11. Other men will run away scared from a woman that is more successful than him
10. Other men will see a successful woman as a challenge, because these kinds of women can be hard to get and difficult to come by
9. But don’t assume that a woman is domineering if she makes more money or is successful. I know that I don’t want to be seen that way.
8. Some men find a successful woman extremely attractive, some men like to be dominated.
7. What really scares men away is a woman that is stronger than him whether it be physically or emotionally
6. I think relationships that work are those that the man and woman both provide equally, not saying that they each have to provide the same things. For example the man can provide all the money but the woman must bring something to the table as well, something visible and tangible.
5. On the other hand a more intellectual and financially stable woman can attract a bummy man who clings to her for a “free ride” and that type of relationship will not work in the long run
I know money makes the world go around, but dont let that define a relationship. It’s more to a relationship than money.
Brittany G. I totally agree with you! Great response thank you for entering!
It’s so funny to me, because really thinking about this question I dont mind a man making more than me but when you flip it aroud it really does change the aspect of things and its quite sad. It’s just that man vs. woman mentality. And its so funny how when you change different thing around between a man and a woman it really does change the scope of everything.
4.I think a woman who makes more money can make a man want to be better and try harder to achieve his goals like his woman has
And you know just how some women want sugardaddies some men want sugarmommas, Im just saying.
From experience, my ex boyfriend figured me and my family were so rich (which is definitely not the case) but blessed and he came from a different background than me and figured he couldn’t do anything for me, but only if he knew what he thought was not the truth.
According to the so called law of land, a man is suppose to make more than the woman, but times have change and t can go eiter way or they can be equal.

Some men might not care because they want to be spoiled and taken care, not that im gnna do it, but I’m just saying.
Many have made their life about image and how everything is perceived. And a man might be embarraass to know other people know that they dont make as much as thier mate.
Men feel inferior to women who make more because some men want to feel as if they are taking care of the women not the other way around.
Some men feel inferior to women because by gosh she is a woman. So sometimes money, education and etc. dont even mtter.
There are those men that want the women to stay home, cook, clean and dont make any money for themselves so they can say “I’m the man of this house and I bring home the bacon”, like what century are we in.
And there are those men who don’t care if their woman is making more because they like the fact that she can be independent and pick up the bill or maybe bring more to the relationship.
I do think some men think they are inferioe to women that make more money than them because they have that “macho” way of thinking, like Im the man and I should make more than you.
3.I had more education and money than my last boyfriend, he may have felt inferior at times but he stuck with me and loved me and we were together for 2 years
I believe that some men are intimated by a woman’s success because their woman is bringing more to the table then them. Which can make men feel helpless(a lot of times insecure) because they feel they cant provide for them or live up to their means. It has a lot to do with authority because they cant control a woman thats more powerful than them.
All depends on the guy. If the man can’t wake up and realize things have changed since thier grandmother/grandfather era then they gonna miss out. It’s all about partnership today and working together as a team and not about “I make the money so I will make the decision(s)”. Nobody wants that kinda relationship anymore.
Lucy, yes being a time is crucial and having BOTH partner recognize that is EVEN MORE crucial! Thanks for commenting! check back again soon
1.I don’t agree with most of the comments on this topic; it really depends on the man.
im not a man but i do feel sometimes that men feel that way but i over look them and strive better
emancipation of women has something to do with this, before the man was the authority, and since that situation changed women tend to be more powerful, and there is a lot of feminine movements and it’s a huge difference for men and intimidating at the same time
the couple can be ok but you can feel the inferiority, but some guys are proud to have independent women who makes more money
men feel inferior to women who make more money on the other no because some men like to sit back and benefit or use the women if she is clueless in relationships & lonely
sorry i didn’t read the whole question, yes men feel inferior to women because of the intellect
lol its ok ashanti808! Thank you for participating!
men feel inferior when women turn them down for a date
Men feel inferior when women have more intellect!
I think there are still some men that would find a woman who makes more money than them intimidating to a certain degree.
OH Absolutely! I totally agree with you Dominique! Thanks for commenting please check back!
I have come to find ( with some study and some observation), that the psychological make up of a man is such that he wants to be needed sort of like some ‘security’ a force always to the rescue. On the other hand, the woman likes to be cherished and adored and at times bordering on pampered.
Thus a man will find it difficult to live a role in which the woman is totally independent on him.
Inferiority complex might set in based on his upbringing, environment, friends, peers, family, we know how these things play their role and it also depends on how well he is able to handle all these various aspects of their life.
