Intimidated
Here's another question I have been pondering... Why are people, guys in general, intimidated by girls who are independent?
My dad raised me to be an independent lady and to know how to take care of myself. He taught me all about my car and how to deal with situations, among other things. Girls who can hold their own or can carry on a conversation about football seems amazing to me. It's almost like a plus.
Needy, clingy and superficial girls doesn't seem appealing in my book! So why is that what most guys turn to?
Here's some advice to the all decent but clueless fellows out there...look around! Girls that care more about there shoes than their future isn't going to get you far in life. Think about what you really need in life instead of what looks pretty on paper. I bet your option will look a lot different!

Shannon gets it. I'm teaching my daughter the same thing. Because an independent female knows how to take care of herself, does not make her selfish. Actually, it shows she loves others because if she is not her best she can't be a best friend for anyone else. Remember there are always three sides to us...1. The side we see; 2. The side others see; and 3. The side God sees.
Shannon, you go girl!

Shannon - as you get older you will find that finally the guys do get it. It just takes them some time to catch up with the amazing girls around them. How many flighty wives do you see? The real men know the difference.
hey, do you want oscar back? i'm moving on monday, and apparently my landlord doesn't like birds because here's a new concept, they poop. doesn't make sense to me, but i can't keep him anymore. i've cried all the tears, now i just need to find her a home.
The problem here is that some guys want someone who needs taking care of, someone who they think needs their attention and devotion.
The reason that is a problem is that in the end, these guys will only feel trapped and want to escape from the demand their girlfriend or wife puts on them.
I know this from experience. I was the needy girl once or twice, and I got dumped. When I realized I may never get married, I got independent and God brought me and my husband together. Today we are codependant, and that is much better than dependant or independant all together.
