Intellectually independent. Able to think for herself, pursue her own interests on her own terms.
Emotional secure and confident. Able to make decisions on her own terms, have her own friends independently of me and respect that I will do the same.
Economically capable of independence. I don't care how much she earns or what she has or whether she chooses to work, but I would reject a woman who approached me on terms of needing to depend on me. I am happy to share and don't mind imbalances especially over time, but I do not want a dependent.
Sexually independent. I want a woman who chooses to be with me for positive reasons rather than because of any stated or promised commitments. Agree on the terms of the relationship and renegotiate them openly and honestly. Including taking other lovers or not doing so.
Thats a basic minimum for me.

Well, not real sure. I like doing things for the woman I love and get enjoyment, happiness, and a sense of usefulness when I can do things for her like, take her car and get the oil changed, or fix the toilet, or cut her grass, put in a new light bulb. While I don't what to feel like she is incapable of doing anything I enjoy kind of being the man who takes care of her and keeps her safe. I know that's kinda an old fashioned way to look at things but it makes me feel good. Kinda like the whole knight in shinning armor thing, you know? I want her to be able to do most things but at the same time I enjoy being the one she comes to when she has a bad day at work, or has just had a bad day and I can give her a back rub or foot rub, and hold her and make her feel better. I kinda want to be the guy that will make her problems disappear. So while I would like for her to work if she would like and do things I do not want her to think or feel she has to in order for us to get by. I enjoy taking care of the woman I love and being the one she comes to when her world is going crazy. I really can't explain it very well, I'm sorry. Yet I also don't want her to be so dependant on me that she can not do anything. I guess what I mean is she should be able to do anything, but will ask me to do things for her. She should want to talk to me and get my advice on things and know that I will do what ever I can do for her if and when there is something she can not handle.

If she isn't doing things to undermine the relationship, then there's no limits. In truth she is free even to do that, but then there would be no point in carrying on with it.
I can discern the difference between: Women, children and pets.

I dont care as long as she does not want commitment. Indipendence and commitment are mutually exclusive, men who marry "indipendent strong women" are in for a rude awaking.

in my idea woman should be independent always.BUT should know her limites and never cross them.because once she slip she will never have the chance to owner her self.same thing can happen to men also.limits are compulsory to every one.independents means not to un-cover ourselves.but it means keep your self in boundaries of respect in civilized way.thanks.

My woman can do what the hell she likes as long as she is happy, that is the important thing. If she is happy then I'm sure I will be happy ;-)

independent enough to know what to cook for us for dinner so long as she remembers it has to have red meat, potatoes, greens and a beer.

Completely. That way you don't have to marry her. You have your place and she has hers.
