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

What makes a strong woman?

Among other factors, her struggles, sacrifices, and selflessness play a huge part. A strong woman has endured pain, overcome heart-wrenching experiences, and has allowed herself to be led by forgiveness.

A strong woman has swum in deep and treacherous waters and held her breath as long as possible. This type of woman is self-sufficient, independent, loving, and has no fears of showing her vulnerability.

If the woman you love (or perhaps hope to find) fits the above description, consider yourself privileged. The strong woman knows that one moment you are the teacher, and the next you might be the student. She understands and is okay with this, but sometimes the man in her life fails to share this understanding.

Can you handle a strong woman in your life?

**Now granted...none of this may apply if you are strictly looking for a woman for a fuck buddy, sexy friend or a NSA/FWB kind of "thing" **


HERE ARE 10 REASONS WHY MOST MEN CAN’T HANDLE A STRONG WOMAN:

1. A STRONG WOMAN DOESN’T NEED A MAN TO FIGHT FOR HER.

A man needs to feel wanted. He needs to know that he is battling for the eternal love and admiration of his woman. A strong woman will show you that she loves you, but she’s also independent and can manage on her own. The strong woman is willing to fight for both of you, but she doesn’t need a man to fight her battles for her. If she has a problem, she deals with it.
A strong woman doesn’t sit and wait, as a victim, for a man to find the solution. Some men can’t handle this strength. If you choose to remain with this type of woman, be willing to walk beside her . . . not in front of her, pulling her to where you think she should be.

2. A STRONG WOMAN KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS.

Strong women know what they want, how to attain it, and remember all that they had to endure to get whatever they have. A woman like this knows what she wants. If she likes a man, she will go after him. She will not wait for the man to make the first move. Strong women have tenacious personalities that can be extremely intimidating for some men. They aren’t submissive. They love wholeheartedly and also can continue exploring the world with a man or not. It takes a self-confident man to allow this type of personality to take charge.

3. A STRONG WOMAN WILL REQUIRE HONESTY AND VULNERABILITY.

Men have a hard time opening up to difficult questions. Strong women dive right into the depth of hurt, traumas, and life-changing experiences. They require a man who can be honest and vulnerable, because they have endured so much in their lives and want to believe they are not alone. They need to know that their mate can be available to navigate the ocean of uncertainties and travel the edges of madness.

Strong women don’t fear the past. They excavate and search for those things that make us human. The strong woman will always find a strong man to stand tall with her in the face of adversity. Men tend to avoid vulnerability because it makes them feel weak. If you want to gain the admiration of the strong woman in your life, do not fear moments of vulnerability.

4. A STRONG WOMAN IS NOT INTIMIDATED BY INTIMACY.

The strong woman will challenge a man in the most intimate of ways. She will require intimacy in all forms, from conversation to making love. She will hold nothing back. Because a strong woman is comfortable with her femininity, she will expect her man to also be open to all aspects of intimacy. She requires passion and desire; she wants to feel like she’s the one.

5. A STRONG WOMAN CAN SEE THROUGH LIES.

Strong women are honest and expect complete trust in a relationship. They can sense lies in an instant, so don’t try to sugarcoat a white lie. Don’t give the strong woman in your life any bogus explanations. She has the ability to act as a human lie detector. Being in a relationship with a strong woman requires no holding back. She will never tolerate a sense of falseness and selfishness. If you can’t be with her completely, she will have no problem moving on.

6. A STRONG WOMAN REQUIRES INTEGRITY AND CONSISTENCY.

Women who have inner strength cannot tolerate irregularity or indecisive personalities. They want to know that the man they love has integrity and respect, and is a man of his word. If they start to feel that their man is pulling away, they will react accordingly and have no problem letting him go if they feel they are being played. They want to feel like they are loved unconditionally. If they feel disrespected, they will have no issues setting that matter straight. The worst thing you can do to a strong woman is make her feel weak.

7. A STRONG WOMAN IS INTENSE.

A strong woman has endured extraordinary challenges and obstacles in her life. In other words, she is strong for a reason, because she has had to be powerful during extremely dark moments. Having come through, she knows she can endure anything else in her path, but this kind of intensity is oftentimes difficult for a man to understand. It’s intimidating because of all the emotions and thoughts that come with this type of persona. The strong woman is willing to share her scars, and expects you to do the same. There are no secrets in her world.

8. A STRONG WOMAN WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU.

This type of woman will follow you to the depths of hell if she knows you are committed to her. However, the moment you start to pull back, she will let you go. She will not wait for a man to decide if he wants her or someone better. Strong women don’t play little, girly games. You are either in or you are out. They will face hurt, heal from their wounds, and get back up ready to conquer whatever is next.

9. A STRONG WOMAN WILL LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY.

The love you receive from a strong woman is faithful. Just like mothers with their , the strong woman will nurture and love her man fiercely. When she feels that love in return, she will do anything she can to make him feel loved. The strong woman in your life will support you, help you, and fight for you to get what you deserve. Some men can’t handle this kind of unconditional love. They get frightened by the intensity and depth of giving. Many times it is in this stage that men flee from a strong woman. If this happens, regardless of how deeply she loved you, she will also let you go. She knows her worth.

10. A STRONG WOMAN WILL SHOW YOU WHO YOU ARE.

It’s hard to accept the things we don’t like about ourselves when someone points them out. A strong woman will speak up about those parts in her man that need addressing. She will also be there to help show you how amazing and powerful you are. She will stand by you and show you pure acceptance and confidence. Some men cannot handle the emotional chaos that comes up with this type of demeanor. For this reason, strong women will find strong men; the weak ones won’t make it past the first few dates. Weak men don’t know what to do with the honesty, strength, intelligence, and independence that is portrayed by a woman of strength.

