Good luck in college, I went through exactly what you are going through in school. It is a fun, learning experience that will teach you many things both in the classroom and out of it.
I'm not worried about my dating life. I'm actually delaying it on purpose by focusing on my studies.

If you think that spilling my guts on this forum is embarasing, try passing a day at work wearing a 12 month baby diaper taped around your jeans for a whole day.


So let go back to the thread if you don't mind

Why do successfuk women struggle with relationships?

Then the premise of your OP makes no sense. How can a person that has comfort in her/his life be faced with such struggles? I suppose a masochist might find comfort there, but for non-masochists, the descriptor doesn't cut it. Second, you go on to note careers in the OP, and I hate to break it to you, but you're simply not exposed to career women as a 20-yr-old student. You will be, someday, if you chose a decent major.

I'm in college, I'm going to university after I'm done. All the people I meet, I analyse their behavior without passing any judgement. I use Critical thinking, my experience, Biology, Psychology and Sociology to predict behaviors.

Its like using mathematics to calculate how fast is an object gonna travel in the air if I throw it a specific speed.
No, it's not. Not by any stretch of the imagination. There are no human behavior variables that can fit into a simple equation to predict anything with certainty. What you're saying is so ignorant that it's difficult to address.

Human behavior can be predicted using the same principles (Biology, Psychology and Sociology). I've managed to compartmentalize my emotions so I can basically have a normal conversation and keep in control of every single action I do and analyse behavior and body language at the same time.
Again, no, it can not. In reality, none of this extends outside your own head. You are simply too inexperienced and undereducated to know any better. To think you can fathom the experience of another via psych 101 pop psychobabble classes is reproachable.

So tell me Braunwyn what is your definition of a successful woman? and How old are you?
As stated, the definition is dependent upon context. I will agree that success, imo, includes contentment. As far as careers/work goes - a successful scientist, artist, mom, gardener, physician, etc will relish her work and the benefits it provides her community. I suppose money can play a role for some, but not for all. Successful women, ime, exhibit class, are typically educated (formally or informally), and satiated. But, my understanding of the terms doesn't really matter. It's your interpetation that is in question. And according to your first sentence in this response, it doesn't gell with your OP. That's for you to work out.

I'm in my 30's - married, career, the whole ball of wax.

I figure two possibilities here- 1. a knee-jerk response of the child that wandered outside the safety zone of his sand box or 2. vast experience that lends to an unknown face of maturity...in the vein of the emperor that wears no clothes.

Ahh Chris, now you have shown your maturity level. When someone disagrees with you, that does not make them a nobody. When I disagreed with you, you told me about your illness knowing sympathy would make me be kind. Now, you have lashed out in anger, and that is not the way to have a reasonable debate. If you truly want to discuss your OP, you have to be prepared for people to disagree with you. Don't ruin your own thread in anger.

I tried to rep you for this... but couldn't. So I am just going to sit here and nod in approval.

That not debunking an argument thats called a personal attack and thats a fallacy. I replied to the attack and shall quote why its a personal attack

"Again, no, it can not. In reality, none of this extends outside your own head. You are simply too inexperienced undereducated to know any better. To think you can fathom the experience of another via psych 101 pop psychobabble classes is reproachable."

Your not attacking my argument your attacking my credibility.

No, she was explaining why she does not accept your premise. You, on the other hand, dismissed her without any thought at all. Calling a woman who has a career, family, and life experience a nobody is not the way to prove your point. It just helped her point and hurt yours. Next time keep you temper in check, and more people will be willing to consider your opinion.
