- Me me me! I *loathe* those women who are so damned 'sorted out' that they
- don't need me or any goddam man in their lives.
-
- Or, what do people *mean* by 'independent'? Can run a country? Can run a
- multi-million dollar company? Can live on their own? Can go shopping on their
- own? Can go to the bathroom on their own? What does it *mean*?
-
- To me, I would call a woman 'independent' if she could take or leave a
- relationship with a man. This sort of woman is not for me. I want one who
- would love me, want me and *need* me. I would want to reciprocate.
-
- Does 'need me' mean she isn't independent? If I 'need her' too? Does it
- mean I have low self-esteem?
-
- Bah! I *loathe* 'independent' women. And I resent the assumption in this
- group that you are a wimp if this is the case.
