Why Successful Women Are Often Single: Myths and Facts

Successful but lonely – this is not only the heroine of a famous Soviet comedy. In modern society, this problem has not gone away.
Often the phenomenon is explained by the woman's desire to build a successful career. As a result, problems accumulate significantly more or the conviction develops that being alone is not bad.
Experts have named the main reasons why successful women remain alone.
Career and schedule
Mainly because of the desire to keep up with business. There is simply no time left for personal life. In addition, in such a crazy rhythm, the chances of accidentally meeting the love of your life are reduced to zero.
The habit of postponing relationships until later, when you have your own home and a stable and high income, develops imperceptibly.
Myths and facts
There is an opinion that, having undergone such training, female leaders develop a strong-willed character, almost masculine.
But it turns out that this is not entirely true. The thing is that a man wants to bear the burden of responsibility for the family. He wants to make decisions on his own. A woman should love him for this, thank him, and do housework.
In a couple with a strong woman, something akin to competition arises, and as a result, the man leaves for a defenseless or simply more accommodating one.
But it can also be the other way around. According to observations, weak-willed men who do not want to make decisions themselves, earn money, etc. often “stick” to strong-willed women. In such a case, the woman cannot stand it.
Habit and error
Having gone through this kind of hardening, the female leader suddenly decides that she is not so bad alone, that she is used to solving her problems herself and is not obligated to anyone.
Or, in general, a conviction may arise that the existing way of life is freedom and independence. But such a conviction borders on banal pride.
