I saw this many times in dating profiles by women and I just don't understand what this means.

Can you provide sentences with actual words used that describe scenarios where a women is
1. Challenged.
2. Not Challenged.

I think with examples it will help me understand.

Thanks.

Are they using it as an adjective, with other words?

Like "math-challenged"?

We need examples from YOU.

I don't have any idea what context those words are being used in in a dating profile. So it's difficult to say.

No idea. Not sure how it's used in the context of dating. Sure wasn't something I'd say in this context.

If somebody's describing themselves as _____challenged in some way, the may be indicating a disability. Or, they may be using a tongue-in-cheek euphemism ("height-challenged" versus "short.")

If someone's using it the context such as "Looking for a partner who doesn't mind being challenged," it could be an indication that they are a strong personality type, have been described as argumentative, consider themselves "people who speak their minds," etc.

Just a few possibilities. I"m not sure how else it would come up.

Maybe they mean it in a sense of being driven? "I feel challenged do all I can to feed the poor." for example.

Thick, not smart, want to find their match so they can feel challenged with whatever characteristic or trait they find attractive such as intellect for example.......

In short I've no bloody idea

I have seen where women have mentioned they are looking for men who are looking for a CHALLENGE! In other words, you are going to have to come correct, with some serious game and really impress them.
