    It takes a very special man to choose a smart, strong and confident woman.

    Not all men appreciate those qualities ..... some men don't want to be challenged.

    I think that some men are conditioned from the beginning of their lives to attempt to be stronger, but it s the secure, respectful men that choose strong and confident women.

    if the man is a true gentleman then i would say he would want someone that is smart, sexy and capable of taking care of herself. if he was a shallow individual, then he would prefer a woman who was a dumb as a pole. However, those that are that shallow arent worth having as a boyfriend, friend, lover or basically exist. they will end up using the woman until her looks are gone and then find another. But the man that finds a smart and independant woman is in it for the long haul. It really depends on what you want. do you want to be used? or do you want to be loved for who you are?

    I guess it depends on the guy some guys want a smart women with a good job cause they dont have to support the home all by them selfs. Some guys like to have a dumb wife who is at home with the kids all day but those guys are usually construction workers or millionairs lol

    The men now a days want a smart self-sufficient woman. A woman who can share in the expenses. That's what we look for in a man why can' they? But we can't be superwoman.

    Im smart, independent and alot of fun, When I was single It was NEVER hard for me to get a date. So I think they look for independence and intelligence, but sometimes their own lack of intelligence makes them seek girls who are dumb.

    They are usually more intimidated by a smart, educated, aggressive woman. They tend to feel they have more power, and can get away with more if they are with a less intelligent girl.

    No I'm independent, and prefer independent women. If a girl is dependent on you, I think it adds alot of pressure, and pulls you down.

    My preference is she is intelligent and sensual but not too strong.

    She can be financial independent, but must be willing to share the expense.

    Finally, if she has the body like your avarta, she will certainly be my perfect woman.
