Do men feel threatened or uninterested in a confident woman with a college degree and a high paying job?

Do guys feel threatened or uninterested in a confident woman with a college degree and a high paying job? A common misconception it that they think she may put a job over her family and not take care of her children which is not true. At least not for me or the women I know. The main reason why women strive to be independent is because when she is financially dependent on a man the relationship may not always work out or the guy she's with may be a jerk and kick her out. If this does happen she will be left with nothing and with no way to support herself. But if she has her own income or a college degree she won't have to worry about that happening. Yeah she can find a job without a degree but many of those types of jobs don't pay enough to buy a home or apartment. But a college degree will give her a high paying job that can pay enough for a home. And no I'm not saying all men are bad. But a woman might not know this because lot of bad guys can be very charming and manipulative. So what's your opinion?

It's a common misconception that all men feel threatened or uninterested in a confident, educated, and financially independent woman. While there may be some individuals who hold these beliefs, there are also many men who value and respect women for their intelligence, ambition, and independence.

It's important to remember that every person is unique, and that there is no one "right" way to be attractive or desirable to others. Some men may prioritize traditional gender roles or feel intimidated by a woman who has achieved a high level of success, but others may find these qualities to be extremely appealing.

Ultimately, it's important for individuals to prioritize their own values and goals, and to seek out partners who share those values and are supportive of their ambitions. It's possible to have a successful career and a fulfilling family life, and there is no need to compromise one for the other.

In general, it's important to approach relationships with an open mind and to avoid making assumptions or generalizations about others based on their gender, education, or profession. By focusing on building meaningful connections and supporting one another's goals and dreams, individuals can find true happiness and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.

It's a myth created by feminists to have something to complain about since women are now more than welcome in the workplace and no one has a problem with it. Hell even the old guy who grew up in a male dominated workplace are ok with women there.

Men are simple creatures. We only feel threatened when faced with a person we have no chance fighting (as in someone taller and bigger) and today the number of women who fit that category is very minimal so no. Men don't feel threatened by women

Not even slightly. The reason you have issues finding good men is because of one simple thing. Men will date down, because the things you mentioned, A college degree, And money do not matter, even a little bit. Where as women who have all of that, refuse to date down, They want a man who has all the same things that they have limiting them to the top 10% of men, while falsely believe that it increases their SMV, They become arrogant, and quite honestly insufferable.

No we are not intimidated by women like you, women like you dont even register on our radar.

No.

Women have their mate selection criteria and men have theirs. The two are not the same but some women seem to rate themselves high value on female mate selection criteria and think men should be interested but they may well not be on male selection criteria.

It is a feminist trope that men feel threatened when the reality is they are just not interested in that woman.

Nope. she's doing well for herself so more power to her. I agree with you, if she becomes financially dependent on a man and the relationship were to crash and burn, that wouldn't be good. But a college degree doesn't guarantee you a high paying job, though. But people can be very misleading, and that never ends well

I think weak men are uncomfortable with it, but money doesn't matter if you seek love. I don't disagree with your claim though.

Why can't you women understand. Men are not "threatened" by hard charging executive women, we simply have no interest in fighting our own corporate battles and challenges, only to come home to a masculine woman who wants to compete at home as well. Home is supposed to be a sanctuary and women like you turn home into another battleground. I can find stress and competition anywhere, what we want is peace and harmony. Modern women do NOT have peace and harmony to offer.

I think "threatened" is the wrong word. I'm not a climber. I don't care what other people think of me. I have a lot more wealth than most people with more prestigious occupations than I've had.

I say "congratulations" to her for her hard work and accomplishments. But I'm willing to bet we are not the same type of person. I'd rather be with a person that makes themselves into a success rather than wants to be a cog in this worlds machines.

It’s not necessarily threatening to guys but it just might cause them to lose interest. If you can provide for yourself (nothing wrong with that) and don’t need a man and if he doesn’t need you, then there’s no need for a relationship at all.

Not intimidated, just uninterested.
