| Why Are Some Men Intimidated By Strongwilled Women?
Posted: 8/10/2009 4:00:49 AM | I have encountered some males on these forums who consistently put down women who are intelligent, strong-willed, can take care of themselves., and are not ugly. The best put downs some of these men can give are always the same ubiquitous the woman is gay or a tranny. I never can quite get this mentality because both my father and mother were srong-willed and intelligent. I always figured that my SO to be will be my equal, and not my master. He can be the master of the sheets, and that's perfectly fine for me.  | |

I read his comments. He's just an azz. Nothing more, nothing less.
But back to your point. If they are intimidated it just means they are insecure in their own masculinity. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 4:15:18 AM | Thank you. I still believe that there are some smart, secure, and savvy men out there. Just have to get the rotten apples out before they release that "E" gas that causes other good apples to rot.  I am happy that my parents and big brothers taught me to be strong. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 4:31:20 AM | | Some of us WANT a strong-willed woman. Just like some women want strong-willed guys. Others want jellyfish. To each their own. Someone that puts down others, especially because of a positive trait, is simply trying to make themselves feel better. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 4:31:32 AM | | Got to love pof, almost each week, we get a new threat made by a self proclaimed strong independant/intelligent woman, who is wondering why men are intimidated by their strong self-proclaim attitudes loll.. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 4:39:01 AM | Why??
Because men don't like to be bossed around, told what to do, nagged nor hear a woman yip-yapping at them constantly. The chances of this happening to a man increase exponentially with a strongwilled/overly-outspoken woman.
Secondly, men like demure, feminine women. We don't like Type A, stubborn women. Get on board.
End of story. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 4:43:46 AM | Pay close attaention to the post by Melkiorr. Lets set the jerks aside for a moment and ask the question, "why do good guys move away from strong intelligent women at times? The answer might be very helpful to many of you.
Sometimes strong men, and women, while they have great strength lack wisdom in the area of expressing it. Guys will flex till their arms hurt. Women will (in the words of Helen Reddy) say "hear me roar" (flexing by another name). Both show a lack of maturity in expressing the strength.
If you think about it, the strongest among us is usually the most humble yet we become aware of their strength and admire it without flexing or proclaimation by them. They are not weak or timid. They have just learned to let us "discover" their strength as we get to know them rather than trying to "show" us.
So to all those women who start their profiles with "I am strong, intelligent, etc etc etc and to all those men who make their first pic one with no shirt...think about it. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 4:45:06 AM | | If I come across anyone who starts calling people names because he doesn't like what someone is saying, I understand that they have a serious character flaw that I'm happy to stay away from. I can't stand people who seem to be unable to form a good argument and resort to those tactics. :) | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 4:50:01 AM | | Probably because most women who describe themselves as such are unable to distinguish the difference between strong willed and ****y/Selfish. Relationships are about compromise, if someone describes herself as Strong willed it is somewhat indicative of her unwillingness to give in the relationship.It seems to me that you if you are Strong willed or Strong there would be no need to describe yourself as such so there would be no possibility for someone to make derogatory comments about that aspect of your personality. It may simply be a matter of you coming across as ****y and people are reacting to that and not to the fact that you are Strong willed,,,,, | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 5:19:23 AM | I am the opposite of bossy. I like strong men. I am action oriented,which does not translate into a nagging bore who rants at men. Men can do that pretty well without my help. LOL I just do not like being walked over.
To Bobisthe14u:
Does your attempt at humor actually work with the ladies? I can cook anything, and I hate arm wrestling. I am an exellent Chess player, and remember that the queen is the third most powerful piece on the board.
I don't typically date jerks, so the guys I have dated never have a problem with my attitude or my femininity (I am actually the type that loves dressing girly).
Yeah, to each his/her own. No one will ever be satisfied, no one. | |

Yes, we exist. And believe it or not, some of us are sick of self-proclaimed "Strong willed Women" who break or go nuts every time a man dares to say "no" to them. The difference is, we are secure enough as to admit it openly, instead of acting as harem eunuchs and demean our fellow men. | |

Having said that forums are for giving out opinions and stronger posters get noticed more, not that it matters. | |

One of the most intelligent responses to this re-occurring, somewhat tiresome thread. A variance of it will show up under "Why are women so b____chy? Why are men intimidated by strongwilled/confident women?"
Steve CHO nailed it, THAT is what a confident person is
New week is upon us | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 6:36:41 AM | | I reckon it might be an insecurity thing, some guys are afraid that if they're not 'wearing the trousers' so to speak it reflects badly on their role or image in society. Some guys just l;ike to be in charge. There's just as many who are attracted to strong women. | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 7:01:10 AM | Ah yes, men dont like you cause your so independent, THATS the reason, it cant be anything your doing, nothing at all...us as men are so scared and run away from women who are independent....
You are just like the other annoying men on here who start the dreaded "Im really nice, why dont girls like me?"
couple things...If you yell from the rooftops that your are "so" independent....
1. your probably not, and thats the excuse you use that nobody wants you
2. your a b-it-ch and cant see it, so the word "independent" is good to use
I have NEVER heard any of my friends, or me for that matter say the following...
"I dont like her cause she is so independent" | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 7:35:48 AM | Gay or a tranny? Where's your birth certificate? LOL.
Well said Broncs Buff.
No sane man will ever turn away a beautiful woman that is competent in far more than being beautiful. However we have this problem in today's culture of consumption where some women proclaim themselves to be alpha females when in fact they're just self absorbed beotches. Don't give off the vibe and good men will not reciprocate it. Good men want partners, not liabilities.
Good luck to you young lady. Be strong.  | |
