7 cosas que debes saber sobre una mujer fuerte e independiente

No nos importa ser solteros

For some reason, men simply can’t realise that some women out there do not need them.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that we want to be alone forever and that we will push away any kind of love and affection someone shows us.

But we don’t need a man to be happy. How many times do I have to say that there are so many important things in life that we pursue rather than a relationship?

If we do find someone who’s interesting, a someone we could fall in love with, than we will give up our single life. Until then, nos parece bien estar solteros.

No damos miedo

If being strong and independent intimidates you, then that’s your problem.

Being able to express our thoughts and being able to say what we want in life isn’t something people should be scared of.

I can hear people constantly saying that I shouldn’t be like this because no man will ever date me.

Me dicen que a los hombres les encanta ser los líderes y que las mujeres deben ser seguidoras.

But let me just tell you that I don’t want to change myself to please any standard. If that’s what intimidates you, then fine. Sólo un hombre de verdad puede estar con una mujer fuerte.

Somos muy inteligentes

Cada fuerte la mujer es muy inteligente. It’s seen in the way she handles life and the people around her.

Sabemos cómo manejar situaciones inesperadas, cómo planificar nuestros días para sacarles el máximo partido e incluso cómo reparar cosas en nuestras casas.

This might also be one of the things that men get intimidated by because for some reason, if we don’t ask anything from you, you automatically get insulted and you get the feeling that you are not wanted.

Just because we don’t need you to perform an oil change doesn’t mean that we don’t want you to be in our lives.

We don’t give value to material things

You should never come to a strong and independent woman telling her that you would like to spoil her with gifts. Don’t spoil her with gifts, spoil her with loyalty.

Hay cosas que son mucho más importantes que las cosas materiales.

If you don’t know how to treat a woman well and all you do is make her feel worthless and unloved, then we won’t stand for it.

Si realmente quieres una mujer fuerte en tu vida, actúa así. Tienes que tratarnos bien.

Empoderamos a otras mujeres

We don’t find other women to be a threat but rather an inspiration to us and to other people around them. Every strong woman should be admired and we live by that!

We can learn so much from each other, so why should we compete for something when there’s enough in this world for all of us?

Suficiente éxito, suficientes trabajos increíbles y suficientes hombres.

We don’t need jealousy in our lives and we don’t need you to tell us to competir con otras mujeres por la razón que sea. Tenemos cosas mucho mejores que hacer.

We are not ‘cold’

Just because we don’t chase you and we are not clingy doesn’t mean that we’re not interested. We simply don’t find time to chase someone around.

De hecho, estamos muy criaturas emocionales y vulnerables. Cuando nos enamoramos de un hombre, nos enamoramos con fuerza y haremos cualquier cosa para hacerte feliz.

But we don’t have to jump around you to make sure you know that we’re interested.

We also want to be loved, protected and appreciated—we just don’t want to lose ourselves in the process.

Somos difíciles de amar

Because of the fact that we have learned how to solve all our problems on our own, it’s hard for us to actually let someone in.

We can’t remember that it’s fine if we depend on someone sometimes and that’s why even when we’re sick, we don’t accept help from our partners.

It’s like a curse when you want and need someone to love and treat you well, but you simply don’t let them.

This doesn’t mean that you should give up on loving us, but rather that you should realise that we’re difficult and that tienes que entendernos.
