Why Do Successful Ladies Marry Late? by chayooh(f): 5:33pm On Nov 04, 2010
Is it cos guys are afraid of her enlightenment or don't like ladies who are successful.

Do successful women really marry late? Most of the ones I know are already married with two to three kids.

I think its because they concentrate on career development to the exclusion of a love life.

By the time they are what they want to be carreer-wise, of course some
reasonable time would have passed.

Also, from the onset, a man is slightly wary of an overly ambitious female and
unfortunately ambition is what makes one successful.

Men just prefer a soft, moderately ambitious,easy-going female because that, for some reason  projects
calmness, sensitivity and  care.
(not some shrewd boardroom cut-throat Mz of a waspish lady)
That doesnt project ,relaxed fun, babies, romance etc.

I would rather go for a sexy, curvy and relaxed gurl working on the shop floors of John Lewis or house of frazer
than some lady that works till 9pm every day hammering out multi-national mergers in the square mile.
That saps femininity out of a woman; she'll get home and cant relax.

Let me chase the greens and get the stress while you keep your softness, baby.

Many of them are so busy with their pursuit and forget that time is not on their side.Also due to their high taste they are so selective.To some it is due to the fear of falling into the wrong hands.To some still they see those who approach them as gold diggers or finders who are only after their money.

To some it is due to their preconceived naive nature when it comes to the issue of marriage.To some it can be a form of curse or spiritual bondage.To some well meaning guys are afraid to marry them for fear of being controlled by such ladies.As many of them can be so domineering.

It is because they don't engage in relationship earlier. They normally focus on their target and work towards it when less serious ladies are getting pregnant. Kudos to all ladies who focus on success and achieved it instead of just being a man's slave or 'property'.

I might be wrong but this topic has repeated itself at least half a dozen times in the last two years.That being said, successful women delay in getting married mainly because they seek partners of at least equal footing (if not better and more successful than themselves).It's the way women are built and no one can change that.If you ever see a successful woman settling down for a guy who's not up to her "level", it's either because :

(1)She's getting too older and needs a "sperm donor"
(2)She's butt ugly and NO successful guy or UFO will settle for her (unless she's Iyabo Obasanjo will the billion billion naira package)
(3)She's from a rich home and has her head messed up with great phucking from some street guy and she wants him all to herself.

Nuff said!

Because they spent more time on their career than they did to their personal life. Everything you achieve has a price to pay and that is just one of it
