In fairness, you're probably not going to find a thread where an OTer blames his relationship problems with a much higher earning woman on the fact that he's worthless and insecure



Then how do you know it's a matter of insecurity?

Most of the men that complain about women saying this are the very men that are afraid/intimidated by successful women.

Not saying you fit that bill, but I'm not not saying it

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

My wife was smart enough to get into an Ivy League school. I wasn't. On several subjects she can talk way over my head. But I make more money than she does and have more common sense about how the world works.

I'm also prouder of her educational background than she is. She thinks it's pretentious to say anything about it. I bought her an alumni sweatshirt and car decal. She refused to put the sticker on her car and won't wear the sweatshirt outside the house.

Not a lie. There are many insecure men that pretend to be alpha that can’t handle strong women.

Has anyone ever met a single man that was legitimately AFRAID of a woman because she was "too smart" or made too much money


Yep. I truly believe my dad is.

I think the correct word is wary.

Men just want a nice set of tits on a woman who isn’t too mouthy. Feminists can’t understand how simple it is.

I'm impressed as hell by a smart woman...

that's one of the biggest turn ons for me is someone I can have a really intelligent conversation with instead of what NBA player a Kardashian is fricking

You keep asking for an answer. It’s not that simple and I certainly am not going to spend the time researching links and articles to prove my point.

You started the thread. Review the replies and do your own research.

It definitely is a thing. Ive seen multiple times, online at least, of a man saying he can't date a woman who makes more money than him. Or even men who will say they refuse to allow their woman to work a job, because they feel it invalidates them as a man or some shite like that.

Personally, I couldnt care less about stuff likr this. Ive told my wife if that there becomes a time where my wife makes a lot more money than me, and we had a newborn baby. I wouldn't even have a problem being the one to leave their job to stay at home with the baby.
As a man I will do what is best for my family. If that means my wife has to be the breadwinner for a specified time then so be it.

Hell, I've seen threads on this website started by men who are bothered when they saw a car with a woman driving and a man in the passengers seat.

It's not every man, but yeah, some men are definitely upset by it.

I’ll be honest, I am attracted to intelligent women. I mean who isn’t? But ain’t no amount of brain powers can replace a nice rack and good BJ in a clean house after a nice home cooked meal.

Another thing is it can be exhausting trying to keep up with a really smart person whose mind never stops working.

Calling men out as betas if they earn the money and don't control it, now we have a thread asking why men have a problem if she earns the money and wants to control it.
