Independent women


Q from a female, senior from Rutgers University: wants to know…Men claim they are looking for independent women, yet when they get involved with one they often can't handle it and run away. Why?

Dr. Caron's Answer: This is complicated. Some men may be genuinely interested in a relationship with an independent woman, while others may say they are and realize later they are really not. Keep in mind: We don't always look for what we really want; our desires may be elsewhere. It may be popular or "politically correct" to say you want an independent woman. In addition, we don't always consciously know what we really want.
