A WOMAN has revealed she believes she’s still single because men are too threatened to date her.
Writing for news.com.au, Jana Hocking, 36, said she’s dated both “crazy” career types and footy-loving lads who live for the weekend and want to settle down soon.
But either way, the writer and podcaster, from Sydney, Australia, believes guys can’t cope with a driven woman.
She says: “Often you will see their eyes glaze over as you start telling them about your job, including your ambitions and goals.
“It would appear, from the outside, that many find it emasculating for a woman to kick ass in their career. Heaven forbid if she makes more money than them.”
Although she admits not all men are like this, Jana says blokes who “cheer in our corner” are few and far between.
She adds: “My question is … why?! Is it a cave man thing, deep ingrained in our psyche that man is big tough hunter and woman stays home and looks after the cave?
“Are they worried that we are encroaching on their masculine energy? Do we come across as bossy or outspoken?”
Dismissing their “old school views”, she continues: “I often get men slide into my DMs telling me that I’m too picky, or too busy… or they will say ‘a career won’t keep you warm at night’, and I cannot tell you how infuriating that is.
“Has a woman ever said that to a male lawyer, or pilot or business owner? Nope.”
To conclude, Jana says any such men should steer well clear of her dating profile – as her time is too “precious” for time wasters.
And she has plans of dampening down her ambitions – nor should she.
