    In my experience most men aren't. It's just the petty men (and women!) who are intimidated by the success of others

    and this^

    because a man needs to be needed by his woman, he needs to feel like he can take care of you, if not financially than he will fix your car, your sink etc, and often times independent women make men feel as if he's not really needed.

    Some men are intimidated, but not all of them.

    It would scare a lot of men for a woman to be aggressive, more successful, smarter, make more money, etc:laugh: . If you like the types of men that are intimidated by that, then show your softer side and allow them to think that they are the hunter (even though you already have it all mapped out how you are going to allow them to hunt you).

    If you don't want to play that game, there are men out there who will appreciate that about you.

    I think this is becoming less and less the case. I was chosen because I was a badazz as he describes me. i guess that was a prerequisite for eventually staying home and doing nothing but MFP all day? wha? :noway:

    I need to find a man who appreciates my professional success and realizes that I am a badass! I think it's awesome when a woman can go out into the world, make something of themselves, be successful and then eventually choose to stay at home. That is what I ultimately want to do, but it's hard to find a man who isn't scared of my success.

    I don't know, but DH did state that to me once... must be some truth to it for SOME guys (probably not all).

    If that's the case... then I'm screwed... I have a great job, I'm 6'1", I box, I have and use my own power tools ... there goes the need to protect, support, shelter, and home improve...


    Oh but wait...
    I have an ex that makes me cry on a regular basis... so maybe I can hook someone with my emotional vulnerability.




    OP... I'm so sorry you suffer so...
