Why are handsome men intimidated by beautiful, successful, independent woman? (140)

Hmmmm. I'm not sure it has anything to do with looks, although there is some talk about exquisitely gorgeous men (and women) preferring to choose someone not as attractive so they don't have to compete! 
I guess Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie and countless other couples prove THAT one wrong.
Personally, I think it is more to do with one's self esteem. If you are comfortable with who you are and like yourself, you are less likely to choose a needy partner to "complete" you and you won't be intimidated by your partner being more attractive, more intelligent, or more successful than you are.

We're not..
pamela_1976: I've been wondering why is it that handsome and smart men are intimidated by beautiful, successful, independent women? Isn't that what we all seek? Someone who is not needy? Can you tell me?

pamela_1976: I dont have any preference, because in my personal experience I have never met a handsome or non-handsome that feels intimidated by me or any other woman...lucky me!!!
So by the post above,your not suggesting that your OP is refering to yourself or your own experience?If so then on what basis do you base the claim of your OP?

I wasn't referring to attractiveness or intelligence so much as attitude, I have encountered these snobbish, nose up in the air rich women who look down on a regular working class guy and they think that you are beneath their station. Maybe I'm not a very wealthy man, but I have always prided myself for standing on my own two feet ever since I was a kid, and I don't need a partner who thinks I'm some kind of charity case.

Grandepensees: It's not intimidation, it's all the knowledge of all the drama and head-games "beautiful, successful, independent women" can bring in a man's world.
I'd rather be with a less-than-beautiful, less-than-successful and less-than-independent woman if it means a less-than-dramatic and head-game-free life in my world.
Thanks for your attention.

I like the low maintainance aspect, beautiful ain't bad either:

Zero fear from me. A person can be beautiful on the outside but if there's nothing on the inside then everything is irrelavant full stop. Take a look at my pic for instance, I'm not handsome at all and I know and accept the fact, but my ex was simply gorgeous to look at, all my friends said jokingly how can she be with you, I suspect they really thought that but just wanted to be good friends, but inside she had nowhere near enough what it takes to be a partner I would want to spend the rest of my life with.

Those are called 'butch', my friend, and you don't have to be intimidated by those, they go for the ladies as well
