Posted: 10/16/2007 7:28:49 AM | As much as I do not care for stereotyping, the term 'strong woman' can mean many different things as you can see by previous posts. Some are great descriptions of many of us women. I especially liked # 15 & #16.
Being labeled as strong, indenpendant, ****y, gentle, caring.............who really cares? I can be any or all if the situation warrants. I am a quirky combination of all the right stuff to be comfortable in my own skin.
It's how I live my life everyday. I can look into my lovers eyes with honesty, into my childrens eyes with love and face problems/challenges head on. I earn respect by my actions & reactions.
Also mentioned in previous posts is the hereditary aspect of it all. I am from a long line of women who had a job to do, and did it well! | |

To put it in short terms... CEO I think many of us need to stop idolising these people, many of who show signs of psychosis or maybe sociopathy. This is not behavior to model. | |

Posted: 10/16/2007 11:31:49 AM | | The strength of a woman is in the depth of her character and the product of her action, not the folly of her facade. I love strong women, just not deuded and self absorped b*i*t*c*h*e*s that "think" they are alpha females. | |

Posted: 10/16/2007 12:10:22 PM | It means when I get tired of walking through the goddamn park that all these women seem to want to do, she can pick me up and carry me the rest of the way.  Oh, how I dream. | |

Posted: 10/16/2007 1:17:20 PM | I consider myself a strong woman.
Strong does not equal b**ch. For those men who experienced b**ches and viewed them as “strong” what you really were experiencing was a flawed and needy individual who was looking to you to make her feel better.
A strong woman is someone who has learned from and lived painful experiences without becoming embittered.
She knows what she can longer accept in a relationship and is willing to walk away from an unhealthy one.
She understands herself a lot better than when she was 19.
She can stand on her own two feet. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t want a great man by her side but she’ll be ok until then.
She doesn’t need a man to save her.
She has integrity and will not compromise her values and morals.
She is able to discuss issues in a straightforward respectful way because she now knows that people can’t read minds.
I would like to think that these same qualities constitute a “strong” man...
What a strong woman is NOT:
Demeaning or verbally abusive of others
Physically abusive
Intolerant
A hypocrite
Unwilling to be accountable | |

Posted: 5/4/2008 8:25:28 PM | | in dating, the term "strong woman" means "dont date her" , it requires effort on the male part, and most here arent here for real relationships...so they use the term to mean "move on to easier target that requires less effort on their part to get whatever it is they think they can get" | |

Posted: 5/4/2008 9:46:54 PM | these are my definitions;
1. Strong woman; demanding, always needs to have their way. there are 2 ways of thinking; theirs and the wrong way.
2. Can you keep me in line?: a woman who is always pushing your buttons, making conflicts and loves drama | |

It seems that you have had more experiences with b.itches than strong women. I consider myself to be a strong, independant woman. Having said that, I agree with many of the other women posters about what constitutes a "strong woman". I am at a point where I know who I am and what I want/need in life and relationships. I have the utmost respect for other people's feelings and wished but have no problem tactfully expressing any disagreement I may have with their ideals or thoughts.
I think the point most female posters are making is that we want an equal partner relationship, and are assertive enough to voice our opinions without disrespecting those of the other person.
Don't give up on "strong women" yet. There are those out there who are the real deal and not B.itches in disguise.

Well spoken tropicalgrl1 ... all my lady friends
are "strong women" otherwise they would not
be my friends.
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Posted: 5/14/2008 4:38:03 PM | | someone who doesn't need to boast about how strong or independent she is. is secure and at peace with herself, doesn't need to prove herself to others, takes responsibility and doesn't blame all her problems on men. and doesn't give a crap what other people think. | |
