Episode DEEP DIVE: Why some men are intimidated by successful women
Are men attracted to or intimidated by ambitious women?
Some women feel like they're being penalised when it comes to dating because of their career success, study accomplishments, or property goals.
Dee Salmin asked the Hook Up audience and heaps of listeners said they feel like a lot of men are attracted to the idea of ambition, but in reality, are put off by it. So, what’s going on?
In this week's Deep Dive, we hear from a sexologist who thinks the swing back to traditional values may be one explanation, and a sociologist who's been looking into dating in the age of the manosphere.
Guests:
• Lauren French, sexologist • Joshua Thorburn, sociologist, Monash University
