Does your success scare guys away?

Have you ever felt that you intimidate men with your success? Does your success scare guys away? If so, you’re not alone. Cause I literally think this all the time. Well, not all the time...but at least a few times a week. So if I think this I would hope I am not alone. So. Let me continue this blog as if I am giving myself advice to get through this cuffing season.

First, always remember that the right man will love that you’re powerful and successful. Not only that, studies have actually shown that smart, successful men prefer to marry smart, successful women. So, does your success scare guys away? Nope – it won’t scare the right guy. (Remember this Jennifer. Yeah, thats right.)

But, that doesn’t mean you should give him your verbal resume on a first date. Sure, tell him what you do, but I don’t recommend leading with talking all about your past VP status or your high-powered successful friend group.

Dates are not business interviews. It’s this polarity that builds attraction for you and the other person, especially during the early stages of getting to know one another. Dating is a time to let go of what’s happening. Sit back and let him impress you. Be your light, warm radiant self. After all, you already know that you can impress.

After a few dates, you can begin to share some of your successes as well as some of your challenges in your career. You will learn a lot by how the guy reacts at that point! Is he intimidated? Does he pull back? Is he appreciative and impressed? Does he share some of his successes? Can he make a true team partner or life mate or not? Pay close attention. Often the truth is in your gut reaction!

When the right guy comes around for you (and he will!) let things unfold slowly in the beginning. When the relationship deepens, you will know you can be your real self more and more—including sharing your success! The right guy will not be scared away!
