“Men don’t like strong women,” accomplished single women often declare.   My response is: “Actually, men LOVE strong women.  What they’re not attracted to are women who seem cold and unapproachable…or women who THINK they’re being strong when they’re really being emotionally distant.”  

SOME men may feel threatened by a woman’s success, but in general, the men that a great woman wants are successful men who are longing for a soul mate. Recently, someone sent the following questions about the challenges of being a “strong” woman.

“…When you first meet somebody, you’re not really meeting them…you’re meeting their REPRESENTATIVE.” Chris Rock, Comedian
