Are Some Men Really Intimidated By: Self-sufficient and independent women?

Or simply ashamed? perhaps if they had not reached the desired stage where they have thought they would be and this woman already has achieved that all?

Men & women what are your views?

stop using 'Self-sufficient and independant' as an excuse for trashy behaviour.

Lots of ladies get relationships everyday, regardless of what they have.

an independent and sufficient woman is kind of a challenge for many men. and most men wouldn't want to be challenged by their women. scares d crap out of most guys. they fink it makes them less of a man.  undecided undecided undecided undecided

Blame the system and blame the mothers (which most of you will be someday).

The system and mothers drum it into the men to be the breadwinner or nothing else.

And most ladies consider themselves 'successful' when they find a wealthy man.

So . . who's to blame?

a lady's financial independence only implies i have one less thing to worry about.it doesnt mean she can't be dependent on u for some other things, say security? many girls needs d man to do all d thinking for them, or some emotional loving? even spiritual advice n guidance sef believe me, there's but one thing dumber than a man in love -a woman in love. typically, a woman truly in love will defend her own! less accomplished man or not.and my nigerian girls aint different, even d NLers who say they cant take a bullet 4 my hommies -na lie!!  grin u'd see a lady beaten blue black everyday and ends up in hospital for corrective surgery, she still says '. . but i love him'

confused @ bolded, though It all boils down to the Egocentric nature of the man in question, but i wld want to believe that in this world of today, men dating and getting married to women more accomplished than they are is becoming a thing of the norm, only downside is it's usually more challenging to maintain such relationships.

Re: Are Men Really Intimidated By Successful & Independent Women? by Nayah(f): 9:38am On Aug 09, 2011
I'm not going to say intimidated, but it's kind of paradoxical behaviour, some are claming not really appreciated woman who "beg" but in the meantime they don't feel "useless", so I'd answer it depends on which type of women some are dating

Re: Are Men Really Intimidated By Successful & Independent Women? by LongOne1(m): 9:57am On Aug 09, 2011
I guess it depends on the Lady in question. In the first place, how many Women in Nigeria become self-sufficient and independent based on just hard work?

Some sleep around with their bosses/alhajis/married men/politicians to achieve this and when they meet men who aren’t in their league, they talk down at them, showing their true nasty character.
Re: Are Men Really Intimidated By Successful & Independent Women? by Nayah(f): 10:04am On Aug 09, 2011
Long One, I'm sure Nigerian women try or are working already maybe it depends on the culture and the work opportunites, because i've seen a lot African ladies trying to put a bit money for feeding their families so let's try to see longer more than blaming easily
Re: Are Men Really Intimidated By Successful & Independent Women? by LongOne1(m): 10:27am On Aug 09, 2011
@ Nayah

Yeah, it’s probably a culture thing. The downside is it might lead to the Lady drumming it into her boyfriend’s/husband’s head that she bought this or that, as men are expected to provide for their girlfriend/wife in the Nigerian culture.

In the West, it does not really matter. My Black, British flatmate’s girlfriend has a graduate level job and a brand new car-he does not have either, but he feels quite comfortable tagging along in the passenger’s seat. He is still the Boss, and she gives him respect – In Nigeria, this would not suffice, as he would probably receive alotta insults from her.
Re: Are Men Really Intimidated By Successful & Independent Women? by Nayah(f): 10:33am On Aug 09, 2011
So you see Long One, we can explain some behaviours ( not all of course) because yes I'm sure some women are "lazy" doing something for their own, but try to undersant in which culuture and environnement you guys are evolving, do you think if Nigeria would offer more job opportunities, some women would be "beggars" as some are saying?
