Are men intimidated by strong women??

April 12 2013

Is a confident, independent, high spirited woman - intimating to men? I've been with my husband for 23 years n he knows me better then anyone n I've always been very independent, but I'm also a very caring, loving n friendly person. But my question is confidence a sexy trait - but also an intimidating trait?

    Yes.A great many men will deny it... and they will follow after my comment I'm sure.... but they are.They wont admit it as ego seeks to protect the reality behind it that questions his own strengths.But a confident man will appreciate a confident and capable woman.DG

    I love everything about a strong woman until she keeps proving me wrong, and then my ego kicks in, where it views her as the sexy confident know-it-all brat that's enjoying doing this to you and I need to take her to the naughty corner for a spank. Then you realise that doesn't work either cause she asks you to smack her ass harder.. I guess that's what you get playing with such a confident fire.- Posted from rhpmobile

    I'll go with the yes. It's very intimidating, however I will say that it's a very good feeling for me, as I love knowing where I stand with her. It breeds honest and open communication, mutual respect and it also enhances the connection in my view. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I have had men complain that I don't 'need them', and as for earning more money, they hate it. We're not doing well for equality if these basic old fashioned ideaoligies still exist. Shame.

    I am a little intimidated by strong women but it comes out in me being a little submissive rather than defensive or hateful, mainly because I'm attracted or respectful to those who know themselves and what they want (without the negative personality qualities,this applies to men and women) I've been lucky to meet a lot of strong women, and my main reason for joining the site was to find people who were comfortable and secure with themselves.

    I think you're absolutely right. We have seen a shift in the job equality, but I think that the biggest problem as DG said, their egos are bigger than they're personas. True equality, in my view is not just the sexes having equal opportunities, but the sexes need an equal attitude to appreciate it. - Posted from rhpmobile

    and I doubt in the future.. There are 2 types of confident women.. One is the lady who is confident within herself and see's herself as a equal, has a nice personality and is great to date.. The other is confident to the point of arrogance and probally has a underlying man hating personality with a point to prove... Naturally my preference is the first lady.. the second more than likely see a man as something to conquer.. who wants that ? not this lil black duckie... Intimidated ? No... Put off by a bad attitude.. Yes.. Just give me a confident lady who doesnt feel the need to compete on all levels for the hell of it and I'll give you a very nice person to be around... There are some very nice confident females I've come across here, and there are some who like to think they are.. I look at them for their entertainment value only.. nothing more...

    Strong, mouthy, opinionated, independent, sexy smartarse. Some men are very intimidated, others not a bit. It takes all types! That said, I have, in the past, found myself biting my tongue and holding myself back on occasion. I know I can be a bit much and I don't want to put people off too much, i know some of it can be a bit abrasive and I try to retain the strength of character without the abrasive edge. I suppose it's called growing up. Ax

Hey Jay, my point is being the 'first' type, I'm still having men intimadated because I earn more than them and can mow my own lawn (bring on the jokes). Why are the old stereotypes still played out, admittedly not so much here in RHP land. You lads are all super awesome. How do I get a Union card?   Nobody likes bad attitude or arrogance, not this little black duckie either.   K xxx

    Is a confident women sexy - depends on what she is confident about, her sexuality, her intelligence, her good looks/body/youth...... Short answer yes, long answer - no. Sexy has to be defined in both longevity and short term gain. Intimidating - Never. Having said that I have seen some men get very intimidated by women who are a lot smarter than them.

    If that strength is genuine and comes from life experience then no. If that strength causes you to put up walls and push people away then yes. Warm, genuine people can be just as sting as outgoing, in your face types.

    About a year ago I was out with my wingman and I asked him why he thought I never got approached by men in bars; he said just looking at me, I came across as 'intimidating'. He said it wasn't an expression I had on my face or anything, but that I gave the impression that I would not give in easily and make someone work for it.So I would say that yes, confident and independent women come across as intimidating for those men who like it easy, who do not want a challenge, who do not want to ever be corrected, who want to have the upper hand in the relationship.

