i was gonna say something along those lines.

it isn't that men are intimidated by strong women, but rather those that act like b!tches.

regardless of how independent a woman is, how strong, how assertive, etc., it's still nice to be, to a certain extent, feminine and soft.

I believe you on this fully

i cant help myself i guess im just gonna get banned then. men arent intimidated by strong woman they just want a lady. If i wanted strong i would go hang out with the guys. lol.....

Very true

there's wear you are mistaking...in my opinion...most of the strongest women are the 'ladies' look throughout history and you'll see this is true...however i'm just thinking maybe she wasn't talking physically strong...hmmmmmm just a guess though

Like in everything not all are but some do. I knew one she's strong so strong she knew everything and me nothing but thats one and thats why I said I like strong woman as long as...

HA HA... you know that is not what the term means... you know what type of woman we are speaking of as well... a strong woman can be just as lady like as any silly man...

Not all men are intimidated by strong women. Some men actually want a strong or STRONGER woman in their lives to lead and direct.
But, usually, I find the ones who want nothing to do with a strong woman are the ones who were raised to believe that the man is to be at the helm.
There are the sick ones who want to be and have learned they are to be dominant, but they got the definition of dominance screwed up somehow. They think it has to be a power struggle and think that keeping a woman "down" is the way to go. Having seen too much in a women's shelter, I know of what I speak.

I am a strong woman. I have to be. But, I would enjoy a strong man with a healthy frame of mind who knows I would appreciate being able to relax and not always have to be in charge. You know, one of those best friends with whom there is a greater relationship.

You will find that not ALL men are intimidated by assertive females. Some are but bleh, who cares. There are men who will accept you as you are and actually they will thrive on your strength. Generally it becomes a situation of give and take and the power dynamic within the relationship will need to reflect this. It can be remarkably fulfilling. They are out there, just keep your eyes open.

Amen! Sista!

No one intimidates me

My point of view

!BOO!

Actually, that kinda describes my Maria

an intimaded person is a person that is afraid to start with but all men want to have the uper hand
and women are always more cunning

okay ill elaborate....

it was a pun....

ill make an example when my x and i first broke up i held up pretty good i guess. but when she cried or was vulnerable in anyway i couldnt do anything but give in. I think its just that men are a sucker for a vulnerable woman at least i am. But its probably more that women that say im strong are generally gaurded and thats a turnoff not to say your gaurded just generally thats how it comes across. your getting lumped n with them i dont know thats for me anyways

feelings of intimidation is nothing more than fear; fear that you are not good enough, will not be accepted, will not make the cut, etc. If you have feelings of intimidation you need to explore why? You might have an inferiority complex and therefore not able to deal with a person with a superiority complex, ergo you feel intimidated. Both should run in opposite directions. if you have an inferiority complex you need to raise your self esteem. in order to raise your self esteem you need to start winning at things building your confidence to where you know you are good enough, you are a winner.

okay how about side by side whats wrong with that?

why does someone have to be in control? why not just compromise? i think both are wrong if you feel you have to be strong it may be cause your really weak? I think strong doesnt brag about it they know what the are and are confident in it. but nobody likes to get lead by the nose, woman or man. so honestly if a woman says they are strong its just a red flag to me that something else is going on.

You are as strong if not stronger than the challenges you have overcome. The old adage what doesn't kill you makes you stronger is definitely true. The problem with strong women is not their strength, it is how they choose to use it. They forget the qualities that made them alluring as a woman or see it as a weakness. They use these qualities to get the man and to manipulate to get what they want. They use their so called strength to push a man away when things aren't going the way they want it to. A truly strong woman knows the true balance between her femininity and her time honored strength and strive to create a balance. This is not an easy task, especially if she has to use her strength against the very thing she was created to love in order to protect herself from use and abuse. Bottom line men- When you meet a strong woman with men issues that's a woman that has been hurt over and over again, not her fault. Vulnerability and love goes hand in hand. once you love you make yourself vulnerable. Your part in the process is to make sure you don't use your strength of discernment to use and abuse a female resulting in the strong women you have come to now despise. You are the beginning and end to every aspect of what you find in society as good or evil, now you have to work twice as hard to clean up the mess. Good luck!!!!
