Who's Winning?

In a general sense, women want a man who is dominant; she wants a man that can “beat her at her own game.” More directly, if we examine a woman’s strongest quality whether it is looks, intellect, or even athletic ability, the man must exceed or at least equal her strongest attribute. I support this argument with the example of Marian Jones (the world’s fastest woman) who marries the world’s fastest man. In this case, the woman needed a man who exceeded her own athletic ability. In result, the woman does not feel bigger or better than her partner. We can apply this same theory to Lela Ali’s marriage to another professional boxer or even Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, by which Will surpasses Jada’s fame and fortune. If the woman feels that she is better or exceeds her man’s potential in any aspect, she will begin to think that “she can do better.” In this scenario, the best man for her is the one who “beats her at her own game.”
