Independent women have so many silly assumptions made about them. There are all these preconceived notions that are so wrong, they're laughable. I don't know if people are threatened by independent women, intimidated by them, or jealous of them. I don't know if they just don't like anything that challenges their opinions of what a woman should be or what, but if you're a woman and you can happily and successfully take care of yourself, people can get downright nasty. Even when they're not being mean, exactly, plenty of their assumptions are nasty, too. Here are some of the biggest misconceptions about independent women. See if any of them seem familiar to you, and be sure to chime in with your experiences, too! ## 1. Independent Women Aren't Interested in Having a Relationship – Ever ![person, singer, singing,](https://img.allw.mn/content/ut/ua/ix2wo0hk5775c4c2cf2e0209258477_500x280.gif) Ever, ever, ever, no exceptions, if you're independent then some people assume you never want to be with anybody. ## 2. But It's Also Impossible for You to Be Single and Happy – You're Totally Faking It ![person, singer, singing, CAN, WHATEVERI,](https://img.allw.mn/content/pt/a0/mjufdv3g5775c4c5b889b697704055_500x250.gif) There's no way you're actually happy about being single, either – that's impossible! ## 3. Somehow, Being Independent Means You Have Sex All the Time ![person, anime, profession, mobile device, vehicle,](https://img.allw.mn/content/c6/fy/hvn078v65775c4c2c69e8100528974_500x270.gif) That's basically all you ever do, right, like one of those highfalutin modern women? ## 4. Probably with Tons of Partners, so You're Promiscuous, Too ![person, woman, facial expression, religion, emotion,](https://img.allw.mn/content/tx/ir/digwl29x5775c4c2e36bc174024063_501x280.gif) Not only are you having lots of sex, but you're having lots of sex with random people – and a whole lot of folks actually assume that independent women are always after married men. ## 5. Or else You're a Frigid Old Spinster ![person, blond, woman, singing, singer,](https://img.allw.mn/content/lz/dy/lo1kb0215775c4c33dd3e289284858_500x287.gif) Okay, I don't even understand people at all anymore. ## 6. And You're Absolutely Destined to Be a Cat Lady ![person, facial expression, emotion, profession, Like,](https://img.allw.mn/content/al/yi/uxwrkjam5775c4c455d66831856047_500x281.gif) Well, of course – if you're a woman who can stand on her own two feet, obviously no one but your cats will ever love you, and also you're clearly a witch who needs her feline familiars with her at all times. ## 7. You're Not Really Independent – Somebody's Paying Your Bills ![person, singing, music, singer, It's,](https://img.allw.mn/content/np/sw/jwkzv3765775c4c5721ee376591955_500x270.gif) Everybody secretly thinks it's your parents. ## 8. You Don't Care What Anybody Thinks about Anything ![person, blond, profession, speech, singing,](https://img.allw.mn/content/za/vq/ig4z4l8y5775c4c58d11d853516599_500x268.gif) You know, if this is true, good for you because look at the assumptions you have to deal with when you care about what people think. ## 9. Also, Everybody Knows You Secretly Hate Men ![person, hair, blond, woman, human action,](https://img.allw.mn/content/yl/ve/y0gf3n6o5775c4c6b1f55512799861_500x281.gif) That's why you say you don't need one, right? ## 10. You Probably Have Daddy Issues, Too ![person, profession, RDASHIANS, ONLINE, COM,](https://img.allw.mn/content/v4/nz/ks6n9euq5775c4c620f9e442966756_490x270.gif) It couldn't possibly be that both your parents taught you that you're strong and capable. ## 11. If You're Independent, You're Totally a Bitch ![Starz, hair, brown hair, I'm, not,](https://img.allw.mn/content/so/kq/zzhfoxyu5775c4c758edb124293223_500x281.gif) No question, no room for discussion. ## 12. You're Also Oh, so Cold-hearted ![hair, person, hairstyle, lip, you,](https://img.allw.mn/content/j1/mz/o7gr997m5775c4c89ef6a728448030_500x282.gif) Who even knows why anyone would think this? ## 13. Somebody Broke Your Heart, That's Why You're like This ![film,](https://img.allw.mn/content/p4/kw/rgelnhdv5775c4c7c8ab5276360841_500x281.gif) It's possible, but if so, it's a coincidence – and even if it's not, isn't that a good reason to be independent? ## 14. You Look down on Everybody else ![City, person, profession, Citytv,](https://img.allw.mn/content/m6/kw/epxea3e65775c4c86482a706111464_500x269.gif) Seriously, where do people get these ideas? ## 15. The Odds Are High That You Can't Cook ![Tears,](https://img.allw.mn/content/vr/q2/vy1jfyma5775c4c897456794800282_500x290.gif) Right, because you can't be independent and enjoy cooking or cleaning or anything like that. You can only be this one stereotype. ## 16. You Most Likely Despise Children ![person, facial expression, emotion, the, paranoid,](https://img.allw.mn/content/p7/r8/mqbo1mw55775c4c9a0261039467743_500x271.gif) There is so much wrong with this assumption. ## 17. You're a Total Snob ![person, NEWS, arms, are, fat,,](https://img.allw.mn/content/tp/ic/zto4ohh55775c4cb5c11a959047738_500x263.gif) And this one is honestly just sad. Independent Stalkers, does anyone make any ridiculous assumptions about you?
