Unfortunately -- that sometimes holds true for women as well.
Since I was a teenager, I've thought that I would want to marry a high powered, successful career woman. The older I get, though, the more I have my doubts. From my observations, there is something badly wrong with these women [and I've dated scads of them through the years]. They seem to be driven by a visceral hatred of everything. They are, to a woman: Rude, mean, short-tempered, impatient, and venomous. They are also almost uniformly pro-abortion. A career woman won't hesitate to murder your unborn child in her womb if she thinks that's what's needed to further her career. These women also live to commit adultery with other women's husbands [although, in that regard, they're probably not all that different from the rest of their sisters].
I'm not saying I'm looking for a Stepford Wife, but I might be interested in a disillusioned career woman who's ready to move on to greener pastures. The problem is that they don't seem to get to that point until after their wombs have gone barren.
To my female college classmates, I would ask, "Can women really have it all? And what is 'all' and do you really want it, and oh, by the way, don't be so arrogant to think that you are going to beta the odds once the window of your fertility has closed."
Women have been fed and ingested a lot of bologna, about the worth of the activities women have traditionally been engaged in - I just couldn't buy into that stuff. Women need to treasure the strengths they have been given by God, and their unique ability to bear children. The truth is much better to use when deciding how to best structure one's future.
Anyhow, we are trying to have as many kids as possible before I'm 35. We may not wear designer clothes and don't drive a SUV, but I'd consider myself very, very rich.
And maybe it's you who are finding the wrong ones (have you met them all in bars?) or are bringing out the worst in them. How many people (women or men) would get to be so successful if they had the nasty temperament you ascribe to all successful women?
I'm sure some are just as nasty as you have described, but there are a lot who aren't.
