Analyst7:
Because once a woman becomes successful there’s a high probability she will be cocky and unsubmissive, two captains can’t lead a ship

It’s rare to find a highly successful woman being submissive, that’s why men rarely marry such

They’re just scared of being disrespected which is highly probable with those women

they became cocky becoz men made them that way she is a product of her environment

You find her cocky then she is out of your league (get the fruits you can reach)

That is why it is extraordinarily important for you, as a man, to do your thorough checks, before you marry a woman.

Any women who becomes arrogant or proud because of an increase in her material wealth is naturally a proud and an arrogant person.
The arrogance and pride has always been in the bone marrow of the woman. It was just laying dormant waiting to be activated.

But some women, who have had grace and humility, entrenched in their bone marrow, by their parents or guardians,
will never ever become arrogant, irrespective of their newly acquired wealth status.

There are so many examples of very wealthy women in our society who are also very modest despite their staggering wealth.

Just do your Home Work / Due Diligence before you get married. Period. Good Luck.

Are they not asking their father questions? How did they ask their father?

Until you understand that the moment a man pats for your pride price he has almost equal right as your dad, the way you treat your dad treat him that way

you talk like a boy

asking questions to your father is totally different from asking someone u sleep with, have kids with, tend to get old with

Most african cultures we are programmed by both society and culture not ask right to our parents, eg questiions that tend to expose that your parent has no knowledge or lacks critical thinking

Your forbidden from embrassing them

Whereas with hubby you are meant to be asking but it comes back to that culture of not embrassing its carried over to hubby, where other hubbys dont allow women to say their own thinking, which might embrass hubby but in true fact he should embrace that wife has sharp mind too

Divoc19:
A real man shouldn't be intimidated/afraid of successful women.

These days we have more lazy ass men without ambition in life that only want to feed off their women. They think having a third leg makes them a man.

We also have men that love their women so much that they want to limit the potential of their women because they are not man enough to maintain being her man when she becomes successful.

Let every man know their responsibility in life before looking for a woman that fits into is life. No Lies!


I can swear with my left ball that you are not yet married, possibly single, and even if you are in a relationship, you are not satisfied.... Awon set feminist. I base my deduction from your vibe. Although I am too damn sure, it's none of my business.

“Men are afraid of successful women”

I wonder why men allowed this lie to go unchallenged for so long.

That is, they deceived so many women to believe that a man will see a woman making ground breaking achievements in her industry and be afraid of her success, instead he will go and chase one broke, unemployed and uninspiring woman.

Which successful woman in this world is single because men are afraid of her?

Watch women claim now that they know someone, not them oh. Someone.

I can tell you for free that a woman will buy Toyota Big for nothing and starts talking down on men that don’t have cars, becomes unnecessary rude to everyone around her and when people avoid her, she’ll say it’s because she’s successful.

No one is avoiding you because you are successful, they are avoiding you because of your bad attitude. There are women that are more successful than you that are happily married.

Why your own dey different?

Men are not afraid of successful women. Men are afraid of women with bad attitude, successful or not.

I wish Nigerian men will put all these effort into policing their fellow criminal Nigerian men. A lot of opportunities lost because of these criminal bandits.

Please start making threads and telling your fellow criminal Nigerian men to stop the drug peddling, yahoo yahoo, armed robbery, human trafficking etc.

Abeg you.

Men aren't afraid of successful women perse most men can't relate with successful women because they come with lots of compromise men can't afford. The traditional man wants a woman who will always be available, who won't question his opinions and decisions ( right or wrong) a woman who will cook, do house chores, be a "yes sir" etc. A successful woman may not be able to meet up with all these.

For most Nigerian men money is their bargaining chip in a relationship, there ability to provide a woman's need give them surge of control, relevance and power. Dealing with a woman who can't take care of herself can be very difficult for a man who is yet to realize that his existence is more than ability to provide.


Successful women demands more, for the everyday woman, her wants in a man may be limited to "being taken care of" but for a successful woman she will demand more varying from accountability to loyalty to having a say in decisions, sharing responsibilities etc. Her demands are higher and sometimes impossible to meet for average men.

