Successful female business owners who are sexually attractive and single are intimidating.

[Tashki]

I think successful female business owners who are sexually attractive and single are intimidating.

it’s because she’s financially independent and has more money than me so therefore, she will more than likely disqualify me as a potential date because I would be incapable of financially providing for her as her man due to me not being socioeconomically as high as her.

Secondly, owning a business requires leadership and taking risks. Men are more than likely to become leaders of a cooperation and to take risks which why men work at riskier jobs. If I work for a cooperation and make decent money VS her owning a business and makes more money than me, She will see me as being incapable of leading in the relationship. Traditionally, most men in relationships are dominant and most women in relationships are submissive.

There’s something called hypergamy where you form a relationship with somebody who is socioeconomically above them and most women operate this way naturally. You never hear about a female lawyer or doctor marrying a man who works at McDonalds or Walmart. That’s why it’s intimidating.

It doesn't bother me. I have as little chance with them as I do with Soggoths who make minimum wage but intimidating, nah bruv.

OP - it has been said before. You need help. You have a completely warped sense of the world around you. You are hyper-focused on women and yet have a disdain for them at the same time. It is unhealthy.

I would absolutely love a strong independent female - they know exactly what they want and from my personal experience only, they are very honest and up front - no drama. Love that - NO DRAMA! Did I mention that the sex is great as well, they do what you want and we do exactly what they want - win win win win.......

I find smart, successful women very attractive, and have never felt intimidated. Part of that maybe is that my privilege and hard work has brought me to a point where most would consider what I do “successful”. But even in my area, women who are more successful than me are not intimidating. A woman who knows what she wants out of life, relationship and in bed is super hot. Guys that are intimidated by this may need to look inward for the source of that feeling of inadequacy.

How pitiful is this?

You haven't even stepped out of your house into the world and you already lost.

Most women will not commit to a man who makes less money than them.

This whole site is full of those.

I don’t know if this is true (ie for “most women”), but suffice it to say I know many couples where the woman makes more than the man, and they have been together for years.

In the cases where women prefer to make less than the man it’s a combination of traditional gender roles that people have grown up with, as well as insecurity/feelings of inadequacy that many guys have about this issue.

OP you're right about practically everything, but why would you become intimidated by such a woman? Someone successful like that is resourceful and you can learn from them. When it comes to relationships, she's unlikely to give you the time of day so why invest any energy (positive or negative) into your feelings? Just find someone more suitable for yourself.

That's not true at all.

I make excellent $$$ and I was in a relationship for almost 8 years with a lovely woman who made more $$$ than I did.
There is a certain point when it doesn't matter who has a larger income since you can both enjoy the lifestyle you want together since both in the relationship are successful.

She kept pushing for marriage which I was clear with her from the beginning I was against.
Eventually, I walked away feeling nagged.

We kept in touch for about a year and then it all faded totally away.

You seem like a bit of a masochist, so here's some good examples of successful business women. Why not take them and go hide under the sofa where you can enjoy cowering in fear. You're welcome!

He's probably referring to a situation where the the man does not make "excellent $$$". Would your odds have changed if you had worked at Walmart or earned a Walmart salary? Likely.

That's not to say there is anything wrong with it either. It would be akin to saying it's wrong for women to prefer dating men who are taller or physically stronger than them. On average these are also true, and that's just the way the ball bounces.

This is exactly right.

He is referring to successful AND attractive women, those range from OK to meh to fire and lots of it.
Also you have no idea what they are like in real life.

I am not saying I agree with him, but posting some pictures of what might as well be fictional characters for all we know of them proves nothing.

Ive dated quite a few women who made more money than me. its not that they are intimidating. its just that they posses certain traits that I dont find attractive in a woman. truly successful women work longer hours and tend to be more aggressive and hardened in terms of their personality to compete. they focus on their career. almost masculine in the way they present themselves.

Im not interested in a career woman, who cannot commit time to building a relationship or perhaps a family. a soft feminine woman who is cooperative and has time to put into a relationship that she wants to grow.

honestly I dont think Ive met a woman who has ever intimated me.

Who said anything about Walmart? This makes no sense to me. Maybe there is a point to be made but I apologize for not comprehending it.

I'm talking about professional, executive salaries above the sunshine list, for both people. Focused, educated and erudite.

My point is: it doesn't matter if a woman is successful and stylish. That is not intimidating. In fact, it makes her more likely to seek out a better quality of life: the Symphony/Opera, foreign films, trips to NYC, Montreal or Quebec City for cool events. Mutual interests is what attract people to each other and share together.

So long as the man is also successful, even if he makes less than her, both will enjoy an excellent lifestyle.
