Maybe we asked out some independent women, and got as a response:

* LJBF
* You're just not "dangerous" enough
* There's no chemistry between us
* Pick your favorite response

Well, I can only think of two or three guys (on the net) who've said
they want independent women who'll ask them out.  I wonder how many of
the female readers of the social groups want to ask them out, let
alone be asked out by them.  I wasn't aware declaring oneself to be a
lover of independent women was sufficient criteria to be asked out by
them, let alone be the recipient of a 'yes' when asking one out.

I get the feeling you are objecting more to the fact that the woman
had "big tits" than was "dependent".  There are independent women with
big tits, too ...

Maybe some of us dated dependent women because we felt like we shared
some things in common with them, found them attractive, thought we
could work out a relationship, etc.  Maybe we got tired of being by
ourselves, and as soon as we found someone we thought we could share
our lives with, we got involved with them.  Also, some of those
independent women we dated turned out not to be so independent after
all once we got to know them a little better.

I have more to say on this topic but I'll wait and see what flames ...
er, responses I get.