I think yes I do that to men as well but again its not my intent. I used to own a company where we got quotes to do building projects and I had to deal with the tradies and they said I was a ball breaker but it was business, you have to be assertive in business. I don’t think they find me sexy at work   I am a confident woman,because I am happy with who I am.

    Independent strong women aren't intimidating at all. It depends on how they express this to the outside world. Some who would love to be independent and strong, come off as high maintenance man hating fearful constant drama seeking children hiding in adult bodies, again not intimidating but definitely off putting. Unfortunately the latter seems more common as opposed to the truly independent (as opposed to self reliant and many confuse the two) and strong women who don't need to prove it to anyone.

    Had a similar discussion recently with some of the lads... it seemed to be a 50/50 split. Those with big ego's were intimidated and the lesser brutes weren't for some reason. BUT, that being said the intimidated ones found the traits sexy where as the not so intimidated ones not so much. (maybe they were all too drunk... sucks being the designated driver sometimes)   Personally any woman who can go toe to toe with me has my big thumbs up... am not intimidated by an independent, confident, intelligent and powerful woman, I find them very sexy.

    I have seen confident woman and men taken down by one act of rejection, whether it comes from a relationship, a work environment or a group of ones peers. Confidence is not a personality trait, it is a sense of self belief that is enabled and supported by the people around you and reflects highly in your mental well-being. It grows with familiarity and can be abruptly changed within unfamiliar surroundings. Some people mistake confidence for a defensive mechanism often displayed by people who are used to being in control of a situation yet find themselves in new territory and looking to establish themselves. Confidence is given and taken away by the people we involve ourselves with and has a strong tie with respect so if you are going to say confident women or men for that matter intimidate others it is only because they are allowed to do so by that person.

    A woman needs to have confidence in many ways and confident men do find this sexy. Some men are too intimidated to approach you especially when you couple this with a strong physical appearance. I have been told they still find you sexy and intriguing, admire from a distance but are too afraid of rejection to approach a strong and confident woman. However, confidence is definitely not arrogance as that is 'ugly'. We are often straight forward but answer with a 'smile'.Really I believe it means being accepted and respected as an equal, knowing yourself and being completely comfortable with 'you' and your expectations of yourself and others, whilst still naturally friendly and welcoming. If a man is intimidated by that then you are looking for a different type of woman... that's all. However, from some of the answers on here there are plenty of men who are not intimidated at all! Nice...

    Strong, confident, independent women are not intimidating, quite the opposite, I find them to have an aura of sensuality that is easy to identify, the ability to know what they want, when they want it, how they wish to spend their time, they are decisive, opinionated and determined, much to be grateful for when you meet one, and I like an equal partner.

    Yes! I've been accused of being intimidating all my life. Both personally and professionally.   I'm physically imposing at nearly 6 foot tall, i don't play my height down...ever. I'm intelligent and self aware - i know who i am and what i want. I'm incredibly self reliant, independant and capable. I'm confident, warm, caring, generous and loyal.   I've had men say to me.....you don't need me.   It's true, i don't need a man. But how wonderful is it to share yourself and your life with a beautiful strong man who appreciates those strengths. Not because i need to....but because i want him in my life.

    I don't find confident women intimidating. Though for all I know, you're confusing the appearance of confident with the air of "entitled" stuck-up bitchiness.   And furthermore, its not that I find intelligent women intimidating, I'm yet to find one to even make such a statement. Again, there's no mistaking higher intelligence for outright bitchiness and condescenion.   If you find me an intelligent, single woman under the age of thirty, by all means, flick her my number.

Very easy to sit and write a glowing report of oneself when the real test is allowing someone else to decide for themself..Selling oneself is fine, thats the name of the game, but gloating is another.. Its like the guys who tell you they have super sexy attributes like no other.. and this is no different..I say ' let others be the judge, then the real picture will appear..A confident scorned woman is alot different to a naturally sexy confident woman..

Bring it on ;-) Based on some of your recent posts I don't believe you could handle a confident and emotionally strong stable woman. You suffer from Peter Pan and White Knight syndrome. If you aren't acting like a teenager (getting drunk and bed hopping) and sharing the stories around with all and sundry, then you are trying to act the hero and rescue women to no doubt make yourself feel good. Being bigger and apparently smarter does not mean you can handle the type of woman cheekyarses is talking about!There are so many guys on here that I believe could handle a strong independent woman (mischeviouslad, anybodyjustnow, secretpleasures, kizza to name a few) but I don't believe you are one of them.

