If you want something sugarcoated, you should probably go get yourself a cupcake, cupcake. Don't expect to carry on a relationship solely through text messages. Any juvenile attempt to make her jealous by talking about or posting photos with other women will backfire. They expect honesty and commitment from you, but they are more than willing to return it with the same fierce passion they apply to every other aspect of their lives.

Women like this are efficient communicators and the nuances of texting aren't going to cut it. Strong women do not get jealous because they are secure enough in themselves to know what (and who) is worth their time, or what/who isn't. Strong, mature women are worldly, passionate and educated. You will not find a more trustworthy woman than a strong, independent one. Because she chooses what she wants out of life and she holds on to it when she gets it. She has lived her life with passion and excitement for long before she met you.

" exchanges, then you are barking up the wrong tree. What they don't want is to be around someone who is going to mistreat or disrespect them. If you are the man she has chosen to share her life with, her ambitious nature will rub off on you, if you aren't like that already. (And, even if you plan it out, expect her to add her own personal flair.) 12. As someone motivated, ambitious and intelligent, you want to build a beautiful life for yourself.

She wants you to make decisions and she wants you to make plans. You have goals, dreams and visions for your future.

As I've said before, I wear my independence like a badge on my chest.

I'm entirely proud of the fact I posses the confidence and ease to exist independently and happily, before trying to merge my life with another.

This is simply the breed of woman I have grown into over the years. Does she have no interest in men or a relationship? While I can't speak for everyone, I can give you an idea of what I think the independent woman wants you to know before dating her: I don't know why, but highly independent women are often painted as difficult, power-hungry alpha females, perhaps with a penchant for the anti-men agenda. Why is it that we embrace the alpha male ideology so easily, yet it wasn't until recently that we began to soften toward the female equivalent of this concept?

With that said, there are no shortage of misconceptions that exist in regard to understanding the independent woman. Does she only think about her own desires, instead of a potential partner's? Being independent doesn't mean a woman is against you or cold in any way.

If a couple is going to have one teammate who has big plans for their own future, it’s going to need teammates who have big plans.

So, if you’ve met a woman and she’s clearly strong, independent, and maybe puts even a little bit of fear in your because she is so badass, here’s what you to know before you go down that road.

It’s always best to be prepared when dealing with a woman who has her act together. This doesn’t mean you need to be a billionaire who looks like Ryan Gosling, but it does mean you have to have your act together and respect us. We figure if you want to stray and cheat on us, then that’s your loss.

She can be just as warm and affectionate as any woman.

Independent is a characteristic I am proud to have, while also being one that comes back to bite me in the realm of my love life.
