Indie Chicks ( Archived) (38)

Excellent, Frank!

Very good questions. An independent woman can seem overwhelming to some men. A woman might appear too independent if she's always going out with her friends all the time, or working long hours, leaving no time to get to know her. A woman who's on the go all the time wouldn't be attractive to me at all. I would wonder if she would ever have time for us as a couple. Yes, a woman should have her own interests, just like her partner should. They don't need to spend all their time together. A woman who is highly independent can easily give off the impression that she needs no one, which some men might find a turnoff. Indeed, plenty of women on CS have made it very clear that they don't need a man at all, yet CS ladies say they can't find anyone so they give up and just enjoy the features on here. There needs to be a balance between independence vs. being needed. I'm very much a giver, but an independent woman might not appreciate a giver personality.

I remember a romantic comedy, where the woman was about to leave on a bus. No words the man said made any difference until he said, "I need you, Gwen", then she fell into his arms.

I've seen several references to "Indie women" lately, and I have a feeling that I don't what term means. When I first heard the term, I thought it was some reference to auto racing. Now, I'm not so sure.
