Do men get jealous of women's success, sometimes to the level that they can't live with it, what do you think?

OH YES, they most certainly do! I saw it with my own eyes when I was younger (parents) and again with a few slightly older friends. I fell into the sand trap myself, even though I didn’t think I was at the time…. Oh-f-ing-well…. Life happens.

Some guys can’t handle that a gal is better at something than they are.

MY ISSUE is that I *know* I’m better than my guy at SOME things, however THE GUY is better than me at OTHER things… so we balance one another out. And I’m OK admitting that, however some guys are too insecure to be able to say… ok, you’re good at this and I’m good at that…. (I don't know why. It’s one of life’s great mysteries.)

[Light_beam]

lol, it is male domination issues.. they believe males has to be better im everything..

[DishLady]

I’ve seen guys marry a gal just to destroy her then file for a divorce… that’s worse than just domination. It’s very toxic.

[DishLady]

I have very “macho” uncles and male relatives, but they still respect their women and treat them like gold. Being a dominant guy doesn’t preclude respecting others.

[Light_beam]

right.. but those men don't know that..

[Amy_Mi]

Yes, some do.

Not because her success threatens their life, but because it exposes their lack of depth.

A secure man celebrates a woman’s rise.

An insecure one mistakes her light for his shadow.

He can’t live with it, not because she outshines him, but because he never learned how to shine beside her.

Real men don’t compete with their woman, they build empires with her.

The rest just prove why she had to outgrow them.

A queen’s success doesn’t intimidate a king, it completes him.

[Light_beam]

if only every man can be a king !!

[Amy_Mi]

Exactly, and queens only align with kings, never with boys playing at titles.

A true king doesn’t need to prove himself, he uplifts, respects, and builds.

The rest? They just show why a queen must keep her crown polished and her standards untouchable.

So yes, let every man aspire but know this,
Not all men are ready to reign beside greatness.

Some men do the same as plenty of women get jealous of men… People who are insecure and try to tear others down to feel powerful.

Sure, there is the fake boss bitch feminists. But the average man doesn’t have a issue with a woman for being successful. Just people who are losers and desire to tear others down. These same people are also tearing people down who have less then they do to feel powerful. And tear down people who have more to their level.

Most actually don't care about a woman's success or lack of success. That is one of the things most women don't understand. A woman with a degree making $50,000 per year isn't more appealing to most men than one working part time at a fast food establishment. That is something many women value in a partner, not men.

I'm sure it hurts a few guys egos. But not the ones in the 21st century

[Light_beam]

lol.. it is male nature

[curiousandhonest]

@Light_beam Not at all. Or are you saying that those that don't get jealous are not men?

[Nikki1989]

Many do, but men being men, they will never admit to it.

[Light_beam]

many men admit it

[Anonymous]

I don't think I've ever been jealous of a woman's success.
