You Won’t Be Bored

If you’re in a relationship with an strong, successful woman, you can be certain of a number of things, least of which will be that things are unlikely to ever be boring.

She has chosen to be with you, so obviously you’re interesting enough to have captured her attention (and her heart), neither of which she gives out easily, so that’s already a boon in your favor.

Below are eight things that your independent lady will bring to your partnership, whether you’re ready for them or not. Brace yourself.

1. Zero drama.

A smiling couple leans close to each other, their faces almost touching. The woman has long blonde hair, wears a white sleeveless top, and gold earrings. The man, with dark hair and a beard, is in a salmon-colored shirt. Both look very happy. The background is softly lit.

As has been established, strong, successful women have neither the time, nor the patience for games or passive-aggressive nonsense.

As such, you know you’re never going to have to deal with her giving you the silent treatment, or slamming doors, or pulling the whole “if you don’t know what you did wrong, I’m not going to tell you” crap that a lot of people inflict on one another.

She’s also unlikely to hold a grudge, so when you two quarrel, you can resolve issues there and then and move on, as she’s not the type to keep rehashing old ugliness forever just for the sake of drama.

Once it’s over, it’s over. End of.

2. Total reliability.

A man and woman are holding hands while walking on a bridge during sunset. The man, wearing a red T-shirt and beige shorts, has long dreadlocks. The woman, dressed in a white tank top, plaid shirt tied at the waist, and denim shorts, is smiling at him. A car is visible in the background.

If you’ve ever been in a relationship in which you haven’t been able to depend upon your partner to really be there for you when you needed them, then it’s understandable that you might be a bit wary about truly trusting your partner.

Well, fear not, you can count on her.

Strong, successful women value and appreciate integrity, and often hold themselves to a much higher standard than they would others.

If you need her, she’s there for you. If she makes a promise, she will keep it unless she’s incapacitated. If it’s her turn to pick up the kids, or if she agreed to attend your cousin’s accordion recital, she’ll be there.

Early…

With snacks.

Furthermore, you can feel secure in the knowledge that if she has made a commitment to be your partner, that means she is your partner in all ways.

She will hold her own, whether in terms of finances or home maintenance—and is unlikely to ever allow inequality to seep into any aspect of your partnership.

3. Sincerity, not neediness.

A man with wavy blonde hair wearing a green jacket and a white shirt smiles at a woman with long blonde hair wearing a black jacket and a white shirt. They are outside, with blurred buildings in the background.

You realize that she’s with you because she wants to be with you, and not because she needs to be, right?

You may have some insecurities about being with such a powerful creature, but guess what? She chose you. She doesn’t NEED you.

She’s not desperate for a partner, she’s not settling with just anyone so that she’s not alone.

In fact, she’s just fine flying solo, and would rather be alone than with someone she’s not perfectly happy with.

This isn’t a woman who’s going to whine when you go out with your friends because she misses you when you’re gone for an hour, nor is she unable to function without you being her pillar of support.

She might need you to be there for her during times of crisis, as she would be there for you, but it’s as an equal. Not a ragdoll desperate to be carried and coddled.

4. Encouragement.

A couple takes a break while renovating, sitting on the floor by a wall. Both are wearing casual clothes and work gloves. The man is offering the woman a drink, and they both look happy and relaxed. Renovation tools and paint supplies are scattered around them.

She won’t allow you to make up lame excuses about why you’re not pursuing your goals.

This woman is aware of your potential and knows what you’re capable of—traits that likely drew her to you to begin with.

If you find yourself in a slump, discouraged, and lacking motivation to pursue a dream or other pursuit, she will be the torch bearer who keeps the flame burning under your backside to keep you going.

5. Self-reliance.

A couple is leaning on a kitchen counter, smiling and looking at each other. The woman holds a tablet, and two plates of food along with two glasses of red wine are placed on the counter. The kitchen background is bright and modern.

