Admin	Strong women intimidate men? Posted : 21 Apr, 2011 04:38 PM Ladies with strong personalities such as who knows what she wants and agressivley goes after it whether in the work place or in relationships. A woman�s physical attractiveness, her character, her demeanor, her attainment � all of that can be daunting to a man who considers such an appealing woman out of his league. Do men view it as �chew �em up and spit �em out� attitude. How does this compare to a proverbs 31 woman? What do you think guys and girls? Post Reply

Posted : 21 Apr, 2011 08:23 PM Saved, it is in the New Living Translation, some research on how the word desire is used in this verse reveals more than the face value of it. After reading everyone else, I realized I may have misunderstood the question. In that light allow me to re-answer: I like a strong woman, when they are strong in the right way. I have many women friends in the horse business that honestly would give a whole new meaning to the word 'strong' to most on this site. However if you mean strong in the sense of wanting to dominate through assertiveness, or passive aggressive or manipulation, well that just irritates me cause I do NOT want to repeatedly assert myself to keep from being walked on. What kind of relationship is that? Post Reply

Tulip89 View Profile History	Strong women intimidate men? Posted : 21 Apr, 2011 11:54 PM Thanks Chevy! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's had to bite his tongue before, "I'm not intimidated by you. I just don't like you," slips out :goofball: That said, I really do like a woman with some sass. I like spunk. I like a girl who isn't passive. I've probably unintentionally railroad a girl who was. It's just that even with all the spunk and sass in the world, there still has to be some benevolence and some niceness to her. Basically, she's gotta have a backbone, but I'd appreciate it if she didn't beat me with it! Post Reply

View Profile History	Strong women intimidate men? Posted : 22 Apr, 2011 06:03 AM Whew. Tulip totally nailed this one. "It's not that I'm intimidated by you. It's that you are a troll" would be mine. There's strong, and then there's people that overcompensate for weakness and then try to act like everyone else is weaker for disliking them for being a total beligerant condescending as$. Post Reply
riveroflife1 View Profile History	Strong women intimidate men? Posted : 22 Apr, 2011 10:39 AM I have been through many of lifes challenges...by myself. I rasied both kids alone and took care of them the best I could, I struggled alot but God always provided. so today, I am called a "strong" woman because of things I faced in life and and now on the other side of the pain, I dont fall apart so easy, but I also know that alot of men dont like that about me. The strength I have is that I'm not afraid to tackle something, not afraid to try and not afraid to fail. the years i was in ministry, i was a leader, it comes naturally. I look forward to the time when I have a leader who can mentor me and I can be his helpmate. I have no desire to be in charge...with that said, I would need a man who can take his role and who I respect for that role. Otherwise, it wouldnt work because I would assume the lead. maybe that can help you understand "strong" women a little. there is a difference between an independant woman and a strong woman. independance isnt good for women cuz then what would our need be for a mate be, they dont really have a need for one. strong women realize their need for someone but take things on because they have to, they dont want to but they need to make it happen.

View Profile History	Strong women intimidate men? Posted : 22 Apr, 2011 11:15 AM Wow, I agree with riveroflife, she said it just right. If you are an independent woman, why would you need a husband? Husbands are there to support the woman, just as a wife should help support her husband/respect him etc. Post Reply
lynneb423 View Profile History	Strong women intimidate men? Posted : 22 Apr, 2011 12:13 PM I think my viewpoint of independence is different. I don't think of myself as not needing a mate, but that my well-being is not contingent upon finding another person. I'm capable of living the rest of my life alone ... if that's what God has for me. Maybe my perspective is different- as I'm much older, and I've been by myself for 16 years. So, at this stage in my life my thoughts turn to being prepared for a life without a mate. But, if God ever blesses me with a relationship- I'm living as a happy, fulfilled person who lives life with a purpose in serving Him ... and when that other person enters my life he makes my life that much happier; but in the meantime I don't live a life of emptiness without someone.
