Who is the most strongwilled? (men, woman, father, people)

[SuperC]

Men or woman?

I really think woman is, for example my sister is much more than me, woman simply don't like to loose or give up on something. I think men know where to stop, but women not always.

Women are sneaky and clever... They somehow manage to get their way, but make the man think it was his idea!

I think it depends. I married a woman who spun webs the first time. I am with a woman who doesn't play games. My ex-wife has put me in a situation where I am strong willed. I am alot stronger than my ex-wife at this point. She has it all (so to speak) and I have nothing. Yet I live STRONG.

Again, you won't find out how strong you are until you need to be. I don't think it is a gender thing.

If women are sneaky and clever, what are we? Honest and dumb?

I don't think anyone that truly wants to understand people can learn by generally assigning traits across broad categories like "men and women." For every trait you identify in one, I can point to in another.

Would you say something equally broad, like: Which people like ice cream more: blue eyed, or brown eyed? It's ridiculous.

My father had the will to push himself to continue to learn and overcome obstacles until he gained each goal he set for himself until the day he died. My mother turned tail and skipped to the next open door each time she came to a difficulty. My sister is like my dad, but me, not so much.

If you truly want to understand strong-will, examine individuals with strong will, and those with weak wills, and then see what factors are common to each groups lives collectively to see if there is correlation. That might point you in the direction of some real learning, but even then you have to understand that correlation is not cause.

It would be an interesting experiment to conduct, but do you have the strength of will to do it?

It does come down to the individual I think.

My wife is as strong willed as anyone I have ever met. She knows what she wants and by gosh she doesn't give up until she get's it. And I mean that in a good way. She has goals and she's meeting them.
