Why is it difficult for successful women to find a relationship and love?

Question

ShadezMcgee · Accepted Answer

Because when someone is successful there is a line to how much success they have achieved and still desire to reach. The thought that comes up for men when they see successful women is that she will be very career focused and Type A personality type that will come home to them, and to go with that, the other factor is that the success the woman has will have to be mirrored or better by him because if it isn't, she will not be happy.

Women don't want to feel like they are settling for or are with a loser. So they want the best man that is going to compliment their lifestyle, goals and desires.

Many men derive a big part of their satisfaction in a relationship by knowing that they are able to provide and care for their partner. When a woman doesn't need a man for money or security, some guys aren't confident that the rest of what they offer will be enough for the woman, and becoming involved with a somewhat needy woman is far less challenging.

When you have money but not character or health, your man might be with you for the wrong reasons. I know women that divorced men who did not love them and just used them for their stable career, house keeping skills, and sexy bodies.

men want blowjobs someone humble to get on their knees for them... a successufl woman isn't about to get on her knees for a man.

Miristheiss · Answer

For the ones that it is difficult for... they spent their prime, youthful, fertile years pursuing work and not family/love. To be successful they probably have a lot of masculine, non-agreeable, pushy, bossy, take charge traits. The opposite of feminine and a turn off. They are too set in their ways by the time they decide to look for love that it is difficult to blend/mesh with someone else. If they make money... they only want a man who has even more money than her so she self eliminates millions of potential guys. If she was a secretary who make 40,000 she'd be thrilled with a guy making 70,000 (they'd make 110,000 together). But if she makes 120,000 suddenly this 70,000 a year guy is not "good enough" for her.

Pegases · Answer

From what I've seen, women with money often become like those men that have nothing else to offer outside money. Arrogant, boring, and entitled. Unfortunately their money becomes their identity. Next, in our society we tell women that they are perfect just as they are. And while that true to an extent, it's created an abundance of women with God complexes that feel they can do no wrong. So they believe they deserve quality men, when often they are average themselves.

Giddyup · Answer

I do not find this to be the case at all. If your a successful woman, the "world is your oyster" as they say.

The complications of such can be that maybe she spends more time than is necessary on her career than her relationships. So it would be important to find that balance. And not all men can handle a strong woman, but they are out there.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

How are we defining successful? Only corporate world sense? Because personally I don't really consider someone's job much of a success in and of itself. You could be a successful baker. You could be a successful server. You could be a successful animal rescue administrator. Every woman I've been with for 30 years has been successful. I don't pick up people at the soup kitchen.

Nifrayu · Answer

Because they usually aren't willing to date unsuccessful men. And successful men are willing to date unsuccessful women.

In other words the successful woman who are struggling to find meaningful relationships most likely are restricting their own dating pool to an extreme degree. They don't leave themselves many options.

Anonymous · Answer

Honestly because most of those women do not really want a relationship. or more accurately they ONLY want it on THIER terms. Relationships by thier very definition are give and take and require compromise. So women have to learn that. And some would simply rather remain single, and that's ok.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Because no amount of money can buy them a good personality or heart. That and they're to busy trying to be more like men and less like women and are just obsessed with their career convinced that it's what going to give them happiness and it's usually only when it's to late that they realize they were wrong that coupled with high standards that at the very minim have to be at their level and at their highest include men so far above them they'd never be considered in the first place.

DarkWinterNights · Answer

Because their focus is on their career and their standards are even higher than the average woman, including financial. Which results in them competing for an extremely small percentage of men, who have a disproportionate amount of women interested in them.

BourbonAndBacon · Answer

Being successful is not a relationship skill and has nothing to do with love.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Has nothing to do with how successful they are or aren't.

It's about being putting effort and being the best person you can be to attract the right man in her life.

Plenty of women do it around the world.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

DARKCLOUD1945X · Answer

DummyThiccFeraligatr · Answer

Sometimes they just have crappy luck. But the majority are single, because they're too picky or don't prioritize finding love.

Anonymous · Answer

Many of them want a guy that makes more money then them. It's their choice, but I would say they bring the difficulty on to themselves by their Hypergamous Nature. The guys that make more then they do have plenty of women to choose from.

If they really want the men that their seeking then they will have to share them, or find a guy that makes less then they do.

JesseP1nk · Answer

Because women date up not down. Meaning women who are successful want men who are as successful as them or even more.

Chthou95 · Answer

To keep the man is very difficult for these women because they're very masculine. A successful woman is more likely to have masculine traits and men dont like that

Because successful women are intelligent. They're not going to settle for just any guy.