Of course, some successful women can be proud, unruly and difficult to relate with but trust me, all these stem from "see finish" i.e what can the man offer but truth is when they finally meet the right one, they submit.

they submit to themselves

another angle to this is that women generally look for partner who are above them in status. Which subconsciously draws them to richer and more successful men. The twist is that these richer and more successful men do not give a damn about their success. A successful man will most likely want a stay at home partner that will just take care of him and his children.

And also the value of a woman is in her beauty and character. While a man is valued by his success and wealth. So a high value(wealthy) man will likely seek for a high value(beautiful) woman her money means nothing to him

but do realise also that some men rush to call a woman arrogant simple becoz she refuse to lower her standards

eg a keke driver, might see a bank teller being an arrogant woman, she knows her selfworth as bank teller and she wouldnt want a keke driver

Better unlearn this your idea for your own good.

Provided you are a human with natural biological make-up, you need the opposite sex for completion.
It depends on what you envision "single" to be, it's a state of mind at the end of the day,you can have a partner and still be lonely as hell while someone who don't will be the prime definition of happy and please speak for yourselves,not everyone needs "the opposite sex" for completion, that's literally the dumbest thing I've heard all day

Submission to a man.... Bad character by a single woman to a man may just be that she doesn't want to submit her body to him before marriage.

Don't trust the loyalty of a poor man: Sometimes, couples have married when they weren't in high positions or making it ( cash wise) and the man would appear supportive.... Later in the marriage, the woman unexpectedly starts making it and the man mistakes her every word and move as not being the previously obedient wife.

To be sincere, there are some men that women marry and they will NEVER rise beyond a particular level in life.

If men are afraid of successful women then married successful women would be rare ... and those rare ones would be either heading to or already be in Divorce Court. This is not the case because there are sooo many happily married successful women .... married to men. If men are afraid of any successful women it is not because of their success but something else about them.

This is a great topic with many layers to it.


The problem is that many women lead with their achievements. They achieved and believe oh well
I’m a high achiever I don’t gotta clean for no man I don’t gotta cook for no man infact I don’t need a man. That’s the issue right there.

I have said it before and I will say it here again, men don’t give a damn about a woman’s achievements. Maybe your home girls will clap for you but this is not all a man is looking for. An uneducated woman who’s broke and never been to college don’t work but can cook, have good nurturing skills, a good mother, fine as hell, good in bed, will always get the better man than a woman who’s hella accomplished and is totally out of touch with her womanly side and roles.

Fun fact as you are off to work, he’s fu..cking that unemployed woman that truly makes him feel like a man.



Also many of these women achieved and start shouting it at the top of their lungs, a big turn off to many men. A man’s would love you to leave space for him to come in and be a man, provide for you, get you that car that house for the family etc but if you buy yourself all
Of these things and claiming to be an independent strong woman that has everything and the only thing you need is a man well my sister you will stay long waiting for that man.

The truth is bitter, but a successful man is treated like a big baller in society but you as a successful woman well sorry but many men don’t care. And the issue is that many successfully women wants the accolades, the praises, special treatment and to be exempt from their womanly duties simply because they are successful in society. It’s just as bad as men wanting special treatment and better positions because they look good. Lol that’s funny but imagine a man thinking because he looks good so he will get a higher position…rarely ever as in ever. A woman looks yes that matters but a man? Nope not really because that doesn’t impact on his ability to provide or protect. Women have to stop thinking just because they are successful and high achievers they don’t gotta do what a man’s requires of a woman to
Make him feel like a man.


And this is for the women that wants lasting and happy relationships. If you want to be a strong independent woman that don’t need no man kudos to you, do you but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

men are not afraid of successful women, everyone knows the power of money and how its intoxicates, an average man can control this but on the other hand, the other gender, it gets to them and can't even be respectful anymore,it makes them lose their morals and can't even be reasonable anymore, no man wants to go through shit been rubbed on his face, fine I no get money, but trust me, I no dey pass my boundaries.
