Generally women in her twenties drove off less attractive, less income men by saying they are independent , they don't need anyone (except Chad). A women in her thirties and decling looks wants to to attract good quality husband type guys by showing they are independent and deserve good men with good career prospects.
True, it's never said but too often independent women act like they don't need a man. So most men turn elsewhere.
Angry rhetoric from those who DON'T want (or, perhaps more commonly, don't want to be SEEN as wanting) a man, mostly.
Perfect place to ask with a bunch of insecure morons on GAG to rant. 🙄
The reality once you become an adult you have to be independent.
Man or woman, you're aren't a child anymore.
I don't think that way. But yeah most men interpret dependence on them as love. Also, if men don't feel that a woman is dependent on them, then they will feel insecure that the woman will leave.
Some men may think that, but I think that most men like an independent woman who can take care of herself, so the men doesn't always have to.
Mostly because of feminist extremists that say things like " woman need a man like a fish needs a bicycle." Statements like that often mean that if a woman is independent if can be assumed she doesn't want a man.
This question is really amazing. I really resonated with some of the answers.
My opinion on this topic is too under developed to really speak on it.
Because it's true sorta? I don't need a man nor want one and many other ladies I've talked to
If she is independent, she doesn't NEED a men. That's kinda a crucial part of being independent. But yeah, it has nothing to do with whether she WANTS a man or not.

Because in most cases when women are single it’s cause they’ve been through some bullshit and so have this shield up. Like a defense mechanism
Nope.
Would rather have one more independent.
Needy ones are annoying.
She usually makes it apparent. Or it becomes a case where she's just using said man to fulfill her other needs. Like reaching tall stuff and carrying heavy furniture!
Men think that because independent women ( regular adult) don’t shut up about not needing a man which just goes to show how little women of today value men
Relationships don’t function at their best based on need. I’m sure plenty of independent women want to be in a relationship.
I always sought out independent women, less I have to take care of.
I know many women who are independent. What about loneliness? My wife couldn't make it on her own. She can't earn enough or handle no one to bitch at.
Many disagree with the false fact that if a woman has everything she needs, she wants nothing more.
