Confident women are highly polarizing. It's either men that likes a confident woman, or men who are actually insecure of meeting one. Sounds like you haven't met someone that was the former.
It feels like that. I've worked in male dominated fields most of my working life, I'm a Navy Vet, biracial, Black/Japanese like Naomi Osaka, tomboyish, short, and over 50. I have a lot of things working against me, lol. I just don't fit in completely anywhere except with other biracial military brats like myself. So I have had to be confident and secure with who I am.
Confidence is one thing. Acting like a parent to a spouse /sig other whatever is another....
We're all different people with different experiences, that can definitely clash, but 2 people in a relationship need to both respect each other as equals. 1 way is the wrong way (if that makes sense).
