Heh heh. Yeah, pretty much. I was just expanding it a little... I don't think men are "turned off" by successful women if they meet the other qualifications in the femininity and attractiveness departments - much as women might cut slack to a guy who comes up short financially if he exceeds basic looks and "protector" requirements.
My point was this-the Maureen Dowds of the world are bitter and angry that their "success" does not have the same attractant power that men's success has to women.
For this, they blame men (of course)-"afraid of strong women", "wants a doormat", "abuser, neglecter, and infecter", etc, etc ad nauseum.
Of course, what is going on herre is the projection by "succesful" women of their own requirements in a mate onto men.
It isn't that a successful woman is unattractive-some are, some aren't. It's just that success is not in the top ten things men are interested in.
The result of this is that successful women are competing over very few men, while successful men have many, many women to choose from-including, but not limited to, "successful" women.
