Are you Intimidated

Question… Are you intimidated? I was once told buy a guy that I was intimidating. We had just met actually. We were both at a party, he came over and sparked up a conversation and it was really nice. Of course the common things come up what do you do, are you in school…yadda yadda yadda. So as prompted or when appropriate I shared some of the things I had going on. We talked for quite some time and as he found out more about me and some of the things I had done in my short life he told he I was pretty intimidating. In fact he said it a few times as we spoke. Although we had a great conversation that night, we did not end up exchanging numbers that night…lol. I assume because I was a bit too intimidating for him. It got me to thinking though. Yes I have a job, yes I’m in grad school, yes I have some pretty ambitious goals, but shouldn’t those be appealing things. Since when did a driven woman become unattractive? I once dated a guy who is the only guy I’ve ever met that was more ambitious than I was and it was great. We had a bit of a healthy competition going on sometimes, not in a bad way, but we both encouraged each other to go farther and do better. It was really nice. He was never put off by anything of the things I went after. But can a powerful, successful, financially comfortable woman drive a man off these days? Is it important for the man to feel as if he is doing better, making more, or rising higher than his woman? In situations where the woman makes more money or has the more prominent career, will the man feel less than?
