| Are Nigerian Men Intimidated By Their Counterparts Successes? by Nobody: 12:19pm On Nov 08, 2014 |
This is a question that has bn on my mind cos of the attitude of Naija men to successful ladies. You meet a man and you start talking.... and then you tell him you have a masters and he doesn't have one.... trust you know the end of the story. And some are just intimidated when you earn a better salary than them even when you are quite humble about it..... they still feel less of who they are. And less I forget, they think the ladies with good credits in school are just a no go area. Some even feel you should not use a better phone, laptop and other devices than them. And hey, when you cruise in a better ride, they just feel you are just better than them. Dear men, what have you got to say about all these? |

We are all different. On my part, i don't feel intimidated by the success of a female counterpart. Although there are times you feel somehow about it. It should be a motivation to to achieve more. |

Most men, irrespective of nationality, are intimidated by their countetparts' success! |

Cutehector4u:Well, I'd like to believe there is........ Very humble ? Say, accommodating. And not bossy.... Very humble is highly unlikely.Money, fame, success dey high.. Look out for successful women with the fear of God. They're more likely to be humble. |

Men that has got no better idea than their certificate you mean? level of exposure could be responsible for that, sometimes inferiority complex and lack of idea. |

Every man likes to feel in charge. So when they see a female doing better, they'll definitely feel intimidated. And sometimes, it drives some men to work harder |

Yes, most men are. Its just human nature. |
| Re: Are Nigerian Men Intimidated By Their Counterparts Successes? by okabe(m): 8:05pm On Nov 08, 2014 |
I wouldn't call it that, it's not much of intimidation as it is sheer caution...I really believe men generally avoid successful women because of their attitudes. Anyways, me I love successful independent women! Anyday, anytime! |

BreezyRita:i pray i meet one tho |
| Re: Are Nigerian Men Intimidated By Their Counterparts Successes? by Nobody: 10:05pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
Thanks y'all for your contribution. From d comments so far, it is safe to agree that men are intimidated by great and promising women. Anyways, I think men should just be more up and doing, and see their successful women as healthy competitor, and also a motivator, rather than intimidators. ![]() |

The only woman I don't feel intimidated by her success is my Mom. |

| Re: Are Nigerian Men Intimidated By Their Counterparts Successes? by braindamage(m): 10:57pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
Quite the opposite for me. If I am attracted to her, its a plus..the brains + the sexiness.. That could make me miss the epl with the boys on saturday, to be with her. |

cutebebe:Nope. Some aren't. Some may feel intimidated by it n some may nt. It'll push some to work harder and some will even be proud about it. BTW....If I were a lady, any man dt ll be intimidated by my success is the exact type I will not think abt getting married to. |

cutebebe:It depends on the man. Personally I don't care how successful a woman is. All I care about 1. How big is her booty 2. Can she swallow more than half 3. Can she cook akwa ibom soups? 4. Is she pretty? I'm not attracted to a successful woman who has none of these home making skills. If you like be Exxon Mobil CEO.... Somebody has to get on her knees, just ask Hilary Clinton |

cutebebe:Dear lady, a lady being able to feed herself is not an achievement. The average Nigerian lady depends on a man. So its normal for a lady like you to feel like a champion because she doesn't depend on any man'.. I haven't seen ladies owning cars and houses at my age. So I don't have an answer to this question.. If you have a car at 28, someone bought at 26. If you built a house at 31, someone built at 28. So everyone's achievement should be a motivator for me to succeed. |
