Groups > The Challenges of Being Single!

Yes I do, I think that some men are very afraid of a woman who can take care of some things without a man's big strong hands, personality I need men to make me compelet thats why we are all here, some men tend to shy away from a independent woman.

I have been told by more than one man, and a few women, that I am intimidating. They say it's because I am tall, athletic, articulate and like a good debate now and then. I've tried to soften up, listen more, and not challenge people when I don't agree with their opinions, but it's hard sometimes. I love a great mind-stretching conversation!

I've known men who like these things about me, and some who don't. If they don't, it's okay. I can' wait to find one who will, though. But I can't stop being me...

I'm not going to blow any smoke, I discovered a long time ago that being beautiful, has a price to pay even for most strong and independent women. But what I liked is becoming friends first and the really nice guys who think they are out of their league discovers that we are just people, who happen to look better than average, After I discovered that I didn't stay home much on date night, which can be almost any time. Give it a try. This old broad can say it... You are Hot!

Cassy, don't take this as I'm talking to you, I'm not. But I find that men, real men, will shy away from needy and clingy woman of any age. Now, if they are rescuers types, they will flock to those women like flies to honey, or poop.

I think a woman can be independent and strong but still being feminine. I think men are turned off by women who are proud and arrogant. I still ask for help from men for things I need help. Most men are happy to be helpful.

I think I'm the rescuer type. My heart just goes out to a woman who is in need or helpless etc. Cassy, you are my kind of woman!

Lil Stinker I didnt take that comment the wrong way, But let me explain a little be more about what I was trying to say, the other day I was in home depot. I was searching around for a paint sprayer, I'm going to paint my garage now as I was walking to ale 8 were the sprayers are about 5 men came out of nowhere may I help you what do you need and these men didnt even work in the store, Now I explain to them that I can read and I know what I want to buy and they seem to get an attuade at me for being so Indenpendt about what I wanted to buy and I didnt need their assistant, all over something so simple as paint omg now come on give me a break so my question to you all is it really men that need to be rescue from their emotions?
