  I don’t think so. Personally I find Independent women more appealing certainly not the be all and end all but it is something I find appealing. High Spirited well that is never intimidating it an attraction to their personality certainly nothing to be intimidated by . And as for confident well again what would be intimidating about a women being confident …not much I would think So in summery No I wouldn’t and I don’t think many men, guys, blokes would find any of those traits intimidating

  In my earlier posts I said that men stated I didn't 'need' them and I could mow my own lawn. I'm not arrogant or rude, but I certainly hold my own. I don't find this affects a one night stand or a NSA. BUT! A relationship....... well, that's when I see the giants fall.

  Hi! Hun Thanks for your Topic:) From My experience being a Strong Independent Female I find that the Guys who are Intimidated by me are usually Insecure about themselves.. I tend to attract several types.. 1.The immature Guy no matter what age who's seeking a Nurturer Um I'll support them to grow and show them how but I'm not an enabler I'm not their Mother.. 2.The Guy seeking a Challenge to add to his collection Um not going to happen.. The submissive who requires a D/S experience in his sexual Life mainly because no way would it go beyond that for me.. 3.The Guys who are Secure in who They are ..What they Want.. and that's to share themselves on every Level with Me .Both remaining Independent Individuals who choose to become Friends/Lovers enhancing our Lives by sharing Experiences and Sexual Encounters.. My Favorites mmmmmmmm YUM! Bring it On! I say ha! ha! Enjoy Lu :)

  Strong women are a definite turn on!   Stroppy all-attitude-no brains-drama queens who think they are strong and intelligent but really opinionated ignoramus'? Myeh, not so much..   I guess good strong women - like strong men, don't need to be loud and aggressive but exert a quiet strength. Truly strong women are not always that obvious in a crowd. It's the time taken to chat and realise there is a strong feminine person there, and also a lot to do with the way they carry themselves and use their eyes and more subtle strengths that define strong woman for me. Yum!   As for physical strength? I'm not attracted to gym-junkies generally but had a moment recently when I bumped into a woman who obviously goes for body building. Slightly taller than I, bigger shoulders and sculpted but still soft-ish. Legs that I couldn't help but think might crush me and overall a physically imposing being. Yet, still very feminine, sexy and very attractive. Found myself all ga-ga and extremely turned on. New for me.

  I'm married to one, and I have always promulgated feminist views to my daughters.

  I love independent women, I can relax in their company knowing they see me for who I am and are comfortable with me, I don't have to stroke their egos and vice versa it simply means you can get on with the real stuff of life rather than pandering to the small stuff.But all is not equal, as mentioned by other posters, some women use their strength to intimidate and bully, just like men do and are equally as unattractive.Not intimidated, just repulsed.

  A confident, independent, high spirited woman is just fine (I married one too!) However, with some people there is a fine line between a strong person and a domineering one. I have a mate with a g/f who is just domineering- she slags him off publicly, tells us he's not the greatest sex she's ever had to (with him there too!) and it makes me fully sad. Heck, a bit of domination in the bedroom once in a while can be loads of fun but no- one likes seeing one party in a couple be steamrolled.

  Absolutley not! I cant find anything intimidating with strong women! I think it so sexy when women know what they want. Like when a neighbour knocked on my door and said, hey Steve, my daughter is out for two hours, do you want to have sex? I looked at her and said, okey, I come over. Two hours later she could hardly stand up, we loved every second of it!   But theres another side to so called strong women. That's when they think they are strong, and its only in the demand department. The women who think they are strong when they write demands in these forums outlining every fucking detail of what they want in a man. Hight, eye colour, income, if the man earns more than them. That is not a strong woman.   A strong woman is someone who knows who she is, someone who whatever income knows her own worth as a human being. Who can look a man in the eyes and feel like he has something to give her, and then goes for it. And that is what its all about. To look into someones eyes and just feel happy. And just go for it.   To think that strong women are doctors or whatever, that is just stupid.

  The new National Manager was told I had a very strong personality by those few men. The intimation behind his tone (and the fact the conversation was on speaker phone!!) was that I was a loon. I often wondered what/why I was "judged" this way. Very good at my job, the workforce respected and went above and beyond for me, I was thorough snd my work ethic, dedication to the team and service delivery objectives was damn near perfection. And I was exhuberantly happy (note to self: "Self. No-one in high ranking organisational management likes to see excessive joy at work from ANYONE!! Get that in ya thick head!!). On that note to quote other wise people here "Tact is for people who aren't witty or smart enough to be sarcastic.". Lol Yes I'm often told I'm intimidating, confident and strong. If I wasn't I'd still be huddled in a corner wondering WTF and those bastards would've one. I won't rver let anyone make me feel less than I am, having said that I don't think I'm better than anyone else out there either. Funlover, (come hither look) I luuuuurve tall, intelligent men.....who can pit wits with me. I also find the words "that's nice" with a cheeky smile and a sparkle in my eye a tactful way to get what I want. Let's play baby! A strong woman never ever holds herself above anyone else, though at times it appears she is. Although she never aplogizes she is apathetic. She remains firm in thought and mind. She does what she does and is meant to do; whether others approve or not; during which time her head is always held high. When she disagrees she never rants, but states her case; knowing before hand some will accept others won't; feeling at peace that she has done so. She never ever compares herself to others; that's not important; she already knows she's a part of the world because she is alive. She works with life's difficulties with a clear and focussed mind and when the chips are down she picks them up one by one; being wise to weep when needed, laugh when needed and become angry when needed; in other words she accepts all those things and never denies them. She is the first and foremost to blame herself for her difficulties; with the knowledge that she, too, was a contributor; no matter how the dice are tossed. To all the people out there with "very strong personalities" embrace it, work it and enjoy it. I am. xx

  I am a very strong woman..people tell me this and sometimes I go yep, I am. Other times I can be the little shy girl of my youth. I think men like me irrelevant of my strength. Men like me because I am a happy person (most of the time) have a good sense of fun, style and enjoy a good laugh and am very outgoing and will try different things. Some men like a woman that isn't strong, so that he can have one over her and tell her what to do or how to live. I used to allow a man in my life to be like this with me....not anymore. I'm me, take me or leave it.