A strong man, on the other hand, was likely raised by a strong woman. He knows how to either deal with the dark nights of the soul that arise in any relationship, or leave.

Barry Paul Price writes, “Dating a strong woman is not something every guy can handle. He has to be confident in himself as a person, and as a man. Men must feel capable of meeting a woman’s needs.

Traditionally, we did that providing financial security and physical protection.

More recently, as women have expressed themselves with more independence and toughness, men aren’t sure how or when they’re needed by their woman. He ends up feeling unsure of his value and significance in the relationship.

Many women tell me their man’s emotional support is just as important as financial and physical contributions. Unfortunately, men are not used to identifying masculinity with giving emotional support.”

Do you have the strength to support your woman of strength in the way she most needs it? Strong women have no time to play games. If you can handle the intensity, love, and honesty she will provide, you might just be the man who can complement this type of woman.

AMEN…..AMEN…..AMEN…..

I am a strong woman….I have had joys and heartaches in my life and for the most part I feel that I have come out on top….despite feeling at times like I may not.

I have cried many tears through the years, at times while in my car or in the shower...so as not to upset my . I have survived pregnancy at an early age, two miscarriages, the death of my beloved mother, a marriage and divorce (that included verbal abuse), various trials and tribulations raising six (who have had their own issues at times - some of a serious nature). It’s a given fact that when your hurt...you hurt (or at least it is for me).

I believe all of these things have allowed me to be that strong woman. I will admit that it gives me great pride to know that my have seen, and have known that their mother is a strong woman and have told me that I have been instrumental in making them the people that they are today!

I love my four sons tremendously…..but I am beyond over the moon that I have raised two daughters that are 23 and 21 and are absolutely strong, smart, and independent young women. They work and go to school and fight their own battles (but know mom has their backs - along with 4 older brothers...if ever needed....lol). One will be graduating this December with her Bachelor’s degree in nursing and plans to go on to earn further degrees! Her little sister is following in her footsteps…

They too will need strong men in their lives…..men that can handle their strength (and their occasional attitudes and sarcasm) Oooops….yes….I gave them a few of my less stellar qualities as well…..lol

Don’t get me wrong..I still have my doubts at times. My fears of what will be (or won’t) sometimes creep in as I lay alone in that time before sleep. But I know without a doubt that I will awaken (Lord willing) and get up and proceed to do what I need to do to live my life, with the strength that I have inside my heart and soul……

Eventually I hope there will be a man that will be able to walk with me….take my hand and match me stride for stride….together!

Someday I will let one in…….when the time is right……

I Am Woman (the song)

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back and pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can face anything
I am strong
(Strong)
I am invincible
(Invincible)
I am woman
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

Absolutely!! So many countries still treat women as second class citizens....

I agree a woman however strong she may be, has to keep that soft side of her as well. That is one of her strengths.....to have and show that as well.

There are definitely some awesome men out there....

I try not to bust too many balls....but can or will if they deserve it.....lol

Then you are a lucky man!!

It is a learning experience - all relationships are I think. It's just a matter of what you're both willing to put in to it. You can still be an alpha male and have a strong, independent woman. It's a give and take.....

Thank you....I'm so very glad you enjoyed it!

I think many times some men say one thing....get it, and then realize they don't really want it after all. Or don't know what to do with it when they have it.

Perfect example being a strong woman! A strong man, secure in himself will be able to enjoy and embrace a strong woman.

I am who I am as well, and if one can't handle that...then I see it as their loss...not mine. I agree that one's life journey either makes them or breaks them.

It IS a positive thing to experience some of life's "harder" side and come out the better for it! You are not wrong.....

I have always prefered strong women in my life, but so many have been strong up to a point, and then relinquished control to me, when I didnt want or ask for that control. WHY do women DO that?
BTW, you missed one, STRONG WOMEN ENDURE, all of life's disapointments & pain, when most men would crumble and die !

In my years of life, I have had relationships with strong women (as are described in your blog), and women that I have found to be strong in other ways. My mother is one of the strongest women I ever have known, yet she doesn't fit many of the points that were made. She is a quietly strong woman, having had many rough things that would have broken many people in her life. Yet, she is fairly quiet and leads by example without flamboyance. As for my relationships, I have found that the stronger women have been much more easy to love and understand. There is no guessing where they are at most of the time and if they love back, it is real love and not just for the possible security I can provide to them. I will take a strong lady anytime, even one that has a sarcastic side. Hell, She would have to put up with my sarcasm as well, right? Lol Great post!

Cum follow my blog and feel free to leave a comment. It's what makes the chat interesting!

Well I'm glad to hear that you prefer a strong woman - as to your question...that would be for those particular women to answer for you. I couldn't presume to know why they did that honestly.

I'm not sure that enduring disappointment and pain and still going on is exclusive to women (honestly I'm thinking of John McCain). A strong person is a strong person and can be either sex. But I have seen studies that do say women are stronger emotionally and mentally.

You have covered many a subject in your wonderful blog, so I am sure that this subject was one too....lol.

My experiences through life are what shaped me into a strong women and it took me a little while to see myself in that light. My ex was an intimidating man, and once I realized what I had in me....I found my voice and my strength and he could not handle it.

I hope to definitely find that man that will walk with me....unless of course like you said...he's checkin' my behind...from behind....lol

It is good that you understand and see what a strong woman can bring to a man and the relationship. I think you are correct that with a strong woman you know where you stand. For me....my love is worn on my sleeve and there is no guessing, it is evident and expressed.

My sarcasm will generally come out when pushed too far....or if I sense I'm being lied to, or taken for a fool etc...but if it is given - it should definitely be tolerated and understood as well.

I'm glad you enjoyed the post
