In fact had a conversation with a male friend about it the other day. From my point of view and in my experiences...men say they want an independent woman who has her act together financially and emotionally.
Yet here I am...divorced 6 years...I have a good job, nice house, car, money in the bank...I can take care of myself and I'm not an emotional basketcase...and can't find a good man.
The good men I know are all too busy chasing the women who make me embarrased to be a woman!!! They are emotional freakin wrecks who can't make a decision to save their lives...need a man in their life 24/7 for emotional and financial support...EXACTLY what the men I meet say they DON'T want.
Go figure.
So....don't feel alone in the way you feel...but try not to lump all women into the same category either because we aren't all that way. I'm hoping there's at least a few men out there...and ONE right one for me that actually does want a stable woman!
Agree and I do know women like yourself as well, basically it seems to be what we indiviually find attractive. For both sexes there are a few variables, men want to feel like the protector and provider so in the case of an independent woman, they are not going to feel needed I guess, I can't for the life of me figure out why they go for the, as you say freaking wrecks, it does baffle me, that however is not my choice in a woman thankfully, nor is the the one who holds onto all her past baggage. My guess for some women would be finding a man who is confident, but only insecure enough to know his weakness and deal with it, but not too insecure to be a mama's boy or wusey. Unfortunately, by being a "Nice Guy" some of the confindence is lost by appearence. Must be just one of lifes jokes I guess.
