i keep seeing "Independent" on gals profiles. i figure this question is for fellas mostly but i also figure a few gals will chime in. fellas!! have ya ever really met a truely independent gal? you know, the one that tells you to get a life when you offer advice. a gal who never says "honey do". if anybody would know, it would be a fella. i ain't met her yet but i ain't giving up my search. but, then again there ain't a whole lot of independent fellas out there. LOL it seems i may be kicking against the pricks here! i have all my hopes pinned on a tall redhead. logic implies that is where society demands independence. tall redheads gotta fight for what they want. short fluffy blond cheerleaders just got to spread um. LOL we be jammin

Independent does not mean we do want or need someone in our lives.
It simply means we can function on our own.
for a relationship to be successful, each person needs to keep their individuality (independence if you want to call it that), but also be very dependent on one another. This is the deepest form of connection.

Oh Yeah!!!!!!! 
One of the biggest mistakes of my life was that I blew it with her!!!...not because I couldn't handle it...I not only could but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Nope, I was young and dumb and not ready to settle down.
My Bad!!!

Yep I'm independent and that means I can fend for myself. I don't need a man to take care of me. I'd like a man in my life however. But I don't need someone to take care of bills, repairs, etc. I've been doing that on my own for a long time.
Independent means you want, don't need, someone.

That's just plain damn rude and insulting to those independent short fluffy blondes who are intelligent and can get what they want and need without "putting out"

Willow.........you flirting again?
I think many women are independant these days. Financially and in every way really. They only need a man to exchange chores with. *YOU do the garden/ mow the lawn and wash the cars honey.......and i'll clean house and make you a nice meal.
Also....for companionship....someone to watch tv with .....go out with.....and chat to now and then. And for the night time bed-treats. Other than that......we could survive without one........ (jesting of course.....I could throw in a few extras.........lol). And I guess a man is more life like than those male rubber dolls they are making nowadays..........

I think most of us really want to be 'interdependent' even if we are 'independent' right now. What the heck is life about if not about sharing the chores, the good, the bad and the ugly?
Those tall redheads who have it all covered are probably too busy covering everything to be bothered with someone who doesn't think they're worth some effort. I actually have a friend who'd fit Jerry's requirements to a tee - 5'10", very athletic, extremely intelligent, mid-40's. She doesn't date anyone who's older than she is and wants someone who's at least as intelligent, motivated and ambitious as she is. She's an ex-Air Force meterologist who's into hiking mountain trails, playing tennis and working her butt off to make a good living and she's looking for the same...as I think most of that description would be. She's right on the verge of being qualified as a massage therapist, so she has a second career that could be a fallback if the first one crumbles. She's picky because she can be and has to be, to meet the demands of her life.

I would think one would rather have a woman who can think and act on her own than one who can't function without you. It would seem to me that not being independent would either smother the other person, or cause boredom (because that person would only want to do what you do). I personally like relationships where both of us can breathe.
