Strong women intimidate men?

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?

@Chevy: That's one of the reasons I take part in these chat-rooms - it helps me see other peoples' interpretations, etc. from different countries, 'cos even though it'd be sooo much easier if everyone thought like me, I'm glad they don't.

dkj ~~~~~~ Me too ____________________________ Kermit~~~~~~ I was kidding. The statement that "At the end of a man's life, God holds the man responsible for his wife and his family; not the woman" seemed a bit far-fetched to me; seeing that we all must work out OUR OWN salvation. But then I realized you were just repeating what jewels had said. So maybe I should ask her,"What are you smoking?" KIDDING EVERYBODY!

Personally, I tend to be attracted to the shyer ones, than super ambitious women. It causes big problems for me if a woman "has" to be better than me at something. Not that I really would mind if she made more money or was better at things, there's just a difference between being better and throwing it in others face. But it is a little intimidating to see a woman who is very ambitious and such. Not exactly sure why. And after about ten seconds of thinking about it, I think i figured it out. I believe men have a greater sense of pride, and when a woman is more successful or better at something, it challenges things. I think men place too much of our "worth" in what we do and things we achieve. Even without pride it can still be a problem, because it feels like we are less of a person to the lady. And no one is less than the other, I think it's just the way men think. He doesn't have to be proud to be challenged



I think it's kinda like this: Men generally think in data so: His achievements > her achievements/ambitions or otherwise challenged



But women generally think in feelings so: Our achievements don't matter just as long as were both happy.





Perhaps I've spoken some things incorrectly, but I hope not.

@chevyRocks...



I think you took what I said out of context. I never stated that a man is responsible for his wifes salvation. I said a man is responsible for his family and their actions.



It is the man's responsibility to be the head of household, to be the spiritual leader, protector and provider. He is responsible for his family and the things they do. A simple example, If he does not teach his children right from wrong, guide them in the way they should go, and they go out and murder someone, he is responsible for not teaching them the commandments.



As the head of household, the husband-the word means "House Band", in other words, the one who holds the family and house together-is the one held accountable for the people under his authority. Most men are uncomfortable accepting this total responsibility, even though they like having the authority.

HolyGhostgirl,

You said: "I love being strong, even though it intimidates. Too bad!!"

If you are really filled as your name implies, I have little doubt that sooner or later the Spirit will deal with a attitude of 'me first'..

@victory7, response to the original post.



Women like that put confidence in their flesh, and in fact, are quite weak.



The sad part is that should they continue on like that, they often don't realize their error until they are much older, and everything they thought they had as value for social currency is suddenly gone.



It's sad, actually!

16: of, relating to, or being a verb that is inflected by a change in the root vowel (as strive, strove, striven) rather than by regular affixation



understanding strong helps, as my dad told me a few years ago, women are so much stronger than men, just takes men a while to understand that, some men never understand, as he added now don't get the big head or anything he was talking about women not getting upset, troubled mentally or emotionally, or disturbed & losing our poise during times of great stress. I understand not all women have this ability, due to my upbringing I can truthful say I am strong woman and there is nothing wrong with it, if I didn't know who I am I am sure satan would have brought me down from serving my Lord long ago. If you don't know where or what you believe in you will surely fall for anything. So having moral or intellectual power, having great resources, effective or efficient especially in a specified direction, not mild or weak, extreme, intense, rich in some active agent, not easily injured or disturbed, solid, not easily subdued or taken, well established, firm, not easily upset or nauseated, that is me in a nutshell. Not by might but by my spirit says the Lord. A strong woman in the Lord knows there is nothing wrong with having your beliefs, and is able to share that with others, doesn't mean to beat other over the head with it, not meek and mild but she also knows when I shut and pray about all things. Does that mean I wish to force a man into giving me my way, NO WAY, that is not of the Lord, that is what prayer is for, let Him be God, fast and pray when needed, shut up, get on your heart knees and let Him do the changing, (usually you will be changed) He has our back no matter what. Can I tell someone where I want to eat? yep Can I tell someone what I believe? yep Can I dig a ditch? yep Can I take apart the sump pump while running the wet vac to remove a gravel? yep or make a decision on what do to about something major? yep.....not to big on setting back and letting someone else lead me around, nothing wrong with finding my voice, being able to tell someone else what I think, while also realizing others may not see it how I do, but I do know how to discuss it, come to a balanced decision for both, through Him
