​GUYS!! How To Date A Woman Who Is Successful More Than You

A new breed of woman—the high-earning, successful woman—is on the rise. From company CEOs to business moguls, more and more successful women today are out-earning men.

Traditionally, men were the breadwinners. Increasingly, women are bringing home the dough. Here, I will show you all the ways to date successful women.

If you are one of those men who feel having a girlfriend more successful than you is a blow to your ego, you’d better read up on these tips to help you deal with dating successful women.

#1 See her as a person and not a title or bank account. Having a girlfriend more successful in her career than you are in yours is no different than having a girlfriend who is not as successful or is just starting out in her career. Especially in the first few months of your relationship, get to know her as she is. She is so much more than her job or her bank account.

#2 Be honest about your insecurities. Instead of always looking at how successful and intimidating she is, think of the real reason why it is such an issue to you. Do you have low self-esteem, and that’s why you get easily insecure? It helps to be honest with yourself about these things, so you can work them out.

Likewise, be honest with her. If it bothers you that she takes you to expensive fundraising galas, pays for you, and gets you designer suits, then talk to her about how her actions make you feel. Things that make you uncomfortable must be addressed, especially when you are starting out in your relationship.

#3 Don’t be intimidated by her. Instead of looking at her and how she stacks up against you, look at her just as you would any other women. After all, she has the same needs in a relationship. A guy who confidently loves her and treats her right.

Focus on what you have and what you bring to the table. Play up your strengths. If you cannot give her expensive gifts, at least cook her dinner or teach her how to do something you’re good at

#4 Don’t look at it as competition. Don’t let your pride and ego get in the way of your relationship. Sure, she earns more or climbed up the career ladder faster and higher than you. That doesn’t mean you should work your a$s off, take no days off, and compete with her. Or, if she buys you a Rolex, that doesn’t mean you sell your place just so you can give her a Gucci Bag. Look at her success as your inspiration, but don’t let it get to your head.

#5 Be fiscally fit. You may not have the additional zeroes to your bank account, but at least you’re not driving yourself to being dirt poor with the way you spend. If you see her tip the valet a hundred dollars, don’t ever feel that you can do the same with what you’re earning. If you really want to be in the same league as her, then start with very small steps and make financially sound decisions right now.

#6 Still be the man. So, she’s raking in large amounts of money and takes you on expensive dates—don’t be a baby or a burden to her. Treat her just like you would any woman *unless you’re really a selfish, self-absorbed jerk* and take the lead in your relationship. Plan your dates, open doors for her, lead her to her seat, and continue to be the gentleman that you are. Continue to be the decision-maker in the relationship, but don’t go to extremes just because you are nursing your hurt ego.

Always keep in mind that you are dating a woman, not a job title or a bank account. Despite her career success, she is still worth your time, attention, and affection. It’s now up to you to put your ego aside and appreciate that this beautiful and successful woman drives you to be at your best, too.
