why are successful women single? I was just watching a video (youtube) on why are successful black women single(42%)? But i personally believe this question applies to successful women of all races.
Re: successful women
There is an unnatural assumption amongst modern day women that being successful means having a career and that housewives are in fact inferior. Oddly enough its the housewives that are actually living a happy and fulfilling life compared to the "successful woman". Secondly successful does not relate to a job at all. Being successful in life has very different standards. Sadly in the rush to become just like men they have lost sight of that.
The definition of a successful man:
1. A good job
2. Good pay
3. A great house and car
4. A Happy family with a happy wife and kids
Definition of a successful woman:
1. A good job
2. Good pay
3. Great house and car
Family = optional.

Re: successful women
CM that is not true. you’ve assumed way too much there that a career woman thinks housewives are inferior, that’s bull 
actually there were plenty of articles about housewives’ depression…
Ten Ways for the ‘Depressed Housewife’ to Fight Depression](http://femalecare.net/womens-health/ten-ways-for-the-‘depressed-housewife’-to-fight-depression/)
a woman can be successful and happy as a housewife.
i think when a woman is happy and confident about herself she’s a better wife to her husband and a better mother to her kids. when a woman has a career that is a way for her to feel more confident about herself, it’s something of her own that she can feel proud of
do you think maybe it might have something to do with male ego?if the wife did earn loads more than a man, would any man have any issues with that
a career woman can be a great mother and a wife, its your own assumption that she doesn’t see family,husband and kids as part of a happy life.
Re: successful women
Women who are very successful in life and their careers tend to be very confident and very driven (not saying that other women are not confident and driven, but successful ones show it more outwardly). Most if not all men find that sort of personality intimidating. Even though women are now more equal to men, men still prefer to be the breadwinners, and still want to have that feeling of being the provider....thats just the way society works. Most men would still prefer a woman who is somewhat dependent on him. And successful women are usually independent - remember Beyonce's song "Independent Woman"

Personally and talking from experience in my social circle, I would disagree that most men find a career woman intimidating. Its not an unusual concept in this day and age. Also if surveys in recent memory are to be believed, most women prefer to be housewives and their men to be the breadwinners. Its just how it is.
I believe a housewife can be independent and a career woman can be highly dependent. I don't agree with your classification because I've been around some super aggressive and highly successful housewives. Success does not imply a career or whatever. Its relative.

i know you addressed this to saima but can you give me a link to the surveys that you're talking about in bold please.
i think desi women are great at balancing a great career and their family. i've seen so many examples and no they weren't at all over confident and over the top in any way. they were loving wives and mothers.
Re: successful women
I've observed that even housewives themselves feel intimidated by working women sometimes. Women who stay at home are very impressed by other women who are working as well as managing their houses.
I've also observed many young men today want someone who works, because they think she'll be more active, confident and social - someone to match them and understand their outside issues better.

So being successful is only a man characteristic, is that what you're saying...? When a woman wants a successful life, with a good job and income and independence, she is trying to be like men?
Re: successful women

No , he is saying 'successful' does not mean only the 'success' in terms of career. Defining successful woman as someone who achieves a lot in terms of career is not a correct assessment.
A woman who invests herself in her family can be equally/more 'successful' in her life.......in short...career success does not define success in life.......

In that case a woman thinks of her family more than men do in general, so the assumption of family=optional doesn't make sense. Aren't men the one's who keep fooling around in their youth and dodging around the subject of marriage. Most women want to settle down as soon as possible... have a lovely family, husband and kids...

Thats just 'generalisation'.......a woman 'thinks' of her family more than a man.....i can't really reply to that because thats just an opinion.......i wouldn't like to think that your dad or my dad or many other family 'MEN' don't think about their family enough........
and "men fooling around".......thats another generalisation.......if by 'fooling' around you mean having affairs n whatnot then i would like to say that they are not fooling around by themselves, are they?...they do have a counterparty i.e a 'woman'..........and furthermore you just can't say 'most men fool' around...
and the last part about 'most women' want to settle down.......guess with whom they do 'settle' down?? yes...you are right...its one of those "men" ...
so in short...instead of making this a Man vs Woman thing.......lets just stick to what success means for a woman........we can go on and on about "men do this" "women do this"........which will be nothing but personal opinions and achieve nothing in the end..

Absolutely. But you see this was an answer to the 'family=optional' point made for women. So does every working woman think that way... is that also not a generalization. Secondly it started off as a man vs. woman thing when the differentiation was made in what the definition of success was for both.
And who do the men settle down and make families with... other men?
Re: successful women
Behind every successful women is a man.
Re: successful women
"Successful woman" are by and large unmarried. Why? Marriage was not a priority. Work was. You reap what you sow.
Re: successful women
you’re doing it again…
…
oh..you do ‘generalize’ pakwoman..
..
the point of difference in that post about ‘optional’ was how the ‘success’ is usually attributed more towards career success rather than success in life…
i absolutely i am certain about the family part for guys too…a successful man is not successful in my eyes if his family is ignored…just as i said about women…
but in my personal opinion (and i liket o believe many others too)…the attention and effort of spending time and nurturing that is required of a woman is more than a man’s…thats what was behind that ‘family optional’ point…
i am out..
Peace
