Azilana, I think you are dead right, the phrase Independant woman is intimidating to most men, normally when a woman says it, the warning bells go off in a mans head. I think the media only depicts what it hears said by some well known "Feminists' as this makes good news especially if its controversal. I think in the end as you say, its through converstion and communication that one finds out what sort of person one is talking to.

And you can still be independant in a realtionship, as long as the realtionship plays a role within your independance

i'd encourage a woman like that, but yet and however, a man must sense his independance once in a while.

Sometimes (admit it or not) some men get intimidated around "Independent" women. Maybe it's because what media depicts a woman should be. Some assume and presume things which makes it kind of complicated when it's not. This always puts us (women) on the defensive mode.

I still think and believe that if one finds time to talk (communication is still the key) and understand what WE (women) wants/wish...

Azilana...........the problem is with Independant women is that some of them are so concentrated in keeping their independance that they forget in a relationship one always gives up a little of ones independance, it is the nature of the relationship, you can no longer think just of yourself.

For alot of independant women this is a non-stater, they cannot give any part up, therefore there relationships end and then they complain that men are unreasonable and just want to stiffle them and take away their independance...........in some cases this maybe true.

Independant, free thinking women are a blessing to our society and world and thank god they are there as they are interesting, fun loving, intelligent people.

Just wish sometimes they would realise that just because a man loves them and wants to be with them is not a sign that he wishes to take anything away from them........in the contrary....men want to share things with them but any independance that maybe sacrifised must be given by them not taken us..........and contrary to some beleives giving up a little of your independance is not a weakness........its a gift

A woman like that means she's as confident of her own person and can love without losing her identity.

Isn't it what most women are nowadays...INDEPENDENT.

I would say most of that fits me apart from "a youth she's content to leave behind" and " 8 matching plates and glasses with stems" LOL

I support partially those views, of course and unfortunately it does not work like that in some cultures or Civilizations.

Take care

I really admire the way this was written...

I love this..

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.” - Paulo Coelho

But it still nice to share it with you...
