I would say that the primary factor is a very strong personality: any idea on how to attract those kind of girls?

Please consider what sorts of guys the sorts of girls you are attracted to are attracted to.

I truly haven't the slightest idea. I could see them to be attracted both to strong or weak-willed, well-built and chubby, rich or poor men. How could I find out?

Empirical observation.

Raise the topic at Metafilter?

I can imagine strong-willed women as being very definite about what they want, so there might not be a shared type except that they don't want men who try to override them, but this is just a guess.

It's funny because I hadn't thought to simply ask the web :) I definitely will...

I'm also reminded of studies that showed how similarity is more attractive than the opposite, so while I get more data I can postulate that strong-willed girls like strong-willed men.
