Do you find independent women attractive?
Edit on my post: I think there is a a good 75% of comments which come from misunderstanding so let me explain myself more. When I mean I am independant, I don’t mean that I want to be alone. I was forced to become adult at a very young age, I help my family a lot. While most people my age only have to worry about how much they can save in a month, on top of their inheritance from their parents. So yes I do way more than most people my age does, that doesn’t mean I want to. That’s my whole point. At work I always get the feedback « be more assertive » also, like it was not enough outside. I actually would want a partner that can take care of me too. I even sometimes only attracted to older guys, just for that. But I also find myself in relationships where I am as well more « in the leading position » (not dominant if you prefer), which I don’t always prefer so as to say. And when I say I find some people less impressive yes I do. Because can everyone stop lying to themselves, we all have our thoughts about people. And yes when I have a girlfriend that has five different extra work activities, is smart, has lots of friends and I compare it to another girl which her boyfriend has to sustain, sorry to think that my friend is more impressive. I have a character, things I like and I accept and don’t as a normal human being, I will not shape myself to a man. I just would have wished there was a man willing to take more the lead in this aspect. So that we’re both independently interdependent. But no one loses it in the relationship.

I (29F) recently question a lot myself on this topic. I have so many girlfriends my age that are the strongest little women I know on earth and are all single, myself as well. When I look around me, it’s my girlfriends that I (not to criticise anyone) am not very much impressed by, that are all in relationships, except the exceptions ofc, let’s say I don’t think they are as impressive and it can be any areas like career lifestyle character etc. So we were all wondering: is being independent pushing away some set of guys ? Or are we more difficult and we don’t settle down so we have this feeling ? I have a dominant character, I will rarely allow anyone’s bullshit with me. Including my family, colleagues and friends. So sometimes go find a more « masculine/dominant » man than me, I feel it literally is 0,5% of the population haha so I am kind of trying to change my horizons and try not to look at that.
