The Loveawake dating blog recently posted an article advising successful women on how not to intimidate the men that they are dating. Although I think that they were attempting to give solid advice to women they were also harming them in the same way by telling them to dilute their successes and in a sense themselves. Why should women try not to intimidate men with their success? Shouldn’t the guy step his game up?

In all fairness, I can see how it would be annoying for a woman to constantly brag about her accomplishments. Other than calming down a braggadocios nature, I don’t think that a woman should have to resort to all types of tricks and maneuvers that lessens the appearance of her uniqueness, intelligence, success, and or love for her career. In fact it should be expected of her to embrace it. Men do. A woman should not have to pretend that she is less ambitious just to be considered desirable.

Men are expected to be egotistical, proud, demanding of respect, hardworking, success driven individuals. The more a man displays these qualities the more attractive he is to women. While the opposite can be said of women. When we exhibit those same qualities, we are thought of as bitches, bossy, overly aggressive, and told that our career should not be a priority rather a backup plan. That makes those that are weak afraid. Very afraid.

I have found that with most women it is not a black and white situation. They not only want the successful career but the husband as well. They also want to be mothers. Why shouldn’t they expect to have it both? Who made the condition that a woman can only have one or the other while all the opportunities for both are available to men? Ladies, is there any truth to my assessment? Speak your piece. It should not be treated like some impossible dream to want a full life with love
