Very good article!

I have been in the situation where I dated up. Although I have a title of CEO, it is of a non-profit, a small non-profit (not Samaritan’s Purse) which puts her at the advantage point when it comes to finances. And I’m not talking about women who just make $50,000 a year, I’m talking about six figures, one woman having seven figures.

Unfortunately, I’m single. Allow me:

  • When I would talk about my plans for the nonprofit because they asked, they always had a correction to make. Instead of being a board member or investor, they just wanted to tell me how I was doing things wrong. I expected that, so I was mentally prepared to not take offense. Rather just enjoyed their company.
  • Eventually they became too busy for anyone. We had a great relationship, but we couldn’t even call it a relationship. A woman who is family oriented and works that level of a job, can easily slip into thinking that relationship it’s too much work and it is not important enough for them to have to sacrifice for the relationship. Since the relationship cannot offer them more than what they have, they let it fade into the distance. It’s not that successful women don’t date down, it’s that subconsciously it’s really really hard for them to date down. But if they date up, they’re getting into a competitive relationship and both will have corporate secrets and non-disclosure agreements. Men who cannot handle that type of life, always have sexual deviances that throw the relationship off course.
  • Last point for now. I have even dated up to a woman with a PhD. But this last point is about a woman with a master’s degree in counseling and is a licensed therapist. I don’t know her situation but we started talking about the new upcoming and chic term or study called psychoneurobiology. Just a few minutes into the conversation, she told me she was not interested in the topic and she had no idea what I was talking about. Soon after that she ghosted me. On a side note, she’s had a few years more psychology than myself, so I thought that she knew everything that I was throwing at her in the conversation. I thought it was going to be an actual conversation 😆. I take no responsibility for her not knowing that information.

So how can successful Independent Women date?

  1. Firstly, they have to understand they’re going to date down more than likely.
  2. Secondly, they have to be honest with themselves. Since women subconsciously have a neurological attachment to provision, that means their career is going to take place of a man, subconsciously. It’s going to take them more effort to connect with a man in addition to having their own provision, but not sacrificing either. On a side note, they will more than likely date down because America “gets off” from not developing their men and so these men will never be successful.
  3. Thirdly, they need to understand that the world around them is going to overwhelm them with all these expectations. The expectations are going to be flamboyant, stupid, and will contradict one another. These women are going to want to take advice from all these people, because that is also in the neurology of the female brain. Just like when women want men to decide where they are going to go eat, but they also want the men to decide correctly. With this information they are going to justify not having a relationship. That is going to be a struggle more days than it is not.
  4. Fourthly, they have to understand that it is going to be a tug of war when it comes to childbearing. They might not have to give up their good job, but an independent woman would say she’s okay with giving up the job temporarily for child until she gets a spark of validation from her own provision.
  5. Lastly for now. Just like all women, they have to understand that more than likely they are going to run into a a man who is complete shit and end up dating him for God knows why. If they can’t navigate those waters, they are going to put all men in the same category. That category is going to be, that all men want to leech off of their success. Men are going to be asking for her to buy this and that. I didn’t ask for shit from any of the women that I was with. And they let me cover everything that I wanted to cover for them. They didn’t argue. They enjoyed me still having a placement. Things just faded away because of their job.

So can successful Independent Women date? Only if they have been prepared for what is to come. And that means delving into soft science, psychology. If they have not, they’re going to end up exactly where the women that I dated ended up. Single.
