Men who are afraid of strong women are weak.

One of my friends told me there are some man who dont like strong and clever woman.
What do you think, it can be true? And if yes, WHY?
Only weak men
Of course it is very likely. I just figure it's not my problem. Live and let live.
Honestly, I don't have the time of day...

What you refer to as "strong women" are usually assholes who have serious mental problems stemming largely from their daddy issues.A chick with Borderline Personality Disorder isn't "strong."
She is an asshole, and no real man alive would want to deal with a back-talking jerkoff when he can land himself a lady worth having.
And you derived the OP's definition of "strong woman" how?
Stop projecting, Ray.
Lol. Some men just like someone they can "control" and that will let them do what they want. Someone that will give him little to no hell about it. Can you blame them? I'd be offended if I got a guy like that, to me that means he's sees me as weak.

In my opinion, that man is most probably a player who isn't looking for a long-term relationship. With the right man, almost all women are happy to be "submissive" enough for there to be harmony. He won't even have to try, she will willingly do it all on her own - maybe even subconsciously. That's my opinion. I say this because I am what my parents have always called "headstrong" and independent. But, with the two guys I've loved, they brought out another side of me that I was extremely happy with.

what is a strong women in fact ?
A fiercesome thing to behold.
She can bear children while maintaining feminine mystique. She can hold down a formidable career while still enticing and capturing the wiliest of men. She can and is everything
The imaginary hand of the gene market will guide it. No point harping on it. The number of successful copulations will indicate the winner of trends.

Oh yes....those men DEFINITELY exist. However, some women can also be quite confrontational and they often excuse it by saying "you can't handle a strong woman". There's a difference between strength and bossiness. I know this because when I was younger I was quite confrontational myself. As I've matured I've realized that not everything needs to turn into an argument, battle, or competition. Be mindful of the things you say and do. We women can kind of overlook our own actions sometimes.

This +100000. There seems to be confusion between being obnoxious with being strong. Strength is not about trying to be as rude as possible and getting away with it, playing the system or sticking it to people. Strength is the same as it is for a man: character, values and fortitude. That is extremely sexy and a large amount of men fall over themselves for such a woman.

Yeah, I agree as far as being submissive with the right man but that depends on the situation. Now compromising, I can do that. If I don't find what he wants me to do to be resonable, there will be no being submissive. I'll only be submissive if its a resonble request and if he deserves it.

If that is the road you want to walk, then go for it.

Exactly.
Strong does not mean 'aggressive,' necessarily-- though some men think it does,
mistaking (as folks are wont to do) kindness for weakness.

They're intimidated because they think they can easily be replaced. A strong woman who can do for herself, has charisma, makes friends and networks effortlessly, intelligent, career goals, etc. Doing all this while being a good partner. That's a tall order, mind you they also see that suitors also see this in her as well.
So they question who will hurt more, who will lose more, can they do better, if the relationship doesn't last.
It's just easier to establish control over a mousey person, who doesn't know any better.

I love women who are strong and can hold their own. I can't stand pushovers regardless of the gender. It's like please stand up for yourself you're better than this we all are. Like embrace your special and just be you and don't give a shit about the world. I'm very much attracted to women who can hold their own and don't need anyone to take care of them, that way when they let me care for them it means that much more. Plus if this is a potential wife you know your kids especially your girls will be strong with your mothers ideals. Women and men are more equal that both genders let on. Though they have their strengths and weaknesses, no reason both can't go toe to toe.
Oh thank God, men like u still exist! Men who hated on strong women are just plain cowards to me.
Unless he argue with me naked, I will let him win else forget about it. I don't back down if I think I'm right and I'll make sure u see my facts and the more he argue, I will love him more but he has to make sure he's talking logic and not just blabbering shits.

