I have concluded that unless they are in control, men are intimidated by women who are self sufficient and can hold their own. I would very much like to have a male companion but it seems as though either I'm not attractive enough or I'm too independent. They say that they want a strong woman but when they encounter one, they immediately put up a wall and back off.

I agree with you.

I totally agree - the only person I would ever give up control to is Johnny Depp (lol) and even then I would have issues

A real man would welcome a woman who is self-sufficient and has her own interests. They look beneath the skin to see the woman inside and don't place so much emphasis on outward appearance. A real man would be supportive of his lady's interests and encourage her to be all that she could be.

The men who are control freaks are full of insecurities and thus they try to break their women down to their levels.

Hehe... well, erm, actually i'm a woman and tend to find that my independence gets in the way of my relationships - i get cross with having to fit someone into my life, then cross with myself for not being able to handle it, then just run a mile cos i'm fed up of the guilt. tch, i'm probably just a bloke at heart!

I love Sam Elliott but I would have to steal Shemar Moore from helpmeiniw.

deleted_user 04/08/2007

i agree..i think we're seeing a generational thing in terms of men choices..me? sam elliot is good as is liam neeson

bebu 04/08/2007

I confess - had to Google both Liam Neeson and Shemar Moore - I guess it is a generational thing - Shemar - not too bad at all, Liam -ummmm (each to his/her own)

Well - I'm still new to the whole single girl thing - but my additude is love me for who I am - and I will in return. Not all men are intimidated by self-sufficient women. And those that are are looking for a "puppet". Am I 100% self=sufficient - no. I can't do alot of the "manly stuff" and that's where I miss having a man...well...bsides the obvious too LOL - But I like Jane & Lola's theory about Bob - He works for me right now! LOL

deleted_user 04/08/2007

Well with me being a scorpion I am naturally dominant and well it has caused tons of problems with the men(just read my journal)

But, I would be submissive to Leonardo Dicaprio, woo lawd, I dream about that man