This topic is deep and can be taken from a whole lot of perspectives.
Well, some find it difficult to imagine themselves dating a girl that is richer than them, more ambitious, more knowledgeable, or a combination of any of the above. they don’t think their ego can take it at all. Some may have passed through a period when they had nothing, and knew how girls looked at them or talked down to them during that period.
A few reasons, one men are very competitive by nature, two men are mammals and primates…They have the alpha male complex where they are the ones that need to provide for their family, support them, and protect them much gorillas lets say. Three, men have been socialized (unfortunately) to believe women are inferior to them one way or another. Myabe if not socialized directly but society leads them to believe that one way or another, because of this idea they have, they feel obviousy that they should be superior in all ways, if a woman makes more money..their hurt, because… Read more »
Awesome Response Shannel!!! Please check back again to the site often! Dont be a stranger!
I think this might cause some bitterness for the man, since it is a cultural stereotype that the man makes more than the woman. Men are often raised to expect to be the breadwinner in a family, and the one that has the most control due to his earnings. I think it really depends on the two people involved though, and their maturity levels.
I think that a lot of men would feel intimidated by a women who makes more money. Its no one’s fault….just how our society is. Men are taught to be powerful, controlling, and succesful. Women are taught to be passive, harmonic, and to rely on a man. When the table turns like this, I think it can cause problems.
My friend has suffered that situation years ago, her ex boyfriend was jealous of her because she got promoted in a higher position, at first he seeemed happy for her, but his ego got the worst of him..It showed an aggressive side of him but thankful she broke it off before it got serious
I have seen many marriages where the wife makes more money than the husband, and they have a very nice life together, they get along, everything is perfect but then the husband feels starts to feel lower than the wife because she makes more money.
Even though some men earn a good amount of money, they may feel embrassed, because they feel as though they should be providing for the family. Some may not even be poor yet it “irks” them.
Comment #3- to touch on a little bit of what David W. said and to expand on the question: Yes, there are DEFINITELY SOME men who feel inferior when a woman makes more money, than they do, but I don’t think that a man SHOULD let MONEY, or lack thereof, lead him to a feeling of inferiority. A man may want to be able to provide for all of a woman’s needs and wants that money can buy, but the truth is that there is NO way MONEY ALONE can provide for all of a woman’s wants and needs. If… Read more »
Thanks so much Astride! Thank you for the awesome response! That is a great Idea, thank you 🙂 Please check back to the site often, I post interesting questions every Monday, Wednesday, n’ Friday.
Comment #2 I also think that women should be careful with a man who is TOOOO eagerly OK with the fact that a woman earns more, especially if the man has no job, no intention of getting a job/no aspirations in life. I mean, it’s understandable when people are in school, working towards a goal in life; college students struggle! But I think there ARE some men out there who not only lack ALL feeling of inferiority to women who make more money than they do, but also WELCOME this woman as a NEW MOMMY, and that is a NO-NO!… Read more »
Hi! TO answer your question of the day: I think it depends on the man/how he was raised/what his restrictions are in his mind. I personally always tell my boyfriend that he is going to be a “housewife” if I decide to go to medical school…(he’s currently in college & in his last year of architecture) and he has no problem with it, LOL. He responds “oh, hey, YOU’RE the BREADWINNER!” and he would have no problem with me making more money than he does!
ALSO, your website is BEAUTIFUL! please enter me in your contest! 🙂
well a real man would..
yeah i think so, i feel men always want to feel respected in in control and nothings wrong with that that is how men are made to be but if a different story when they take advantage of that but i think they do feel inferior
I agree with David, when a woman makes more money, men do feel inferior. I saw this with my parents when my family came in Europe, my mum was the only one working, and my Dad was really frustrated and felt inferior. We used to go ask money to my mum, she was the boss.
I believe that men do feel inferior if the woman makes more money than him. Only because guys are raised thinking that they have to be the major bread winner, but its new times and they should start realizing that we women can make just as much if not more to them. Its not a blow to their ego.
Emmy! Great point! If men would realize that its all fair game and that it has nothing to do with there ego it would be perfect! Thanks so much for commenting! Please check back often as I post things everyday!
I do believe that some man do feel inferior to a women that makes more money than him! In hour eyes a lot of things in a relationship are mainly based off money and being able to provide for both our lady and kids otherwise we deem ourselves as failures. We need to be able to pay the bills, put a roof over or partners’ head, buy her both the necessities and the needs that she wants, take her out to varies places so that she can enjoy herself, est the list goes on. If she has everything in place… Read more »
