Are Men Intimidated by Successful Women?

Many of the prospective ladies who come to us ask a similar question: ‘Are men intimidated by successful women?’

In our experience, the gentlemen we work with are highly accomplished themselves. They are high-flyers in their fields, many are entrepreneurs running their own businesses, and work plays a significant role in their lives. They also want to meet a lady who is like-minded, who understands the pressure such success brings.

Men who are intimidated by successful women are often insecure themselves - either because they feel they can’t live up to expectations, or because they’re afraid of someone being ‘better’ than them. Fortunately, the gentlemen who approach us are self-aware, have confidence in themselves and know what they are looking for and so are unlikely to be worried by success in others. In fact, they often crave that similar level in a partner.

Imagine a late evening home after a difficult day. Would you, as a successful person yourself, rather have someone who’s already in bed, annoyed that you weren’t back at a certain time? Or would you rather have someone who knows that these things happen? Who has experienced them themself, and who can be a sounding board for your problems with you, offering solutions and different perspectives.

This is the kind of thing our gentlemen are looking for too. A partner who has a similar drive and ambition to them: an equal. They admire these qualities in others, as much as they are proud of them in themselves.

Ambition and Romantic Relationships

Of course, when you’re hoping for a romantic relationship, you want to know that your prospective partner is as committed to that, as they are to their work. Fortunately, it’s easy to know that our gents (and our ladies) are prioritising their romantic life and are making a serious investment into their future by joining us. We are very clear that we deliver long-term relationships and, if someone is looking for an alternative, perhaps a short-term fling or a date for the Christmas party, there are a million other options online that will provide what they seek!

Finding someone who you are compatible with is the key to a successful relationship. And compatibility is often fuelled by shared interests, ethoses and ideas. Our portfolio of members have or have had a successful professional background, and they are often looking for similarly successful partners who share their experience. Someone who is committed to a long-term relationship, but who isn’t going to complain or chastise if the occasional email or phonecall requires a response during a weekend or a holiday.

So, do we think men are intimidated by successful women? Not if you meet the right men! Get in touch today so we can help you find yours.
