I can completely relate to the effect we have on men, but reality and many mistakes have taught me that a woman of strong character is often also a woman of strong opinions that she tends to enforce so strongly that she gets upset if people don't agree with her. You have to take a step back and check yourself. Strong character does not mean pushy, bossy, or uncompromising. If you are highly opinionated or strong willed, you can be coming off as bossy or controlling rather than as a strong intelligent woman. It is important for you to see how you appear to others. Listen to what you are saying, ask for feedback from close friends (yes, other women!) and listen...actually hear what they are telling you. Everybody else isn't always wrong! Try behaving softer, keep an opinion to yourself once in a while, or even just let a man do the planning on a date night for once. Enjoy it regardless! Remember the difference between a strong character and pig headedness is merely how others interpret you.

Men are scared of you because you have an intelligent mind of your own. Some men don't like strong women who have a job, has something going for herself, and she is independent. Some men think that if they're with an independent, strong woman, then it will ruin their alter ego and spoil their reputation as being a man. I applaud you about the way you carry yourself and you're happy of who you are as a person. There are plenty of good guys out there- he just hasn't found you yet. Any man who doesn't like a strong woman is stupid. Continue to be yourself and don't change who you are. Continue to stay strong and the right guy will come along.

A lot of men are insecure enough to want to be the 'leader' of all things, including women. When a woman with a strong character shows up, they feel threatened so they get uncomfortable and leave. You don't want a man like this anyway. A good man with a strong character such as yours will come along and it will be a match made in heaven - patience!

I think for most men they like to feel they are in control when with a women. But there is a difference of your meaning of strong character, are you overbearing or are you just self confident? I like women that are self confident with some brains and culture. But not someone overbearing and pushy. This type is usually trying to cover up what they lack in personality. Not someone a guy would enjoy being with. And a mature man would want to be with a women with brains and culture to feel they are on the same level, without the control thing going on either side.

Your character is strong because you have been through a lot of hard knocks. A woman who can stand and be independent scares men because men need to be "needed'. A man must feel that he is needed because the very nature of all men are that they are to give themselves to their love ones.
Let a man feel needed (not in control) but needed and you will have a friend.
Hope that this helps.

I'm glad that you're still proud of yourself. Don't give up hope. Some men are jerks but I am 100% sure you will find a man who's into you. I saw a superbuff woman at Venice Beach one day with a buff man. If SHE can find the right man, I know you can.

First and foremost ALL women are strong - some choose to show it outward and some are introverted.
From personal experience, if a man finds you intimidating it's only because you're out of the league of women he's typically attracted to. It's not a bad thing in my opinion, it just means the right man for you hasn't stepped up to the plate yet. ;-)

Men usually have to be the "alpha male" meaning they like to be in control of everything and a woman with a strong character might intimidate them to the point of scaring them away because they can't handle it. You should be proud of yourself. You just have to wait for a man that isn't a complete bonehead to give you the time of day and who will you respect you for what you've been through and your pride. You'll find him. One day. We all will.

Another personality flaw... except this is a good one. It is quite intimidating for a man when a woman is strong, can provide for herself and take care of herself. Most men are stuck in the mind set that they are suppose to provide for us and keep us safe in this big bad world (in a sense). It is all part of the male psychology which goes right along with the "whistle" question. My advice to you is to stay true to yourself a man that is worthy of a girl like yourself will come along eventually. And until then just have fun whether it is with your girlfriends or a young man who walked up to you and said "excuse me miss you look beautiful today". Good things come to those who are patient!

you go girl, you obviously have oodles of girl power and it intimidates men. But, not all men are beneath the challenge of a self confident girl. Trust me, you don't want the type who run away when they realize they can't dominate you. The right one will come along. I like the commercials for eharmony and match.com If I was single I would try my luck at one of those to find someone who will appreciate your strong qualities, with them right out on the table from square one, you will skip through the guys who are scaredy cats. Good luck
