A strong woman is the one who has willingness in her heart, works harder, complains less and doesn't let setbacks in life deter her from her main objectives and core values, she suffers long and feels everything that comes with the hardships of life and doesn't take it out on others but, doing her worst, she's at her best (even if she doesn't think so) because she doesn't take the easy way and doesn't lie or steal or suck dick to get what she needs to survive. She has dignity in earning what she deserves and doesn't complain about it or fear hard work or a challenge. Despite all that she's up against in life, she still believes that life is worth living and working for what you want. A strong woman has a mind of her own and won't adopt other people's group thinking for the sake of fitting in but respects others point of view and values. She's someone who learns from pain, regret and past life mistakes and doesn't repeat them or continue to see herself as a victim, a strong woman uses her pain to help others who are survivors of trauma learn that they can survive too and rebuild a life. She's someone who looks back on a painful past not as a life disabling thing but motivation to create a better future for herself all the people who are part of her life. She's not pushy, demonstrative about her strength and doesn't tear people down around her or compare her own pain and hardships to others, she's a woman who can be competitive in the world but understands there's no dignity in stepping on or using others to get ahead. These are all the things that I know to be true about a strong woman. An arrogant woman is different because she believes that she deserves everything and the best in life with very little to no action made on her part, she believes that she's always ahead of the curve and almost is never satisfied, she complains about everything and lies about all the things that I described a strong woman has to make herself appear to be more than she really is, but her words and behavior do not match up, she delights in other people's demises and claims that her pain and life dilemmas are worse than others and therefore she deserves the most sympathy. She's fiecely competitive and vicious and not opposed to sabotaging her competition or breaking the law to get what she wants (she also doesn't believe that she should be held accountable if she's caught) this kind of woman is extremely selfish and pushy and abusive to family members and lovers and unapologetic. She has trouble connecting with other or feeling sympathy and often has to feign it to keep from being seen as insensitive. These are the the differences between two different kinds of women "strong" and "arrogant"
How do you separate legitimately strong men from assholes that think they're "alpha men"? It's the same way regardless of sex.
A strong person - male or female - is confident, self-assured, etc. They are often patient & helpful and though they may accept praise it doesn't mean as much as a pat on the back comes from themselves (they're the last to seek out praise/gloat about success).
Same reason why a number of people who jump in & become heroes for an emergency don't run around screaming "look at me" afterward - hell there's been situations where the police & news have asked so & so for saving X person to step forward so they **can** be honoured for their behavior, bravery, etc. - because their upbringing, their morals, and ethics makes their antics as without thought as breathing to others.

Arrogant women & asshole "alpha men" are the complete opposite of what I described. They are insecure, lack confidence, etc. and they make up for it with bravo and bluster.
Like a balloon, they "puff" themselves up with an imaginary sense of self-worth so much so that when anyone "pops" that little bubble of theirs they become insulting, aggressive, abusive, etc.

Those are two different traits and you can have one without the other the same as in men.
I think that a strong woman is someone who is physically strong like hits the gym as well as can make decisions, can take charge when needed, etc etc. Strong women still cry the same as strong men. I think there are professions that make women strong including ones where they are competing with primarily men say military's or law enforcement or firefighter or a heavy equipment operator most of those women are strong.
A arrogant woman. She has a problem with men and always thinks she has something to prove. She hates men and strongly dislikes women who she feels is above or below her level.
She is the type of woman that thinks she is better then everyone else. There is more then one way to be arrogant. I guess she would say and this is a different trait someone can be strong but have no confidence or vice versa. But be confident without being arrogant or cocky and as well as not being overconfident.
Meaning she feels comfortable in her own skin.
I think a strong woman could take initiative.
A strong person also helps and protects those weaker then themselves. It is a coward that preys on people who he or she feels is weaker, not as smart, etc.
I think that a woman who is strong when you are in a relationship with her she isn't as petulant and always needing a man to do everything for her... that sure gets old.
Oh my gosh... A strong woman a major difference in a strong woman is that she is not pathetic in ways like flipping out over small stuff. Among other things like that.
I am not saying that a woman whose strong does not have emotions and does not get upset, cry, get angry, etc. But it is reasonable.
Not that a woman who is struggling from some mental condition is automatically weak but women who have no reason to be the way they are to even total strangers and think people are going to put up with it.
Confidence is knowing your strengths AND weaknesses.
Arrogance is thinking all of these are strengths, or demanding how others should think of you.
For instance, thinking "I've got a bit of extra weight, but I think overall I'm pretty good looking", and being aware and accepting that not everyone may like you? That's confidence.
Arrogance is more "I'm the hottest one in the room. If you disagree, you're wrong." It's less of accepting and brushing off those who don't like you, and more animosity and acting like they don't GET to dislike you, and that they are just an asshole if they don't.
So like a confident person has sculpted themselves into someone, and they know what that someone is like. So like I'm definitely more of a geek. I don't have much problem cracking jokes at my own expense about not knowing much about sports, or being known for lacking knowledge of sports. Because with the version of me I've sculpted, following sports just really wasn't a high priority.
Arrogance is thinking you know it all. Confidence is having little issue with saying you don't know.
I'd say actions rather than words. You can be strong and still show compassion, it's just that your goals are important and the bottom line for you. For someone arrogant their goals may not necessarily be their bottom line, or top priority, but rather anyone who does not overtly show them respect or even submission.
Both will be put into circumstances where they will need to say things to put on a tough face to achieve their objectives. What those objectives are, how they chase them, and how they treat other people will differ greatly though. That's why I say to ignore the words and focus on the actions.
To be strong you're going to have to step on a lot of people to get ahead, same with being arrogant. Someone strong with an objective will only do so when necessary, someone arrogant will seek out stepping stones.
It's also possible to be both and have no differentiation, some people get a taste for power and it gets to their head, that's not uncommon at all. They can keep their original objectives as number 1 and just be an asshole.
Same with men. A person who is strong has the confidence to be kind without worrying g it will be seen as weakness. They have healthy boundaries so they being kind is out of compassion not as a means to attention or to avoid confrontation- like many people who are “nice” when they don’t really want to be.
when a person is strong as someone mentioned they don’t announce it they just carry on doing what is right. When a person is arrogant they make a show about it and their sun is not to do what is right but to satisfy their ego.
How can you differentiate strong women from arrogant ones?
A An arrogant woman can quickly be recognised by her words she speak. Strong woman usually dont appear publically unless someone is in need of help.

