Are you men intimidated?

The new semester started a few days ago. As usual, the girls dominate the population of new students or first semester undergraduates. According to a lecturer, out of a total of 6500 new students, about 70% of them are girls. So, does that mean that we girls are smarter? Oh well, I’m not going to debate on that today but what’s wrong with the male population?

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that men are usually afraid of intelligent ladies. With a scientifically proven record, the male ego in men makes them less interested or rather intimidated by women who hold higher positions at work or earn better wages. It is definitely a bad news to the successful women out there but how true can this be? Well, I’m really curious.

Seriously speaking, have you guys ever thought of one thing? Ever asked yourself why some women are not interested in you? …or why is it that you failed to attract certain girls? Well, I’m not really stressing on gender equality or discrimination here, but don’t you guys feel a bit ashamed of yourselves that most of today’s women achieve more in life that you? It is definitely not true that we girls love to compare achievements, wages, etc. etc. but honestly speaking, it is really a great turn off if the man we date has a lower qualification, or worse still, a lower mentality than us.

It’s not that you cannot date or marry someone of a higher qualification, but can you guys at least change your mindset and be a real man? Even though there are many househusbands these days, oh please….are you going to put your male ego aside, put on the apron, cook, feed the baby and do household chores at home while waiting for your beloved partner who takes over the role as the sole breadwinner? You got to be kidding!

Let me tell you something. If you have that kind of dream, which is to be a househusband, then you better sleep in your dream forever. Even in this modernized society, not many women are able to accept a husband who stays at home. (This excludes people who works at home or telecommuting.) I’m not saying that men cannot do household chores (of course it would be better if the man is able to help out at home) but staying at home and be a househusband? It really sounds a bit sissy to me!

So, now that explains why there are so many ladies out there who prefer to remain single. I mean, if these women could financially support themselves, then why should they lower down their standards and simply date or marry any Tom, Dick or Harry for the sake of having babies, or maybe because it’s time for them to tie the knot before it’s too late? Don’t get me wrong. The ladies might have the intentions of dating or marrying someone of the same or a higher standard but that doesn’t mean they’re materialistic. I’d say they’re just being realistic. Since they could financially support themselves, they’re certainly not looking for men who only function as an ATM machine.

Well, just a piece of advice to you guys out there. It doesn’t matter how much you’re earning, but please…. for goodness sake, please change your mindset. You men should never stay static at the current comfort zone. Be ambitious (Men are basically ambitious….that’s a traditional fact!) and strive for more in life. I heard you mumbling that you’re very contented with what you have now. So, I think I better congratulate you, but you know what? One should never be easily satisfied with what he has until he reaches his retirement stage. Oh come on, are you going to stop making ambitious dreams and targets in life just because you’ve achieved the previous ones? That will only make you a non-progressive person, or another term, a loser. Seriously, if a businessman stops thinking of potential growth for his company, then there would be no improvement to his business empire and everything would remain the same till the time he dies.

Life is just like a business. We need to be progressive. So guys, heed my advice and you’ll soon be able to see the difference yourselves. Oops. I thought I’ve always been a feminist? Haha…of course I still am! I still support the idea that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men but I’m not in favour of the female domination in certain aspects. After all, what’s life without some challenges from the opposite sex? *Grins*
