Power

I've been checking out this online dating thing for the past couple of months and there is one thing that I have noticed. Most men, or at least the men who are compatible with me, put Power as a turn off. It intrigues me. I really think that they mean that a controlling person is a turn off. Power has a completely different meaning to me. Especially when it is a woman who is powerful. But is that what is a turn-off to men? If a woman is powerful in her woman-ness, is that something that is difficult for a man to understand or to handle? I don't know. Have many men actually known a truly powerful woman? I'm not talking about a woman who is simply wealthy and works at a high-profile (or high-powered) career. Although a powerful woman can be those things. True power comes from a place of compassion and self-awareness with a healthy dose of humility. I think that a truly powerful woman would be attractive to any man....he may not know it, yet.
