Its not d fault of successful ladies dt d men feel intimidated arnd dem...D ryt question shld be "men, y do u feel intimidated arnd successful ladies?" cos i bliv u hv 2 get comfy arnd sm1 b4 u cn get along wt d person

Minet16:


they don't feel intimidated, rather they are made intimidated by proud women, who with out being told you can see arogance and control all over them. the men know that if they get married to them, they'll (women) be the bread winner, and wouldn't be controled. thats why rich celebs divorce like they are buying pure water

Rule no1..."Never assume"..Get 2 knw a person b4 u draw any conclusions (No 2 persons r cmpltly identical, not even monozygotic twins)

Having noticed a lot of men around me find it difficult to mingle with the very rich and successful woman,it got to me to ask my Nairalanders why this has been like this.
My previous work place , the M.D of the company was asked by a female colleague jokingly if he was going to marry a very beautiful and successful lady comes to the office to meet himand his response was" No i cant marry her , shes too successful".
From my own point of view theres this saying "behind every successful man there is a woman so why cant be applicable to women by saying behind every successful woman there is a man?

Its because an average african man have a big ego. And that's that.

I don't think men having problem getting along with successful women
Some of these women want to control the men
Think they are now wearing the pant
You can only have one head of each family not two

promise46:
That's the point
the men are scared in future the woman Will want to control them

had a discussion with the security guard around Dec period and When asked what his wife was doing he replied she is a sergeant in the Nigerian Army
And the Toyota Rav4 the guy rides belongs to the wife which you wouldn't know until you are being told
Just imagine Techno crime guard being the husband of a woman sergeant and to my surprise they are both Igbos
To me i think it has to do with understanding among the parties involved

Advertico:
nice point, bt the Igbo part mhen explain more

promise46:
well i totally understood igbo women for their ever increasing quest for money and getting married to successful men.Buh the case i mentioned earlier about the sergeant and security guard thing was a different thing entirely
Never believed Igbo ladies could be this submissive even when they earned higher than the man
