Why is it that successful woman have a hard time finding a man?

Question

Is it true that successful woman have a harder time finding a man? And how come?

Answer 1

I honestly don't think successful women have a harder time finding a man. it really depends on the type of circles you move in. I know lots of successful men who are attracted to successful women, and they tire of the bimbo-types after a while. In my experience, successful men (those who are confident , mature and secure anyway) want successful wives, or equals. remember, people then to be attracted to others similar to them. so if u'r a girl who's hardworking n smart, please don't dumb yourself down. intelligence and success can be devastatingly attractive!

Answer 2

no it is not true successful woman have a harder time finding a man. You just not looking in the right spots. Try not looking and see what happens. But don't tell a man you are a successful woman or they might just use you like all men. Find a guy that will love you for who you are in side. Good Luck!

Answer 3

In a man's world as we know today, success does not come easily, a lot of hard work, pain and back stabbing.

When a woman reaches that point in her life, she finds that she wants to be in control of her life and cannot give that up. A few find a guy that says fine, in the house we share everything, outside world in your own way you are boss same as i am in mine.

Men too are scared of a successful woman, they feel that they will be dominated by her and feel unsecure about the whole idea.

Most successful women I know about are either married to or are living together with a much older man, older man has been through all that trauma and the younger woman gets all the attention without any competetion about statues.

Answer 4

I find that a lot of people say that. I think it might be because some men are intimidated by sucessful women. I'm a successful woman. I have a career as a paralegal, a house and a car and make really good money. My husband is a thug. I needed a strong minded and strong willed man to handle me and he turned out to be the one. I can't have a square because I'm too head strong and I'd walk all over him. Also successful women have different social surroundings and are always working so most of them don't have time to "man search".

Answer 5

Most men have a deep-seated need to provide for their spouse and family. If there is no need for them to do so, they feel lost. So a successful woman ends up having to choose between the wimps who don't mind that a bit, or an equally successful man who will feel like he's competing with her on some level.

Another issue us that becoming successful often means a woman has to act like a man (or at least she thinks she has to) to be taken seriously in the workplace, and when that becomes habitual, she's no longer attractive to healthy men.

Answer 6

A successful woman is more independant and has higher standards.A successful woman creates her oppurtunities and takes the one's before her.She's strong minded and strong willed.
Its hard to find men who can accept these attributes in a woman and be okay with them.And some men who do accept these attributes seem to be a little more submissive than a successful woman wants or needs.
An accomplished woman learns patience though and when to create the chance with a man or take a given chance with a man.But successful women usually prefer things to be on their terms and their time which can also be hard on a man.
But again an accomplished woman learns patience creates paths and goals and goes after them...

Answer 7

I'm one of the successful woman and i know what you are talking about. I think its the fact that we have worked pretty hard to get us where are at and our next step is always to go higher. The real focus in finding a guy is normally the icing on the cake where we know exactly what we want and we don't work hard towards it like we would do in our career. Yup, we think that it is so easy when in fact its not. So, balance your career with your emotional life, don't overdo the career, put some work into finding the real man for you and work hard in keeping him.

Answer 8

Because successful women won't lower their standards for just anybody.

Successful women would likely want to know a successful man, not just some Couch Potato, or similar.

Answer 9

Do you mean that because you have a job that you do well in, that's the grounds for considering yourself a sucess at life? I don't understand...if you can't even find a man that pleases you, what makes you think you're 'successful'? Man...times HAVE changed...

Answer 10

Sometimes it might be harder, because a lot of men are intimidated by a strong and indepedent woman. But you also have to look at yoursefl and make sure u arent just dating one particular type of man. If you are, expand your horizons.
