Independent Woman 

A woman who pays her own bills, buys her own things, and doesn't feel she needs a man's approval. Meanwhile, she complains that she can't find a man because there aren't enough good men out there. She also has a 1,000 point criteria list for what she wants in a man and feels like she deserves this kind of man because she can financially support herself. All the while she forgets that she can't be independent and interdependent (in a relationship) at the same time. Instead of realizing that she would need to change her mindset to find a man who fits even a fraction of that 1,000 point criteria, she blames society, her race, statistics, and virtually anything but herself for her situation.
