No, Ladies, Men Are Not Intimidated By Your Success
The era of the boss-babe is in full swing. Women are now the majority of college graduates in the West. They run entire companies from the center of the human resources department. They are the public-school teachers, the media pundits, and the leading politicians.
But so-called successful women seem to have a problem: They increasingly have issues attracting a mate.
The explanation circulating online is that men are too intimidated by successful women. Instead, of going for the goal getter girls, they rather settle for the cashier at Walmart. Poor old men and their patriarchal prejudices of what an attractive woman should be like. Time to re-educate them.
This explanation, though, is exclusively promoted by boss-babes and their male feminist allies. Were men ever asked, why they prefer the cashier over the doctor?
Truth is that women don’t really seem to be interested in what is the correct answer to this question. They are more interested in framing the issue to provoke the right outcome — and when I say right, I mean right for strong and independent women.
The idea is to make men comply to the feminist narrative. The goal is to shame men into compliance with the boss-babe reality. You either accept the superior attractiveness of the goal getter girl or you are intimidated, weak, immature, unmanly… in short: You are not a real man!
If we let all the feminist nonsense aside and ask men with the intent to actually get a truthful answer to why boss-babes aren’t attractive to them, the answer will go against the feminist utopian vision of what the world should be. Simply put, to be successful at your job, you need to be assertive, aggressive, sometimes backstabbing, manipulative, and self-absorbed. Having a career is about beating the competition. And you barely beat the competition if you are kind, loving, caring, empathetic, and polite.
But what men truly like in women is not aggression, assertiveness, manipulativeness, and self-absorption. Men like women who are nice, kind, loving, and caring — everything that makes you lose in a competitive market.
Men want the Walmart cashier, as she will very likely be the better wife and mother for his children, as she is more likely to be kind, loving, and caring. The boss-babe, on the other hand, personifies everything men don’t want in women. You can now try to frame this as intimidation, weakness, and immaturity, but it won’t change it.
