I hate them to the core!
They give women in general a bad name!
Here are some women that I think have no self-respect. Those who don't take care of their body, obsessed with boys who don't even respect them, those who allow themselves to be disrespected by people especially by men, those who are not independent, those who can't think for themselves, those who go with friends who don't respect them and so on.
Something inside just stirs inside me, the demon: wrath! I just hate what some women have become in these days! They have behaved so badly, I had to battle between feeling sorry for them or feeling angry towards them.
I want women to be more independent, respectful towards themselves and to others, kind, wise, loves themselves truly and to a healthy degree(too much and that would be narcissists or actually they are only using a coping mechanism that just make you think they love themselves but really they have low self-worth), someone with high self-worth, believes in her own abilities.
Most of the qualities in the above paragraph is my ideal type of woman and the woman I aim to be. Note there are no physical looks involved. The woman inside the shell(be it a beautiful shell or not) is what is important.
And I believe, deep down, this is the kind of woman a good man would want. even jerks want this woman. I even suspect they fear(even secretly desire)such a woman would be able to whip them.(i mean this in the figurative way, not the dominatrix type with the whip)
Tell me if I'm wrong boys, I'm willing to debate!

No Madam you are not wrong, a real woman is who has respect of womanhood, this is what make her woman. Same is for Men, a real man don't disrespect real women, this is their manhood, this makes them Gentleman. A woman with no self respect, will not get any respect from real men either.

However, there is a possibility that this no self respect woman will be loved by a good guy. hehe.
i also think the same. Men who are truly men are gentlemen. They know how to treat women well. I wonder why some guys can't be gentlemen? I think they are afraid of being called weak or fagg-t? Well, fearing such a thing makes them weak and un-manly anyway.

Yes and a real man should stand up for his own beliefs, someone who is not easily affected by other people's opinions of him.

Hi Aja!
Whatever qualities you expect in an ideal woman are up to the mark.
Most of the guys would respect a woman who is aware of her self respect and self esteem. They would expect that a woman should have all the positive traits and she could be able to stand for herself.
Having said that, it is important to realise that we all are human and every woman can not have all the qualities in her.
Also, till you observe some below bench mark women, you can not appreciate above average women.
I mean to say the value of a good person could only be gauged when you see a bad person.
Another aspect is - those who are highly qualified or are very beautiful carry huge 'ego' with them. They give a damn to the person in front of them.
Those who do not have enough qualification and/or financial standing/back up and resources at their disposal, sometimes tend to go with guys which are not worth them. You may call it compulsion.
I mean to say that it will all depend upon person to person and situation to situation. No hard and fast rule could be laid.
It is appreciable on your part that you want to be an ideal woman and you are vying for it, probably.
All the best.
Have a great day!

Yes, I agree with you that those who have low self esteem go for those guys, which they deserve.
I fully agree with you that humbleness is very necessary. The one who is not down to earth can not succeed in life. (I am humble by the way)
It is also correct that 'balance' in life is essential, going to any of the extremes could be hazardous for our life.

Thank you for your informative response, deepak!
It is given that no one is perfect, however, it doesn't hurt to aim for perfection.
I think some women go for guys who are not that good because they have low self-worth. Maybe they believe they deserve it. Sometimes they are not even aware of that. They seem attract these kind of guys too. It depends on the company they keep, like you said.
I forgot to put down 'down-to-earth' as another characteristic of an ideal woman. I mean, it applies to all people really. Being humble for people who are at a high point can be challenging.
In life, balance is essential. Believing in ourselves but not to the point of being egotistic.

I am a woman. I think I have self respect, Independent. I think most woman have self respect just few woman like that don't have self respect. That woman maybe she must do that for her living or maybe she lost her parent and can't get any teach from her parent. or maybe something wrong with her mind so they don't have self respect. I just can't see why a woman dont have self respect. They must have problem in her life.

People are too judgmental and that's the main problem.
I know a lot of respectable women and space is not enough to mention their names.
Anyway, I don't mind people who judge other people easily (sometimes those kind of people are insecured)

Hello Aja, it has something to do with breeding or environment that they have grown to. some people did it because of lack of love and security from their own families, but the feeling is mutual, it's the same feeling that i have for my fellow men, they should have been showing more good example so that those who are good won't be judge. before i used to get offended silently when a girl would say that men are all the same, i didn't want to defend myself knowing that the person is going such a trouble.

