The mysteries of men and ice cream

Are men actually afraid of women who are independent, strong, successful and don't necessarily look like sliced bread after two weeks of burning sun? 

My closest friend once told me this theory about men, due to my recent unluck with any of these mysterious creatures. But to be honest, I can't really believe in this myth. Why would men be afraid to have someone who can actually stand on their own two legs? Are they really stuck in the stone ages where they had to protect and lead women? I don't want to believe that men have a problem with me because I am not weak enough to fit into their patchwork of illusions. 

I like standing in the middle of my own crazy dreams, working my ass off to get a career started, jogging all night to free my mind and finally come home with blisters all over my feet just to realize it didn't work. Yeah, all this is just a tiny little bit of all the things I love or especially don't love, the work I do (or should do), the things I aim to one day or want to avoid being when I grow older. And to be fair, if someone is not able to put up with all the things I hold, then I'd rather stay alone forever, so I don't have to give up all the colours, the big scary dreams, the fun and craziness that fill my days at the moment. 

I mean, look at this! A friend showed me this absolutely fantastic ice cream shop a couple of days ago and I am still thrilled just by the thought of it! This ice cream is just the bestestest ice cream I could ever imagine in the whole world! And no, it's actually not just about the ice cream, but especially about the lovely people working in this tiny cute shop, the love they spread creating the ice cream and the fabulous toppings and the sauces and the chocolate and ... I want another ice cream now!

And this is what I'm trying to say with the words above. Enthusiasm, and I mean a hell of a lot enthusiasm, about the tiniest things is a big part of my life which I am not willing to give up. This enthusiasm carries all my achievements, my love, my character and my happiness. I am not sure if people, or especially men, are not able or willing to not simply accept but go with these things and properties or if they really are scared of them. But what I know for sure is that whenever someone will ask me about this ice cream shop I will carry on talking about it with the greatest enthusiasm I can find.
