Do you feel like you are a second class citizen when you date a successful women? Many men think that high powered, high earning women don’t need men because they have essentially taken the man’s role in a relationship. Well there is a great article at MSN about this issue.
According to the article: ” Q: What kind of problems can arise when a woman is more successful than her date?
Andy: The worst thing she can do is emasculate the guy she’s dating in public with respect to money. Comments like, “Oh, I wish we could come with you, but Bob here doesn’t make enough money,” said in front of a group of people will make Bob start looking for another woman.
Steve Nakamoto: Successful women tend to work really long hours. Some men may feel like the woman is too busy and doesn’t have time for them. A man who wants to be taken care of by a woman won’t do well in this kind of relationship.
Diane Mapes: I think some women inadvertently send the message that “I’m too busy or too important for you,” and no one likes to sit down at a table with someone who goes on and on about their accomplishments or how busy they are. With online dating, the whole process is accelerated: There’s a tendency for women to dump their resume in a guy’s lap, and it can be overwhelming.”
If your girlfriend is a higher earner than you are that’s fine. if she starts putting you down because of it, let her know.
