Question for the men and successful women!
Replies

I imagine the men who find it intimidating are just insecure. If those type of men are scared off then it's better for everyone concerned!
No doubt!
OP, if you run across a man who is intimidated by you, then walk away. There are better men out there!0 -
Why is it men.......and successful women....Some of us men are successful :sad:0

Hi, I'm Eric. Marry me?I don't think men are intimidated by successful women. Women just need to be women when at home and not try to be the same business minded person they are at work.0 -
My ambitions and job title and paycheck attracts alot of bums..... lol seriously. dudes quick with the "I love you" when they hear what I do.0

Would you say the same thing about a man?
Yes, everyone needs to leave their work at work and be kind and loving at home, man or woman.0 -
never mind0

Does the OP even post on mfp anymore? Looks like it was just a lame drive-by.0

My family is full of powerful independent women, in my house my mother makes all the big decision and my father even though was raised in "Mexican Macho" type of family has learned that he should accept any decision made by my mom as she is always the smartest and the one who can really see what's best for all of us.
that's misogynisticI don't think men are intimidated by successful women. Women just need to be women when at home and not try to be the same business minded person they are at work.
Guess I'm going to offend a lot of women, lol
ETA: Men are typically the decision making energy in a relationship. If both are trying to do all the decision making it is going to cause problems. This is not to say a woman's opinion doesn't matter, I do think negotiation is good. I'm probably digging a hole, but I don't care.
So I think Women should stand taller and make the decisions as men usually lack the instinct to do what is best for all. Yes I know I am a guy but I am not just a normal guy, I was raised by an extraordinary mom and can only aim to be Extraordinary.0 -

I get where you coming from..... and somewhat agree. It kinda along the lines of that old saying "classy in the streets, slutty in the sheets" <-- same idea. but personally I could never stop working....I enjoy it a lot.....but I am or was different when I wnet home to my husband. At home I was the typical house wife taking care of everything and him. He was pampered and spoiled. I personally enjoyed it all until he took advantage of it. and rather than seeing it as something I did out of love he began mandating it and getting violent when I didnt do what I was told.0 -
Because men have it in their DNA to be master and protector and to feel needed. When the woman infringes too much on that, what's the point?0

Well...this thread just got more interesting...in a meta sort of way.
In for the inevitable entertainment.0 -
I think it just how its done.... a smart woman makes the decisions and runs the house while her man thinks its really him.

Your opinion is so cute. Now, go cook something.0 -
This! Because if you have to have a big brouhaha made over your success and income, it's annoying. That feeling of entitlement to the acknowledgement of your awesomeness then bleeds over into your personal relationships and all aspects of personal interaction...you just haven't realized it does this, and does so--from the nature of your question--negatively.Cause women get big heads when they get sucessful and expect everybody to bow in front of them. And thats also annoying. And only loser will put up with that.
I have a great job, but the job doesnt make me who I am. Period0 -
I wish people would stop posting about off-topic stuff like "success" and "income" and "intimidation" and stick to the new meaning of this post.0

This will not scare MEN, it scares Boys

I'm stumped.
I never pay any attention to the dates, but I went back to look and am clueless. :ohwell:
eta- Okay, after some detective work, I have a small clue, but that's it. :laugh:0 -

dont think anyone realized the new meaning. but my opinion of the new meaning..... chic living in the past. lol I've never known a woman get turned down these days over fear of having a kid. Hell I've been hired while pregnant. Seriously come to the future.....0 -

Here is a thought. When I was 123 lbs heavier my husband didn't pay me much attention, he didn't care when I went out, didn't care much or at least didn't act as if he cared. Didn't mean he didn't care, and I know he loved me just things seemed to change. I lost weight, he gained weight, now he sees the attention I get from other men and he is scared that I'm going to leave him so I just recently got him to shut up over the "Are you going to leave me" He is scared I'm going to leave him for someone else. Maybe other guys are scared so they run because they deep down don't think they are worthy?
My husband also thinks that since he didn't show me attention like he does now before that I'm going to leave him. I told him that he was with me before I lost weight and during the process, he loves me for me not just for my looks, plus he is partly trained why do I wanna train another? LOL!0 -

You misunderstood...(but admittedly was not your fault at all as I was incredibly (and intentionally) vague.
The short explanation is that this post was referenced in a different post. Unfortunately, that post has been mod locked, so...
...well, I'm not sure what that means for this thread.

I think that many professionally successful men prefer women who are NOT driven to do much but look good...see Donald Trump's choices. Those who like women with money, ftoen don't have much. How unfortunate.0

You mean this thread started off saying it was one thing but may very well end up being something completely different?0
