Just remember a few basic things while writing your strong female biography.
Despite being strong, your male character does not need to have a tragic, haunting past in which he lost his wife and children, or he was cheated on. Nor does he need to be military, former military, a fighter, a police officer or a super hero.
Despite being strong, your male character is more than welcome to be emotionally damaged, have feelings, be shy and slightly awkward or a complete dork.
Despite being strong, your male does not need to be a player. He doesn't need to womanize -- or manize? He doesn't need to sleep around casually, he is allowed to have a romantic connection, and fall in love.
Despite being strong, your male character doesn't need to be completely independent -- believe it or not, strong male characters often have amazing people there when the going gets tough. It's okay to give them a shoulder to cry on -- because it's okay for them to cry.
Despite being strong, your male character doesn't need to be the epitome of evil, nor does he need to be Captain Do-Good.
Despite being strong, your male character does not need to be excessively manly -- there's no need to be a meat wall with a beard. Your strong male can be small, lanky and cute.
Despite being strong, your male character does not need to be overly "attractive" and have bulging muscles.
Despite being strong, your male character is allowed to suffer -- not just in the physical sense.
Above all, despite being strong, your male character does not need to be a warrior, he does not need to be skillful with a blade, or even his fists. He could be a father of three or a single parent, he could be a teacher.
STRONG does not mean unbreakable. STRONG does not mean fighter. STRONG does not mean lonely, hateful and an egotistical misogynist. Having a STRONG male character simply means that they're hard working, passionate, driven, often hard headed/set in their own ways, and they're a man that does the best he can in any circumstance.
