If I would have notices this pattern in the males on this forum... I would be questioning them now(instead of the gals). To me the concept of women and men being independent from one another is idiotic and ilogical.

The pattern of males on this forum is the same as you in that YOU ALL HATE WOMEN.

Stay calm... calm now.... don't get angry... calm... calm... okay... great job
Now getting back to the subject: We have diferent definition of "considering yourself independent".
Your definition is having to deal with a situation in which life has put you in... and have no male help.
My definition is considering you can do better without male help.

I think that YOU have a problem with the possibility that your girlfriend could leave you. Hence your jealous rage at another guy flirting with her. So you'd like to wish and think that your girlfriend is totally dependent on you.

I voted mostly independent because somethimes I need to call a man/friend to fix something or carry/lift something heavy.

A lot of times I know HOW to fix something, but I am not strong enough to do it myself.

THIS is what your attitude is when you’re conducting a study?

I think your question has to be worded differently, it's kind of confusing. Noone can be "emotionally" independent from another human being, we're wired to crave intimacy and affection. Only someone else can give us that (and then again, those needs can be satisfied in different ways). But a lot of women are financially independent from men. There are also a lot of women who because of life circumstances find themselves alone (i.e. a widow).
