Yes, i suppose it was rather stupid of me to pose a question in such an intimidating way. I was trying to avoid having to go in depth on the question, because i find that too may layers tends to detract from the actual question. What i should've asked was....why do men feel intimidated by women who make more money than they do? Now you're asking a different question. Someone making more money is not necessarily smarter than the other. But, the answer is still the same - some men will be intimidated.

Not all men are intimidated by women who are smarter or make more money than them. Most however do not care to hang around with women who thinking they are smart and make a lot of money act like A--holes. That's the same no matter the person's gender. I wouldn't want to hang out with men who act like that either.

And there always appears to be one that reliquishes said power to keep the peace. Which is a good band aid at the time, but does not resolve much in the long run.

There is always someone in the relationship who has more power than the other. It is not always the man. If both are comfortable with the arrangement, it can work. If both want to be the power, it will be a constant battle. All I ever wanted in a relationship was respect as an individual free thinking person. I didn't get it, so I've been divorced twice.

I don't happen to be intimidated by a smart woman, one who may appear smarter, or women that make more money. I'm usually intrigued. I do pretty well myself, in my career and I know... I have much more potential and hope she would as well...maybe a kick-*** team. I don't care for someone who looks upon others as lesser and if belittling others make them feel important then they aren't for me no matter how much money they may have.
