Reasons Most Men Can’t Handle A Strong Woman
Page Contents
What makes a strong woman tick?
From Kamala Harris, Maya Angelou, Angelique kidjo, Wangari Maathai to Michelle Obama strong women run the world.
So what makes them tick? A lot not to mention, her struggles, sacrifices, and selflessness play a huge part. A strong woman has endured pain, overcome heart-wrenching experiences, and has allowed herself to be led by forgiveness.
A strong woman has swum in deep and treacherous waters and held her breath as long as possible. This type of woman is self-sufficient, independent, loving, and has no fears of showing her vulnerability.
Strong women are totally irresistible and make men go gaga so why do most men can’t handle a strong woman? Here are just but a few reasons.
A strong woman doesn’t need a man to fight for her.
Most men need to feel wanted in order to feel like a man. Men have egos and therefore feel lost when a woman is self assured and independent. A strong woman will show you that she loves you, but she’s also independent and can manage on her own. The strong woman is willing to fight for both of you, but she doesn’t need a man to fight her battles for her. If she has a problem, she deals with it.
She will never need you when she is upset
A man only needs to feel like he can be depended on and is useful. He doesn’t actually need to needed. A man who needs to feel needed might be slightly insecure. It is true that he will be frustrated by his inability to help, but that’s because you’re suffering and he can see it. But if you genuinely don’t need his help, that is like a dream come true for men! If there is one thing that men cannot stand with women, it is how women want a man to be there for them….but then not do anything. Just listen. Guys by nature tend to not get this because they either want to solve a problem or ignore it. Simply sitting with it and talking about it seems pointless to them. But women seem less able to ignore problems, so they talk about it. So if your solution to being upset is: “okay, man, go have a beer with the guys because I don’t need you to work through this”, he will LOVE you!
Let’s look at the rest of the article’s claims on why men can’t “handle” strong women, shall we?
A strong woman knows what she wants
Strong women know what they want, how to attain it, and remember all that they had to endure to get whatever they have. A woman like this knows what she wants. If she likes a man, she will go after him.
She will not wait for the man to make the first move. Strong women have tenacious personalities that can be extremely intimidating for some men. They aren’t submissive. They love wholeheartedly and also can continue exploring the world with a man or not. It takes a self-confident man to allow this type of personality to take charge.
Honesty is what she requires at all times
You’re joking, right? First, if that is true, there are fewer strong women than I thought, because most women I have asked have all expressed that there are times when they would prefer you lie. But regardless, this isn’t an issue for men. Men tend to be very direct, honest, and blunt (which gets them into trouble sometimes), and also aren’t usually the best liars anyway.
She is a lie detector
A strong woman has the ability to act as a human lie detector. Being in a relationship with a strong woman requires no holding back. She will never tolerate a sense of falseness and selfishness. If you can’t be with her completely, she will have no problem moving on.
Strong women are honest and expect complete trust in a relationship. They can sense lies in an instant, so don’t try to sugarcoat a white lie. Don’t give the strong woman in your life any bogus explanations.
She is straight forward
Not all strong women are super straight forward, but many are. And yes, it is often difficult for many men to adjust. They have been trained their whole lives, by women, that women are not straight forward. They expect that women are too diplomatic to be clear and blunt, and thus when a woman actually is straight forward, some men will think she’s just being rude (or is trying to hard too be one of the guys). Some women think all men are rude for the same reason. However, this rarely lasts. Only really old fashioned men have a problem with women being like this. Once they get to know you, most men will only like you more for being straight forward. Again: men mostly like strong women. They just don’t always expect them.
A Strong Woman Will Show You Who You Are
A strong woman will speak up about those parts in her man that need addressing, and some men cannot handle being told to fix those parts of themselves. Although she can point things out, a strong woman is also willing to help her man be as powerful as they are. She will stand by their side and show pure acceptance and confidence. Strong women will find strong men because weak men don’t know how to handle the honesty, strength, intelligence, and independence of strong women.
A strong woman will not wait for you.
This type of woman will follow you to the depths of hell if she knows you are committed to her. However, the moment you start to pull back, she will let you go. She will not wait for a man to decide if he wants her or someone better. Strong women don’t play little, girly games. You are either in or you are out. They will face hurt, heal from their wounds, and get back up ready to conquer whatever is next.
