We’ve all been blessed enough to know one, and if you are one, good for you.
Intimidating women make he world go round. They aren’t scary, but their confidence comes off as uncomfortable. They know who they are; they accept who they are; they love who they are.
If you happen to have an intimidating woman in your life, be grateful. Study her ways, learn her attitude, and strive to have as much confidence in yourself as she has in hers. These are the traits that make her such a spit-fire.
She doesn’t live with mediocrity.
Doing something half-ass is not a way to live. An intimidating woman is an adventure seeker. She moves to another country on little more than a whim and lives her life with a strong hint of chaos. She eats dinner alone in a bar because she wants a juicy steak after work. She does what she wants and she does not consider the opinions of others.
She is constantly looking around the corner for the next adrenaline-pumping action, because she knows life is short so you better go hard or go home. If you find yourself lucky enough to be with a woman like this, try to keep up.
She wears what she wants.
When she wakes up in the morning, she puts on the clothes that appeal to her current state of being. She doesn’t look to society to tell her what to wear. While she may take current trends into account, she doesn’t need their dictation.
She wears what she wants because she does what she wants.
She’s confronted her past.
Everybody has skeletons hiding in the closet. She has had her fair share of issues throughout life, but they do not define her.
She’s a fighter that has worked through the bad and come out stronger on the other side. Her strong intuition and will have led her to move through the bad and come to the place she is at now. Whether for better or for worse, she is where she is because of the past she has lived.
She’s an open book.
…If you know what page to turn to. Ask the right question and she’ll tell you anything you want to know about herself and her past.
However, you will rarely find her overindulging you and driving the conversation needlessly far. She already knows everything there is to know about herself. Instead, she’s more concerned with probing you about your own thoughts and opinions. She is drawn to people with interesting stories and plentiful ideas. She knows the people she likes to surround herself with and she’ll drop those that don’t fit into the right categories.
She attracts attention without trying.
She has a demeanor that draws the eye. There’s something about the way that she walks and a little thing in the way that she talks that allows people to be interested in what she has to say.
She says few words, making the words she does say all the more valuable. Despite her lack of speech, she often finds herself able to direct the conversation easily when she does find herself in a group setting. She knows the value of silence.
She will teach you things.
There’s a decent chance she’s intimidating because she’s been through her fair share of experiences in life. Whether she shares her emotional strength and knowledge of the arts with you, or her literal knowledge of how to change a flat tire, you will learn something about your life simply by being in hers.
She knows what she knows, is confident with it, and will challenge you when she feels the situation calls for it.
She lives her life with intense passion.
When she loves, she loves hard. And when she feels disdain, it’s equally harsh. An intimidating woman has become this way because of her confidence. She loves who she is and she isn’t afraid of her faults. She embraces them because they are part of her.
This doesn’t pursue a line of work she doesn’t like, nor does she have hobbies that don’t challenge her. Life is worth being lived and it’s worth being lived passionately.
