I dont know about everyone else, but I would LOVE to be with a woman who was crass, ignorant and not even remotely successful.
I think the stereotype that men are intimidated by successful women comes from successful women who are approached by the 5% of men who figure if they approach 20 women in a night, one will sleep with them. When he figures out that a particular woman is educated and respectes herself, he moves on and since this interaction is rapid, it stands out in her mind.
So true. It's easy to find a man/woman for a quick good time. It takes patience to find a person with whom to form a lasting relationship.
I find that I don't quickly attract men (unless out at a nightclub), perhaps it's my success, but I think more realistically, it's that I don't look like a woman who is going to be "easy." The man I am currently "dating" or getting to know, is so patient, not going beyond my comfort zone. I've known him for two years and no more that a couple of kisses. Yes, it takes longer to find a man who will put up with my "standards" but the men who do persue me are very quality men.
One of my coworkers has no trouble finding men. She has the same income and education as me. But her last "boyfriend" lasted only a few dates and she was already having sex with him.
Yes, there are men who are interested in successful women, it is just a slower process but well worth the wait. I have to admit, though, being human, sometimes I contemplate finding a young man and having fun for a night, and then I come to my senses.
