I don't think men are intimidated by successful women. I think people are intimidated by successful people. The thing is, women are also drawn to successful men. Men aren't drawn to successful women, they're just intimidated. It's unfair, I get it. However, men have their own problems. Men typically have to have some level of success in order to even attract women. Women don't have to do that.

As far as over 40 goes. It's harder because more people have already paired up. It's not because you're no longer attractive because you're over 40. That's bullshit. Women are more physically attractive when they're younger, but that's the same for men Most men who are single and around your age may look at much younger women, but they're more likely to pair up with someone closer to their age. Compatibility is way more important.

Dating is just hard.
