.strong aint always that strong.

i read an interesting article. its about how men love paris-hilton-type-of-women. men enjoy being with women that are simple. men love women that can hug, kiss, and laugh without asking questions. maybe thats their definition of 'simple'. as for me, men use the term 'simple women' to clothe the ugly naked term: stupid women. men like women who keeps their mouth shut all the time except when they kiss. men adore women who can be controlled like barbie dolls. men hate strong women for showing them that strong aint always that strong. men avoid arguments where they cant win. um, it isnt a crime when men go for simple women instead of strong ones and it isnt a mistake for women if they choose to be simple. i just couldnt help but wonder...how bout the strong women? what are their roles in this insanity called life?

well...most women i know are categorised under 'strong women' label. they speak their mind. they pursue their own happiness and they love wholeheartedly. along the way, they get hurt and cry, they are stabbed from the back and betrayed by people they love most. thats the fact. what can i say...i am one of them. aint proud of being one cause i didnt chose to be one. i just happened to be one. since there are so many prejudice about strong women, id like to take a snapshots of those strong women from their weakest angle.

humph, honestly it aint easy being strong. or should i revise...it aint easy when men labeled you as a strong woman. you scare them away. you always end up feeling sorry for yourself even when you won the argument square and fair. you always end up apologizing even when you know youre right. you are the prisoner in your own free world.

looking at strong women from a different angle, youll find that these 'monsters' called strong women are the answer for every mans need. strong women do their duties and fight for their rights. strong women work hard and arent afraid to sweat. strong women dont stand there and do nothing; they initiate change and strive for the best. strong women are able to say right when it is right and wrong when it is wrong. strong women dare to take a leap of faith to test their hearts. strong women courageously stand up for people they love. strong women irrationally challenge men to believe in themselves when there arent any logical reason and rational evidence.

pointing out the fact doesnt mean that one type of woman is better than the other. im in no position to give judgment. i just write my thoughts out nakedly.

p.s: when you meet a strong woman, look deeper...youll see a fragile soul trapped in a dimension called body. dont be too hard on her. shes just trying her best to survive.

I think u r 1 strong woman, but at the first impression u didn’t scare me off.

How about giving a chance for others to know about the soul trapped on that dimension called body?

And how about giving that soul a chance to breathe the open air of freedom and love once again?

Believe me, iv been on the same situation as yours! ;)

And how about try not to categorized man because of one sample, yes we have the same gender but have a lot of differences on ideas, way of thinking and perspectives. Maybe most of us, but not all of us.

nice writings,
just like a rainbow after the rain.

I'm probably gonna embarass myself with my poor english, jadi mari berbahasa saja hahahaahhh >:)

Gw setuju sama apa yang lo bilang, dat strong women scares (particular) men away. I guess dats why gw kadang berperilaku kaya anak kecil,,,make stupid faces, annoying sounds, innocent lines, its because I know,,,I'm bold (and not because I have a loud voice AND square jaw, ha-ha) and kalo gw mau, gw bisa sangat...dominan.

Gw ga mau memberi kesan dominan sama orang lain, jadi kesan yang lo tangkap selama kita bersama, itu adalah hasil dari my successful impression management, hahahaha~ XDDDDD

I dunno lo menyebutnya apa, Sa...ironic, tragic...? I'm strong, I know, but I feel sooo guilty and afraid to be strong dat I choose not to be one,,,!!!

Oh gw pasti belum resolve di salah satu tahap perkembangan Erikson, tapi gw ga tau yang mana XPPPPPP
