i in no way claimed that it was strength of character, nor do i concede that ann's behavior is indicative of a character defect. i am merely pointing out that we all perceive things through the prism of our own experiences. your experiences with strong women will have colored your feelings towards strong women, in general, and ann, in particular.
Ummm....I have to point out here that I don't think you've given us your qualifications for these types of pop-psych-analyses.
In fact, the very opposite is true from what you imply. I have NEVER even dated a woman who did not fit this profile. So not only do I not have an aversion to them, but they're basically the only ones who set off my radar.
So long as she was not physically and verbally violent her strength would be a huge plus in my book....
