Are strong women often a nightmare?

Hello, my old and younger friend.

Particularly in my society (and I am sure in other societies too), a strong woman is a bitch that you must run away from, she is not wife materials. That's why I often had trouble finding someone who would appreciate me for who I am.

The way I see it, from what I have observed around - A man who is confident and smart enough, would prefer a strong woman any day, any time. It is because he realises that she is someone whom he can depend on and trust her judgement (both partners need to depend on the other at times, it is not always women who seek to depend on men). On the other hand, a man who is insecure will be terrified of strong women, he is just looking for someone to control to satisfy his insecurities, he is not looking for anything more in her.

Strong women attract strong men and vice versa.
