I was actually told once that no guy will want to be with someone who makes as much money as I do (which I am pretty sure they grossly over estimated how much I do make) and who is as independent as me, men want to feel like men. I was very shocked by his comment.

I had another guy who expected me to pay for everything, like all the time. He lived at home (which there's nothing wrong with) without a job, or even caring to look for one, and still borrowed the car from his mom. He just didn't have any ambition to do anything - which is very opposite of me.

For women, it's almost like be successful, but not too successful - still make less than your partner does, ...

I don't know where this comes from, but I'm guessing it came from some dude who doesn't feel adequate and is intimidated by someone who does. I think it's amusing that the only way that guy feels like a man is if the people around him are less successful than he is. I, personally, am the opposite. A successful, independent woman is exactly what I'm looking for. Now that doesn't mean I expect her to pay for dinner!. . I always pay for dinner. . If we get married, she can pay for dinner sometimes. .
