How do you define strong? If you mean trying to go toe to the with him loke à man then no not really. If you mean calmly standing in your power and holding to your boundaries in a calm holistic way that isn't aimed at emasculation then no they are in are and admire that greatly.
*awe.
I think most people want, if not someone mildly similar, then someone who balances them. In the ways you are masculine, you will likely want someone feminine.
No they don’t intimidate me truthfully I general could care less about them.
That aside being genuinely strong and thinking your strong as two different things. Likewise you can appear strong yet actually be a weak individual.
Then there’s the matter of what strength is. Power? Money and career? Physically strength, mental strength? What strength is will vary depending on who you ask.
Only weak men are intimidated by strong women. Strength is not exclusively a male trait.
If you have to be with someone weak in order to feel strong, you have a fragile ego and even more fragile masculinity.
How ever it's not like you are going to have to worry about that... no high value woman would want anything to do with you anyways so it's not an issue that you will have.
A strong woman is manly- she has a wide back and hairy legs. Possibly a penis too. Why would any man want that?
Some men are, then again some men are not. As for me I really don't care either way. When I spend time with a lady I want her to actually be a lady. If she can't do this I no longer want to be around her. To be fair I don't like being around males that are assholes. This is a VERY complex subject full of rabbit holes.
Avoided more like, if you see a woman that has muscular arms that look like they're about to pop out of her body, I'm not quite sure who could find that attractive, but I sure couldn't, now smooth looking skin is far more "feminine" to me as it's nice to look at.
Do you mean strong smelling?
Sometimes they were a lot of perfume that makes me think I have been warped back in time to the 1930s.
I don't like that.
It's not just the smell that is bad it also makes me feel obligated to rape Hitler so that he will be too busy showering to occupy the Rhinelands.
(credit belongs to Louis CK for the Hitler raping joke)
I'm not intimidated and I wouldn't say that I don't want a strong woman.
Yes, usually I like petite gals but nothing's keeping me from other gals that are more muscular or that are more sharp minded and head strong. I don't have any problem with it.
I disagree. I think behind a strong man there should be a strong women.
Are you telling me you'd prefer an unreliable, depressed, insecure, very jealous woman? Because that's what I see as a weak woman.
I’m definitely not saying that.
Good. That means you Do desire a strong woman.
@Ms_Facesitter
There should be a balance between being a Mary Sue like Rey or Kevin Smith She-Ra and being weak and jealous.
He meant like we don’t want a woman that’s all veiny and bulging muscles everywhere like a male gym fanatic.
We were talking about physical build not character
@WhiteBoyChill Isn't that normal? We go for men because, they're men, male. If his body resembled a woman I would probably look the other way too.
Yes of course. We weren’t saying that its unattractive for a woman to show strength in non-physical ways
There the difference between a strong woman and a bullheaded woman. Strong people like other strong people. Nobody likes a bullheaded person.
I think a lot of men don't want physically and emotionally strong women 😂 but aren't intimidated. For the idiots who can't read I didn't say "all" men.
I do not. People seem to get confused between "unattracted to" and "intimidated by". It's basically the same bullshit as people who don't know what "phobic" or "phobia" means. It means "afraid of" or "having fear of" not "doesn't like." Like I don't like BBQ chicken on pizza. But I'm not BBQ-chicken phobic. It's really not that fucking hard.
Its hard to be intimidated by a smaller weaker woman, even if she is being bossy and commanding like a man. Its just annoying and unattractive and you only put up with it for her other attributes until you can't stand to her anymore.
Do you mean women who are masculine and dominant or those who are mentally healthy, independent and stand up on their own type?
The latter is definitely more attractive.
@WhiteBoyChill I know right, I don’t quite get what the asker means. A strong women generally means what I said in the latter part.
Yes they are. My experience says they are. I’m not even independent in the sense that men describe as the annoying feminist... I just know who I am, I live my life and I won’t accept less than I deserve.
There's a difference between a strong woman with character and a manly woman or a woman who has manly characteristics. I don't want the latter.
This is how most men see them : she's strong and independent on her own so I must be disposable so I can't really force her to do stuff and she's going to be high maintenance and all I wanted to do was to just fuck lol...
LOL, no. A weak woman isn't the kind of person that can deal with adversity and isn't the kind of person you can be sure of, either.
Nope. The opposite.
Sadly most women think "strong" means "being a nasty bitch"
Growing up men were brought up to believe they are supposed to be that strong guy, the protector of women the nice guy they want, pay for dinner, open car doors.
We were lead to believe we were the strong ones and women weren't.
Saying that though I have no problem with strong women, if they want to be the big boss woman, earn more money than their partner, even physically strong is fine too.
