[quote=Anonymous]I’m a very functional, capable woman. I would never ask a guy to hang a shelf or change a lightbulb. I pride myself on being competent and independent.

And yea, a lot of guys don’t like it. Those guys are not people I want to be with. I don’t want a man who needs a lot of fawning. I don’t want a man who needs to feel like a woman depends on him, because then he’s not working on being a good partner to keep her around, he does whatever Tf he wants and assumes a woman will just stick around because she has no other choice.

I do get men who are strongly attracted to capable women and they are generally much better to have as partners. Some not so much (they want to basically be absent in a relationship but still have an independent woman on speed dial for booty calls). But most are very capable, functional men who want the same.

Basically, I want to admire and compliment men based on their character, intellect, etc and I want them to do the same for me.

Also, the damsel in distress look is cute when you’re 24 but puts you in an extremely vulnerable position as you age. Male or female, being helpless in your 50s is extremely unattractive and sets you up for hardship. I’ve seen so many women who didn’t know how to care for themselves because they relied on their husbands, and then when their husband leaves, cheats, dies, etc, they are f***ed. Figuring out adulthood at age 60 is not good. [/quote]
