| Why are men threatened by an Independent, educated woman???
Posted: 12/2/2006 4:18:43 AM | Holy Cripes guys------you're STILL posting to this worn out thread? LOL
It was started waaaaaaaaay back in MAY for gawds sake and the OP left the entire discussion soon after she was soundly shouted down for her offensive generalizations! Why someone is reviving this long after it's already been talked to death escapes me. Honestly I think it would be best if these threads had an expiration date!!
THIS one couldn't end too soon IMHO !! | |

Posted: 12/2/2006 5:13:19 AM | Men love intelligence.. but they also love a women to be sexy...
If your the librarian type... who has little mojo going on.... who is going to want to know what goes on in your head.
Bimbos get attention because their sexy... But really... have you ever tried talking to one?! No thanks. Wouldnt want her in my bedroom... not even in the door.... wouldnt buy her a drink even. Let someone else deal with the stupidity. | |

Posted: 12/2/2006 5:27:50 AM | men find the childish, attention-seeking, petulent, little drama queens more malleable. these girls (not yet women) grab the man's attention, thus achieving their intitial goal. they put on a bratty act, further amusing the man.
this goes on for a bit.
some men wise up and grow weary of the constant genuflecting required to appease their paramour.
but other men accept the juvenile 'look-at-me-i'm-so-tragic' pretense. these men waste valuable time and energy, never noticing the bright, appealing, beautiful, insightful true women who can fulfill a man's life in indescribable ways. | |

Posted: 12/2/2006 6:48:20 AM | I've never found men to feel threatened. I'm educated and can hold my own in conversation. People just need to be accepted on a common level. You need to find where your interests converge and then enjoy the run with your 'person' educated or otherwise. One thing I've found about my post-grad education is that it was kindof meaningless. A Bunch of biddies talking drivel. So education is not nearly the be-all, end-all it's cracked up to be (in terms of character development or wisdom). Some of the brightest men I've known have had no higher education.i
There's a fine line drawn in nature between men and women, it's deeply rooted.... perhaps primal. It defines us. And yet, we still play the role most comfortable to us. Many women like to wear 'the pants' . It has nothing to do with education - it has to do with roles or leanings. Those women would do best avoiding men who feel the same. On the other hand, some women love to succumb - excite to the thought of being taken and cared for. And many of those women are educated and independent outwardly, but feel most secure in the submissive role to a mann. Good rule of thumbelina: different strokes for different folks.

Posted: 12/2/2006 8:16:33 AM | Well, well.
-Thank you JWA for your always insightful insults. Glad to see you again. NOT. Oh, and as KAOS posted before..why, indeed are you still posting to this thread? Oh, and as far as me being "shouted down?" I never heard or cared to hear you to begin with. lol I just left this dead thread to go on to more 'intelligent' topics as this thread was turning into a comedy club with all of the poor ego fragile males that are terrified that one day a woman will run this country. One day..we will.
-Starr: Thanks, hon...I've gotten much flack on this thread by men that have extremely fragile egos. hehe Weeds out the undesirables, don't you think?
-Ms. Juniper: Thank you. Now let's go check out that "Chippendale's Show" and show these men who the real rulers of the world are. lol
Again...and again, and again...SOME men are threatened by a level of intelligence that they can't comprehend or don't understand in a woman, not only that..currency is an issue with them if you make more than they do and you can actually calculate the exchange rate in your head. I'll say it again, social strata plays a part in the success or downfall of any relationship. I've dated lots of men...most were dumb as a muskmellon compared to me..some had potential and never used it, and then some were, quite frankly out of MY league and humbled even I.
Read my profile again, JWA.
Education can have many meanings, from being 'street' smart to having 8 years of higher education. You are educated if you can respect and discuss other's opinons with rationality, logic, compassion, and take constructive feedback, whether it be to your liking or not.
Independence has one meaning and one meaning only: Being financially and emotionally able to take care of yourself without depending on a 'man' or 'woman' for your mere existence.

truth: experience has shown and taught me that real men aren't threatened by real women, they openly appreciate and positively acknowledge them!
Imagine this... A woman gets married and is used to being just a housewife, or hasn't worked in many years because her husband said not to, alleging he can provide enough to support the family. All of sudden, the husband dies. He leaves her and a child. Now she has bills to pay, a child to look after, feeling worthless... Nothing better than a woman that can hold it on her own, because one thing that makes relationships successful is to have a symbiosis. It depends on the person, of course. Some women take it as a way of revenge over men, as rivalry or as control. Others just do it because they like what they've been doing for years and enjoy their independence. Its not a threat, its a reality a man has to assume and welcome. A woman should always feel good and encouraged about her independence, never letting a man take charge about everything. I wouldn't feel threatened or lowered if she made more than I do, as long as I'm working and contributing.  | |

Posted: 12/2/2006 11:56:59 AM | I would never feel threatened by a woman like that, the independent/educated ones are the the ones who wont try to empty my pocket and spend me dry, they got their own money and strong enough to hold their own grounds...  | |

Posted: 12/2/2006 12:16:22 PM | I had to reply to this one. This is good...... I dont feel threatened by a woman that is pretty much independent. I really believe that is a great thing. To be honest more women should try to be successful in life and dont let guys persuade them otherwise. To me we are on equal grounds. What is fair for one should be fair for the other.
I am proud of you and stand up proud.  | |

Posted: 12/2/2006 12:50:00 PM | If they are threatened it is because they are in fear of not being able to show the independent woman love. IT is easier to love a poor-little-hard-done by person than one who is perfect.
RELATIONSHIPS are not about perfect people fueling each other to excellence, it is about nonperfect people who are commited and love one another so their flaws grow smaller over time. | |