I'm sure that was not easy letran. I get pissed to when men talk about women badly. I am a woman too. Although I know that some women have faults and imperfections, they should treat all women with kindness. Men should be strong and understanding. women tend to be very emotional and irrational sometimes so a man should be a stabilizer for her.
I also have not so good ideas about other woman. It's not like I am happy to hate them. I just want them to better themselves so that men would stop abusing them or they would stop doing bad things.

If you read all the discussions over here you will find out that many people do not have self respect at all. Men and women. Men are cheaters, abusers, liars also. There are men who let themselves humilate, have a big lack of self esteem, don't care if their wife is paying for them at all, they are far of independent. How much self esteem, pride you have has to do with character but also the way you are raised. Not everybody does has the courage to fight against family, friends, the community they live in. Family, friends, the society, even the government tells you how a woman has to be. It is true that if you do not respect yourself, love yourself, pamper yourself, nobody else will do that for you. Especially not a man since most find it still normal the woman is not more as a servant and you can rape her anytime you like. As a husband, as a neighbour, as a father, an uncle, or as a community if she takes the bus. I don't want to be like that so I did fight against the whole community I once lived in and was kicked out. The world did not change after all these ages so my children do fight too against it. But we all have a lot of self esteem and are able to live alone. We don't need a man to take care of us, but also not a man to pay for and solve his problems or stroke his ego because he needs a strong wife behind him so he can be succesfull. We would never let a man be succesfull over our "body". If he can't do it alone he can stay a big loser. Since we have to do it alone as well. We live in a community where women are more worth as men. Since it's women who give life, not men.

I hope were not seeing uprising here lolz, because most men here treat women with respect. i think hating won't do any good because i hated some women who uses men to or getting even or revenge by inflicting the same pain to innocent men if they can't directly get even with men who hurt them. in my point view, we can't be too one sided much. women should always be given the respect they deserve, that's just one of the major favors that men should mandatory do.

LOL, don't worry letran.
hating is not good if we keep it all bottled up and if we keep expressing it to people who would get hurt by it. I think it should be expressed but not allowed to go out of control. Hate spreads fast.
I think having 'respect everyone you meet' should be set as default. Being with a person will help us determine whether that person deserves our respect or not.

I have not really thought about people in mylot having low self-respect. But I have encountered some discussions under the relationship category that talked about people who have low self-respect.
It's not really a sin because self-respect is not that easy to learn for some people, especially if their past and their environment influences them in a very negative way.
However, I don't like people who continue to have low self-respect. Even when they are already advised to treat their selves better, they still do the same things they have done before and hurt themselves over and over. Some people just don't learn.
I can see you are a feminist, kitty. I am a bit of a feminist myself. I also hate how some men treat other women. We need to fight for ourselves, otherwise we will forever be treated badly as women.

That is like being sacred as a woman, they need to take good care of themselves and be pleasant in public. I know some women lost interest of looking the bright side of being real in the face of other people. Some women lost their beauty touch right after getting married. Not only they lost their self-respect, the people lost respect to them too. Some men are committing a lost of interest to them, since they've lost the woman that they once appreciated them.

Talking about women after marriage, some women fail to care for themselves because they are loaded with other responsibilities and therefore don't have enough time for themselves, some are just too lazy.

It's a very idealistic notion and would only happen in a perfect world.
Have you seen the movie Stepford Wives?
This sort of thing could only happen if men were also perfect, then there would be perfect couples making perfect marriages and having perfect babies and raising them to be perfect people.

hi Aja yes I agree if we woman want men who respect us then we must first respect ourselves and act in such a way as to show we are strong, able to c are for ourselves, and that w e respcect others and respect ourselves too.I did mot marry til i was 31 because those whom i dated did not show real respect towards women and I refused to marry someone who did not respect
himself or me either.

You married quite late, but I think you did what is right. When choosing a husband, we don't have to rush marriage because we are not getting any younger. We have to be careful in choosing our lifetime partner and one important thing we need to find in that person is that he respects everyone: himself, us(his woman) and other people.

I like your definition of how a woman should be.I Would like you to add one more there and that is a woman who will never judge others.

I feel there are different reasons people act a certain way. Not all insecure and dependent women chose to be that way. We do not know what they have been through or how they were brought up. I do not think its good to assume things about people we do not know...

It's true that people act differently because of their past, their experiences with love and other people, their family, their friends and so on.
You are right, not all insecure and dependent women choose to be this way, some of them are not even aware of what they have become. Some of them did not choose to be this kind of woman, but the important thing is that they change themselves into a better person so that they will gain people's respect too and they also gain self-respect.
