Are Men Intimidated by Successful Women?

Q:
Are men intimidated by women who are as successful or as ambitious as they are?

A:
Some are, for sure. Me? I like a woman who has her own direction and friends and life and goals and work-related ventures. Some guys don’t like a more successful woman, as it can make them feel inferior and not in control. I suppose it can be intimidating for some men, but the ones who are proud of their successful partner and believe in her dreams and aspirations are the ones to look for. I guess many men don’t realize that a relationship with a career-driven woman allows plenty of time for him to do his stuff—whether it’s playing the PS3, having poker nights, or getting his own work done.

I am not a licensed therapist, guru, or magic relationship mender. This is sex and love advice from a guy who has seen both failure and success in the relationship department. I am a little jaded, a little disillusioned, a little sarcastic, yet very honest. Answers may be sincere, absurd, comical, or sometimes flat-out wrong. You'll have to consider the source, I suppose.
