Verified answer

Usually women who are independent are independent because of the bad situations in their life. They have learned that they have to be careful in life nad not just take it as fun and games.

Correct?

Well, I'm independent, but I've always been that way. I can honestly say that I was never hurt by the ending of a relationship, because I was smart enough not invest when I knew it wasn't going anywhere. I guess that yes, some girls only learn to be independent from experience, but others, like myself, learn by watching others get hurt and learning how to avoid that same hurt through other people's experiences.

I would say that everyone has a risk of getting hurt with all relationships. The girls who are independent (including myself) choose to keep their distance as to not get hurt repeatedly. I do agree though that it does take some risk to get comfortable and not get hurt. I have gone through several situations like this and each time I get hurt I come up stronger, and realize that if I truly want to protect myself, its all about making careful and cautions decisions instead of being rash and jumping into relationships that you aren't ready for.

Girls who are independent as you say, have usually been heartbroken by their ex's yeah, which makes them sort of notorious.

Some of them who have been hurt super bad, abused and stuff may never want to date again.

But most of the girls who claim they are independent would love a guy to show them a different kind of love they've been missing out on.

Like me however, been broken several times! But it just makes me stronger, I'd call myself independent, but i wouldn't refuse a good old fashioned romance!! :P xxx

i think you're right

although there are probably many exceptions, girls that 'don't need anybody' probably really needed somebody in the past and it just didn't happen.

a girl would be willing to take the risk if she believes it would be worth getting hurt again, but it will definitely take more time for them to let they're guard down

i know from experience

Yes!! I grew up with out my father and my step father was abusive. Its hard to trust again but girls will trust a guy again if they feel that he is trust worthy. So be trust worthy! I've had a bf for about a yr and its going great.:)

Being independant and being hurt by someone you love or trusted are two totally different things.

I am a Leo and I loooooooove clingy girls !! We tend to feel alone a lot and we love the attention and plus us Leos are very jealous
