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!

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:-)

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. confused

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.nerd

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

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!

hope this helps you out a bit!

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 :)

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.....peace

If I am a man, I would see a strong woman (not physically with the enourmous big muscles) to be attractive. It means she is confident and independent.
