Men generally are afraid of a wife who has more understanding than themselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife.
In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women.
The only men who aren't in fear of women's reactions are usually men who aren't born or who are dead.
I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.
Women seem not to understand, or underestimate, the profound power they have over their husbands.
Some men are afraid of women who challenge them and demand respect and answers. That's who I am and will always be.
Men do weird things when they experience fear. It's like a fight-or-flight thing.
The word that I constantly hear out of women is 'fear.' It's almost like a background melody. Women have excellent degrees and experience, but we are afraid we aren't good enough because we have such high expectations.
Men tend to try to struggle to be more rational and reduce things to simplicity more and are more impatient with ambiguity than women are.
What makes men indifferent to their wives is that they can see them when they please.
