Will Successful Women Date A Less Sucessful Man? by dealordea(m): 12:01am On Mar 14, 2011
One common issue seems to be that successful women are less likely to date. Some people say that a sucessful woman intimidates men, but I'm not certain that that's the problem.

I wonder is its a case that sucessful women don't want to date anything but a more successful man. That cuts the opportunities down considerablly.

So, this is a question for the sucessful women. Wait a second. I should define sucessful, shouldn't i?

Sucessful - University Degree, working in a profession, or mangament position. Come on, you know if you are.

Would you date a fellow who was less sucessful than you? Would you date a blue collar worker?

If you're a doctor, would you date a mechanic?

If you're a Lawyer, would you date a male court room worker?

Them say Love is blind!!!!

I think stuffs like these are so common with so many successful white ladies who can date any guy they love no matter how low the man incomes are.


In Nigeria, hardly before you can see a successful lady will be bold to date someone who's less to her standard.

@OP The thing is i don't think most 'successful' women think about having a MAN or not,  .their to busy being successful?? undecided like worrying about there own business & standing their own ground.

If u ask me personally mehn, i no get time i'm focusing on that purpose if i meet him along the way so be IT!but ofcourse i want some1 who will complement who i am as person

@ topic. If i love him and he loves me, why not? Than i will make him as successfull or more successfull than me. I dont see it as a big deal.

Hmmm depends.
Taking example of the mechanic, the gap is too wide for me. If say he owns the garage shop and i no mean those road side ones. Then yes, there is a possibility. He doesn't have to be more successful, but the gap shouldn't be too wide.
My love no blind o. For me to love, all systems must be working, most especially my brain. Importantly, he should be a man of himself. Comfortable in his skin, aware of himself, understand where he is going and wants to go. The issues that do arise with gaps like this no be for me. I no get time for pesin drama.

Helooo! how many white female celebrities have you heard go out with "poor dudes", or do you people just find any smallish reason to praise white females

@OP, it's advisable for people to stick to their social class so as not to get exploited, as the chances of getting exploited is rather high and even worse on females. But i'm sure most upper class women still risk it anyways. . .

i know some will but i will strongly advise against it. men should be the provider and most time men dont like it anyway.

They see their earning power as a sign of their authority in the house

That's true however strong and secure black men will not be intimidated by successful women. It's rare to find such men however they are out there.

In some cases, some men aren't able to secure a job so the woman have to step up to provide for the family and in sensible manner it is okay for the man to take care the home only if he is unable to secure a job not because he is lazy or unmotivated.
Re: Will Successful Women Date A Less Sucessful Man? by ebonyvibe(f): 3:15pm On Oct 26, 2011
i am not saying they should absolutely not but my preference will be not to.

If it is an old relationship obviously there is nothing you can about it and also in marriage but if it a new relationship i will enter with caution.

Most men dont like it not to say some cant handle it but am old fashioned like that.
