it is fine for a girl to work on your career path or go to college to better yourself and learn new things. so you can one day hopefully get a good job or career path. but truthfully most guys don't expect or want a girl. who is only focused on her job/career. since most guys are typically the main provider in a relationship. guys generally just want a girl with a decent income. who can help with the bills and be self sufficient most of the time. so she is not always asking the guy for money to buy things. while you don't have to worry about marriage or children at this stage in life. consider at least looking for a long term or life partner you could see yourself with. so you both can build a bond and foundation together for a relationship to grow. ideally I say 3+ dating before getting engaged. then 3+ engaged before getting married. then consider children after marriage. but it does not always work out like that. or people might not want that even. however the longer your together with someone. the harder it becomes to hide your true nature from them. or they can hide theirs from you.

To be honest, I reached a point in my life a few years ago that a independent and strong woman became my ideal partner. Dating off and on also really drove home the fact that I am a strong and independent person. Dating a woman who seems to feel like she needs to be attached to my hip did make things fizzle out between us rather quickly.

Also my childhood and several events in my adulthood have made become a very strong and determined person. Dating a woman that made me feel like I had to carry her on my shoulders through her issues and never tried to solve them herself, did caused us to part ways.

I'm not one for anything close to a "old school" relationship. Put me in a relationship where I'm expected to be the bread winner and my wife is supposed to take care of the house and me isn't going to work out.

Yes, so me!!! I love being independant and doing my own thing!! I'm the kind of girl that goes exploring and camping and I even load up my kids and we take off tenting until my husband can join us. I love to do my own thing, I love hiking and canoeing and exploring and zipling. I love pumping my own gas, cranking my tunes when i'm driving and enjoy time alone and with friends and with my husband and family too. Totally, think girls should be independant and to never lose that!

I think independent women are very courageous & brave, & those few people in her circle are very rare, just like she is.
There’s a difference between being independent and anti social/ emotional unavailable.
She can be independent but still need the touch & calmness of a man that only a man can provide.
An emotional support from a man speaks volumes. Even if she’s independent on bills, the mental & emotional intimacy would always be needed.

The6ix · Answer

I actually love those type of women and girls. They have their mind set, they want to focus on their goals and they are unique in their own right. I want to meet a girl like that one day, now it’s one thing to be anti social. What you described is similar to how I am. I have friends yes from work, school and other places, but I only talk to a handful of them. Many people I know do drugs or party and that’s not my cup of tea. But it doesn’t mean I shun people, I still want to talk to others, explore new places around the world and etc.

Vencam · Answer

What you're describing seems more like a "loner" then an independent woman, though?
I mean, one can be both, but being a loner doesn't make you an independent person, nor the other way around

In both cases, I don't mind much as long as it's not too extreme. So someone who's incredibly hard to help without offending her or some who barely tolerates spending time toghether for "independent" and "loner" respectively
(I realise "loner" isn't the perfect word in this context, but I can't think of a better one for "someone who generally dislikes social interactions)

TruthBringer · Answer

I actually have a lot of respect for such women. Given they don't have this modern feminist attitude and mentality.  I see myself dating someone like that. Well, that's obvious since I currently am in a relationship with a girl that matches your description lol. And trust me, she is far from 'boring'. I actually enjoy the drama free lifestyle she brings. 1 of the key things necessary for a healthy relationship.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

The independent part isn’t an issue. Her being aloof could be for some men and a bonus for other men. The part that gets tricky is where auch a woman likes her guy and makes a point to spend time with him and he gets used to this then one day she feels overwhelmed by his being around so much and suddenly feels in doing this she is losing her independence - which she effected - and just ends it one day... which is a common theme with “independent women”. Independent women tend to be fickle and that is a problem.

winterfox10 · Answer

I like the theory of them, but so far the practice hasn't been too appealing. I've gotten tired of being on the receiving end of constant indignation and neglect. It should never be too much to ask someone to invest basic time into you, or have them give some acknowledgement of your effort. Or hey, even ask them to put in some semblance of effort, themselves. Perhaps most frustratingly, me explaining that I would like her to make an intentional effort to spend time with me should never be countered with "I don't owe you my time."

Bananaman177 · Answer

What the fuck CAN a guy think about them?

We never meet them or see them or have anything to do with them because they spend their whole lives hiding from men.

I don't have time to think about them, they're too busy making themselves scarce.

Cozzy81 · Answer

When I find one that actually is I'll gladly tell you. Until then all I can say is yes I'd date one it's nice to have someone with a brain and not chasing the 🍆 or my money and can hold her own with or without me. So sick of leeches and bimbos but that's just what I've encountered.

t-8900 · Answer

They are only boring if they are too career focused and not opened to changing and adapting to different living situations. When we are out on a date or if we are together it needs to be about US. Communication, physical contact, close proximity, these keep a relationship solid.

Lostgirl02 · Answer

I make $70k a year in a rural town, and my ex boyfriend was a deadbeat leach who lived off me. All these men talking about how women aren’t independent... yeah it’s because they date bimbos who count on their looks to get by. I guess lucky for me I was never pretty so I had to make my own way, but at least all these jerks can kiss my ass because my ass because they’re good for nothing but 🍆, and frankly I can o that better myself too.

Voodoo_Rose · Answer

That sounds perfect, the kind that has to be friends with everyone but not actually know them deeply, is just your cliche club chick. And if it also means that she is the major bread maker of the house, well then hand me the skirt and ill damn well make sure the giant house she bought is clean, with dinner ready and a smile.

CindyRuns · Answer

Nothing better than a Smart, Strong and Independent woman !!! One who is both an equal to her man and at the same time makes him better being part of his life !!!

007kingifrit · Answer

humans did not evolve to be independent. being independent is a sign that you are a loser. you're supposed to depend on a man just as a man is supposed to depend on you. men and women evolved to compliment eachother, not compete with eachother

this is why feminists end up so miserable. they are fighting human nature

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Yeah i wouldn't want a relationship with someone independent. Just think about the meaning of the words. Relationship is someone you can depend on and independent means you dont need anyone. So in my experience its a waste of time with independent girls, they make shitty girlfriends.

AmeerX · Answer

Independent woman has a negative connotation in my country as these women claim to be independent but they are actually sex workers and prostitutes majorly.

I do like your description of independent woman. I think it is pretty fine what you do. Don't you like to be in a relationship and form a family? You do seem a family oriented person

CoolGuyJoe · Answer

There's a reason she doesn't have many people around. I'm not going to try to change that by trying to enter her world unless she shows me that she's interested in me.

Berethor · Answer

Usually women who claim to be independent are not truly independent, Anita Sarkeesian for example.

I would love to have a relationship with a woman like that, the only problem is finding one since i am very similar. Hard to meet someone when you stay more to yourself unfortunately.

Douglas76 · Answer

Not boring, just settled and probably set in her ways. An independent woman shows strength and capability of building a strong home and family. This day and age an independent woman is greatly valued and appreciated

bluetoblack99 · Answer

If she isn’t holding up a sign saying “I’m a independent woman! Look at me!” then I really like her. I have a lot more respect for them than some copycat useless “socialite” airhead who is devoid of original thought or self reliance.

Browneye57 · Answer

They're fine. We expect women to be able to stand on their own two feet.  When it gets to the 'We don't need no stinkin' men" then all bets are off.

Avi56 · Answer

I come from India where systematically women are not raised to be independent.. let me tell you I will pick an independent woman any day

A non independent woman has limited thinking and emotionally attached which is not passionate but obsessive
