    Hahaha I bet most men will hate on you for this comment.

    I think they are intimidated exactly same amount as other women are intimidated by successful women or men. Women are still envious of other women it isn't just men. Thats why people try lose weight, get implants, nose jobs, screw people over at work bla bla bla.

    How do you define success anyway these days. Surely it means different things to everyone.

  • Meh... nothing intimidates a well-hung man. ;)

    Inquiring minds want to know... are you ever intimidated?

    He needs to prove his worth to me or otherwise he is just a roomate. Sorry guys, you've gotta bring the A game every day to compete. As a professional, highly compensated, genius (Bazinga!), blonde bombshell... you bring anything less then you just aren't trying. I think the intimidation comes into play because most men don't want to have to "bring it" every day. They either know they can't or just think it is too much work. You want to capture the Queen you better be the Prince.

    No one EVER brings their a game every day... if that is your expectation, then I'm sorry for both of you.
    I want someone who loves me dressed up and in heels, and someone who loves a ponytail, tank and yoga pants.

    Oh. And I would hope there's nothing going on between the Queen and the Prince... eewww. ;)

    I'm guessing you probably flaunt your success which is a turn-off.

    Bahahaha,
    Ok so they Never say your Awesome Rack ( Which i also have) is so intimidating , but comments like....
    You could probably afford that house, but that doesn`t mean i can ???
    or
    I guess if i worked with you i would have a year end salary to match.
    or
    I guess you have room to plan a trip to Italy but i don`t.... Just to name a Few.
    They relationships get AWKWARD after a few of those type Statements.

    But i guess you have to be there to get it.


    Also yeah, they will quit calling sometimes after a talk about anything involving financial info.

    Huh. Maybe that's the problem. I don't tend to discuss finances a bunch early on. Thats just me though. Those types of things come later. After you develope a bond and trust and mutual can't get enough of eachother. :)


    Yeah thats Cute....

    Somethings are just real hard to not notice money when you see it.

    Sadly money doesn't buy personality. The Trump clan, the Hilton clan and now this chick.
    I have money, why don't you like me!?!?!?!

    If she's literally stronger than me I'd be intimidated... otherwise I find successful women extremely attractive.

    Not at all. It may seem that way for some reason i am defending these tacky comments, but i work to enjoy my self, buy what i like, wear what i like.

    And give what i like. The End!!

    These comments are coming from folks that don`t know me, not even the men that i was in question about, so you can most likely see why this is an issue.

    People are envious and make Crude comments, and judgements based on their opinion. Not knowledge of the actual situation.

    OP please go back and read this entire thread and tell me why you are not successful with men.
  • No offense to anyone, but I think alot of successful women like to throw it in guys' faces. So it's not that they are intimidated so much as offened. only my two cents, whatevs...

    Men find a sense of humor attractive and you definitely seem to have one of those.
  • 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,

    I'm not intimidated or turned off by successful women. In fact, quite the opposite. What I am turned off by is arrogant, snobbish women who blame their lack of a successful relationship on their success and others' perceived discomfort with that success... instead of just realizing that it's their awful/demanding/condescending personality which is the real culprit.

    (Please don't read too much into this. I don't know you from Eve and am NOT making a judgement about you.)

    Envious of what? Your success? I don't even know what your gauge of success is. 100k a year, 200k a year? I'm not one of those men intimidated by success. I prefer a financially successful woman. And just because you have it doesn't mean you can afford it. From my perspective you're either dating the wrong kind of men or your ego is driving them away.
