Let's toast to understanding and supporting each other! |
Fellahs----You’ve managed to create a relationship with the strong woman in your life who may love you, but you might be wondering how to keep her tough heart (which toughness is due to BAD experiences from her past) bonded to yours. It can be a daunting task to allow a strong woman all the freedom she needs to spread her wings, while making sure that her heart belongs to you alone.
This challenging balancing act is easier than it sounds as long as you can avoid some seriously unacceptable behavior. Let’s discuss some things that your strong woman will never tolerate.
1. Disrespect
Did you really think I would accept that from you or anyone? |
Disrespect for a strong woman could be anything from telling her that she throws ‘like a girl’ to disagreeing with her opinion in a belittling way. It could be your disagreement that women deserve equal pay for equal work to your tone when you say something you thought was a compliment.
Following the Golden Rule is to treat her the way you would want to be treated. Even better than that is to treat her the way she wants to be treated. You aren’t a mind-reader, most likely, so the easiest way to avoid treating her disrespectfully is to ask her how she would like to be treated.
2. Dominating the relationship
You will be doing those things by yourself! |
Strong women know how to take the lead, when to be in control and when to be vulnerable and they can do all of it without you telling them what to do. To be in a relationship with a strong woman, you have to let her be in the drivers seat frequently.
3. Treating her with inequality
Treat the strong woman in your relationship as your equal in every way, and if she needs your help, trust her to ask for it. Make your relationship a level playing field, regardless of your income, education, ethnicity, gender, political affiliation, social status, etc. and your strong woman will appreciate the respect that you’re giving her.
4. Breaking her boundaries
I said "NO" you better learn to respect my decisions! |
A strong woman knows her personal limits, values, morals, and beliefs and she knows where to draw the line. Don’t push her boundaries or you will feel her anger.
5. A negative attitude toward her suggestions
Everyone can have periods of negativity and they will reject their partner’s ideas, but a strong woman will never tolerate someone who is always negative about her wonderful suggestions.
6. Not supporting her dreams or her heart

Thank you for supporting the things that I want in my life! |
Not being supported is stressful for both men and women, however the strong women are more socially active than men, which meant that they would have even higher levels of stress if they didn’t have the emotional support of their friends.
7. Emotional constipation
Well he didn't know I was really paying attention to everything not just the things he thought he was showing me! |
-Independence of decision-making
- communicating emotions to form a deep, intimate connection to their partner.
These two qualities are also desirable in a relationship with a strong heterosexual woman as well.
Women possess higher emotional intelligence than most men do. As a result, they are able to pick up on the subtle body language, tone, and verbal cues that reveal hidden emotions.
