How to know if your man is capable of ‘being rich’

Some women may want to settle with someone capable of taking care of them and the family, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But how do you find such a partner?

Clinical psychologist Sadia Khan says, that men who have a better chance of being rich, work towards it, unlike “dreamers”, who believe a little too much in themselves.

She thinks men with a lot of “self-belief” tend to make empty promises because they are quite dreamy and believe everything is attainable as long as they count on themself.

But these are the ones who don’t attain great heights in life because they are “delusional” and lack a trait most successful men pride themselves on.

A man who doesn’t mind working under a boss, and is open to constructive criticism, works hard towards achieving a feat despite challenges and hiccups is likely to “become successful” and provide for his family.

“Broke men pay bills with self-belief”, says Sadia, before explaining that men who go ahead and make it “don’t have a lot of self-belief. They simply have certain skills and are overqualified for their jobs.”

One mistake wealthy men make

While a successful and wealthy man is capable of providing for his family, they are also prone to making a common mistake.

Sadia argues that wealthy men think a woman would be loyal to them as long as he meets her needs. But a woman “who craves a good life doesn’t seek emotional intimacy.”

As controversial as it seems, the psychologist believes that women who aren’t emotionally attached to their partner are far more likely to “stray”.

So, men who spoil their women are the ones at greater risk of “getting cheated on”. As women who seek emotional intimacy look forward to spending more time with their partner, which most successful men can’t provide, they are less likely to end up together.
