I chose C - Depends, but not because I might be intimidated. I think that is mostly a misnomer. It's more a matter of attraction and compatibility. Most ambitious women I have known have not been that attractive to me because of their priorities and life choices. I'm dating to look for a life partner and a mother to my future children and in my experience the lifestyle and priorities of most ambitious women are not compatible with that.
Not at all. If anything that is just better means less worry about money and could probably spend more time together if her job ain't one were she is busy all the time.
Probably yeah. I grew up around girls that thought guys thay made less money than them were pathetic, so I don't think I'd even bother if she was rich.
dated many women with either more fmily money or more of their own hard earned money than me and its never really been an issue... i certainly was never intimidated by it
No, they don't. But I know that I would not be of interest to them. Don't really care if it offends anyone, but it doesn't come across that she came to riches through such wholesome ways.
Not in the slightest way, I have standards and goals myself. So I prefer someone with realistic goals that are being put into motion. I am a surgical resident at Emory University in Atlanta, so my time is scarce.
Unless she's wielding a deadly weapon, no woman intimidates me. And if she has money that means she won't be, or shouldn't expect me, to pay for everything. Anyway, I have dated several women who earn more annually than I do.
Not at all. She can teach me a thing or two about getting my finances sky high as well :) :) :) I am sure she and I would make an unstoppable force to be reckoned with - and I don't mean wanting her money at all!
Not at all but my primary concern in a serious relationship is will she make a good mother. If she's working 50 hours a week and traveling the globe to promote a book i think she won't make that great of a mom and therefore no interest.
The problem is not that men are intimidated by independent women, but that women just have trouble feeling attracted to men who are not more successful than they are.
Why would I be intimidated? I'm not going to try to impress her because I already know a wealthy woman would never be interested in an average guy like me. I can't be intimidated by a woman I don't care about.

Yea from experience some do
Or just want to date you because you are well off
Nope, good for her, she will have a good life. As long as she doesn’t put a gun to my head, I am not intimidated.
Would I be personally intimidated? No.
In fact, I have no problem with her as long as she doesn't imply that her accomplishments make her any better than me.
Bragging is a huge turn-off.

Most women works 50 hours a week nowadays to support their kids. Nobody stay home mom anymore
@nelly83 exactly
When you mentioned an NP opening up a day spa, my first impression is that she’s a drug dealer for a pill mill. She probably sells oxy to junkies. :/
I'm not really intimidated by it. There is a lot to be said for a person by how they present themselves. This can make it or break it.
No, I just think a woman like that is much more likely to cheat and leave since having a man make more money than them is very important to women.
She just wouldn't be the 'target' for people looking to leverage her because he financial condition isn't strong lol

I just wouldn't be interested.
You can tell a person's character by what they flaunt.
Nope it would only bother me if money was the only thing on her mind and she flaunted her wealth around you know that kind of person.
