10 Reasons Why Most Men Can’t Handle A Strong Woman

What makes any woman a strong woman? She’s someone who knows exactly what she wants. She is independent and versatile, someone who won’t take any man’s nonsense. A woman of strength knows who she is. Her life experiences have shaped her into being the person she is today. If you think you can tell a woman like this how to live her life, you’re in for a really rude wake-up call! Most men can’t handle strong, independent women. Here are ten reasons why.

A strong woman knows what she wants

She has goals. And she will achieve them. She knows how to get there, and she won’t let anything stop her. When it comes to men, she knows exactly the kind of guy she wants and needs. So, if you can’t be that person, better think again![1]

She doesn’t like dishonesty

Nobody does, but a strong woman especially won’t let it slide. You might know the saying: “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” Well, that is exactly why a woman like this just won’t accept a liar. A strong woman can see through anyone’s lies.[2]

She won’t back down

If a woman of this caliber believes something, she will not change her mind to suit you. Most men can’t accept being wrong. And while she won’t back down, she’s not afraid to admit when she was wrong, either. Having a mind of her own is one of her strongest attributes, but most men want to control – sadly, that won’t fly with a strong woman![2]

A strong woman is not afraid of intimacy

She knows her body, and she knows exactly what she wants. Therefore, she needs a man who will accept her power, not one who will tell her what to be and what to like. She is feminine and comfortable with who she is. Many men just are not ready for the level of intimacy a woman like this comes with.[1]

She is intimidating

Many men don’t realize that being with a strong woman means that she will take the lead. Often this can be intimidating to some. She’s not a b*tch! She just knows how to get what she wants, and she won’t allow anyone to run over her.[1]

She doesn’t have time for games

10 Reasons Why Most Men Can't Handle A Strong Woman

If a strong woman has chosen you, she does not have time for silly games. This is not high school. She’s been there; she’s got the T-shirt. She needs someone who has the same goals and a similar mindset. Someone who won’t question her for her choices or try to make her feel small.[2]

A strong woman needs a secure man

A secure lady needs a secure man. So many men are not as secure as they make themselves out to be. And, that’s okay. It’s just not okay for a stronger, more powerful woman who is secure within herself. She has not got the time to build up a man. She needs someone who knows their worth, just as much as they know hers.[2]

She’s always busy

If she’s not out achieving her goals and reaching her dreams, she’s probably keeping herself busy with other hobbies and things she loves. She knows that life is too short to spend doing things you don’t enjoy. This does not mean she won’t ever have time for the man she loves, but don’t expect her to be at home in the kitchen when she could be out achieving greatness.[2]

A strong woman is not going to wait

Men seem to think that making women wait is okay. A strong woman is not going to sit around until you are ready. Either you are, or you are not. Don’t try waste her time – she won’t allow it![1]

She knows her worth

A strong woman has probably been through her fair share of relationships which taught her exactly what she is worth. If you can’t see it, she sure as heck can! She knows what she brings to the table. If you treat her anything less than, she’s not going to be around for long.[2]
