Dating strong, independent women is tough, but worth it. Here are some things you need to know.
——
Being a straightforward woman comes with its fair share of struggles, but they are so worth it.
We’re the females who are taking the bull by the horns and making a name for ourselves in the office and at the party.
We’re always a good time. We’re rough around the edges, but that just makes us all the more mesmerizing.
Dating a straightforward woman can be tough, but if you can manage it, you are a man who is opening himself up to a much more interesting world. We’re luminous ladies.
Going into a romantic relationship with a woman who will give it to you straight will only increase your bond because we are here to give you the truth.
In the end, we’ll both benefit because where there is real sh*t, there is good sh*t.
With all that being said, there are some things you should know about dating us fabulous divas.
1. We have a very low tolerance for BS.
There is very little that will get past a straightforward woman. Don’t try to play us. We’ve already mastered every single game you could throw our way.
We won’t accept anything that isn’t 100 percent real because we just don’t have the time or patience to deal with your crap.
2. We don’t believe in making in excuses.
Don’t try to make excuses for your behavior because that will get you nowhere with an Alpha female.
If you want to keep your head, it’s better to just own up to the fact that you made a mistake.
If we’re mad at you, we’re not going to beat around the bush — we will tell you.
We believe in getting sh*t done, not making up reasons we didn’t get sh*t done. Follow suit.
3. We are completely fearless.
Nothing scares us. We can be pretty f*cking intimidating, and we will never apologize for it.
We are proud, amazing, fabulous women, and nothing will ever bring us down. We go after what we want, and we always get it.
4. We will often be shameless perpetrators when it comes to TMI.
When we have something to say, we will say it. We’re not ashamed of anything we do, and we don’t care what anyone thinks about our actions or choices.
We may have a hard time keeping things to ourselves because we like to talk about ourselves. If you can’t hang, go ahead and leave.
5. We will put you in your place if you attempt to put us down.
I suggest being careful about what you say to a forceful woman because if you try to put us down in any way, shape or form, we will hand you your ass.
Above all else, our confidence shines through.
If you try to get sly with that disrespect, you will be sorry. We are queens and have no time to waste with the opinions of peasants.
6. We don’t back down in arguments.
We will always stand true to our beliefs. We are very stubborn. If we’re in a fight, we’re going to stand our ground.
On the flip side, we’re self-aware enough to know when we’ve acted in error, and if you approach us with logic and civility, any conflict can be resolved like mature adults.
7. We are not afraid to hurt your feelings.
We’re going to say whatever we feel like saying, and it’s going to be completely true.
You may have a problem with accepting what we tell you, but sorry buddy, we aren’t here to tiptoe around and make you feel comfortable.
8. We don’t give a f*ck if people love us or hate us.
We’re still an obsession, regardless. Haters are always going to hate. We know that.
We aren’t sitting around trying to please anyone but ourselves. We have bigger fish to fry.
9. We’re not afraid to be more successful than you.
We’re standout stars in our careers. We own life, and we own the boardroom.
You shouldn’t be threatened by our successes; you should be proud we’re making bank and taking no prisoners.
We may occasionally put our careers before you, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love you. We just have priorities, and that’s a good thing.
10. We will always give it to you straight.
We will tell you what you need to hear, and you will be a stronger person for it. If you ask for the truth, you’re going to get it.
We aren’t rude, we’re just real. We don’t beat around the bush because that won’t get you or us anywhere.
11. We want sex, and we will ask for it.
We know what we want, and we ask for it. We’re sexually adventurous women, and we are not going to play the damsel in distress.
If we’re feeling frisky, we are going to pounce. You’ll get laid often, and we will all be happy.
12. We’re bosses, not bitches.
There will never be a time when we’re not hustling. We may be aggressive, but that doesn’t make us bitches.
It just makes us the strong, independent women who rule the world. Women are the fiercest beings to behold.
We will grab both life, and you, by the balls.

Who wants to date such Bitches. get lost. there are plenty of nice girls out there.
“11. We want sex, and we will ask for it.”
Unless we’re asexual and not interested in sex. Then we’ll be happy to tell you to go f**k yourself.
I consider myself a strong woman, but I also consider myself 3 dimensional. A true strong PERSON has fears and isn’t afraid to admit to them–when we can’t do something or don’t know something we speak up. Having an ability to show vulnerability, without turning into a shivering mess is true strength. Same goes for actually giving a f*** if those in your life love or hate you, despite what this article states. Most strong people only let a few people close enough to see the softer side, so when we do we hold on. Strong people also have this… Read more »
Seriously, please STOP reposting from Elite Daily. They basically get their content from recycled Taylor Swift songs.
I know, right?!
I feel stupid for having read this article.
I cannot agree with you two enough. I’d hate to be with a man like this and I’d hate to be this! I don’t see anything in this article worthy of GMP. I know you’ve been poaching and reblogging some utter turdish articles lately, but come on. Is there no one operating as a filter over there? This is atrocious! I can tell you all about being a strong and independent woman. But I’m afraid it looks nothing like this… Those things are NOT opposites to kind, considerate, even diplomatic! This girl sounds like she wants a doormat, not a… Read more »
Oops I forgot to add my **’s mostly, apologies. Most replies are under the headline of the point bar a couple that have included the detail. I posted when I was *OMG* wrong, and now I’ve *OMG* been wrong by saying my comments have *’s. But I’ll never admit that to the peasants, har har! (that’s sarcastic in case you can’t tell)…
Ugggghhhhh
Damn You should write an article for GMP. Nicely nicely said.
Thank you! That’s what I was thinking.
Well Ms Straightforward woman… its clear you have no use for me… and thusly.. I have no interest in you.
Why do I have this feeling this “straightforward woman” would be classified as “arrogant dickhead” if the gender was swapped?
The arrogance in this piece borders on the delusional.
Agreed. I was raised by a “straightforward” woman. I have no qualms these days describing the dark side of that– the emotional abuse, the constant criticism, and other maternal abuse, and some bad habits of gossiping to boot. I have three younger sisters, who are all just as fiercely independent, but at least 2 of them have minced no words in telling me they thought Mom’s attitude and behavior was abusive. They all admit, albeit sometimes reluctantly, that they are like their mother. Don’t get me wrong; I do appreciate a woman that speaks her mind and lets me know… Read more »
