I would prefer an emotionally strong man that can take charge as needed...

In my experience, women define "take charge as needed" as "take charge when I don't want to..."

Perhaps we should make an "avoid like the plague" list of warning terms:

-take charge as needed
-lifestyle I could become accustomed to
-respect my space
-I have only guy friends
-treat me like a little princess. (just ewwww)
-I am independent successful career minded...

not a perfect list but a worthy concept.
