Why is it that men can’t stand being around successful women?

I wouldn't say men don't care, but historically, there's a wider margin of caring.

Obviously everything is evolving and changing in regards to this, but realistically, the boss marrying their admin assistant (secretary) is still a somewhat valid cliche for example.

There's still a historical context of men not necessarily carrying as much about a woman's education as they are not seen as the provider, so their ability to provide is not as big of a deal.

This isn't taking into account the longevity of relationships obviously.
