I don't see anything wrong in airing my opinion on a societal issue such as this. You see, most people are just trying to avoid the truth! We still have a long way to go

moHot:
it's frustrating when a successful woman is married to or dating a man who is not as successful as she is, because the things she do with the purest intentions will be misinterpreted and that's because of the notion most men hold about rich women.

It's not easy and what makes it more difficult is the inferiority complex of some of the men.

HOW TO EXCEL IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP AS A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN
1)Your 'submissiveness' has to be way more than the woman who is not as successful as her man
2)you have to let and make him be in charge ....make him feel he is in control. (even if he is not) Trust me it works, he has to have a feeling that he can still be head even with all ur wealth
3) you have to know you can't talk to your man the way an average woman would, you can't even say somethings when you are angry; any other woman can be rude to her man and get away with it but a rich woman have to be careful because your fat bank account will be blamed to be responsible for your rudeness .

Even the man who can't control or earn the respect of a woman he feeds will want the woman who can feed herself respect him and surrender herself to be controlled .?

Most times its not about the rich / poor woman respecting you, it's about you earning that respect by being THE MAN.

I doubt if he has a "faithful" girlfriend.

Nigerian society measure the headship or 'goodness' of a husband based on his pocket.

They also see the headship as a license to do as they wish aka unquestionable

A typical Nigerian husband wants to be the 'head' So his pockets has to be heavier than that of his wife.

A number of women do not want to marry a husband that is not the 'head'

Some of the women who earn higher are also very heady too

Emdeejay:


Queensmith I would like for you to see this. I have no strength to reply

Mrdrix:


What is the truth? That a man should marry a woman who is successful financialĺy because he wants to prove he has high self esteem, even when the woman does not have other good qualities like humility, respect etc. Are you sure you understand what you're saying?

cococandy:
I lost a few brain cells reading this poo. So punishing oneself taking public transport, begging for lifts everywhere when you can afford a car is a sign of humility? And that's something that a man with functioning brain finds attractive?

Who did this to you people?
Like the most retardedd shyt I've ever heard in my life.

Wait she even needs a man's consent to buy a car with her own money.

I feel like I get stupider every second I spend on nairaland because here's like the den for propagating the most stupid things ever spouted in the history of mankind and maybe if one is not careful this foolishness might be contagious.

Missmossy:
I concur, Nigerian men are really use to the assertion that such women are often proud and as such won't be submissive. It really goes beyond all of that i must confess Such mentality needs a big change

hensben:
Mr have you ask yourself why there is high rate of divorce in western world...too much liberty to the female folks, of course, women misinterprete liberty and over use it, they see it as an opportunity. To deal with male folks.

queensmith:


*sigh*

It's unfortunate Nairaland is such a popular website, people reading these comments will assume all Nigerians have such myopic views.

Emdeejay I equally have no strength for this nonsense early in the morning prior to my 4 mugs of coffee.

Who told this Muppet head the high rate of divorce surpasses the whole of the 'western world' what made this mumu assume it was countries with greater womens rights that have high divorce rates? What makes him assume divorce is low in Nigeria? Is it because they don't have data?

What should we even begin with? The fact that alot of women lack the funding to divorce their husbands? Does that compute to a successful marriage? That many lack the social standing and literacy needed to proceed with litigation? That the Nigerian customs and traditions leave women in the bondage of abusive marriages? Is that what he is celebrating in the name of his developing country having assumed 'lower' divorce rates?

Under what rock do these people crawl out from - women have misinterpreted the liberty which is our right to decent lives though we are not born with pen**es? We have no work to do in this world hence our primary duty is looking for opportunities to 'deal with you'?

This is what you used all the brain cells in that skull of yours to conclude? I weep for humanity.

Tallesty1:
Share your view where? In books or personal experience?

Those people write/display what will earn them money and fame.

Their life could be totally different from what they preach.

Set your own path dearie else you will never be No1.

Tallesty1:
Ok VickyBee. I no wan fight you this morning. How are you

topemirates:
Have read so many comments on here but d truth is, dating or marrying a more successful woman isn't d the problem but the major problem lies with the woman's attitude, character n belief... Here, respect, understanding and love sure plays a vital role...

Heard of a story, dunno if it's true or not...

The wife practically is d bread winner of d house, tho the husband is working but the wife is extremely richer than him...



uhmmm. ..Such d0 happen

The mansion they live in was built by the woman...

So, one day the mother-in-law came visiting from the village and the wife who was at home at that moment refused to let her in, the mother called her son to let him know what's happening, the man rushed down from work n d wife refused both of them in, simply stating that she built the house with her own money...

@ op, what comes to your mind here

I'll love to be on a safer side if u know what I'm talking about **my opinion

Cheers!!!

DarryOsh:



in fact, you gave given a perfect analysis of the issue. Cheers!

cococandy:
my dear you will only feel inferior if you're really inferior as a person compared to Your partner. Money or not.
So if a guy feels inferior to his woman, he's probably truly inferior.

If you're a great quality person, even the one with money will respect you willingly or unwillingly.
You will just command the respect without trying to.

Tallesty1:
You made valid points but this line sucks.

So I am inferior if I dislike what other people like?

What happened to choice?


If at all I have inferiority complex then it should be about my superiority complex. In other words, I have inferiority complex about my superiority complex, I know I am better than them all and I feel bad about it.

Defcon1:
At the end of the day, you marry who you are comfortable with, with or without money.
I don't see anything bad in a man feeling he would not be comfortable with a certain type of woman.
ls it inferiority complex if a woman chooses not to marry a man in the entertainment industry, because they are perceived as womanizers??

It's just personal preference.
l don't see any inferiority complex there at all.
This piece is just personal opinion, with hasty generalization.

It could be a personal opinion but it wasn't generalized hastily!

Rapmoney:
Seriously speaking, ur reasoning is very poor!!! How are you better than women? Just listen to yourself! That you are 'better' than women? Sorry, you have absolutely nothing sensible to say!

DollyParton1:

Boy next time you quote me, make sure you use your brain. Don't mention me, and post trash like this.
