1. they are not confident, they are arrogant, I may have to say this. there was a time my pops went broke and mom was d 1 feeding d family, she maintained the fact that she was in control and till date she cares to tell whoever is ready to listen (She's a good person but She's still a woman)
there are several other situations I've personally witnessed.
2. No one restricts a lady from buying things for herself, the only problem is when she starts buying for the. man, when she starts feeding the home, I tell u, any man in such a situation will turn houseboy unless he knows how to play his card with women. a man may feed. his wife. for. 10 years without having to mention it to a third party, but if. a woman does Same for a day, all her friends would know!!!
3. it's a general thing for women to Look down on people below. them in social status, the beautiful ones Look down on the less beautiful, the wealthy ones Look down on the average ones, the intelligent ones look down on the less intelligent! y do u think most women want to appear flashy? it's not necessarily to attract men, in most cases they do so to diss their fellow women....

If a successful woman like Mrs Alakija can settle down,raise four kids,be the worlds richest woman and still be submisive to her husband then i think and believe we can all get along. Weather we believe it or not,success robs a woman or a man of his/her humility to a certain degree. But dont be qiuck to forget that success for a man or a woman also depends on his or her ability to grow,nurture and make a home.

Opera Winfrey might think differently,but who gives an ape s**t.

Hmmmmm I'll give a robust reply to your post in due course
Amaaskia: They run because they're usually intimidated or cause they wanna be the financially successful person in the relationship smiley.

However I believe this (whoever is more financially successful) shouldn't matter as long as there's love and understanding in the relationship.

Well I mean, Men have been independent for 1000's of years. Women have had the "Opportunity" to become independent for about 30 or 40 years.
Granted I don't expect many women to actually know what being independent is or expect many to actually be such (Even though I know many women who actually are).
The one woman said a gentleman will always pay, Yea we will, But only if you are a "lady". and a Lady is not independent. No, if your independent you can pay "sometimes", or split it 50/50. There are no freebees for an independent Adult.
Personally I am independent and I always pay, but it would be nice to meet a real independent woman who would go, I got this baby and pay the check.
Or one that would buy ME something occasionally instead of always expecting me to pay for everything and buy everything while saving up her money to do whatever she wants with it, Then leaving me when she finds out one week or month I might be broke because all my money has to go to bills.
Your independent.. and your dating me, Why don't you help me with my stuff occasionally?
Whats the topic again?? Oh No, Men aint scared, Boys are!!
Do I ever expect to find a woman that will do this and actually is independent? No.
Would it be nice if I did? Hell yes.

ogugua88: Women who are successful and financially independent intimidate some men for at least a few reasons:

1. They're confident, which can sometimes be interpreted as arrogance.
2. They have their own money and can buy their own things, support themselves, etc.
3. They can make a man feel inferior or inadequate, due to reasons given in point 2.

Men, particularly African men, are raised thinking that they are to be the provider; sole more than likely. Gender stereotyping is still rampant. A woman is to cook and clean; a man is to work. A woman who can do what a man can do renders a man useless.

A lot of men have egos, even if they won't admit it in front of women. In all honesty, however, there are some independent women out there who behave like they have both an egg and sperm. I, personally, think men should be more open to independent women as they've got a lot to offer. They're fierce, bold, and can be your rock in tough times. Meanwhile, independent women should be the go-getters that they are and still be womanly. Make a man feel like the man he is; you don't have to do all and be all because you're successful. No one likes a woman with an attitude, regardless of her wealth, fame, beauty, or whichever assets she may have.

Most guys don't really run from successful and financially independent women.
The sensible men still play them with expertise until we have our fill.

Trust me, successful and financially independent women are the most desperate of the pack, their arrogance and million-dollar ego doesn't let them admit it.

Re: Why Do Guys Run From Successful And Financially Independent Women? by Originalsly: 12:14pm On Nov 15, 2013
Is it really guys run from successful women?...or successful women cannot find a man to marry? @ topic...men run from women for the same reasons whether the woman is successful or not. Like it or not...men and women are wired differently. Men are naturally dominant ...that's just the way it is....regardless of his earnings, his status or whatever. Most successful women believe that because of their success that they have become the dominant one and should also be wearing the pants ...hmmm....wearing the trousers! Two .bulls can't live in the same pen therefore the man will either keep it moving....or stick around mainly for material gains. On the other side...so many women have no time for relationships while chasing success and success does not come overnight. By the time they have attained success and ready to start a relationship it is too late since most of the good men have already been married and the few unmarried ones do not want commitments...and that is the foundation for this popular lamentation by successful women.....men run from successful women!

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.
