A typical argument women like to use is: "Men just can't accept a stong, independant woman"
I'd liek to see one describe the difference between "strong and independent" and "self centered, and uncompromising"
I'll give it a go: I consider myself "strong and independent" in a good way. Taking my kids out of an abusive marriage, I now find myself a single parent. I have to be strong for my kids and I consider myself independent, not out searching for another man to support me and my kids - who would find that attracive? I wouldn't consider that self-centered, since my focus is my children, but I may be uncompromising since I have very strong values I'm trying to raise them with. Then again, I'm sure some men have those same uncompromising values. ;o)
But generally, you are correct.
Many men are selfish and try their best to take advantage of women who aren't strong, independent, and uncompromising.
I have to say something here. I grew up in Texas, but moved to California when I got out of college. I have another engineering friend of mine that did the same.
Both of us had a lot more difficulty keeping boyfriends in Texas, and both of us married Christian men in California.
In California, both of us had lots of dates and lots to choose from. In Texas, it just seemed like the men shied away from us when they heard that we were engineers.
