Why are men attracted to powerful women ?

Why do men fall for a certain type of woman ?

Having my heart broken by my Cuban Shot Putter, I was then attracted to Condoleezza Rice – Condi Rice , a spicy and heady dish for any man.. But I discovered she is gay.

Now, in the last few days, along comes another Aphrodite – Tzipi Livni .. A blonde former Mossad secret agent with a smile that could destroy a thousand battle tanks..

I don’t know if we have any future together, but I ask myself the question.

Why am I attracted to powerful women ?

So much cynacism. Have you never been in love ???

So it didn't work out with my Cuban Shot Putter, and perhaps Tzipi is out of my league, but I will always hold out hope..

Well, gotta admit I like Livni’s smile. But I do hate all what she stands for! Sorry I'm Egyptian with an awful war history where one of my own family members were gone as a result of 73 war.

Once Israel cleans its hands and backs off, I’ll be more than ready a to shake hands with LIVNI herself...I'll introduce you to her, if you like..:))

I have not met many men who admire powerful women for partnership. Some men get frightened they’d not be up to their women's level of confidence and prudence.

I do admire men who're capable of handling decision-making charismatic women. Those are the ones, I think, not whimsical and can be trusted to hold up against life hardships, because they don’t have jealousy and they will support their women all the way up.

So, good luck with the heart affairs.

Amoud - "Many men here find strong confident women intimidating so for them to deal with their inadequacy they push us aside, or make our working lives miserable in hopes we show our emotions so a finger can be pointed..."

- Very true for most men EXCEPT for the men who are confident themselves. There is a very big difference.

/Edit - ... And a very fine line between self confidence and arrogance.

dms - "Why, Brit, are there any other kind of women,in this world except "powerful" one? What do you think of their partners?"

- meaning that their partners would be thought of as wusses or "hen-pecked"? Lol! Hmm.. maybe but there are exceptions to the general rule.

Answers to thread title:-

a) my colleague says his wife can beat anyone to a pulp, so there we have it. Security and protection. ;0)

b) sugar momma so he can be a bum. (Not you, of course, britexpat)

c) dominatrix for the kinky (weird) ones; and

d) gypsy is right for the rest /the decent guys generally.

Perhaps it is all you secure men... but I find it is very hard to get any recognition here in Qatar as a woman. I have to work 10 times harder, be 10 times better than my male counterparts but still get less. Many men here find strong confident women intimidating so for them to deal with their inadequacy they push us aside, or make our working lives miserable in hopes we show our emotions so a finger can be pointed...

Sorry all, perhaps I am a bit bitter on this subject but have been dealing with it for a decade now. _____________________________________________________
