>I know several single women that are very attractive and financially successful. This can be very intimidating to many men. Really scares off a lot of potential suitors. Men like being needed.<
Anytime I hear about a woman being financially secure and independent I think no man should bother with her. If she tells you she is independent what is the point of you being in her life? You are an accessory? The sperm donator to give her the other accessories she wants (children)? Maybe I’m being too cynical, but that is what I think.
You are being a bit too cynical. The women I am talking about don’t go around mentioning their income. It just so happens they live in a nice neighborhood, own their own home, and drive a good car. The only thing missing is the man.
