jamesbridget13: success na success. Whether na business tycoon or whatever. U rather prefer a banker as a wife? I am a govt teacher n wish 2 venture into some good business in due time. That wont stop me from fulfilling my marital vows when i get married. Never!!!U get ma point partly.......just so you know, teachers make good wives ,I fink dats becos of their discipline....so as a succesful teacher/business woman is far better than a business tycoon |

From my point of view, men and women change when they start making money. I have friends who change and find it hard to say hi when they come across a little money but they will be the first people to call out your name on the street when they get broke. I have nothing wrong with my woman being independent and we are presently working together on building my business and hers. However, men need to realise something. Respect is earned. If you are broke even your friends(guys) won't respect you.in your quest for respect from women, get a job or start a business, stay focused and ensure you attain your goals. Remember, the world only celebrates success and not mediocrity. 4 Likes |

Raymondenyi: Boy, it's time to go back to school! From your rantings, we can only deduce that you suffer from low mentality and low self esteem, go and work on yourself and you'll start seeing those successful independent ladies as your equals or even as below you instead of always feeling below them when you're in their midst. Good luck! 4 Likes |

I think a reasonable & wealthy women should help their men out of dependent living if they want to enjoy their homes. The two should not relax until that is done. So also the men, should make their women less dependent. Once done, it'll raise the man's ego as he resumes his role in the family. The order should be maintained. My take! |

consultancy: It simply has to do with d pride,ego and carriage dat cums wit success n affluence..no man would want to b controlled by a woman who feels shes in charge cos shes made wealthExactly! Men have pride and ego they value and would want to protect at all time and at all cost. They can't stand being disrespected and controlled by a woman just because she is rich and already made. |

Personally, my idea of a independent woman is one that doesnt need no man to cater for her needs at all no matter how much or little she earns. Such women earn my respect. Concernin the op's question, 'tas already bn answered by most comments. But its really cool when you find a rich woman and still she's humble, submisive and virtuous. Such women just sweep me off my feet! 1 Like |

My answer to this is simple; if women were to be the presidents of U.S.A, Britain, France, Russia, Italy, China, Japan nd Germany all at the same the same time...as u hve with men, this world as we know it would have ended due to war with each other. Too much Ego problm, hence Women complain abt men but will do worse when in men's shoes. |

kulyie: really? so the longer a man's preek is,the bigger his money right? Try lati malo common sense e die die na Nobody is talking about the size of anyones equipments here.. All I am saying is that; 1. Most powerful women actually do have an ant up their asses.. They are just too darn arrogant. MOST!! Not ALL.. 2. Most of the guys that run away from these sort of women are not Mature guys.. They are mostly jokers. 3. These women can smell bullshiit from a Mile off.. They dont suffer fools. They are always on the look out for Moochers hence the arrogance most times. 4. The men who can actually match up to the expectations of such women are almost never available. They are either married or engaged. The answer to the OP's post is; Boys run away from such women, Men are limited in supply.. 2 Likes |

A Guy who has no job got married 2 a banker, despite his fears and several advices that it's not good to marry without a job. Every month the girl wud give d guy her full salary of N135k afta removin her tithe.The guy would give the wife N20k 4personal upkeep and the guy determined what happened to the remaining money. This happened for 3gud yrs. There was happiness in d family and d wife never refused to do her primary home duties for that 3 years, despite wrong advice from friends that 'you can't be paying the bills and still be doing all the wok'.There was a particular month d guy used about N70,000 2travel frm state to state for different interviews. He finally got a job with a gud firm in Port-Harcourt.His salary was N600,000 monthly 4 a start. He bought his first car (a brand new) for N4.5m, he gave d wife the car key,& continued to take public transport 2work for abot 2yrs.Then he bought the 2nd car for N6 million, took d keys of d first car & gave his wife the keys of the 2nd car.They eventually moved into their own house after few yrs. One day, d wife was looking 4some documents.She stumbled on a file neatly hidden, when she opened it, she saw her wedding picture when she was very slim in d first page of the file.She then saw dat d document 2the purchase of the land and every other thing in the house were all written in her name! At d last page was the husband's wedding picture and a note written by him: ''MY WIFE IS ALL I HAVE GOT. NOT EVEN THIS HOUSE WORTH N24M AT THE TIME I BUILT IS MINE''.Tears started to roll down her eyes.This couple got married in 1998. Last Sunday was their wedding anniversary with 3 children.True LOVE still exists till this day. Are you sure the love you have for ur partner can be compared to this one you just read?No matter wat, remember u chose each other. It doesn't matter who puts food on d table or who pays d bills.... culled from seth jones facebook page. 11 Likes |

I'm an African man by nature... I still do things the old way... Though I like financially Independent ladies(Ones that are ɑ hell richer than me) as girlfriends... they are very useful but will definitely not get married to one. I must be 60% wealthier than my wife if I no want my marriage to turn to hell. |

CFCfan: It has to do with the ego (not money). Men are naturally wired to believe that it's their sole responsibility to provide for the woman. That's the belief of those in the 60s. Responsibilities are meant to be shared, and that includes finance, cooking, and even shopping for groceries. Yes! Groceries 1 Like |

I can't marry a financially dependent lady funny enough. Both of us must be doing well financially, I wasn't created to sponsor a lady. |
Re: Why Do Guys Run From Successful And Financially Independent Women? by myads890(m): 12:30pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
Mr Aboki: I agree with you. The funny thing about the male gender is not all boys grow into men despite their age. Women were not created to be under us, they were created to stand by our side. To all the "males", you need to ascertain if you are still a boy or if you've actually grown into a man because women only respect "men". 2 Likes |

I think some of these financially successful ladies need to maybe change or broaden their circle of friends. I noticed a trend recently which sort of formed this opinion. I realized that a number of financially independent ladies who finally got married after waiting almost endlessly, got married to guys they knew from many years before; probably in secondary school or university, or in the neighbourhood they grew up in. These are guys who knew them before they started earning the fat salaries. Guys who know their true person and not some perceived diva status. In some cases, even when the guy is obviously earning less than they are, it didn't pose a problem because the guy knows where they are coming from and appreciates and respects the fact that they've made something positive of their lives over time. The really key in these cases being accessibility because there was an existing relationship. So maybe these ladies need to get outside of their usual circle of friends who hangout at only the poshest of locations and mingle more with people who are not necessarily in your "social status". Let these people get to know the real you. It won't de-rep you or cheapen you. This also applies to guys who say there are no good girls out there. There are, you are just not searching in the right crowd. 4 Likes |
