Strength Is Sexy

There’s just something sexy about a strong woman.

Now, I know that some men still crave the doe-eyed damsel-in-distress, and yes men do want to ride in that white horse and be a hero, but the times they are a change’n.

The problem is that the damsels look good on paper, but not in practice. Damsels need to be protected, catered to, and basically coddled. The fact is they don’t have an identity beyond that of the damsel role. Do you think Nell and Duddley Do-right really had much to talk about after Nell was rescued from Snidely Whiplash? (Personally, I liked Rocky & Bullwinkle better…)

A woman must be strong; strong enough to defend her self and strong enough to have a personality that goes beyond that of a mere plot point. (Yeah, I’m talk’n to you Princess Toadstool). She should be willing and able to fight her own battles and not back down.




Unfortunately there are a lot of men out there that are still looking for damsels; strong women often intimidate these men. The reason behind this intimidation is that these guys are defining themselves as strong in comparison to someone else’s weakness. In other words, the stronger the woman, the weaker the man. Regrettably this is a common characteristic in the majority of men; thus the reason strong women are often single.




The only solution I can see to solve this conflict of strength in relationships would be a dual-sex evolution. Women would need to embrace their strength and men would need to learn a self-definition beyond that of strength.

Unfortunately I don’t see any evolutionary changes on the horizon.
