Many have complained about the strength of a woman. Many have legislated policies to prevent women from being their fullest. Society has conspired to keep women in check because, by definition, a woman has to be stronger than a man.

If we revert back to the text, a man gets up and goes find himself a woman that he can build with. He’s the constant. The powers that be, in the case of this blog… God… gave the man a woman. That’s the way it works.

In order for this to work perfectly, the woman has to be capable of dealing with whatever man she has. That requires intense levels of skills, strengths, competences, adaptability, and intelligence. Which, by the way, is very common place in women. They are amazing. They are smart. They are very capable. And when given the chance, excel at anything life gives them.

Anything a man can do, a woman can do it better while in heels

to paraphrase a popular refrain

This degree of innate strength, however, is not always cultivated and available to the woman. She will eventually learn this on her own. That’s her genius. However, it appears to be a whole lot more fun for everyone when she does not have to learn and uncover this all by herself. Women, like men, are very social beings. The journey of discovery works best when in good company.

Why we need a strong woman

Man was designed, if you believe the same text this writer does, to work for his fortunes. To work for his pleasure. To hunt for his meal. To chase his love. To conquer land. Expand his territory. To show himself worthy.

This, of course, starts at the hands of a strong woman who brings this man to life and raises him to be the man he needs to be. Part of that upbringing comes from her ability to select a noble partner to share the burden of life with. This man, her king, will work with her in her quest to raise her prince into the fullness of his being.

With that foundation in place, most men will seek to find a woman who most feels like what he knows to be love. Yes, we hate the fact some say we’re looking for a woman like our moms… and curse science who supports those claims. We want our own queen. It is purely coincidental if there is any resemblance to our mothers. That is our stance and we live by it. (generalizations in this paragraph exaggerated for humor purposes)

All jokes aside however, we do need a strong woman by our side.

Here are a couple reasons why…

We need to strive for our happiness. A woman that’s a doormat and easy to walk on… bores us. By us, meaning, gentlemen of valor.

We need the challenge to keep us honest in our pursuits of happiness and love.

We do not need another to simply roll over and say yes to our whims… we have enough of that with our subordinates and underlings.

this has nothing to do with our need for submission from our women… to be discussed next week

We don’t need another person to protect from the gazes of lustful boys dressed as men. We need to know that when we close our eyes to sleep, as much as we’ll gladly get up and defend our interests, our lady is not prone to nibble at unhealthy bait.

Much like iron sharpens iron, a sharp mind sharpens another and helps us retain our alpha male card. The ability to talk about our dreams, feelings, hopes, aspirations, and honor on a very high level is priceless and very hard to find. The added bonus of our lady being our lovers as well as our mental equals… is beyond sexy and adds to the sense of loyalty. Of course, this assumes such a lady is loyal and demands our loyalty as well.

Nothing is more frustrating than being down and having no one to understand, patiently work with, and loving support us. Our need to appear strong will cause many to hide the fact they need help, but as social creatures, we do need help. Only a strong woman knows and is sensitive enough to provide the support, the encouragement, and keep our vulnerabilities very private.

Believe it or not, your strength, dear lady, often empowers us to uncover our greatest strengths. Much like when we work with you helps you uncover your strengths.

What being a strong woman is not…

Being strong does not mean you lord over us and push us about. We do wise up and fight back or leave.

Beings strong does not mean you do the work for us and step in our shoes and be us. That is emasculating. And we do wise up and leave. Can’t speak for non-alpha males though.

Being strong does not mean you can’t be weak and you can’t accept our love or help.

Being strong does not mean you have to be manly. It just means you can handle manly things while retaining your elegance as a lady at all times.

Just because you’re strong does not mean you can’t listen to our advice, opinions, and wisdom. Instead, it means you’re open to learning with us, sharing with us, listening to us, and stroking our ego in letting us think you need us.

Being strong does not give you a pass to trample our egos and demand we act like nothing went wrong. We will guard and defend our egos… because it is the very source of our bravery that allowed us to step to you correctly and present an acceptable offer of a relationship.

We really need a strong woman

Women, luckily for you, do not need a man to be complete. Thankfully, we men don’t need a woman to be complete either. However, we do need a woman to be strong so we can play to our strengths.

We need to know you’ve got your ish handled. You’ve got your life on point. We need to know you’re a queen and comfortable being the queen we need. We need you to be strong so that we can put down the bravado at home and love you from our hearts.

Like they say… in the wolf pack… the woman protects her man so he can better protect her.

Wolf Wednesday

In the game of chess, which is pretty much most of life’s work, the king is nothing without his queen. Her strength often times defines his strength.

We add value. Women multiply value. The equation works best when both players are strong. By strong, we mean mature self-actualizing and self-reflective beings who can interact with the world wholesomely and completely.

When playing at the levels of alpha leadership, our lives is most complete when we have an alpha woman working with us. The old adage recognized this with the saying “behind every great man is a greater woman”… which came from the older adage “behind every great man is a woman”.

Today, some women claim “behind every great woman is herself”. It is very tragic that women feel they must fend for themselves alone. While that is the sad reality, just keep in mind… we need you and if you’re too stuck on your strength to realize we are in this together, we will wise up, we will move on without you… because we too are strong… just like you.

The way the original phrase probably sounded is this “besides every great man is a great woman”. That is the vision we have. This is what we strive for. But don’t get it twisted, as much as we alphas need you… we will not settle for just any woman who claims to be strong. We will test, we will push, we will try, and we will find assurance that you are what you say you are. Then, and only with proper insurance of your strength, will you be allowed to see our weakness and do the magic you do to covert it into strength.

The real reason why we need you at your strongest… because… your multiplicative properties will convert our weakness into strength… freeing us to be additive to your life… and the cycle creates an unstoppable strong duo of a team that gets better, smarter, faster, sweeter, and stronger with time together.
