is this true?are boys intimidiated by sucessful woman??

I have no such experience, therefore cannot say whether guys are afraid to date a successful career woman. However, I think that if a boy intends to date a career woman, he himself should be on the same footing. I believe that he should be in a good profession to date a career woman because if persisting dating results into some deeper and serious relationship, then on a later date their may be some 'ego' clash between the two of them, due to the level of their earnings/standing. If both are not working on an equal platrom or say if the boy is at a junior level than the career woman he is dating, their relationship may not last very long.

I think that some men may be intimidated Riyasam. But it says more about their insecurities than anything else. Personally I feel that we all have our strengths and should use them. I can be quite assertive myself, but I love that in a woman.

It all depends on how much confident a guy has in himself.You need not be a professional to woo a professional.If you are street smart,intelligent,have the potential to earn sufficient,and chivalrous nothing can stop you from dating a girl of any cadre.It is all in the confidentially and capability level.

Good question riya. I think most men feel their egos are threatened by the more successful professional or business women. Unfortunately they don't see the good points of successful women and tend to avoid them like germs. But it is a different story when you are already married to the man and create a success for yourself within your marriage life. They I think will feel proud of you. Many men don't realise that in this modern world they can assume the post of 'Househusband'. It doesn't make them less of a man!

i really do think some of them are. instead of being proud of you they resent it which is very silly & selfish. let them get out & be sucessful to, nothing stopping them but themselves. congraulation that you are.

I don't really know. I think some men are but not all. When my fiancee got together I made more money then him and it was not a problem with us.

It's difficult to tell but I think in a way yes and specially in our culture. Men are the paternal head of the family that gives them an unwritten superiority over the other gender and all the women members of the family. so, in that respect its true. But things are changing and now this is not essentially the case in urban India. I guess, you know what I mean. how are you doing dear? Hope you are much better now. Miss you. Take care, get well soon.

I think men are not intimidated with dating a successful women I think it is successful women do not want to date men who are not successful. I also do not think men can handle a women with her own mind unless they are secure with themselves.

Definitely! Men do feel intimidated by women who are successful and who speak out their minds. I know because i experienced it first hand. I am a lawyer and i have observed how men tend to withdraw and even pretend to ignore a woman who excels and stands out over men but even through all those college years, my male classmates were always intimidated by me most especially since I always excelled over them in class. Maybe they just couldn't adjust to the idea that there are women who do not conform to the idea of a stereotyped female which has been implanted in their brains since birth. I do enjoy it when they feel intimidated.

yeah its true.. most/some guys want to be the successful bread winners with the great jobs and success and when they see women that are really successful they feel they would have to compete with them or that they may not be good enough for them etc.. the woman may be judgmental and expect more than he can give etc..

yes because some reason the successful woman will be a bossy or not ime for each other.thats my opinion riya and if i am wrong dont bite my a*ss off

Well riyasam, I am not a man and I am not sure of the men's mindset, heehee. Men like to protect women, from ancient time to nowdays and I've read so many from book and heard so much from movies. We have been brained washed, haha. Really happy for you and your friend because you are successful career women, cheers! There are some dawned ones who can date women like you and not feeling less confident. Anyway I guess it's the face thing. They are afraid to be rejected by successful women, and will feel really bad for themselves, haha, that's what I see.

Hello my friend riyasam Ji, I would say that, upto certain extent, it may be true, off-course, we Indians, do not have such culture to be adopted as a tradition, like it is done in many other countries. We believe in arranged marriages, where it is left to parents and elders. Further, it amounts, who breaks the silence first. Men are found to hav emore degree of ego and they may prefer to date with less qualified/status partner to date.may god bless you and have a great time.

Yes that's the reality most men are intimidated with careerwoman... My former boss have the same situation for some women who are successful in thier career.. she had a boyfriend once and left her, because her career became her priority until she was able to achieved her desired position. Now even though she accomplished her goals nobody tried to court her, though she was very pretty and sexy, men are afraid to court her...we can all see how lonely she was and still wish for someone to love her. Everytime we arrange a date for her and the guy finds out her position in our company the guy backsout of the date. Maybe guys thinks that if they marry women with succesful career they might end up henpecked husbands this is the reason why they are scared and knocks of thier male ego.

why start it this conversation with is it true, if you are a doctor, you know the answer already, some men are intimidated by successful women that is true, but that is not that common among professionals, it is common in the working classes and below.

If I ever meet one, I'll let you know! (Just kidding of course!) I think that many men ARE intimidated by successful women, yes. Especially those in cultures where the man is supposed to be the breadwinner and in control of everything. Personally I would have no issues at all if my Wife were to be more successful or earning more money than me. She's my Wife, so I ultimately benefit from her success too, yes?

Some are. REAL men aren't. lol

I definitely agree with that. I have a friend who is a dentist. Her boyfriend would always says that "I can't bring you to my friends because I feel so uneasy because you are a dentist and I am just an auto mechanic." Some of my guy friends would also tell my that they would like to date someone but they can't ask them because they may not be able to live up to the expectations of the the career woman that they want to date. Some men would also say that they don't want successful career women because they are too busy most of the time and they might be able to ask them again to go out for a date.

Somehow this is the truth. But for me, I don't think so. Successful woman has their special charms, which are loved by most of men. What really intimidiates boys is the attitude or something else, but not the woman is successful.

Boys maybe intimidated by an successful woman but,a man would not.after all you want to sent the rest of your life with a man not a boy.a man would want his woman(wife) to be happen at what ever she was doing.be that at home or at work.a bonding is always a give and take.My wife because i am a career man and we had kids chose to stay home at first,then later she had health problems that kept her at home.but if at any time she wanted to joint the working community(not that having and caring for childard and your husband is not a hard full time job), I would be happy with that if she was.i know my wife she would and is successful at anything she does.
