I think a lot of people need to feel a sense of one-up-manship to be secure, so they choose a partner who is weaker than they are, or less attractive, or less successful. It takes a fairly secure & generous person to be able to handle the success and strength of another. In some cases a less successful or weaker man will be attracted to the strength of a woman. Takes all kinds. Many possible reasons. The strong women sometimes seek weaker men also.0

Not me. I'm married to a very bright, talented and successful woman. That's why I get to be a stay at home dad and only work part time.Why do Strong, Successful, Talented, Women intimidate Most Men.

Men with complexes are the ones who have that problem. I've worked for women supervisors before, never affected me.
It only bothers me (man or woman) when they can't handle their job. Once a supervisor has lost my respect, I become what they call "a sandpaper employee". they can't write me up for not doing a good job, but they hate meeting with me because I don't give them any breaks at that point :P0 -
Yep.quality men are not.

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,0 -
Not all men are intimidated by successful women. My husband married one. 0
-
In my experience most men aren't. It's just the petty men (and women!) who are intimidated by the success of others0
-
Perhaps to be afraid of not being "enough" or "afraid" of not meeting some "expectations"..0
-
Because you're just so amazing. Duh!
Bahahahah Yeah Thats it !!0 -
Successful woman turn me on and if they make more money and need a personal assistant /manslave thats cool too lol0

I'm not, really. I'd rather talk to a girl who is successful, intelligent, and smart instead someone who you can't carry any conversation on with because they have no social skills.0

Why do people ask questions that stereotype the attitudes and behaviors of an entire group because of a few experiences they've had?0

Well many men want to be "the boss". I was fortunate enough to find a man who is actually very attracted to strong women (he greatly admires Margaret Thatcher, Condeleeza Rice, etc.), we have been married almost 30 years. He says I challenge him to be a better person. He is SECURE enough to not be THREATENED by a strong, successful woman. Instead he is PROUD that I chose him for my husband.0

^This...x10000 -
I really don't struggle with that so this is just a guess. Men are competitive by nature and are always seeking to conquer something. (Some men have been able to conquer this more base part of their nature) A successful woman means one of two things to those who haven't conquered it. 1) She has risen further than he and he feels defeated by her and is therefore intimidated, or 2) She has risen above him but he will not take defeat lying down so he sees her as something to be conquered.0

Stereo Typing was not the Plan !
I am 33, my experiences have been more than A FEW.
Just looking for feed back. If you don`t have any useful feed back, its OKAY not to respond. Thanks.0 -

Hahahaha...I'm successful, independent, smart and I do need a manslave/personal trainer/chef! I have a big empty house too...I'm taking applications 0 -
I think you are generalizing , I for one have a Stong and very successful wife. She was a bank branch Manager and her strength has helped motivate me to achieve more with my career to the point that she choose to stay home with our child. Keep looking and you will find a guy who will admire you for your strengths.0

Whose Face is on this Ticker ??? LOL0 -
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.0

This is a public forum. It IS OKAY for someone to post anything that may not be the response you don't want to hear.
And unless you've met and dated 100% of all the men in the world, at least in present day - what you asked is generalizing a group of people.0 -
