If strong women intimidate weak men, then why can't strong women attract strong men? I'll Wait.

It should go without saying that a strong woman attracts a strong man, right? That's not always true. The Facebook meme "Strong Women Intimidate Weak Men" was posted in one of my Facebook groups, and that sparked a big debate. My writing style is diverse: I can take tweets and turn them into topics, and the same goes for Facebook memes and just regular thoughts others post. My question is: If strong women intimidate weak men, why can't strong women attract strong men? The reality is that strong women are drawn to weak men because she can control him. If you can control a weak person, you can get them to do your bidding with no resistance. A strong man doesn't go for a so-called strong woman's attitude/nonsense. If she can't get right, she will get left. A strong man knows his worth just like a strong woman does. You'd think both strong (wo)men are good for each other (which is true in many cases), but that's not always the case.
All strong men aren't attracted to strong women. The reason is that some strong women use being strong as an excuse to show their behinds. You know the combative, belligerent, ghetto types who think a man is supposed to take whatever she dishes out. A strong woman knows her worth, but doesn't have to flex on others. She knows when to speak up, and when to remain silent. Above all else, a strong woman uses her strength to empower other women. To me, that's a strong woman. Maybe another reason strong women can't attract strong men is that she doesn't desire one. Not every strong woman needs a strong man by her side, and that's fine. Sometimes, a woman can be let down by men too many times that she doesn't want to deal with some men's craziness, so she chooses peace of mind over finding a strong man. Sometimes, you have to be strong for yourself & not others.
