I want a strong woman. Don't get me wrong I love lifting heavy things and setting them back down. And there are times I love the submissive woman. I guess it's more about she wants to be with you; than has to be that is the turn on for me!
sweetp44: i've been told that being a strong woman is not what men are looking for, that a woman shoud be more like a damsel in distress...
Well, I wouldn't be attracted to a physically strong woman If you're talking about a woman who can bench press three times her own weight and can out arm wrestle everyone she meets. That's not to say, though, she wouldn't be attractive to anyone else.
Now if your talking stable and emotionally and mentally strong, yep, that's very attractive for me.
just veiwed the breakdown of the poll & it seems that both men & woman find it a turn off for a woman to be strong, looks as if im going to be single for a while, as im not going to be a damsel in distress just to be excepted by any man,i will just have to wait for a man you likes a woman who is independant:-)

I think the boys are more confused than scared. I'm not sure whether I should answer that yes it is a turn off or a turn on for a woman to be strong or no it is a turn off or a turn on for a woman to be strong.

Nothing wrong with being strong as long as you don't completely conceal your feelings to appear strong before others. I have encountered women also who were like "I am woman hear me roar" speaking their mind when maybe it wasn't appropriate at the time, and when you respond back with your opinion they got all mad and emotional.

Hmmmm, if you haven't already, maybe you might want to pick up a copy of "manning-up", written by A.J. Jacobs..... She explains how the rise of women has turned men into boys and that, interesting enough, that the age group of men you say you are interested in are basically slackers, needy and still living at home (or want to be there) tied to mom's apron strings.
No, it's not a turn off at all, so long as she's genuinely a strong and independent woman, not just out to prove something, like that she doesn't need or want someone in her life.
i just get on with life, if life sucks i do whats needed to make it better, if life if great i totally enjoy it, i make the most of what life gives me, im told im strong yet most of the time i don't feel that way, i understand that some women need to show they're strong when inside they're hoping that no one will notice but i beleive that won't get whats needed to be done, done, i enjoy making discisions making head way having control of my life but that doesn't mean i want to control everything as that is impossible, i certainly don't want to be boss, just get what is needed,done

I don't think men like pathetic, weak women anymore, who can't make a decision without consulting them and who don't have an opinion of their own. But I think they only like women to be strong to a certain point, otherwise they lose their role as protector. But I think this is a good thing - why should one person in the relationship shoulder all the burdens and responsibilities. I am extremely independent, but I have found someone who loves and respects me because of that and he manages to look after me without me feeling like the "little woman". Stay positive - your ideal man is out there, it might just take some time to find him

Can you say contradiction? In its entirety, this post of yours does not add up.

Yes, the question is confusing,, I like mentally and emotionally strong women,,, I'm not threatened by them,,,
As being one of those single guys!,I'am looking for a woman, that is warm, loving, caring, passionate, soft!, kind that would love too hug and hold a teddy bear kind of guy, there are times where you need to be strong you should have a balance of strong and soft!
I have seen way too many strong women go i'll tough it out alone mentality because they were hurt by their boyfriend, husband etc! and then after whatever was troubling them they finally got over it and blew off many good decent guys and ended up lonely still many years later!, the point is to be both a sweetheart and strong when it is necessary!

Sweetp.....this is true for the majority of men these days...
However you should not accept a man that needs to be with a weak woman...
Why you ask.....because that man is weak..he isnt fit for survival....if these weak men were taken back to when cave men existed ...they would all die...
Weak men are useless....they live in fear...no woman needs a weak man...
Stay strong sweet.....you will find your man....not some panzie

In my case ( as with a lot of women) I've brought up 3 children on my own, having to be Soul provider, mother and father, and having to make All the decisions myself has made me Emotionally VERY strong, so for me to suddenly 'depend' on any man would be very difficult indeed... I would be with someone because I WANTED to not because I HAVE to. However this has not made me any less feminine and hasn't made me lose any of my "Real Woman" values like being soft and Nurturing :)

And you know what’s TRUE for the majority of men? Quite a statement Dr. Mollycoddle.

They always say in their profiles they are looking for someone self supporting with no drama. Ironically, men are the cause of most of their own drama.

Yes, yes, yes, we create it. We ferment it. We crave it. We men alone capitalize on it. We love it. We are obsessed with drama.....
