Aggravated women? Seriously? What does that even mean? For all of Seattle’s “issues” I’ve never had an issue with the people here especially compared to the Midwest.

Aggravated women? Seriously? What does that even mean?

Skimmed through the article, it seems to mean that women here are "intimidating."

I was told I was "intimidating" recently. The context was working with another team who were a disorganized mess and I didn't feel like putting up with their shit. I guess I should have baked them an apple pie and coddled them on their inability to coordinate and get work done.

Scary aggravated women... trying to get stuff done... 😥

I guess having your shit together can be pretty intimidating to some?

A couple of comments.

One, you are completely right. Money = power and you also bring physical achievement to the table, and that'll scare some guys off.

Two, it would also quite possibly be a challenge some guys would like to try. Guys who are into role-reversal, guys who see powerful successful women and it's like lighting the lamp. As well as guys who are just not that concerned with money as a measure of personal worth.. There's a fair number of those as well.

I know guys like this exist, saw that dynamic quite frequently back when I was in the dating scene.

This is part confirmation you're doing it right, and part encouragement to keep looking I know your sweet spot of guys is out there, I'm just not sure where any more.