    So now we have three ladies writing the same things about Funlover. How intriguing! Surely we can break this record? And allow me to say that when I met this man in Sydney he was funny, wicked and a gentleman all the way. Though sure as hell not smarter than me. So there.

    Quoting 'Freya77' I have seen him arm wrestle Amazons....well actually that's a fib,but I just bet he could.... I have been called an Amazon before. And do I consider myself a strong woman? Hell yeah. And I've certainly scared off the odd poor fellow. But that might also have had something to do with my inherited bluntness. It's a national trait, you know. *Skips off on her clogs, singing Sistaaaaaaas, are doing it for themseeeeeelves!*

    agree 100% with DGQuoting 'Mischeviouslad' Quoting 'SuperFox' Some men out there do NOT like a strong independent woman?? Actually they despise and get so angry towards a woman, who is able to stand up for herself.Are we really that intimidating and scary???? Makes me wonder...FOXY It is because you represent precisely what they are not.... you are a challenge to their ego which is trying desperately to shield their insecurities.. and they respond with aggressive and pseudo dominant behaviour.DG

    Quoting 'Mischeviouslad'A TRULY confident person does not require or even contemplate the support of others to reflect their inner confidence.I believe it IS a personality trait, but it is a learned one. I agree with this. Although that is an interesting point. Confidence can be learned but does everyone have to learn it or are some people born with it?

    Quoting 'Cheekyarses' Thankyou for lots of comments! I do find that some men go for the 'needy woman, the woman who is that little bit insecure to make the man feel better'.... I know what you are getting at here. This is also something I think when older men consistently go for much younger women as well, often the assumption is that they can't handle a woman their own age or that they are a little immature but this is probably a little unfair though, because you know what, at the end of the day everyone is different and we all look for different things. There are women out there who are needy and they need a strong man. It's something that works for them and that's great. Good! Because I could never be with anyone needy myself. I do consider myself to be a fairly confident person in real life but I have to say I LURVE playing the submissive girl with a strong man. Meh what can I say I am a disgrace to womanhood!

    For many many years I was not open to meeting any men and I know that I probably projected this and I was never approached when I was out. Now I think I project a more friendly persona and I do get approached by people. My face is probably open and I catch people's eyes. Besides at 5 foot (almost) I am hardly going to intimidate anyone. Also women tend to go out in a group so the whole group is what may intimidate some men from approaching and asking someone for a dance or to offer them a drink. In my humble opinion.

Going back to the comment made by Jelly2352 earlier........environment and experiences will always have an impact upon psychological and personality composition. DG

    Are intimidated by strong women and then use whatever means possible to make themselves feel better. I read what many of you have written and wish i was able to quote bit alas i can not on my phone. A strong confident man does not need a group of women to come to his defence to account for his behaviour. a real man acts in a manner that can not be called into question. Only someone that is seen as being weak of mind or soul needs others to come to his defence. Perhaps that is food for thought on the behaviour of a strong independent individual.

    I still cant believe so many woman still think of themselves as a foe to beware of .? If you are truly confident ' why the need to tell all and sundry on a forum. ? I would of thought a confident woman goes about her business in her own self assured way.. without seeking approval from others ?I also notice some feel the need to repeat their message over and over, ? so is this to convince others' or is it themselves that still need convincing. ? These same ( confident ) women applaud each other or whoever it is that agree's with them.. I guess thats natural, but I still think a truly confident woman does'nt need support from others .. They dont talk, they just do it.... Jay

    Everyone needs support and most women have friendships with other women where we constantly support each other. Men may be different when it comes to this.

    I think men ARE different when it comes these things. As they say, Men are from Mars and women from Venus... As a man, I prefer my lady to be confident as in sexy confident, not aggressive confident.. I never feel threatened or intimidated , just put off by attitude.. I think Paradisepair got it right (above post ) when they said QUOTE... Women are more intimidated with strong women than men... Have to agree with that...
