Do Strong Men Like Strong Women?

First, I don't consider myself as a strong man. I am career focused, but put my family and loves before everything else which tends to make others see me as a weak person.

I actually prefer and respect women who are career focused. I think that women have just has much right and ability to succeed in a career and everything else that a man does. I rather be with a so-called strong woman. A woman ( and a person )like that seems to be not only more together about their lives, but also more easier to work together with in all aspects of life, including a personal relationship and raising a family. It does not face me if she is more successful or makes more many than me. It's how she is when it comes to caring and working together that matters more to me. If she does better than me it's only because she worked harder than me and deserves it. So, if she is a strong woman, it's a plus in the attraction to her. Just my personal thoughts.

psh. I am an Alpha female. I require an Alpha male. I didn't get that, unfortunately, but it is what it is. I use these terms because it's found all through out nature, wolves in particular. The Alpha female is the 'head bitch' if you will forgive the term. She submits only to her mate, the Alpha male. And that only changes when another male drives the current Alpha out. It's the law of nature. The female goes with the strongest male, the one most capable of leading the pack to survival and continuation of the species.

 I still know me well enough to know it takes a man supremely confident in his abilities as a man and mate to be my equal and dominant partner. I submit to no one but my mate, and that is intimidating to a lot of guys.

Women have been traditionally referred to as the 'weaker sex.' Please, give me a break. God gave women tears because that's often the only way we can relieve our stress from having the world on our shoulders. For all the man may want to be the provider, it is the women who decide what to do with that providence.

I wish I had an easy answer for you. But have faith that somewhere out there will be a man who is your equal and worthy to be your Alpha Male.

Best of luck,

I love strong women.  It makes my life easier when I know that my spouse and I are a real team working to success.  What I can't handle is the opposite. 

I also get this from alot of men.  They say, "If a woman can do everything and does everything, what does she need me for?"  I wonder when we're going to come to the point in relationships where we realize that it's okay not to NEED each other.  We desire each other but we don't have to need each other, two very different concepts.

I go with mtnvly on this one. My ex encouraged me to do whatever I wanted as long as it fit his schedule. The more I could do the less he had to do. I have been called bossy because I say please or could it be done another way. I guess I should just accept what people say on blind faith.

But I live in the South with the Southern attitude that men are  supreme in their home. They would never  admit that their wives run the show behind the scene. I refuse to act helpless just so some man can feel strong.

I am what I am. Take it or leave it.

I find that men are typically very intimidated by me due to this fact. I am a type A personality. I have always taken care of everything . I don't need a man to take care of me but only to love and support me..and be my best friend.
My ex was VERY intimidated..someone called him mr. xxxx one time ( used my last name) and he couldn't handle it.
Men like to make more money , be the breadwinners and be in charge.
I have had one bf that was not intimidated at all.I would say he was the most secure in himself. We are in the same line of work and make about the same amount of money.
I actually had a friend one time tell me if I weren't so independant and able to do everything that I might have a bf. ( This was right after the bf above and I broke up). My reply was "If I have to change who I am or do things differently to make a man more secure so he will "date" me then I will do with out. I am what I am because the men in my life have not done what they are supposed to , and that is that."
Am I willing to let a man open doors and carry bags? YES! Am I willing to let him help me around the house? YES!
But to ask me to act helpless ..HECK NO!

If someone is really so strong, they wouldn't be intimidated by a strong person either.  Thats just my thought.  My stbx doesn't like me because I have my own mind.  Makes him insecure.  Therefore, who is strong in that regard?
