Most men don't like women who are forward, opinionated, and argumentative?

True or false?

I read something that really struck a chord with me. I've been single forever, for different reasons, but I've been told by a few friends that they can't picture me in a relationship with a man, they think a man would have a hard time dating me. I could probably be with a woman, but not a man. that's what my lesbian friend told me, in part because I am so opinionated, blunt, and expressive, I almost never hold my tongue and I like to talk things out. She says men in general will have a harder time putting up with me because there's an ego issue there. They don't want some woman putting them in their place and questioning them all the time. I remember once when I was younger, I was arguing with my dad and he said something like, "Good luck finding any man to put up with you if you continue acting like this." To begin with, I was like, 14 when he said that. So not only was I thinking, f*** men, but I was also really confused as to where that came from. And recently some guy told my friend that he thought I looked good and he thinks I'm really pretty (I think she mentioned me being self conscious about my weight because I'm a little bit chubby) but "her personality is the problem." This also confused me because he wasn't shy in coming up and talking to me when we saw each other in school, he told me he thought I was really mature and interesting, all this sh*t. But apparently my personality sucks. My friend agreed with the opinion expressed in the title. she told me, "you need to understand, these men want submissive women. You talk too much for them, they want you to nod and smile."

So OF COURSE I'm posting a question about it here ;)

Do you agree with this, do you think it's bullsh*t, and why do you have that opinion?

Be honest and explain for me. I'm really curious about what you guys think. I'll never change my personality just for a man, but it doesn't hurt to know what people think about things.
