A lot of men tend to be so intimidated by strong, successful women
mainly because most males still believe they are meant to be the head of the
household. Until today, a lot of men still feel that there is a competition
between them and most women in the workforce. This can lead to a rift in
relationships, because for a relationship to be successful, it should be
nurturing. Also, Both men and women should encourage each other when it comes
to their personal and professional lives.
Instead of getting intimidated, it would be better for men to actually
date successful women. Here's why:
1. She is very self-dependent
Women who have successful careers are independent in almost all aspects
of their lives. These women understand what it means to work overtime, and the
importance of having an alone time. Thus, they don't have problems when their
partners have to focus on work or when they have to relax. Successful women
also have their careers, money, and friends, which they can all manage well and
on their own.
2. She will help you succeed in life and in your career as well.
Successful women are driven and very eager to move their lives and
careers forward, and you can expect them to do the same thing for their men.
Career women don't consider their life partners as competitors. Rather, they
always wish for the same success as they are having with their husbands or
boyfriends. Men can also expect successful women to help them brainstorm for
their projects and how to meet their deadlines.
3. As a couple, you can have more money.
Dual income is often good for relationships. Successful career women
care a lot about their jobs, and their income, of course. For a man, this would
mean having less worries about family finances. Men can also enjoy a part of
their income for travel, fun, and others. At the same time, the ability of a
career woman to make money can significantly help in their efforts as a couple
to build the life they want to have.
4. She can appreciate even the small things.
Women succeed in their careers because of determination and sheer hard
work. They do their best at work every single day, and this can cause them to
feel tired and stressed when they come home. Men shouldn't be concerned,
though, because this could also mean that she will be able to appreciate the
little things more easily. In fact, by offering to do the dishes or setting the
dinner table, men can see how happy these things can make her.
Life coaching experts always say that when it comes to keeping
a relationship, it is important for both a man and a woman to be successful
individually, so that they may easily find satisfaction in their relationship.
Men should not consider successful women as a threat, because the truth is that
these women can be very helpful in their lives and even careers.
