Im all about an independent woman that doesnt need me to baby her. I like a girl that isnt needy and whiny. My girl works full time and goes to school. She takes care of herself but we provide for each other at the same time.

Its a balance really.

My best advice is this:
Make yourself happy, thats the only way you can be happy with someone else.

Sounds selfish but its true. If you are going into a date or relationship trying to prove your independent your bringing alot of angst into the mix. You shouldnt have to prove yourself, it should just be known.

I totally agree with you. I dont think it should matter, but as of late I have had the guy that tells me that he brings nothing to the table because he makes less than me, then I have had the guy that feels like I try too hard to prove I can fend for myself, and even when I find someone that may accept me as I am...They have issues with me being the only female member of a squad and refuse to "ride b*tch" to me if I were to ever take them to a meet.

I cant win
