The primary reason men are scared of dating richer and more successful women is because they believe they’d be less relevant in such relationships.
Men love to call the shots in the relationship, they love to be cherished and valued as well; these are part of a man’s natural ego. But most men feel threatened when they are with a more successful woman; they feel their respect, value and authority would be usurped by such a woman.
Traditionally, a man should be the breadwinner of a home, and every man who does this is usually more confident. When a woman is the richer partner and the major provider in the home, the man’s ego might feels threatened as well. Men love to be dominant, call the shots and be the provider; this boosts their ego and makes them feel more relevant in the relationship.
Also, men love to wow their women and thrill them with expensive treats. A richer woman surely can afford all that and might not really value those treats — that’s the tape that plays in a man’s head.
Finally, it all boils down to a matter of love, respect and value that makes men scared of dating richer and more successful women.
