By all means! Speak on it! Others opinions and facts as they see them are allways welcome. But as to dishing it out and taking it, it all depends on the offering and whats being served. And how far ones sense of humor extends to "all in good fun".

But not wanting a man to take care of her, can often be translated into not being accepting of a mans ways of showing that he cares for her. People who care will, after all, try to help "take care of things". That concept doesn't have to be so troublesomely ruffling to ones ego. Or so Iddishly abhorent. Despite the fact that when that has to occur it is a thorn to ones sense of independence. Really a sense of that is all a person truely has, because to be truely, involves the personal effort and knowlege to manufacture for all of ones personal needs and wants.

So it begs the question of why dildos were invented, and the next glory of true feminine independance the sperm bank! ;)

Yup and the final glorious stage. An evolutionary step for the truely independant "do it yourselfer". Genetic modification to promote hermaphrodism. Yay! ;)

And years later a person might have to say:

Now now, dont get too excited lil' billysue, you might impregnate yourself. ;)

lol!

In general, guys don't like women speaking at all. A very pretty deaf mute would be a perfect woman.

I tend to speak my mind... But the key word is TACT. If you can speak your mind with tact and sensitivity, then there really shouldn't be any major problems, even if what you have to say could be quite hurtful.

So, as long as she's sensitive about it... Bring it on! I rather have things out in the open, than bottled up.

Saying that however, I did go out with a woman who was quite moody and neurotic. Most of the things that came out of her mouth was toxic venom. But see, because she spoke her mind like this, I knew instantly that this perhaps wasn't the girl for me, and in due course, kicked her a$$ to the kerb.

I like a girl who can speak her mind... I dont want to date a robot or a "yes" girl. Im not saying I'd like to fight and have a battle of will's, but I'd like a girl that puts me in my place every now and then... its very sexy when women take charge. As long as we take turns and its a 50/50 thing, having an intelligent, articulate woman with her own opinion would only make a WEAK MAN feel less of a man. A real man wants a REAL woman...

As an open-minded single woman who very much has her own opinions and speaks her mind.


Depends. If you are really an "open minded" person that has opinions that you voice, and then you are willing to talk about, around and through them, debating them and sometimes have a new opinion when you're done (which is what "open minded" means) then yeah, we like those types.

If you're one of those people who thinks "open minded" means you should voice your opinion and then shove it down my throat and state the same thing over and over and over again without ever listening (really listening and thinking about) what I have to say - then no. It's rude and annoying.

I do appreciate a woman who speaks her mind because I can understand girl-speak. I don't care about a womans social standing or net worth, however a woman that has a means of survival is attractive. Anyone at my age or above who can't sort out their own basic needs is probably going to be way too much work.

This sounds like an apple or orange question.

Personaly, friendly verbal jousting is a turn on. Complemented by touching is even more powerful.

However, if you are constantly going at each others jugular that sub-communicates the wrong signals. Subconsciously he may begin to think that -- you think you are better then him.

It would be pretty boring if a woman just agreed with everything I said! Yeah, definitely... well, within reason. Probably agree with the previous guy that as long as not really going for the 'jugular' all the time

They do actually.

But they like women who speak THEIR minds. Not women who parrot off what it's prresently fashionable to say.

Well, sometimes, people worry to much about what other people think. I definately "hear" what other people say and try to see things from other points of view (and even see things differently if talking with someone who makes good points), but I have my own opinions about things and am not affraid to voice them. If you love drinking all night and I am against it, I will tell you. You can share your reasons and I will share mine. Will I get upset and try to convert you to my ways of thinking? No. But I will speak my mind. Some people wont admit what their own opinions are and ARE looking to say what is "fashionable" or what they think others want to hear at the time, for fear of not fitting in. I think that is stupid and will risk people not liking me by stating my opinion rather than bow to the opinions of others.

And that way, I can just be me and love life!

People who really are independent can stand alone. As a result they don't need to start forum threads seeking the approval or admiration of others.



Basically, I like it. I just don't like hearing about it.


I don't care for those who claim to be able to 'take it & dish it," then send out a S.O.S for help/attention, when the heat comes down on them for "dishing it." It's weak. Either take it, fight back or just stfu.

Well in my past experience a woman who "speaks her mind" was really looking for an excuse to argue. That isnt always a bad thing, intellectually stimulating debates are amazing, however there is a fine line between debate and arguement. Aslong as you both are willing to accept others views on different circumstances or ideas then things will be alright, if not then it can possibly tear your relationship apart.

Personally I love it when girls don't always agree with me, it allows me to open my mind to different ideas and concepts and I think most guys are the same. Sometimes if ideas are too different then guys will immediately shut them down, after a while they will open up, it just takes time.

Bottom line, if you love to speak your mind then do it. Don't adjust your personality just to find a guy. The cost of changing your personality to attract people simpily is not worth it, you would end up depressed in the end. The right guy will come along who you could challenge, and they could challenge you alike.

I absolutely love a woman who speaks her mind. Just make sure that there's plenty of mind to back up all that speech. As they say, "'Tis better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

I don't mind if you speak your mind, but don't get all rude and use the "Oh I'm a strong woman rah rah" as an excuse to hide behind your rudeness as I've seen on multiple occasions.

I've noticed that many people who think they are speaking their minds, are often just parroting others.

A woman speaking her mind is a good thing. But there is a difference between speaking her mind and being opinionated and uncompromising on everything. The latter is annoying.
