Behind every great man, is a woman.

Do you think it's true that behind every great man is a woman?

I'm thinking of famous people mostly... like Kennedy and so on.

[LongHairedBeardedKiltie]

in those cases it would be a very understanding woman though!

I should like to think so, but there are also tales of nasty or greedy women driving men before them. But i'd like to forget that, and think of some of the positives.

For example, the authors of The Millionaire Next Door said that most men could not accumulate wealth in their lifetime without having a good wife who plays her "financial defense" for their "financial offense."

Common! Somebody take counterpoint and let's get some discussion in here!

Well I think it's true because to be great you need somone backing you. for an all around good guy a dude need to have had a positive female influence in his life like a mother a nice sister a good female friend or a girl friend that stood by when he needed it. I mean nice guys can be strong and nice on their own it doesnt always have to be because of a woman but that is often the case otherwise the other nice guys are clueless to women. you know the regular guys guy that all your boyfriends and guy friends like but you just can't fathom why.. those are the regular nice ones i am talking about. I believe to be an ultimate nice guy it is true that some type of woman was in his life at one point or another. That or a father or male figure who learned their lessons from a woman and taught what theyt learned well. point being a woman was around at some point so yes I believe women prevent men form being tgotal dick heads BELLL RANG BYYYE!

hhahahha... well now, do you think it's also true that behind every great woman is a man? What about... say... Eleanor Roosevelt? I think her husband was way too busy to be much of a support to her... i think rather he was a challenge to her.

Or again... what about Jackie Kennedy... do you think her husband helped or did she get what she needed to succeed from debutant school?

Well to put it simply I believe both sexes help to make eachother rounded people. Strong male figure makes woman able to trust men a challenging one helps her reach her full potential. strong woman figure helps men trust woman a difficult woman brings a man to his full ptotnetila I think we both do the same same things for eacher other because there are the same types of both sexes out there that are just plain dumb prissy not it all *****es
