Are Nigerian Men Intimidated By Their Counterparts Successes? by Nobody: 12:19pm On Nov 08, 2014 |
This is a question that has bn on my mind cos of the attitude of Naija men to successful ladies. You meet a man and you start talking.... and then you tell him you have a masters and he doesn't have one.... trust you know the end of the story. And some are just intimidated when you earn a better salary than them even when you are quite humble about it..... they still feel less of who they are. And less I forget, they think the ladies with good credits in school are just a no go area. Some even feel you should not use a better phone, laptop and other devices than them. And hey, when you cruise in a better ride, they just feel you are just better than them. Dear men, what have you got to say about all these? |

We are all different. On my part, i don't feel intimidated by the success of a female counterpart. Although there are times you feel somehow about it. It should be a motivation to to achieve more. |

Cutehector4u: Well, I'd like to believe there is........ Very humble? Say, accommodating. And not bossy.... Very humble is highly unlikely. Money, fame, success dey high.. Look out for successful women with the fear of God. They're more likely to be humble. |

Men that has got no better idea than their certificate you mean? level of exposure could be responsible for that, sometimes inferiority complex and lack of idea. |

Every man likes to feel in charge. So when they see a female doing better, they'll definitely feel intimidated. And sometimes, it drives some men to work harder |

Yes, most men are. Its just human nature. |
Re: Are Nigerian Men Intimidated By Their Counterparts Successes? by okabe(m): 8:05pm On Nov 08, 2014 |
I wouldn't call it that, it's not much of intimidation as it is sheer caution...I really believe men generally avoid successful women because of their attitudes. Anyways, me I love successful independent women! Anyday, anytime! |

Thanks y'all for your contribution. From d comments so far, it is safe to agree that men are intimidated by great and promising women. Anyways, I think men should just be more up and doing, and see their successful women as healthy competitor, and also a motivator, rather than intimidators. |

Re: Are Nigerian Men Intimidated By Their Counterparts Successes? by scribble: 7:16am On Nov 14, 2014 |
cutebebe: It depends on the man. Personally I don't care how successful a woman is. All I care about 1. How big is her booty 2. Can she swallow more than half 3. Can she cook akwa ibom soups? 4. Is she pretty? I'm not attracted to a successful woman who has none of these home making skills. If you like be Exxon Mobil CEO.... Somebody has to get on her knees, just ask Hilary Clinton |

Re: Are Nigerian Men Intimidated By Their Counterparts Successes? by 100Cents: 3:42pm On Nov 14, 2014 |
cutebebe: Dear lady, a lady being able to feed herself is not an achievement. The average Nigerian lady depends on a man. So its normal for a lady like you to feel like a champion because she doesn't depend on any man'.. I haven't seen ladies owning cars and houses at my age. So I don't have an answer to this question.. If you have a car at 28, someone bought at 26. If you built a house at 31, someone built at 28. So everyone's achievement should be a motivator for me to succeed. |
