Are women really the weight behind successful men? (24)
Yes.. we keep both heads working...

not really. I think it depends upon the definition of success. People, Entrepreneurs of successful companies/franchises (you know rags to riches) were usually to low on the social scheme of things to start out with a woman to support them, after their own personal drive for success a woman will attatch herself to the man. I don't ever think its the woman pushing the man on her own. It seems more like the whole concept of family as a whole that tends to drive the man.

behind every great man,there is a greater woman
who did you think he turn to when he needs help
who did you think stood beside him no matter what tomorrow bought
who did you think had faith in him,when he and others lose faith in him
who did you think believed in him,when he and other people stop believing in him
when others told him that it was impossible
for him to do what he wanted to do
who do you think told him that it was possible
for him to do anything and everything he wanted to do
when others left his side,who do you think stood by his side
when he was sick who do you think took care of him
if you look back in history at all of the great man
you will see a greater woman beside them

Nope, I don't buy any of it.
HAPPY, CONFIDENT people are successful. That can involve one person standing alone, or many, many people in your circle.
I would never want to be the drive behind a man. I prefer he have his own.

I dont think that "drive" is the right word, I used direct. I have loads of drive, I just dont channel it right all the time.
Having a woman's perspective on things makes it different.
After all women do think differently to men

I agree it's not about drive. It's about love.
Love is truly magic. And if a woman no longer believes in magic, then she no longer believes in love. I want no parts of any women who doesn't believe in love.
If a woman wants a man who doesn't need her love I hope she looks elsewhere for him because I'm definitely not her man.
I need a woman to love, and I need her to love me as well. That's what makes us human. Anything less would be an empty relationship as far as I'm concerned.
In fact, if I were to offer someone advice, my advice would be to steer clear of anyone who doesn't need your love. I personally see that as a recipe for getting right back on a singles forum again complaining about a heartless ex partner.

I agree with you, Windy
I want a man who knows what he wants and tries to get it.
I will help him as much as he wants, but I will not carry him.
Certainly when it came to health or misfortune, I would stand by him.
But he has to want to get up and go as far as he is able.
I would hope he would do the same for me.

Weren't you married to an ambitious musician who didn't need you?
What happened? Didn't he drop you like a hot potato to go out to quench his own egotistical ambitions? Didn't he have his own drive?
Why would you want another man like that?

in life? no...in love? no...success comes from being happy within...in a relationship the success comes not from the woman or the man, but the partnership...working together each and every day to show support, respect, loyalty, love...

Nope, not going with this theory of behind every successful man is a good woman. No woman had anything to do with the success of my companies. Hard work, drive, determination, desire to excel from my business partner and myself have brought us to be successful. Nothing wrong with having a good woman in your life with whom to share the joy of your success, but she must be there in times of failure also.

Hey, now - I thought this whole showing-respect-thing was made painfully clear last night... Wasn't that comment a bit personal, Abracadabra?
------ This thread is Archived ------
Sorry, I wasn't here last night.
But you're right, that probably was too personal to post. It was just a reaction that I was genuinely curious about. This is also a touchy topic for me. Women seem to go after egotistical men like as if that's a good trait. Yet they don't seem to see the value in men who appreciate their love.
I'm not an egotistical man. And I do apprecitate and value the love of a woman. So when I hear women talk like they want a man who doesn't need their love it's just drives a stake right through my heart.
It's a deeply emotional topic for me.

Oh by the way. My public apologies to Erin if my previous post quoting her was improper. I was seriously curious why should could want the kind of man who doesn’t need her love. I just genuinely don't understand that point of view.
I hope any woman I fall in love with needs my love every bit as much as I need hers.

Belushi, my comment wasn't directed at you, merely generic.
Abra, yes, that was ABSURDLY personal. I don't think anyone in this thread asked about my past personal life.
But since you felt the need to devulge, yes, that's exactly what happened. AND, yes, I would want another one like that. WHY? Because he had the cahounas to do what was right for him, to make him happy. Not necessarily right for my children, but he was confident and risky enough to do it. He didn't need ME to complete him, just as I wouldn't need a male to complete me.

Abra, I think it takes knowing a man to see that he is egotistical and always puts himself first.
A healthy self image is good; selfishless is not good.
Sometimes, love does not continue and the man wanders off on his own path. Or, the woman finds out that that important in his life and she wanders off.
All we can do is love and hope.
I can see that you still are hoping
