why are guys so afraid of independant women?

Move on. Sure you're hurt, but there is a man out there that would LOVE to find a good, independent woman(myself for example). Some men, if they're not secure in their manhood, tend to shy away from a secure, independent woman. Not me, I'm secure in my manhood. I love a woman that can think for herself, and take care of herself. I think they're sexy.....but then, I know who I am,and what I want, unlike a lot of the men out there!

Girls being to afraid to break traditional barriers and ask a guy out or bring up taboo subjects.  Also, don't make the mistake of getting jealous or upset really easily, trust him.

This may be true. They(boys) may find you a bit intimidating because you are confident and probably because of your maturity they may think they don't stand a chance with you.  But don't change because they are too wimpy to approach you.  There are lots of guys that like a challenge and are not intimidated by talented, competitive, confident young ladies. They find this appealing.

They do it because they can. They get a thrill out of physical domination. They think they know better than you do about what you want and what you don't want. \n\nI don't know who this person is to you, if you have a choice to be in their presence or not, but if this behavior occurs more than you can bear, you need to avoid the person, or if you can't avoid him, get help from someone that you trust and has some influence with the perpetrator. \n\nHave courage. These types of men will respect a person demanding their feelings be know and respected or if he is not so caring, he will avoid you because you are too high maintence in his opinion. Either way your courage will get the result you desire.

Shouldn't a man also appear to be "hard to get"\nThis shows either you are a "Thinker" or there is a girl in your life who is making you feel weak for her. Well men and women are the same, both have feelings.. there is no need to make it difficult to get but it apprears so because females don wanna be friendly with all males. They think about their security. Men feel safe so they take the first step in a relation

They're just feeling insecure because standing next to you it would be even more apparent THEY don't work out. Most men wouldn't want a woman who is stronger than them or earns more than them or has a better career. We've got to be very subtle about these things lest we offend their fragile ego!

Insecurity, they don't trust themselves so they always have their eyes on you and saying your doing something when your not.  Little do they know that pushes a woman away, so when they start that game just keep your eyes and ears open cuz they gonna tell on themselves in a minute lol.

A young man would most likely feel afraid because many fathers are or are stereotyped as being very protective of their daughters. My own experiences have been much different and I discovered that my previous girlfriends father shared many of the same interests as me.

Because alot of women are insecure and want control of situations that either hurt them or make them feel vulnerable. They will get really defensive and try to assign blame in order to maintain control. Men on the other hand feel more out of control when they actually let out what they are feeling so they just try to avoid the whole thing so that they don't lose their own feeling of security. Basically people in general don't understand why the opposite gender reacts the way it does and thus arguments are born.

alot of men are intimidated by good-looking women. they feel that they don't have a chance. they end up losing in the end to a total jack-ass. jack-asses will do anything to get a woman so they can fuck-them-and-dump-them. they, in turn, ruin it for the guys that would probably be the best thing that ever happened to that woman. it does happen the opposite way sometimes as well. if a guy looks clean-cut and is very polite, give him a chance. remember, arrogance is generally a bad thing. confidence is another...

Some girls say they don't like a guy because they fear what their friends will think of them. Some are also afraid of rejection and wont admit it until they know how the guy feels about them.

In my opinion, there are 2 reasons men are hesitant to approach a woman.\nA. The women are with a group of close friends. This would mean If the guy gets rejected, there will be a large audience to watch the whole thing.\nB. The woman is beautiful. Men think this woman can have anyone she wants, why would she care for me?

I think it's an age old problem that has been passed down through the years.  If a man sees a woman who is confident enough to know what she wants, it is a threat.  Men say they hate a whiny, weak female, yet they are gravitated toward them.  I've chased many men away because I speak my mind.  We females who are free and independant have to make up our minds that "SINGLE" is a good thing if it means compromising who we are just to get a man.  That is where a woman finds out where she really stands with herself.  True independance does not fear being alone.  You don't have to always like it, but it is better than settling for less.  There aren't that many guys out there who really want an independant woman.  Independance means freedom and "letting go".  Both sexes have way too many expectations, or rather, the wrong expectations.  The problems start when he/she becomes disappointed when they don't get what they want out of a relationship.  When two people meet and they should be happy that they have each other, and not get so hung up on what he/she can do for me. Love needs to be reciprocal.  Men and women alike "fall in love" because of what they expect to get out of it, not because of what they want to "give" to the other person, and then are disappointed when that person does not meet with all their expectations.  If a person cannot learn to "live alone" first and find contentment with that, then you'll never find it with someone.  Personally, I have learned that I like myself, I like my independance, and if that means "SINGLE", then so be it.  I am sure that if their is someone out there for me to love then that is what I will do - "LOVE HIM".  If he tries to change me, then he doesn't LOVE me, he's in love with an image he has created in his mind and not the woman that stands before him.  Women make the same mistake.  They create an image of what they want in a man, and then work their butts off trying to change him.  If I cannot accept you for who you are, and you cannot accept me for who I am then, "What is the point"?  Walk away before you make each other miserable.  Men and women are not all that different, we just have different roles to fulfill in a relationship, it is just a question of being sure that we are both being real with one another so we know things will last.

Women are amazing creatures who jump through amazing hoops for the most ridiculous of men. I've done it myself. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's fear of being alone.

Every guy out there who says they are not is lying.  That simple.  They all look at a beautiful woman and the first thing that goes through their mind is, "will she like me?"  Definition of intimidation.  Even the guys who are brave enough to go in after a few minutes, they were still intimidated for those few minutes...they just had something inside them that told them go for it anyway.\n\nI wish I had that.
