There’s this common belief that a man who doesn’t want a woman who is more successful than him just shows that he is “insecure” or “intimidated” but in reality, such a man can be wiser than you think. Women typically don’t want to be the breadwinner when it comes to marriages and relationships no matter what her income is and a woman who makes more than her partner will start using that power in financial differences to control and demean her husband/boyfriend. There are even articles around the web that shows that the moment a woman starts making more money than the man is the moment the marriage starts to deteriorate leading to divorce.

What I find interesting is how this contradicts everything feminism has taught to men and women saying that it doesn’t matter if a woman makes more money than the man or if the man decides to be the househusband but cases like the one I just mentioned previously shows that it actually DOES matter. From a biological standpoint, it makes sense as well. Women will only respect and submit to men who outranks her in terms of wealth, looks, and statues. Never do they respect men who are her equal or below her statues wise. Women will naturally submit to a man who is more resourceful than she is and all a man wants from a woman is her submission and respect towards him.

That is why there is nothing “insecure” about a man preferring a woman who makes less than him and it just shows that such a man understands the dynamics between the genders and female nature and he’s just trying to save himself from the potential of being divorced, disrespected, or cheated on. Now women might deny this saying “I don’t care if my boyfriend or husband makes less than me, I still love him either way” but statistics has proven otherwise. I even hear some women admit they prefer a man who is more career and goal oriented. There’s nothing wrong with successful women but they just need to understand that their dating pool might be smaller than they expect. But of course since women tend to go for higher men anyways, why would they care if a man who makes less than them wants them or not?
