His Point of View

It seems as if single women who have attained a level of success are  erroneously blame emasculation as a major factor in their failed relationships with men.  I am here to tell you that this is a false line of thinking.  I do not know of a single case in the real world where a man was run off because the woman he was dating was too successful.  This whole idea of emasculation resulting from dating a successful woman is pure hogwash.   I would dare to say that the women who believe that their success causes men to run and hide are either seeking out the type of men who feel as if the man has to be 100% in charge of every facet of the relationship or these women are in denial of the fact that they have one or more flaws in their personality which is repelling men.

What men don’t like no matter what level of success a woman may think she has is as follows (in no particular order):

*Women who think that their degree(s) mean anything within the relationship.  If you think that your Bachelor’s or graduate degree gives you more power within the relationship you need to think again.  If you have a Bachelor’s degree and your mate has a PhD I am certain that you would not be delighted for them to continuously use their level of education as a tool to make them feel as if they have the upper hand in your relationship.

*Women who think that the fact that they make more money (or the fact that she has a certain job title) means that they are superior to their mate.  If you are dating someone who you feel is on a lower level than you are, you must ask yourself why you are dealing with this person.  Obviously you must be benefiting from the relationship somehow or you see some potential to benefit from the relationship, otherwise you are the fool.

* Women who are dirty/nasty.  Having a job is no excuse for being filthy.  No man wants to date a woman who is not at least as clean as he is meaning both maintaining personal hygiene and a clean home.

*Women who are obsessed with their job.  I think any man who dates professional women has met a few who have nothing to discuss other than their work… you must have a life outside of work.  Leave the office at the office…don’t bring the office to your dates.  No man wants to know the name of everyone in your office after the second date.

*A woman who can’t think for herself.  This includes women who have to consult their crew in order to get permission make any decisions related to the man she is dating.  If you can make business decisions with no supervision you should be equally able to make relationship decisions on your own.  Note: if all of your girls are single or their romantic life is a revolving door, how much advice can they really give you???

Those are just a few of the mistakes that women can make that might run off a man who is not intimidated by her success.  The moral of this story is that if you(male or female) continually get the same results from your dating encounters there is a great chance that you need to need to step back and see what you are doing wrong, or what part of your personality might be driving people away.   Ladies, let’s stop playing the emasculation card, because that’s not it.  And in the rare case where a man is truly intimidated by your success and he runs away you should be thankful that he eliminated himself, as you should not want a person of that nature anyway.
