[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I like alpha males.  I absolutely hate  insecure emasculated men.  They're worthless both in the boardroom and the bedroom.  They might as well bend over and join the other team.  [/quote]

Is a wife's success "emasculating?"  Seriously men, weigh in here.  Why marry an intelligent, educated and accomplished woman if you are only going to act like babies when she does well, insisting that she's "emasculated" you?  I don't get it.[/quote]

Can't speak for all men but for me, an educated and successful woman is a huge turn on - wouldn't date a trophy with beans for brains and no ambition.  I married one.  We both made ridiculous amounts of money (both incomes just about the same), luxury cars, great savings plans, vacations around the world, intimacy, openness was good before kids.  But the problem is that her personality was such that nothing (professionally, personally, before and after kids) was ever good enough - she always needed more and more.  it just got to be too much.

that is the thing many highly intelligent and successful women don't get.  what is enough for you?  do you know what exactly makes you happy and have you clearly communicated that to your BF/DH/SO?  It's not a woman's success that is emasculating (at least for) but that she herself doesn't know what she wants - and men are left guessing and guessing, often times getting it wrong and getting beat up over it (it starts slowly and builds and builds).  In my case it wasn't until after the divorce that I understood.  Though we are still very good friends I think how in the world did I put up with that for 14 years?

I do post here a times and give the same advice for folks separated or recently divorced - heal yourself, get to a good place, forgive and move from the past and know what you want in order to move forward.  This is what I look for now that I'm dating again - I will still date well educated and successful women but I'm also carefully on the look out for the signs that got me in trouble with the original love of my life.[/quote]

What specifically wasn't good enough for your wife?  OP here and I'm trying to determine if you mean materially or in terms of you personally.  I'm willing to do some soul searching; I know I'm not easy.  ;)[/quote]
