Bahahahaha, Well i didnt mean your Boss, i meant your Girl, or Possible girl.
Men get all indifferent once they find out a few things about me which include Income, Talents, Goals i have Checked off as complete.
I hate when this happens,
Is it just men though? In my experience a lot of women get insecure (and sometimes *****y) when dealing with someone who has more ambition than they do. I think it's a human thing, and people who are unsatisfied with themselves but lack the motivation to do anything about it, are intimidated by and jealous of those that want to better themselves. I don't think men are any different, but due to social stereotypes, people expect that kind of thing (i.e. *****iness, the cold shoulder) from other women due to jealousy, etc,. The main difference with men, I think, is that some men are raised with the bull---- idea that they are supposed to be all round better than women (i.e. stronger, more capable, earn more, etc) so they may have additional subconscious pressure and feelings of inadequacy when faced by a woman who's more ambitions, successful, stronger, etc.0 -

Very true. LOL
in all honesty, I'm shy in real life, so I don't make a lot of eye contact with people I don't know... it ends up making me appear aloof. The only time I meet new people is at boxing... and I'm usually punching them.
I will admit... at boxing... I'm scary as hell!0 -
I wasn't aware that "most" men were intimidated by "successful" women....:huh:0

Perhaps it's only the men you are attracted to. Some guys like successful, intelligent, strong women, so find one of them. You don't need to date or marry most guys. So why does it matter if the other 3 or so billion aren't interested?Bahahahaha, Well i didnt mean your Boss, i meant your Girl, or Possible girl.

Why do Strong, Successful, Talented, Women intimidate Most Men.
Just an Observation i had found to be so true in my own life.
Why is this ??? Any thoughts???
Insecurity.0 -

If i went on a date with someone and she talked about how much money she made and how "successful" she was i would become disinterested not intimidated0

A lot of guys want to be the hero and save the princess. If you are already successful and powerful, you don't need to be saved. You don't need a hero.
Well that just bites !!
Possibly.... but for boys, who want to control you. Because once you are "saved"...then what?
OP, you want to find someone who is your best friends, and will be regardless of your professional career & income status, because that can change over night. Best guy is the one who wants to walk with you side-by-side, not ahead or behind, not "save you" from something. If someone needs to be "saved" from something they are not ready for relationship. Basis for good relationship are 2 people who are looking to make someone else happy for all the right reasons, not themselves.0 -

I am not intimidated by succecssful women, but perhaps successful women might be more intimidating to me.
P.S. why would any man feel intimidated by a girl that is a good cook or good at cleaning? Does not make sense.0 -

Is it a quilting business or perhaps a home cleaning maid service?0 -
Why is it you never hear the word/phrase, "Strong successful men"? It's only in referring to women that phrase is used.
Frankly successful women don't intimidate me. My worst bosses have been women and my best bosses have been women. I have a wonderful woman boss now. Could not do my job without her.
When I hear the word strong with a woman I think of someone who is belligerent, obnoxious, and self righteous. The reason for that is because I've seen so many women point at other women who had those qualities and say "She's a strong woman."0 -
Who are these men you speak? I love, respect, and admire "strong women". My mother is one and I'm trying my best to raise one.
So again who are these men?0
