I'm just not attracted to really muscular women. Not intimidated, just not attracted to it.
However, non-physically strong women are incredibly attractive. I don't get into insecure people. If you have confidence and know how to handle your business, that really gets my attraction meter to sky rocket. | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 6:05:12 PM | | Maybe because strong is another way to say pushy. Heartless do what ever to get what they want, and their way. Atleast thats what I have heard men say about that type. Strong has a lot of meaning, I guess it depends what way they see them as being strong. Strong can be a good are bad thing, depending on the lady. | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 6:11:03 PM | This topic has been done over and over here---each time it comes up it's the same thing. The notion men are intimidated by "strong women" is not true for the most part. There is a huge difference in how this "strength" is viewed and in a lot of instances SOME women think they're strong and "intimidating" but SOME of those turn out to be nothing more than bad-attituded people masquerading as someone who has it all together.
Someone who is truly strong in character isn't one prone to brag about it or call attention to that about themselves. It's a quality that is evident almost immediately and really never "intimidates" anyone, either. More often it's seen as being "bit*chy" and most men will run away from that sort of personality quicker than you can blink---just as women would do in the reversed situation. You could say a lot of this is just an over bearing, arrogant attitude that is self-proclaimed as being "strong"---in the end it only drives men away. Not because we're "intimidated"----we're just not interested in bit*chy women!!
Don't assume things in life----it brings on a heap of trouble!!

Posted: 12/15/2005 6:20:17 PM | | I've got no problem with strength. Some of us however percieve a strenth within us that in reality is a self serving delusion. Perhaps assertiveness in the work place aside, being strong doesn't mean being a B*i*t*c*h anywhere. Confidence and succinct direction are more than attractive to me, they could be an aphrodisiac. I'll give an alpha female the respect she deserves and perhaps the interest she instills within me. I try not to give a B*i*t*c*h the time of day. Forgive me ladies, I just got b*i*t*c*h*e*d at. | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 6:41:12 PM | strong women are great, they never whine about this and that.
And are straight up and have some self esteem.
Ones that are strong because they have a chip on their shoulder and men bash suck! | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 6:54:35 PM | Some men want a trophy on their arm, not one who is capable of challenging their minds. For the most part though, I think almost all guys want to be around women who do have it all together. If they have an emotional weakness, it's that most of them don't want to be constantly trying to put things together for a woman who doesn't have things together. Most men are not that patient. I don't think it's the men that are intimidated really. Rather, I think it's because women answering to that description of being "strong", know what they deserve and aren't willing to settle for less. Rejection is almost always at the top of everyones list of fears.
* i didn't say all men and women.....i said *some* | |