My BF arm wrestled me last night. He's feeling under the weather, and I thought I could take advantage of his weakened state. I battled with all I had before my wrist gave out and I lost. "Aw! You gave up! You could have won that!" After some thought, "But you're strong." I wanted to kiss his face off.
😄
@Fyzagems, @Taureye: LOL, you goise! *covers face* I'll admit that, at one point, I DID try to cheat by tickling his nipple under his hoodie.
Next time, things will play out differently. Muahahaha! *makes note of your suggested tactics*
My fear stems from when I was young, I was always around strong women like my mum and her friends, my cousins and aunties, my mum and her friends used to attack me viciously with their "feminism" a 13 year old boy. Every time they would get together they would super impose their strength as strong women on me and really put me down for no reason other than to make themselves feel more powerful.....I was such a lovely child.
As I got older I started to stick up for myself and they didn't like it and it just ended up blowing up in their faces because I'm 6 foot 3 and I could easily crush them by stepping on them.
I hate women who have a chip on their shoulder, I am all for women's rights and I will defend a woman but the second I see a woman being bossy and mean because she has a chip on her shoulder then I'm like "bitch you're on your own"

A man whom I love. Just because I love him doesn't mean I'm gonna be a fool. So yes, if he deserves it, I'd be glad to do what he wants me to do (if reasonable lol).
Insecure men don't like strong, intelligent women. This goes for anyone who is insecure, though, and how they handle the person who is secure varies widely.

What do you mean by strong...
clever woman is not bad
They are clever and know about a lot of issues...reads a lot.
Have a good IQ and EQ too...
The friends who told me that, think she is not good enought for a boy...but i spoke with the boy and he told me, the problem is: "she is too nice and cleverest than me. She is like an angel. I cant be good for her."

I suppose I just can't comprehend the "if he deserves it" mentality because I can't comprehend a man whom you love ever asking you to do something that wouldn't be in your best interest in the long run. It's an odd way of looking at things, in my opinion, and one I'll have to contemplate.

It's not. I've met a few. The last one was an Aries. Loved the chemistry between us, but he was only interested in getting action. As soon as I started talking about quantum physics he made a snarky comment about brainiacs and academics while looking at me like I'd become some strange monster. I lost all interest in him right then and there.
Also, I was married to this kind of man. He felt threatened by who and what I am, so he would put me down whenever he could: my art wasn't professional quality, I was worthless, the books and music I like were crap, jewelry making was a waste of my time, etc. This is how insecure men handle a woman who isn't insecure, with insults, abuse, etc. Those insecure men who are single and haven't gotten involved with one will find ways of belittling a secure woman, or they'll run, but it's almost always with some sort of insult thrown in before they do run....you know, so they can make themselves feel better about themselves, I guess.
^^^THIS!! and jealousy stems from severe insecurity.

Oh, my Dear, you don't want to walk down that road, I assure you.
I once joined a Singles website, and noticed that the place was crowded with late 20 something women who were absolutely destitute to meet a quality man.
My experience has shown me that these same women are usually the ones who put quality men in the trashcan in their early to mid 20s.
When those men all get married, they are all alone with their cats.

Ok, good point. "Like" probably isn't the right word to use in that context. They might "like" the person, but their own insecurity causes them to either treat that person badly, or they run, and this is based on my own observations/experiences with insecure people, both male and female.

"Happy to be submissive". Pff, right.
Please tell me you're joking.
Most I've met are just insecure. I agree with Alicia too.
^^^Made me laugh! 😆
strong women are too much for me .. my weak azz can't handle their sass/vigor
I usually have a whip by me just in case their "assertiveness" gets out of control
a happy woman is a disciplined woman
as for the clever ones, I stay the hell away from them ..
those who read many books (novels excluded) and use big words are the apex intimidators
shiit, who wants to be around someone that makes you feel like you have an IQ of 80 ?
Well from my experiences I can say they don't fear them. Most men want a strong woman. But the problem is basically when they have one, they don't know how to handle her. And then they choose to quit.
And if they fear, what are they do? So it can be true: if a man be afraid of a strong woman, he dont want relationship with her.
