I hate Shoujo. The only 2 Shoujos I ever read are :

No.. We are the same.. I prefere girl that are strong and not a cry baby who was easily get bullied by others. A girl should not let others to protect themselve or waiting for a prince charming to come and save them. They should protect themselve because they are the heroine in their own story..
Strong female characters are indeed needed in shoujo mantas. The female characters are too stupid and week to be true in this century. They seem made up and that annoys us because we usually dislike such characters.
Saver is good coz it's heroine was strong. Similarly beauty pop, host club heroines had brain in their head.
Nope...you are not the only one. I also don't like stereotypical shoujo & josei. Specially, those weak, stupid, shameless, clumsy girls who are not good at anything!! I also don't like the fact, at how easily girls throw themselves at boys in some typical shoujos. Real life isn't that easy & simple. I mean c'mon!! I am a girl, i have had tons of girlfriends & seen their love affairs . But none of them, i repeat NONE of them are like that!! Makes me wonder, if girls in japan are in general like that.
However, i DO like shoujo's wiyth a weak typical girl if they show that girl changing for better, becoming strong, getting over the male lead and standing up on her own.

These are a few shoujo I can think where the main female character isn't annoying to me... I normally stick to Yaoi though... but then I can find the same problem with the uke.
After reading so many shoujo I started to wonder why most of the main female characters are so weak?? I do not consider my self super strong am pretty average but if a guy doesn't like me and abuse me why would I like him? and not just in shoujo in other genders too. Another thing most shoujo are suppose to be directed to the female audiences but I as a woman find them so annoying and stupid that most of the time I just give up on the manga. So here is my question is it only me who would like more strong female characters or am just the minority and most girls like their main characters to be constantly protected by the guy and the girl crying and blushing 24/7????? I'm seriously confused.
