Why are so many men intimidated by a successful and pretty woman?
Whats up with this guys?
Being successful in carreer means a woman has to show a lot of male chracteristics. Its like dating a man then And even worse....I hate guys who are arrogant just because they made some good deals last week.

Few men will feel intimidated if the woman is treating him with respect. When it still happens despite this, then it probably boils down to him having a strong belief that the man should be the primary provider and thus, he feels like he's failed in some way when this doesn't occur. Centuries of tradition is hard to break for many, but we'll get there.

Noooooo. I dont want to date men with boobs. Noooooo.
Personally I would be happy for a girl whou would make more money than me. I could stay home and
I could stay home and take care of children....they are fun.
But Im telling you....I never met a "successful" carrieer woman who would be OK with a guy who is less successful and most of the time they cant shed the "Im the boss here" act in private.....so repulsing. I want feminine woman.
I am a successful woman; i mean woman....all woman! I am not a man in a womens body guys
Now, when I am not at work I prefer a man to take charge..I am not out for money and dont care how much a man makes...our careers do not define ourselves....I jst want a man to like me for who I am, which I find that they all find me intimidating....so I guess its a no win on my part! Or maybe jst have not found the right man to believe that I am honest, faithful, and not controlling or demeaning at all.

This pretty much nails it. Many so-called "successful women" are bossy, arrogant b*tches. A generalization, I know, and I'm sure there are successful women who do not fit into this mold. Nonetheless, it seems to be true of many career women. The part about such women displaying a lot of men-like qualities is also very true (you can't succeed in the business world without having such qualities).

Are you having trouble with all men or just someone that you are intersted in?
I believe that women can be a success without bein intimidating, they can still be feminine at the same time. Wouldn't a man want a woman who can take care of herself and does not want a relationship for all the wrong reasons.

Well, I have had past boyfriends (one of three yrs) say that I dont make a man secure by how indepentent I am...well I believe that just cause I went to college and got my degrees, hold down a good job and maintain a house should not be held against me...I am not bossy or arogant as I can see it. I also have many domestic qualities, love to cook, sew, take wonderful care of my two duaghters and actually go out of my way to help others...especially a man I am interested in. I do my own lawnwork etc....that to me is not intimidating or is it?

That is not your issue but his... I guess it is just letting him know that you need him sometimes... ask him for help with the yardwork ect...it does not all have to be about money, people like to feel needed, in a positive way

That's completely untrue. I know many people think it is, because I've had interviews with people who have mistaken my unwillingness to be bossy and macho as not being confident. But there are people who don't have that opinion. If you're good at your job, you can succeed without being an *sshole or a b*tch.

You're either dating really insecure guys or you're doing things you're not aware of to make men feel emasculated. I've got a degree, have a well paying job (in a male-dominated field), am buying my own house, sometimes fix things on my own car, etc.. None of the guys I've dated have ever been intimidated by that. They're usually impressed.
I think a lot of women turn men off, because they think they have something to PROVE to men about how independent they are.

No, its not completely untrue, far from it. But there are more women like you than people seem to realize.

Sorry to be confusing. I was referring to the part I bolded. I know there are women who act like that. I meant it's untrue that you have to in order to succeed.
