He Said/She Said: Independent Woman
April 29, 2009 Posted in Advice, Relationships
We are all about independent women around here, but after one writer asked if independence could be hindering her relationship status, we began to wonder. We know that men have very fragile egos that can be shattered faster than a shot glass in a garbage disposal (those suckers fit perfectly in there!) so it seems to make sense that strong, independent women scare the bejeezus out of them.
Could guys be shying away from us out of fear that we don’t need them?
In order to ease my mind, I thought I would get some answers directly from the source. The good news is: independence isn’t a total turn-off. The bad news: we’re going to have to come up with some better reasons why guys aren’t returning our phone calls.

"I think, while in a relationship, I think it's important for women to do stuff to help their man feel manly, same as guys should do what they can to make their girls feel girly- or at least not to interfere with the other from feeling those things"
holy fuckin goddam just look at this string of turds in the shape of words, holy fuck man this aint the 1950s, if some man feels "intimidated" by what they think of as "independent woman" (assuming they mean it negatively), it's their own damn fault, and they should get over themselves.
