Men, Women, Confidence...



I followed an interesting discussion on LinkedIn this week that asked the question 'Are men scared of confident women?' Well, as you can imagine there were plenty of thoughts to go around!

So are men scared of confident women? I don't think scared is the right word. In fact most men that I have spoken with about the subject love confident women however it is whether the woman allows her vulnerabilities and femininity to hold space that impacts the male thinking. 

If in being confident you, as a woman, feel the need to take charge of everything in your life, every minute of your life, that can be a turn off. And this is not about your capabilities, it's just about allowing someone else to stand beside you and take over the reigns from time to time without you thinking you are showing signs of a lack of confidence for letting them do that. There is still, in most men, the need to be the hunter, the provider and they can be those things without having a detrimental effect on a woman's confidence. 

Being confident enough to let someone else lead is a strength not a weakness in my opinion. What's your opinion?
