According to the New York Times, women earning high salaries can also intimidate their male friends.
For the first time, women in their 20s who work full time in several American cities -New York, Chicago, Boston and Minneapolis - are earning higher wages than men in the same age range. This is according to a recent study by Andrew Beveridge, a sociology professor at Queens College in New York.
The new income superiority of young women is bringing them "forms of hostility they weren't prepared to meet", Beveridge told the New York Times.
This has caused some women to try to protect the egos of dates who make less money. They do so by choosing not to leave their shopping bags sitting in the open around their apatment. They also avoid talking about their business achievements, according to the report.
