I hear this all the time. Women want a strong man? What is the definition of one though? I'm sure it may be different from person to person, but I'd be interested to hear some responses. In my opinion, there are a lot of men who have great attributes. They are committed, can compromise when asked, have integrity, solid moral values, great work ethics, and still they are being left by women everyday in droves simply because they are strong people in general. I know there is a myriad of issues that can ruin a relationship and I know women can certainly relate as well. It has happened to them all to often as well. What's the answer here? Are women out there at the point where they just want men that will come into a relationship with no expectations and roll over? What's strong to you?

Beeing what some may consider Pysically strong ,i dont think women find that my Pysice is to appealing to be honest alot are put off and fine me un attractive,
But i think they find strong males ie not weak minded, Be able to be there for them when times get tough and not go to a emotional wreck at the slighest thing,To be able to take over in situations when needed and the trick beeing nKnowing when to and when to STFU,its a mine field and something thats not easily pin pointed as each idvidual will look for certain things,
I look forward to reading the responses thay are given

I agree with you Glenn...Being physically strong is importan...I mean, what if we need to get some furniture moved?  At the same time...I think that it takes a very strong man to show his emotions....

From a personal stand point I think that most women who say they want a strong man are not clear on their own defenition of what a strong man should be. Speaking as a women I do want a strong man in my life but strong meaning secure and honest able to understand his role in my life and allow me to play my role in his life. And those roles should be established in the begining of a potential relationship to avoid all the second thoughts of "I didnt know you were like that or I didn't know you did that"

A strong man can be many things. I would like to believe that I am a strong women. I can make it on my own and have been, but I want a man to be with. I don't want a man that just lays down and tells me what I want to hear, but I also want him to need me. I want a man that is strong enough in himself to ask me for help if he needs and still be able to wear the "man pants"in the family. I want to have a man that protects me and makes me feel safe, but I don't want a man that tries to control everything.
I think that I have found the physically and mentally strong man in my life. There is a difference between strong and controling. I have found a great person that is strong enough to let me be me and not get crazy about the little things that make me who I am........like flirting. He is strong enough in himself and us that it doesn't make him go weak and crazy.

Good stuff.. Me. I'm glad to hear things are moving forward for you. I think that word control is a huge one in a lot of relationships. When you can finally get to the point where you don't WANT to control everybody and dictate situations, life becomes real easy. Be who you are and risk the vulnerability of just loving people without expecting anything in return. You have no "control" over anything or anyone anyway.

I want someone who is not controlling of who I can see and what I can do. Like my last marriage, but I want some one who is strong mentally and will be able to take care of me and things tht affect me. Gosh this is hard to put into words. I do know what the other women have said is right. And things you said Falcon. I guess if I ever meet a strong man I will know it. So far I haven't had the luck to find a strong man. Only the controlling kind. When they start telling me when I can go pee, I am out of there.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave, leave, don't leave
I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
So try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?
My man......
Are you strong enough? (to be my man....)
Are you strong enough?
Are you strong enough? (my.....man)
When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Would you be man enough to be my man?
Lie to me
I promise, I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave
Basically, I think this means, If you can deal with all of the things I am, good and bad, Lie to me means tell me it's gonna be ok even if your not sure, without Giving up and Walking out, Your strong enough to be my man.
xoxoPeaches.

For me, a strong man doesn't necessarily have to be muscle-bound.......he should have the courage of his convictions.......to say what he means & mean what he says...... to maintain loyalty & honor.....strong enough to cry when he needs to & not to turn his back when someone needs his shoulder.......so many traits that make up a strong man...... & it doesn't include muscle.

a strong man... well someone that can handle me, the kids, my family, his family, work, friends, activities and still have the strenght for a good night of loving. Someone that wants to be there and doesn't mind doing all the honeydos and that is not so strong that he cant relate. and yes someone that know when to STFU! But I think a strong woman needs to be able to do the same things.

Peachess, you just said it. I wasn't strong enough in my last relationship. I hope I get stronger for my next one.
