CuddleBunny View Profile History	I don`t need a man...I`m independent..Blah..blah Posted : 6 Sep, 2011 03:26 AM A woman who puts that on her profile is letting you know she has no interest in using you for financial gain and is emotionally stable and doesn't need a man or anyone as a crutch in life. Usually means she makes her own wealth probably lives alone and pays her own bills. She WANTS a man but doesn't NEED one. This might be a turn off for some men because some guys are attracted to damsels in distress and fear that an independent woman will emasculate him or be too into herself and/or her career. What many guys don't realize is that not all independent women are these stuck up "all about me" people. Many independent women make time for their family, allow a man to feel "manly" by picking up the check or opening the door for her. Again, the independent label is to let you men know that they are not some desperate woman in dire need of a man...they are fully capable of living their lives alone and content. For example: I had a problem with my computer, and knew exactly what needed to be done to fix it. Instead, I went to my boyfriend the time and asked for his help. Nothing wrong with playing damsel for your man for a few ego strokes ;) Post Reply

View Profile History	I don`t need a man...I`m independent..Blah..blah Posted : 6 Sep, 2011 07:00 PM On the whole it's not a bad thing at all. I'd rather women fall on that side of the line than the other anyday. However, it does make most men read closer to what else she says to give it more context as some women sometimes use it as an overcompensation for an insecurity they may have and be a total basketcase. Thumbs up to Bunny's answer as well. Post Reply
View Profile History	I don`t need a man...I`m independent..Blah..blah Posted : 6 Sep, 2011 07:25 PM For some reason I imagine a date with a woman who labels herself as independant as more of a polite but cold business meeting at best than a more warmer personal no agenda connection between two people. Just makes me think of some one who takes herself and her interactions too seriously. Fair or not, it's just the initial impression I get. Side question: What do women think of men who describe themselves as independent men (if any do)? Post Reply
MyCrownIsGod View Profile History	I don`t need a man...I`m independent..Blah..blah Posted : 6 Sep, 2011 07:29 PM First and foremost, women (and men too) should be relying on JESUS to meet their needs. Emotional or otherwise. So for the women who WANTS companionship with a gentleman, but can also be content being single, they might say they don't NEED a man...because they don't. They have Jesus. WANT and NEED are two very different things. Furthermore...we live in a modern world. Women are expected to get an education, move out and go on to college and have a career of her own. We have to be independent, because, let's face facts guys. Do you REALLY want a woman who has lived at home with mommy and daddy her whole life, with no practical life experience running a home, paying bills, making real life choices or being responsible? A lot of men claim they want a Proverbs 31 wife...well, she not only took care of the home and children, she took charge of her life. She delegated responsibilities to the servants, made sure there was enough food, clothing, household supplies etc. Then she worked. She was out in the fields, she was crafting things to sell. She had a home business. She had to, because she knew if something ever happened to her husband, she would need to have a way to provide for herself. I'm sure she WANTED her husband, but the wise woman Proverbs talks about probably didn't think she NEEDED a man either. Seems to me she was just as self sufficient as modern women have to be. According to the Bible, this was the ideal woman... So why are so many men afraid of an independent woman? You can't have it both ways. You can't say "I want a Proverbs 31 wife" and then turn around and bash women for being one. Post Reply
