You are a woman who has a lot to offer a guy. You need not worry about the men who are so insecure that your qualities would scare them off. I only have a high school education but have many talents in other areas. Dont loose heart you will eventually find a guy that will appreciate you for all of who you are.

I think I have the solution to this problem, and here are some things to consider
1. politics will give most men the hebbie jebbies even thinking about the word
1b. the word politic is in the word politician
2. when someone wants an educated woman they mean on the same level as they are
3. The government is not known for making the best of decisions
4. The govenment is known for irresponsible acts if not downright evil
5. guys do not want decisions made for them no matter what.
6. when a guy thinks that a dicision is being made for them it results in disaster for both people especially the woman
7. most guys will never let a woman be in charge of certain things in the guys life
8. sometimes when a woman has alot of accomplishments in the past the guys try to find a way to undo all of them no matter what the cost.
9. some of the stuff that you mentioned are like a patient in a doctors office and the patient is not comfortable especially when it comes to medication.
10. more likely one or more of these situations are in effect all the time
11. you might have ran into these situations from time after time
12. there are so many more that I might have not mentioned
13. you might not want to bring this stuff up when dating.
I hope I might have helped a little

I think the topic is too general. To answer the questino...sure, SOME men want a successfuland educated woman. I might add that some men want the cure grocery clerk, some want the cyclist woman, some want the stay at home mom, some want the woman with no ambition ...etc... you get the point.

Since you, OP, appear to be somewhat successful and well educated, just move on to the next guy who has no issues with it. We do exist.

It is not about being a self sufficient person. Your success is a minimum for me. It's about an uncompromising or combative attitude. They use intimidating because that is what some think politically correct rather that calling it what it is in more vernacular terms.

Just an observation from my past, successful educated women have more of a open mind and are far less judgemental. If a guy has differences to offer, and is good with her children possiblities for success are there. Personally I like the freedom and the challenges. Financially it is nice to be treated to dinner, and a good conversation can amaze each other. When leave dinner and each of can say "You know I didn't know that about........." it was a good time.
