they do?

I think independant females are great. They aren't clingy and they have their own minds. It's good being able to bounce off ideas in a relationship rather than just have someone who just follows meekly all the time.

Then again, I'm entitled to my own opinions.

A lot of men are controlling and you can't control an independent woman! Even though the world is suppose to be liberated today men still seem to feel very intimidated by an independent female. It takes a special fellow to appreciate a woman that has enough self-confidence to be independent.

Men don't have confidence when it comes to woman. Especially the ones who act like they have all the confidence in the world. If the man is with a beautiful woman or one he truly loves then he has to know he has got something they need from them in order to keep them. Men don't think the way they are to us woman is enough to keep us. They are very insecure and think if someone else comes along, better looking with the same personality and more money we are going to run off?! Guys have to feel they are needed to feel safe in a relationship. I am a very strong independent woman so i know from experience that guys feel really intimidated if you can do it all yourself. I had to let go a little in the relationship and allow him to have some responsibility i.e putting up shelves, jobs around the house etc. It didn't matter that when he was not around i had to go and redo the job properly, it made him feel like a man and that i needed him and he was secure in the relationship again. And they say us woman are crazy???!

Obviously, the statement in your question isn't true in all cases. This is not intentionally meant to be a sexist answer but, personally, I think its a great qaulity in a female, however if you go back to instincts, you will find your answer. It is a mans natural instinct to be the provider for his family, and the females natural instinct to be the carer/mother. So as far as instincts go, it isn't natural for either sex to be completely independent. From a personal point of view, my preference would be an independent woman who still relies upon me to an extent. This isn't for my own power trip, it just makes me feel wanted and gives me plenty of opportunities to show I care, just as I would rely upon her, after all, a man can't hug himself after a bad day! I believe that should either sex chose to be completely independent within a relationship then they are missing out on some of the best moments and will never be as close as they could be. Sadly some people use independance as a false front to mask their fear of relying upon someone, falling in love and getting hurt! Unfortunently, their are plenty of males out their who steer clear of independent females as they like to be completely in control, usually to fuel their own ego. So, my conclusion is if you find the right guy, with a certain level of maturity and decency, independents will never be an issue, as you will complement each other as you are. I hope this helps.

Because a guy wants to be wanted by the person with whom he's having a relationship. If you start out at the beginning by stating you are "independent", why are you even looking for a man? Stay on your own if that's what you want.

"Independent" is another way of saying...."I wouldn't mind having someone around when I want them, but I don't want to be bothered with them enough to give anything back."

sometimes it may seem that they fear us but maybe being independent will block our ability to see that they are flirting with us in a strange "dependent" sort of way. Remember if you aren't interested then you probably aren't going to see anyone hitting on you, you are going to look for a man of the same Independence level of you own. If you look around I am sure you get hit on more then you think. This is something I learned when I had the same question of myself

Because men are threatened by independent women. They think that they at risk of losing their confidence and their identtities they need to grow up and learn to appreciate a strong woman.And by the way not all guys fear independent women.Some actually have the balls ( or lake there of ) to take advantage of a girls independence. They use them to fight their battles and support their lazy worthless butts.

Wow.....not all men are like that ladies. See that's why most of the male population don't like "independent females". You just don't shut the hell up about men. Personally I don't depend or want control over a women and I'm not insecure about myself. When girls try to act all tough and like "I don't need anybody to help me out" that is very unattractive. Everyone needs help even men yet you "independent women" don't need it? Biggest load of bull........oh and personally a woman who can take care of herself is OK with me, it's a more attractive quality than always relying on others for help.....

My advice to you is to ask someone who isn't as immature as you are. Why would anyone fear any person who is independent. And what do you see as independent. If girls don't like being pushed around any more, what make you think guys like it either.I noticed on this site many girls have very little respect for guys. HE DOES,NT LIKE ME BECAUSE I AM TO INDEPENDENT... I'M TOO GOOD LOOKING... I.M TOO SMART. Guys have no monopoly on arrogrance. Maybe guys don't like girls for the same reasons girls like guys. Show some respect for people and maybe you might find someone.

Men are the hunters and women are the hunted.
It takes a very mentally secure male to be able to be happy with an independent woman, or other way around - a very needy one that needs a mother.
Some religions promote male power as well, like Muslims.
I think it is the ego thing mostly.
