Dear Queenie,
I am a successful professional woman. I have been told that I am physically very attractive to men, but they find me intimidating because I am so successful and don’t need anyone to take care of me – that is, to support me financially.
I would like to find a man to share things with and live with and have children with, but I cannot imagine being a submissive “clinging vine” just to support a man’s ego.
Queenie, what chance do I have?—Independent woman
Dear Independent woman,
There are many men who find a successful independent woman intimidating, but there also are others who will consider you an amazing life partner. You just have to keep on looking for them. Surely you have friends who can help by introducing you to such men whom they know. You might also meet such men by volunteering with organisations that offer assistance to people in need.
