| How Do You Define An Independent Woman?. by freecocoa(f): 10:08am On Nov 08, 2014 |
So I created this thread to get better views on who/what people think/believe an independent woman is/should be. A lady (firstEva) talked about her boyfriend having two cars yet she has to 'trek' about town, asking if it isn't selfish of him not to give her one, now I see nothing wrong in her wanting to share her boyfriend's car, only thing is, she didn't ask but almost everyone sounded like she committed a heinous crime for even just harboring the thought of ever using his car, shior!  .I believe an independent woman is one who can take care of herself but that doesn't mean she can't ask her man for stuffs when she needs it and ofcourse he gets to do same. I'm only asking because from what I read yesterday, people sounded like an Independent woman is one who doesn't ask her man for anything whatsoever, I come dey wonder, if I can share my body, my time, my brain, my energy etc with my man, what then is a 'ducking' car? 20 Likes 4 Shares |

If you are sharing your body, your time and everything. There is God oh ..... Please stop sharing, cos the more u share , the more u reason that u av right to his properties. Its like ure doing him a favour by sharing those things. This is not a favour or a time to return favour. Courtship is not politics. An Independent woman is one that can take care of herself well without her seeing a right to her guy's properties. See Matt 6:33 for more help. freecocoa: 11 Likes |

Independent- you can take care of yourself . . Firsteva's account was that he had two,then he should give her one when she did not contribute anything in buying the car and has not put a ring on her finger. That's stupidity sorry to say. . Instead,the normal thing is asking for his permission to use his car on few occassions. 16 Likes |

An independent woman is just...that woman who can function in her daily life indepently. Hence, without a man, mother, father, family help. A woman who can bring home the bacon and fry it too! And if a man so happens to come along, he would be lucky to find someone who isn't a needy baby!  9 Likes |

A woman who pays her own bills, buys her own things, and DOES NOT allow a man to affect her stability or self-confidence. She supports her self on her own entirely and is proud to be able to do so. 10 Likes |

An independent woman relies on God/hardwork to excel not on a man. though no man is self sufficient, we can ask for help once in a while but to totally depend on another human who is not your family or husband should be discouraged. ladies can still buy a car while still single, you dont need to go begging if you can afford it. 4 Likes |

Kuljoe:Bros this no be Sunday school na and no be everybody dey go church so can we just leave religion out of it? Firstly, I don't see whatever I do for my man as a favor that's why I said I'm happy to share it with him and therefore I expect he does same, we are talking someone you may get to spend the rest of your life with and you come up with this? So we should do as we please without regard to the other person? Please how would the world work if we all behave as you suggest? 3 Likes |

3cycle:I support you on this . Lemme add this An Independent Person is someone who doesn't always need others. Others includes influence, guidance, control, etc. You can rely on yourself, instead of constantly looking to others for affirmation, or to help you. You can fend for yourself, and you can do so well. 4 Likes 1 Share |

freecocoa: Well,it actually depends on the definition and the context used... Independent can depict self-governance,self-sufficience,self-sustaining. We could say Dangote or Adenuga were self-made but is that really possible in the context you're talking about? No...it simply means achieving success/prominence based on one's efforts or actions. |

freecocoa: Nawa oo...iya calm down laa No one can be independent (your context) because at one point or the other,you need people to make it - be it by patronage,advice,help or what have you... People can be independent according to my defintion of efforts & actions... Some words have different meanings depending on how you choose to interpret it... 1 Like |

StealthyMe:I'm calm my love, don't misunderstand me please. I'm just trying to make us all see that a man and woman are dependent on each other in a relationship so people should stop talking crap about how a woman needs to be independent, ofcourse every woman should strive to have her own money but it's just so clear that people don't know what they talk about when they keep screaming 'independent woman'. 1 Like |
