Dating Gap: Why The Odds Are Against Women

Should you be worried if he’s not interested?

Last Saturday, I was at lunch with my girls, enjoying bottles of wine — champagne, rose, oysters with pasta. Having a really good conversation and a thought struck my nerves. How is it that these ladies aren’t in any serious relationships? I mean, my girls are gorgeous, outgoing, hilarious, and with secured jobs.

Yet, here we are, all in our 30s, chatting and pondering why guys take forever to text us back. We have all been on dates where the guy speaks passionately about his job. How demanding and stressful is it, but he loves it. When we start talking about our careers and ambition, you see the guy’s face turns cold as if they were struck by lightning.

Being an independent woman means dressing in a way that makes you feel powerful and beautiful.

Most women won’t date a guy that is shorter than them. As for men, financial success becomes the new height. Therefore, like women, most guys will not date a more financially successful woman than they are.

When I entered my thirties, I noticed that the men that approached me were much younger men than me or much older men. It was as if men of my age bracket stayed out of reach.

Some might argue that we have been dating the wrong men, while others will say our expectations are too high. It can be frustrating to think the gap in the dating pool is the woman’s fault.

Men feel emasculated when a woman thrives in her career. And if she’s earning more than him… Oh, boy!

Although there are men who love dating successful independent women, the problem is they are so few. As women become more successful, their dating pool shrinks to guys that are more successful than they are or guys that are okay with their success.

Why women are finding it more difficult to commit to relationships

According to a study on Personality and Social Psychology, men are more likely to subconsciously feel worse about themselves when their female partner is successful than when she fails.

Men threatened by strong or independent women are men whose self-esteem is based on a misconception of their superiority over women.

The study found that men automatically interpret their girlfriend’s or wife’s success as their failure, even if they are not in a competition.

The reason men feel insecure about a women’s financial success is largely because of cultural influence.

Men are taught to be the breadwinner all their life. They feel powerful when they are providing for their family. However, as women become more successful and achieve higher levels of education, the inequality between men and women in positions of power shrinks.

Not being reliant on a man is a positive movement for women in today’s society. The problem is that men are a bit stuck in that norm, where they have to provide. They put that pressure on themselves, and whether it’s emotional or financial, men still have an inherent need to feel needed and valued.

What you should do if he’s insecure about you

An American study has shown that many men do not want to spend their lives in a “competitive” relationship.

Men may appreciate an accomplished, successful woman, but they don’t want to come home to a stressful, competitive environment after spending all day in a similar type of work environment, and neither do women.

As women become more successful in their careers, they don’t want to come home to an aggressive, hard-headed, controlling man.

Since women are not considered men’s equals in society. Why should we expect dating to be different?

So if he’s insecure about your success and independence, there is really nothing much you can do. The best thing you can do for yourself is to avoid dating such men.

You can decide who’s worth your time and how to structure your expectation according to their importance. Anyone that has insecurities about their partner’s success in this era is still living backward. The insecurity is about them, not you.
