Some might believe men are intimidated by successful women, but a new study shows it's quite the opposite.

Some might believe men are intimidated by successful women, but a new study shows it's quite the opposite.

 In a Hamilton Project trend report of 2011 it shows marriage rates grew 10 percent for the top female earners. And the rates have declined for women in the lower earning brackets.

A University of Texas survey finds men are ranking the amount a woman earns high on the list of ideal traits for wife. And they're ranking domestic skills lower and lower.
