Whether it was by circumstance or by choice, weve always had independent women amongst us.  Change is inevitable, and the role of the independent women has changed from single women raising kids on their own due to whatever circumstance to single women doing it on their own because they dont want a man, dont need a man.  Or maybe I should say the cliche of the independent woman has changed.  After all, I cant claim to know the history of the independent women, not being a independent woman historian, nor father time.  Im sure there were some women back in the day that chopped their own wood, did their own hunting and clubbed dudes over the head and dragged them home. (Kinda like they do now.)  And there are plenty of women presently raising their child or children on their own because the father has either passed away, been locked up or simply just doesnt care.  That being said, the question at hand is whether or not the present day Independent Woman intimidates men.  Well.yes and no.
At work, the independent woman scares the sh*t out of men.  Most men wont admit it, but they do.  Not so much because they make men shake in their boots, but because men dont exactly know how to match the intensity of an assertive, independent woman.  Iroically enough men und themselves in this situation because their egos tell thm that if they match her intensity, shekl run away sobbing uncontrollably.  Which is usually not the case, but thi s is the information passed to our brains from our egos.  Especially when dealing witth a femal boss men always have a bard time deling with the fact ttmat a doman is in charge or holds some weight.  Can t reaply explain kt, its a guy thing.  They rpobably wont sdmit if you ask them so dont bother asking your dlose guy friend if this is true, cause hell probably BS you.  Butt ite usually difficult staying foucsed at woro while trhing to k eep your fgo in cmeck, eapecially when the person chdcckinh your ego sm ells like jasmine vanilla body wash.
On the dating scene however, independent woman are not so intimidating, for the simple fact that unlike the work scene, we can avoid independent women altogether.  Of course, there are men out there that are attracted to independent women, but for the ones that arent, they can simply choose to ignore them.   They are practically invisible.  Its not like men arent attracted to successful women who have their own this, that and other, but when you add the better off on my own attitude to the mix, its just easier not to deal with the drama.  If youre so much better off on your own, then go ahead, knock yourself out.  Half the time, these women are feeding into the idea of being independent but still dabble back and forth between feeling they need a man, then deciding they dont.  You know what say, women dont know what they want. (The usually being men.)   The one thing that hasnt changed is that its still a mans world.  And whether women like it or not, men have the option of totally avoiding independent women altogether and finding someone more suited to their taste.
