Strong Women Have These Special Qualities

Thank God that the myths about stronger and weaker sexes disappeared long ago. Equality has been achieved, at least on paper, and should no longer require any discussion. At work, the conditions for women are equal to those for men. In private life however, a strong woman sometimes still causes insecurity among men.

Strength has nothing to do with muscle power or endurance. Even a brash masculine appearance is not to be confused with true strength. Strong women are usually aware of the threat they pose to a conservative environment. Therefore the characteristics that they consistently display are, upon closer examination, only those that bring advantages to everyone. You'll discover all about them in this article.

1. They Are Independent

Strong women like to stand on their own feet as they proceed through life. They don't need financial or societal assistance, and prefer to be their own team. Their sense of self-worth does not suffer if there is no partnership or relationship in sight. A strong woman is self-reliant. Therefore, she’d rather be demanding than unhappy when choosing a partner.

2. They Are Creative

Strong women seek and find the solutions to their problems on their own. Of course they seek advice and listen to experts, but basically gut feeling and intuition form adequate bases for their decision-making. Creativity is one of the many pleasant side effects of living independently. If you can't ask others for help all the time, you will sooner or later become a true expert in all Do-It-Yourself situations.

3. They Communicate

Strong women know what they want and declare it clearly. You will rarely be left in the dark about what moves them, what they think, or how they feel. But the result is not just hot air, nor are they typically given to whining and lamenting. They are given to making clear declarations. The big advantage in these 21st century women is that no one has to guess any longer about what they want. They are clear and precise about what they want.

4. They Take Care of Themselves

Self-care and a healthy dose of self-love are top priorities for strong women. This trait may sometimes seem selfish to critical outside observers. However, strength occasionally needs regeneration and rest. If you want to achieve great things confidently and successfully every day, you must not neglect the maintenance and upkeep of your body, mind, and soul, otherwise even the strongest woman may sooner or later run out of breath.

5. They Know Their Goals

Strong women know what they want and how to get it. They may be accused of ambition, elbowing, and domination. Basically, it's simply pursuing their goals with consistency and persistence. Men would be admired and applauded for that. Women are still confronted with the accusation of being too aggressive.

However, such behavior usually only appears when someone wants to prevent them from achieving their goals. Whether men or other women, those who attempt to block strong women should be prepared for a strong reaction.

6. They Need Time for Themselves

Strong women don't depend on the company of others; they need and take respites from social activity. For their male partners, this behavior is sometimes particularly difficult to understand, and is often interpreted as rejection and emotional coldness. If you allow your partner this time out, however, you will be rewarded in return with loyalty and support, as well as devoted quality time together.

7. They Want Transparency

Nobody likes to live in uncertainty. However, many women dare not speak plainly for fear of the consequences. Strong women, on the other hand, know: Things never get better by keeping quiet and sweeping things under the rug. Moreover, if you clear up problems right from the beginning, you may save yourself a lot of time, trouble, and useless work. Strong women like to be efficient, even when it comes to organizing their private lives.

Clear words may seem intimidating to many men at the beginning. However, if you look at the matter with a clear mind, you'll be glad about the transparency. In fact, the opposite of this is the typical passive-aggressive behavioral traits that insecure women like to use as weapons in relationships—for example, the silent treatment followed by snide remarks later. By contrast a strong woman makes a clear announcement right from the beginning of a problem.

8. They Notice When There’s Sand in the Gears

Strong women are very attentive to their environment. They notice changes in people and situations very quickly. Especially in relationships, they have a real nose for when the wind has changed. By the way, the statistics prove them right. In 4 out of 5 cases, strange behavior by a partner indicates that an affair is ongoing.

Their preference for clear words will also let them maneuver through such situations confidently and wisely, and draw the right conclusions. If the uncertainty cannot, or will not be cleared up, she will not hesitate but draw the conclusions and implement the consequences. Wasting time and resources is not for her.

9. They Protect Themselves from Injury

Strong women rarely just fall out of the sky. They’ve learned the most important lessons of their lives the hard way. For the future, they draw their conclusions and approach people more thoughtfully and cautiously. Their alarm bells ring when they are confronted with half-truths or outright lies. They also almost immediately recognize attempts to change their minds and manipulate them.

With new acquaintances, they therefore keep their distance and their guard up until they have been able to gain a certain basic trust. Their radar works perfectly, which is why strong women also go through life as single more often than average. They live by the motto "Better alone than in bad company" consciously and without regret.

10. They Go Through Life Positively

Complaining doesn't help, but an optimistic attitude does. Strong women know about the law of attraction. Those who are happy and content continue to see happiness and contentment consistently in their lives. They do not often carry bad moods to the outside world.

First, their pride would not allow it. Second, it would make them vulnerable and weak. And third, they are convinced that everyone is the architect of their own happiness. So if you go through life with a positive attitude, you will rarely attract negative things. This simple law could also be understood as one of the recipes for success of strong women.

Today’s Conclusion

Many prejudices obstruct the way for strong women. Hostile to men, cool and distant, arrogant, vain, and ruthless are just some of the characterizations that strong women still have to contend with in their professional and private lives. As soon as some men feel they are not needed, they give up quite quickly.

In the process, however, they miss out on so many opportunities. Persistent, strong, trustworthy men who measure up to strong women will become loved, wanted, and hotly desired partners. That's it for today.