Are strong women allowed to be compationate?
A Yes if they choose to be they don't need anyone's approval.
Does strong women means to put men down?
A No it means to lift herself and other with her up.
What do you think define your strong women.
A Good Physical and mental strength.
Kind and compassionate by nature.
Smart and wise.
A strong woman knows her place and purpose, and is not easily deterred from achieving a life goal that is about something other than herself. She only expects a halfway fair chance, never a completely free ride. She may lose a few battles, but can lose gracefully.
She takes time to assess others in a situation, and is slow to make assumptions, and slow to pass condemnation. She is also willing to assess efforts by others to give her factual correction, without being smug and dismissive. Arrogant women think they know it all, needn't listen to anyone, and can ignore advice and correction with impunity.
A strong woman isn't afraid of her femininity, afraid of feeling vulnerable, or afraid of helping out men around her or relying on them for the things she can't do.
An arrogant "strong independent woman" is just an inferior version of what she thinks an "Alpha Male" is, and envies/hates all men, as well as any femininity.
What?
Strong vs arrogant basiclly comes down to talk vs action, if she does what she has to do then I'd say she's strong, if she feels the need to glote and brag about her accomplishments then I'd say arrogant.
Yes strong women just like strong men can be compassionate.
I'd say strong is overcoming challenges and diversity.
Being strong or even arrogant has nothing to do with putting others down, arrogant is just a strong sense of self worth, and you don't have to tear others down to biuld yourself up, arrogant people thinking they are better isn't the same as calling others worse.
An arrogant person will feel superior to others and make sure they know how much better they are, will brag and announce their superiority.
A strong person can be full of self worth and have healthy boundaries. But can still be kind and humble to others. Rather than try to belittle them, a strong person can be helpful and uplifting.
In my eyes a strong woman is a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. She's been through hardships or at least knows how to get through them when they happen. Shebis grateful for what she has
Willing to swallow pride when she is wrong, not selfish, no contradicting beliefs, a very respectable person.
An arrogant woman knows what she wants and takes it... because she feels entitled and deserving of whatever it is she wants. She is the kind of woman who is 'strong and independent' but lives in your place and expects you to pay for dates.
The arrogant ones live or makes use of a double standard, while the strong one does not.
A strong female is never physically strong, since it doesn’t mean crap when compared to a male.
A strong female is one who doesn’t do the childish crap most other women do. She doesn’t shame and attack a guy who disagrees with her.
She is capable of understanding logic and reason without getting her emotions involved.
It has nothing to do with being aggressive or a bitch, Talking shit, or hating men. That is shit weak ass females do to try and sound tough but it just makes them trash.
A strong female is a loving, LOYAL, caring partner and/or mother, who doesn’t fall victim to the hypergamy mindset or the false victim bullshit that most women seem to.
Not believing the “fat is beautiful” crap or needing society to kid glove her or constantly pat her on the back simply for existing.
Strength comes from within. I love to be around ladies that have an I can do this attitude and go on and do it. I do have to take issue with the word arrogant. Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of arrogance. It becomes bad when they start crapping on others. Interesting question though!
I personally think that a strong woman is one that has the ability to overcome obstacles from and in her life and help those around her overcome theirs. An arrogant woman is selfish, although she is strong she is incapable of helping others because her priority is herself.
You can be strong, assertive, and confident without looking down on others, but that doesn’t mean you are always kissing ass and acting like a peach either. Everyone has opinions that are less than sweet, and just because a woman has an opinion that makes someone uncomfortable doesn’t mean they’re arrogant.
They are too entirely different things. Arrogant means dismissive of others. That has nothing to do with being strong. Arrogance comes from insecurity. by the way, it's not arrogant for a woman to be choosy about who she dates. It's perfectly reasonable for a woman who has her life together to only date men who are similarly situated.
It is subjective. But as per the nature of the conversation, I am able to tell just what kind of woman she is.
If she is a strong one or an arrogant one. There are no specific set of questions, but the conversation is almost directed by me, so I am able to tell like that.
Strong women are confident and don’t belittle or disrespect others. Arrogant women are not always confident but act like it and they belittle and disrespect others, especially the ones they are intimidated by or if they feel insecure around someone then they will try to insult them.
For me, a strong woman is compassionate, mentally and spiritually strong, understands what / when to sacrifice, whereas an arrogant woman wants others to believe that she's compassionate, mentally and spiritually strong, understands what / when to sacrifice.
Someone who is genuinely strong doesn’t feel the need to say it especially multiple times.
anyone who has to say that they are isn’t genuinely a strong person.
and an arrogant person is self obsessed and looks down on people beneath them or who don’t fit their standards.
Arrogance :noun
an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions
If she talks down to you, about her self a lot, needs to always be right, never listens its probably she is arrogant.
If she encourages you, Listens to your needs and supports you, Reasons on why something or some way is good or better. Tolerates and ignores the stupid. Does not tolerate or ignore the really stupid. She most likely is strong.
