Lovexme:

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 angry

God bless you brother. Women think all the responsibility is the mans' and their only responsibility is giving him babies and food.

pro01: Women need to understand that most men do not rate them by their level of success or accomplishment.

If I want to indulge my libidinous cravings, I go for a voluptuous and sexy chick. If I want a relationship or marriage, I go for a level-headed, well-behaved, sensible, and God-fearing woman. In either case, her so-called "success" or "financial independence" has nothing to do with it. Only a lazy gigolo or broke-ass mofo would be impressed by a woman's financial success. A financially stable man needs a woman for other reasons. In most cases her success/wealth is a distraction rather than an advantage.

In terms of desirability, only men are judged by their wealth and financial status; women are mostly judged by their beauty, deportment, and personality. It's as simple as that.

I' am dating a lady a lady who is financially well when compared to moi. She's been there , done that and treats her self to to some little luxuries.

It all depend you as a man: do you see her as a meal ticket or a means to an end.

It's not a hidden thing though , sometimes she likes to blow her trumpet as an achiever and i often get irritated bout it but still love her though .

On the other hand when we are together , she is just as ordinary can be , but she never stops to tell about what money can buy and you should buy.

I've never asked her for money and she has never given me , the most i've received from her was worth like 1k or less.

many times , i've wondered if i could keep her at home ,cause the truth is that ,they don't sit when you tell them : if you get what i mean. I always have good idea on where and how best to send money

Like one someone said if get a rich one that is humble ,:praise and honour her parents cause they really did a good job.

If you get one that loves you and you truly love her, then go for her.


Ciao

there are several other situations I've personally witnessed.
2.

African mean ar wired to b the giver and provider and african women are Wired to be the reciever. Wen d receiver becomes the giver,d giver should be ready to be the receiver. Successful women tend to think they are the mEn.
And y am I even saying africa, infact women in general.

D more inteligent, smart and successful a woman becomes,the more difficult it is for her to keep her Man.
The ego of a man is bolstered when he knows he is in charge,and when a woman is in charge her Ego also grows,but because of the nature of women,they develop attitude alongside without knowing and there can't be two captain in a ship.

Still searching for that humble woman.

When a man desires an independent woman he doesn't desire a woman with attitude. He only wants a woman that can be supportive and a woman he wil support,a woman that can be
independent and submissive not just because of his Ego but because that's the only way a relationship can work. Evry Man wants a WOman not a MANwo

kulyie: 1.Ego will never let me

1. I have come to realize that the Ego most times is a front. Sort of like a defence mechanism to scare away potential predators...

kulyie: 2.i cannot stand any man telling me what to do,where to go,what to wear,when not to go out,when not to party, who to talk to,who not to talk to,infact,i cant take it.
2. Its not as bad as that.. However, with these women, its not business as usual. You cant treat them like those Mr. Biggs girls. They will be respectful, but you cant trample on them like you would a village girl.

kulyie: 3.two egoistic people cannot live under the same roof.[/color]
3. Well.....

[quote author=kulyie]4. i cannot give up my independence for nada
.

4. They all talk tough.. but most actually know when to pipe low. They however will not rollover and play slave to any man. (Plus! Why will any man want to have a slave as a partner?)

kulyie: 5. After studying the regemented lifestyle of many african married women,e.g wake up as early as 4am,tidy the house,cook for mr husband,get the kids ready for school,prepare for work,come back home, take the kids back from school,prepare supper for mr husband,wash etc,i cannot live such a life.i refuse to let circumstances dictate the kind of life i live especially when such sacrificial life might be appreciated or might not even be appreciated

5. Well true this.. They are not from the domestic housewives club. These women are career women. They do take care of their homes well though (Sometimes even better than fulltime housewives), but they will never be seat at home wives. These women will hit the peak of their career and professional lives. Thats the only way they can be truly fulfilled in life. Try to change that and you are in for trouble.

kulyie: 6.mrs wife always comes last in the list of priority in many marriages

6. #Explain please..

