Why are so many men intimidated by a woman who . . .?

Question

is educated, independent, hard working, and likes to get naked and have fun with scrabble, camping, and horseplay? Is that too much of a possibility for a guy to lose control? insightful answers greatly apreciated, thanks big hugs

Answer 1

I think men are intimidated by a strong woman because she's very for sure of herself and independent. You can't pull the shades over a strong woman's eyes. Some men like to be in control of a relationship, it makes them feel superior. To me, if a woman is solely dependent on a man, he will mold her into being something that he wants her to be and her self esteem, would be extremely low.

Answer 2

Your first sentence says a lot. If a man is looking for just a frick buddy, then I don't think you'd be that intimidating. If he's looking for a relationship, then your self description says "It's all about Me". OK, so what do you offer? I'm a little older (OK a lot older) and I've heard women talk themselves up and think that a man is just so lucky to have a woman like their self. They miss the boat that a relationship is between the two of them and when they have no time for anyone but themselves, they offer nothing. I think with my other head now and look for women that are mature enough to give and receive. Those women are truly intelligent...not just book regurgitaters.
Now if you are just looking for spontaneity. It's hard being a man these days. The only difference between sexual harassment and a pick-up line is if the girl likes you or not. If you are coming on way strong, a guy might just be thinking "what's up?" and shy away. You wonder about a guy losing control, but are you acting this way to gain control? Your first line says "Yes". My question to you is "Are you strong enough to be equal"?

Some men just have to be better than their woman in every way. It shows they are a man! The secret they don't accept: They know the women are better! Ha Ha!

No, really.... Some men have this thing about women being better than them. It just, can not be possible. They have to be the ones to fix everything that is broken, put things together (because they think they can do it RIGHT), they accept no help or advice, and they have to show others they are the man. The man can do anything and everything.

Women just have to be smart about it. Rub your husband/boyfriend on the back, don't give him advice, and tell him he is perfect at everything. If you know he is doing something wrong, well, don't say, "I TOLD YOU SO!" No matter how much you want to do it!

I will admit that sometimes, just to make my husband feel good, I act like I don't know how to do something and I let him show me. Which it is really funny because he gets so happy about it. Don't tell him I told you! Ha Ha.

Us women know the truth though......................... We are not as helpless as we seem.

Answer 4

I am educated and enjoy a good time. I find a lot of American women think being abrasive and mean to their men is a way to show the world how independent they are. It is usually an excuse to be bitchy, they wonder why their husbands and boyfriends leave/cheat on them.

When I met my husband he was married to a woman who looked like a super model. I am Vietnamese, I have black hair, brown eyes, am 4 "10" and not a supermodel at all. This woman treated him so poorly I was able to steal a successful businessman away from her. Eight years later he is still my slave and she is not around. The lesson of this story is try being nice to your men, Asian women know this, which is why men like us better. I am not trying to be mean but it is true.

Answer 5

i'm 5'3", and that i admire tall ladies, i'm greater intimidated by making use of shorter ladies, i may well be rather intimidated by making use of a female with fairly sturdy grades, yet i does not ask her, so as that ought to take awhile to be certain. I agree, Tall ladies want lovin' too, there's a stereotype that ladies don't desire a guy shorter than them, yet because of the fact that i admire taller ladies, i attempt to bear in techniques that no longer all ladies are an identical, and a few ladies do no longer care in the event that they are the taller one, i admire taller ladies.

Answer 6

I wouldnt know. Ive never had the good fortune to meet a girl like that. And YES, an educated, independent girl IS a turn on. We arent living in the middle ages are we?

Answer 7

Just personal experience, but many would not be intimidated, but also not interested either.
Educated, hardworking, who doesn't want that.
Independent- Interdependent is more deisred.
The rest sounds like so much undisciplined teenage kid stuff. It does not have the makings of something mature and committed. That is the basis of what a lot of American guys want today, and cannot find. (you wouldn't think it because the jerks stand out so much).

Answer 8

You haven't met the right man, or you are somehow attracted to men who are inferior than you. Don't worry and don't settle. You deserve the best and will find it, it will just take time because you are a high quality woman seeking the same. Never settle. Good luck.

Answer 9

this is an issue as old as time... men do not really like agresive women..... some do, most dont , i should say.... they feel threatened by a woman that shows they do not need a man to do the hard work and take care of them..... it is a built in dna thing I think..... not a joke, I really do think that..... think about it.... men have since the beginning of time been the protectors of us, it has only been the last 100 years or so that women have begun to take charge of their own lives..... God bless

Answer 10
