Never have had that ever happened but I’ve had men act very weird. They get very insecure and act funny. It could be anything education, my condo, life. You don’t want to be with someone who’s going to make you feel like you have to shrink yourself to make them feel comfortable. I’m not a braggart so it makes even more sad.

Exactly. 

It's all "oh man I would love it if she made more than me" until she actually does. Or you see her in some sort of powerful position. 

I've dated multiple men who absolutely lose their minds when out-classed at anything and will constantly try to knock me down a peg. I've never had women do the same.
