There are some really amazing men on this site and I am privileged to call some of them my friends. I would really love to hear what they have to say about your topic. Hi everyone,  , my own two cents goes like this, I'm niether impressed or put off by independence in a lady, for me it's a non-issue... I like to feel needed and useful but the important thing is to feel wanted. That being said I will go on to also say that if it's ever pushed in my face as in " well, I'm self sufficiant and don't need anyone", I'm quick to take that as a signal that it's time for me to exert my own independence and back away.
I guess I do feel just a little that I'm a victim of the sexual revolution because it would be nice to feel all three (needed, useful & wanted) but whatever... I'm certainly not going to hold anyone back or dash anyone's self ambitions...

You're quite welcome Ms Fran , I suppose it's a primal thing that alot of guys still want the traditional role but we need to get used to the fact that in today's society, women don't really need us like they needed grandpa... |

we all need/want to feel needed and appreciated, and I can see how some may neglect to show this to their partners hence the feeling of being taken advantage of and underappreciated.

My fiance is quite the independent woman. She has had to be. She has been divorced for over a decade, and raised two girls on her own. Anything that needs to be done, she takes care of. The fact that this woman will be aound my youngest daughter, makes me beleive that my daughter will learn self confidence and independence from her. What a dream come true. I guess that spells out my opinion.

I'm a independent woman..I'm in the Army, go to college when I make it there and I'm a single parent...I have a house, car and pay all my bills... I made a promise to myself never ever again will I be co-dependent on anyone after my divorce...

Do you think that is what happened? the other thing that puzzles me is that the attack on me went on for a good long time; yet the instant he attacked Angelface, the post was deleted. Not that she deserved it either; but I didn't think I did. It seems that the mechanisms that exist to protect people from attack only work for some. Please be advised, that the problem has been resolved, please use the report abuse feature, there is no selectivity among the mods, we are here for all of you.

Good morning all
I just read through everything that I missed when I went to bed, wow. Anyway I think independent ladies are awesome, I am biased though as I am one, but there is nothing wrong with it. If a man is threatened by it then he has issues.
Independent ladies rock

I don't wanna throw the fact that I am a capable, independent person in any guy's face. Just wanna do my thing without being criticized or just having the male take over because "I'm not doing it right". Never said I don't need anyone...would be lost without my friends...especially my male ones. It's nice to know that there are men out there that don't feel threatened by us...which is really what my post was all about.

From my experience, IMHO, the way I see it,
There are we clear on my intent on what I am about to say. Most (MOST) men say they do, but only if you agree with them, I come and go as I please, I say ALOT of things that upset people, I am very opinionated, although I will listen to what you have to say, I will also point out how wrong you are about it
Men I have had relationships with have always said they like independant women, but when my views or thoughts, or actions don't fit into what THEY find acceptable. You knew what I was like when we started dating, now it is unaccecptable all of a sudden?? So usually when a man says "I like an independant women" in my head I add in "when she agrees with me." |

There is a difference between an independent woman & a controlling woman.....What I want is a good listener who will accept me for who I am & not point out my deficiencies to change me....if i need to sound off, I don't need her to be solving my problems, just need her to stop her internal dialogue & hear me......
yes i want an independent woman that can take care of herself, not me!!! |
