When guys go for the boardroom, it isn't the woman running the meeting but the secretary who wheeled in the coffee and croissants before it started.

this is sooooooooooooooooo true

Here! Here!

Speaking of flirting... when I was at FirmMan this weekend, waiting for our fellow BTers to hit the last stretch of the run on the beach, 4 very attractive women came over and laid out their towels not far from me. I thought this was rather kind of them because I dug into my spot near the course shortly after the first runners came past and it was kind of slow for a while. So, needless to say, I passed the time glancing over my shoulder toward the finish, which just happened to be in their direction. Well, each time I'd look that way, one of the women, in an outstanding bikini, would quickly turn away, as if I caught her looking toward me.

Now, this surprised me at first because here I am, fat, dumb, and lazy, waiting to cheer the impressive folks on. But, when she got up to try out the water a few times, she'd get closer to me on each pass up/down.

Well, to finish up this long story... On her last trip up from the water, she came over to me, dripping wet,

and asked about the event. I told her what the deal was and she asked, "Why aren't you out there? You like you can do that," eyeing me up and down.

And, instead of telling her that I can't handle that distance yet, I told her I had done one the day before in CT and needed to recover. That wasn't a lie but I didn't tell her my Tri was a sprint.

You know... On the drive up I was disappointed my wife decided to stay in bed that morning. But, on the beach, I have to be honest that I felt it was a smart thing for her to stay home and catch up on the sleep she lost getting up early the day before to go to my Tri.

Oh... And yes, I made sure my ring was visible when I was talking to the bikini goddess. Nothing wrong with a little flirting, right?

it; that I had the upper hand because I was smarter; that he couldn't control me as he had his ex-wife because she wasn't as smart as him. Suprising, yet stupid, honesty.

It's sad that some people feel they must have the "upper hand" or to "win" every discussion.
Can't we all just get along? hehe

At least he's an "ex" and you can go get someone mo betta.

Yup. I guess he proved his intelligence inferiority by actually expressing that manipulative thought. Yes, I LOVE the ex in exBF.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Do you actually believe that men aren't attracted to you because they're intimidated? Do you REALLY believe that? Please...

Well, If you all would just get back into the kitchen where you belong, the men-folk would be right happy to court you...

Clearly any woman would be lucky to find a respectable man like you Welshy.

It is so sad that there are some men that actually think this way. This is as backwards as racism or Nazi-ism (is that a word?)

For the record, I believe the same thing. I have found that some guys are intimidated by independent, smart, and ambitious women. Not all, but those who lack confidence definitely are- and it's those guys that I shouldn't even care what they think of me because I wouldn't want them anways if they don't repsect me for being a strong woman. I have had several of my guy friends tell me that they aren't intimidated by me (because they know me very well) but said they can see why a guy would feel that way. It's frustrating when you find out that a guy wants to be with someone who's more needy and can't think for herself or make a decision. I guess guys who are looking for that like to be in control and have to inflcit their egos on some naive girl who doesn't know any better. I look at it this way- I'm almost 29, have a career, am ambitious, and live on my own. I have no choice but to be independent- there's nobody to take care of me but myself and I'm not going to stop my life and wait around and not live it while waiting for a man to take care of me. I am certainly happy with the person I am and my life so that's all that matters, not what some jerk thinks. I believe that everyone possesses certain qualities for a reason, and the qualities I have are going to the be qualities that my special someone admires and is looking for. So...for all those guys who don't like certain things about me- who cares??? They aren't for me and I'm not changing or giving up my independence or ambition for them.

Ok- I'll get off my soap box now and get back to work

I bet the majority of men that think this way have a napoleonic complex in their pants.

I'll try again. Runnergirl put my message much more eloquently. I don't honestly think most men are going to be intimidated by a "career woman." And as Runnergirl said, why would you care about them anyway? You're around these men all day long at work. Do they seem intimidated by you? I doubt it. Frankly, I think to say that "successful, intelligent women have trouble meeting/dating mature men" is a bit of a cop-out. That's not the problem.

You might have trouble meeting men because it's just hard to meet people. And there are fewer mature men who are available. That's probably the issue, not that they're intimidated.