If you’ve always dreamed of being the knight in shining armor to a damsel in distress, that’s not what you’re going to find in this partnership.

Your woman isn’t a princess in need of saving—she’s a queen who saves herself, and will set things on fire in her wake if need be.

You’re unlikely to get a call in the middle of the night because she needs you to come and pick her up from some kind of weird situation, though if she’s pregnant, she MIGHT ask you to drive her to the hospital when her contractions have started.

Her bag will already be packed, however, so you won’t need to worry about that.

Oh, and the baby seat will already be installed in your car, because she will have taken care of that too.

6. Awareness of what she wants (plus reciprocation).

A woman and a man are relaxing on a bed. The woman is sitting up with a smile, leaning on a pillow. She is wearing a white tank top and floral print pants. The man is lying on his back with his hands resting behind his head, wearing a white t-shirt and blue pants.

Your woman has a pretty solid awareness of what she likes, whether it’s a moderately toasted bagel with just a bit of onion cream cheese on it, or a specific position when you’re being intimate.

Particularly the latter.

Not only does this lady know what makes her squeal, she has no qualms whatsoever about telling you what’s needed to make it happen.

Just as awesomely, strong, successful women tend to enjoy giving as much as receiving, so you can be quite certain that if you tell her what you like in turn, she’ll oblige enthusiastically.

After all, what’s the point of intimacy if both people aren’t enjoying themselves?

7. Support.

A woman with long red hair embraces a bearded man wearing a blue striped shirt, both looking contemplative and serious. They are indoors, in a well-lit room with a calm, soft background. The scene conveys a sense of comfort and support.

In a relationship with a strong, successful woman, you have her support and her strength in whatever life may throw at you.

This isn’t a woman who will back away from difficulty—she’ll be by your side through the hard times, be that through illness, family deaths, emotional hardship, or any other number of trials you might face.

She’s not the type to cut and run when things get real, but will, instead, stand up and face whatever you’re facing, as your partner.

She might even yell at your boss for you, if that’s what is needed. Just sayin’.

8. Complete honesty.

A man with a beard and a woman wearing sunglasses are sitting at an outdoor café, smiling and enjoying drinks. The man is wearing a light blue polo shirt, and the woman is wearing a white T-shirt. They appear to be having a pleasant conversation.

This one is extraordinarily important when it comes to a relationship with this kind of woman.

We’ve reiterated how much this lady values integrity, and honesty in the relationship—and with her—is just as vital.

When you’re involved with a woman like this, know that you’re not just going to find out one day that things haven’t been working for a while, or that she’s been getting jiggy with your boss behind your back.

9. Commitment to making it work.

A middle-aged couple sits on a white couch engaged in conversation. The man, with gray hair, is wearing a white shirt, and the woman, with blonde hair, is wearing a light blue striped shirt. Shelves with glassware are visible in the background.

If there are issues in your relationship that need to be worked on, she’ll be honest and forthright with you about them so you can address them properly and work on them together.

If you balk at this, she’ll bring it up again, and insist that things be tended to.

She won’t just drop the subject, but will do what needs to be done in order to sort things out…

But if it turns out that she’s the only one who’s making a sincere effort to enact change, she will walk away.

10. Resilience.

An elderly couple is sharing a tender moment indoors. The man, with a white beard and glasses, is leaning towards the woman who has red hair. She is smiling softly with her eyes closed, resting her head on his shoulder. Both are dressed in casual, comfortable clothing.

It’s just as important that you’re honest with her, regardless of what the issue is—if you’re upset, or unhappy, or just have something to address as a couple, lay it out on the table so it can be dealt with.

She’s not a fragile flower who will cry at the drop of a hat—she’s with you for a reason, and will work with you to sort out what needs to be sorted to make the relationship work.

Just be honest with her, always.

She’ll know if you’re hiding something from her, and if you ever lie to her or break her trust, it’s over. Not only will she lose respect for you, but she’ll never be able to trust you again.