kulyie: 7.i dont have to be distracted by any man did this and that nonsense,inlaw craps etc

7. Na only Lesbians they yarn this type.. grin

Most times men can be a big distraction (and vice versa). Cant blame them. You need to know that these women have a good thing going and would never want to delibrately mess it up.. They are different from other women and thus should be dealth with differently.

kulyie: 8.no need hoping,wishing or praying no one cheats etc

8. Lol.... Not Applicable..

kulyie: 9.share my salary with nobody except the people i choose to

9. YEAH!!! Thats a valid fear.. Especially with the number of useless boys around town fronting as men. The 'SHARED RESPONSIBILITY' crew.. The decision of sharing her money should be her choice not mandatory.. A REAL MAN IS NEVER CONCERNED WITH HIS WOMANS MONEY!

kulyie: 10. Live my life for nobody since no one is looking up to me or waiting for me to do this and that for him.


10... Hmmmmmmm!!!

if u are a female I really sympathize with u in advance!
what exactly is civilization? the ever rising divorce rate advanced countries or the fast disappearing institution of marriage?
every ship needs a captain.. two captains can't mount a ship..u can't change the universal order of things, it is undeniable that every society has members who have separate roles, it is only when these roles are discharged effectively that a society attains equilibrium.

good luck!

bro, you just said my mind jare esp in the last 3 sentences. No need to sympathize with no one. She's got a choice, its a free world. When people tryna mess with the natural settings of things all in the guise of civilization, things get messy and we humans cry blood! Nature has got her way, so perfect in its own. Just look at the world through and you'l see d the problems man created for himself: social, ethical, political, financial imbalances, e.t.c. Mother earth her self is sick.

Just as the popular adage that says "behind every successful man there is a woman" this goes a long way in proving that no man is an island and even when a woman is wealthy and very successful in life without a man by her side she is so incomplete as the contemporary African society frowns at such,if such a woman is void of pride and is as meek as a dove why wont peace reign,being successful is not a threat afterall.
Re: Why Do Guys Run From Successful And Financially Independent Women? by SeanT10: 1:03pm On Nov 15, 2013
these women are so arrogant. @ opt, if u ever met one, u wont b asking this question. A few of them that get married dont have respect for their husbands anymore. imagine the man bathing the children in d morning [the wife came back home late cos of a meeting ], the husband having to go pickup the children from school because she cant make it.
If u ever date a single successful woman, u are in soup. nothing matters to her if not her success. u will have to write application before u kiss her. should u attempt kissing her without her approval, u go her grammar die. the day u want the koko, oboi u will buy roses, burn candles nd play music throughout the night. if by chance she gets an Email from d office during that period, all u labour for goes for nothing cos she needs to work.
My dear friend, there is no place for marriage in their lives.

I was brought up amidst very sucessful women,who are far richer than their husbands e.g my mum,my uncle's wife,my aunty,my mother in law etc.
These women have so much respect for their husbands dt sometimes I get angry.at least I learnt dt having more money than your husband does not mean you should rub it on his face.
It all boils down to the kind of home training you got as a lady.
No african man will allow you rubbish his ego just because you are richer than him,so all you rich single ladies,drop your shoulders find yourselves good men,don't die single,old and frustrated .

Wow Mr Raymond, take a chill pill and soften your obvious dislike for the opposite sex with such fame. If u understand them and have their antidote, trust me you are a lucky man. Yes I agree with you that some ladies that have attain success can be disgusting but you can't close the door because you have experience some nasty ones.
Raymondenyi:
Will u shut up n don't write what u know nothing about;
D ladies that achieve such firm n re not mingled with disgusting attitudes! Don't tek timme @ all to get married... It is the once with attitude! Moreover over 98% of them got attitudes, so what do u expect... When stable, they quickly place people they believe re below them! Behave anyhow to them! N always will wanna shw class.. How do u expect such attitudinal being to get mmarried? ( Generally we all know ladies re very greedy n self-centered beings, little 1da, why 2 ladies can't leave in a room 2geda) then imagine d type dat is stable, wat will u expect..,
