I have noticed that women who are very succesful and have attained an appreciable status quo, never get married on time? At times they never marry at all, and according to them, the guys are running away.. Why?

I think it has to do with a wee bit of personal ego...most men think that if thier wife is rich or earn more than 'em is synonimous to kicking thier testicles IMHO.

Women who are successful and financially independent intimidate some men for at least a few reasons:

1. They're confident, which can sometimes be interpreted as arrogance.
2. They have their own money and can buy their own things, support themselves, etc.
3. They can make a man feel inferior or inadequate, due to reasons given in point 2.

Men, particularly African men, are raised thinking that they are to be the provider; sole more than likely. Gender stereotyping is still rampant. A woman is to cook and clean; a man is to work. A woman who can do what a man can do renders a man useless.

A lot of men have egos, even if they won't admit it in front of women. In all honesty, however, there are some independent women out there who behave like they have both an egg and sperm. I, personally, think men should be more open to independent women as they've got a lot to offer. They're fierce, bold, and can be your rock in tough times. Meanwhile, independent women should be the go-getters that they are and still be womanly. Make a man feel like the man he is; you don't have to do all and be all because you're successful. No one likes a woman with an attitude, regardless of her wealth, fame, beauty, or whichever assets she may have.

It has to do with the ego (not money). Men are naturally wired to believe that it's their sole responsibility to provide for the woman.

Sometimes they don't know where to draw the line btw confidence n an intimidating attitude. Men naturally v egos n hate to b intimidated; more so by a lady.
I tink d ladies should know when/how to juggle d life as a successful lady n a real life woman. Down to earth ladies r always fun to b with no matter waht!

1. they are not confident, they are arrogant, I may have to say this. there was a time my pops went broke and mom was d 1 feeding d family, she maintained the fact that she was in control and till date she cares to tell whoever is ready to listen (She's a good person but She's still a woman)
there are several other situations I've personally witnessed.
2. No one restricts a lady from buying things for herself, the only problem is when she starts buying for the. man, when she starts feeding the home, I tell u, any man in such a situation will turn houseboy unless he knows how to play his card with women. a man may feed. his wife. for. 10 years without having to mention it to a third party, but if. a woman does Same for a day, all her friends would know!!!
3. it's a general thing for women to Look down on people below. them in social status, the beautiful ones Look down on the less beautiful, the wealthy ones Look down on the average ones, the intelligent ones look down on the less intelligent! y do u think most women want to appear flashy? it's not necessarily to attract men, in most cases they do so to diss their fellow women....

You haven't met all women. You can't judge them all because of one or two instances. It's all perception.

1. There's a thin line between confidence and arrogance.
2. There's nothing wrong with a woman spending on a man.
3. It's not a general thing for women to look down on others. Not all of them.
4. It's not good to generalize.

1.Ego will never let me
2.i cannot stand any man telling me what to do,where to go,what to wear,when not to go out,when not to party, who to talk to,who not to talk to,infact,i cant take it.
3.two egoistic people cannot live under the same roof.
4. i cannot give up my independence for nada
5. After studying the regemented lifestyle of many african married women,e.g wake up as early as 4am,tidy the house,cook for mr husband,get the kids ready for school,prepare for work,come back home, take the kids back from school,prepare supper for mr husband,wash etc,i cannot live such a life.i refuse to let circumstances dictate the kind of life i live especially when such sacrificial life might be appreciated or might not even be appreciated
6.mrs wife always comes last in the list of priority in many marriages
7.i dont have to be distracted by any man did this and that nonsense,inlaw craps etc
8.no need hoping,wishing or praying no one cheats etc
9.share my salary with nobody except the people i choose to
10. Live my life for nobody since no one is looking up to me or waiting for me to do this and that for him.

I have no problem with independent women.

If she is not independent before I meet her. She must learn the act of financial independence by fire by force before we marry.



The major reason why most prefer to marry or date women who are financially below them is to boost their egos.The man wants a woman that will constantly stroke his ego to reassure him he is needed and a decision-maker so he doesn’t feel emasculated.

lol , take it easy bro grin

@topic...Is because the men want to be in control and they are scared they wont get that...in most cases such women can be arrogant...note that i said in most cases not in all cases.

It also requires a lot of courage to confront a successful lady if the man is not as successful.

Generally, the greatest weapon of a woman is her tongue, a successful woman would have more courage and confidence to use that weapon against a man...if the man is not as successful as she is, the penetration of that bullet when she uses her tongue against him will be more severe and "deadly" cheesy....the man may just go and commit suicide cheesy...Women can use their tongue to kill pesin o
BEWARE OF THE TONGUE OF A WOMAN grin

In conclusion, I don't think any man wants to marry an unsuccessful woman

She is successful, I am more successful...Shikenah!
