Are men threatened by good-looking, successful women?

I'm in my mid twenties and I've had problems with men all of my life! I really don't get it. I am good looking and very tall, people say I look like a model and I've got a good head on my shoulders as well as a successful career. I can spot the "bad-boy" types and generally stay away from them. I tend to go for the intelligent, cute, nice guys. But after a month or so of dating, whether having sex or not, their attitude changes and the pattern always seems to be the same. They either break up with me saying they are not ready for a relationship or they just don't tell me anything at all and ignore me completely. Just recently, I was dating a guy who said he wanted a relationship. Our dates were really fun at first but after only a couple of months, he became very distant and seemed terrified to talk to me. Now, he's completely ignoring my calls. What's the deal with all of these guys? I know I'm a good catch so are they threatened by me?

Update:

I'm not egotisctical or conceited in any way but its bugs me that I've been single all of my life!

    To women, 'bad boys' are nice guys yet to the rest of the world, 'nice guys' are nice guys. Go figure

    P.S Men aren't threatened by women like you btw. You achieved something? Good for you but when a man's with you, he's probably not with you for what you do. The only thing threatening about you is how nasty the rejection might be (with an audience watching.) That's what scares the crap out of most men out here

    A nasty rejection in public is a huge blow to a man's ego

    A lot of them favored Hillary, they just did not want her on the ticket given that the Obama camp did not want her on the ticket. They do appear to hate Palin, and that i believe it can be more commonly because they see her as a chance. They wanted the bragging rights of the first lady President being a woman, and now she threatens to take away a few of their steam. Plus the liberal ladies who favored Hillary do not like her for the reason that she may be very conservative. I can recognize that they do not like her, however they're blatantly surroundings double standards. Not simply men and women, some primary media retailers, criticized her saying that she do not have time to care for her household with the entire responsibilities of being vp. It's one of the sexist matters I've ever heard. You never hear someone pronouncing guys must keep out of political place of job due to the fact they is not going to have time for their households. No, they only anticipate the lady is meant to take care of the loved ones at the same time the person is busy with politics. If Hillary or any other female democratic nominee has small children and a family to are likely to and the media made all these criticisms against them, the feminists would tear them to SHREDS, but considering the fact that she's a republican, they don't care. It suggests the place their priorities rather are. They are extra concerned about the liberal agenda than the true rights of women. This identical factor occurred with the Clinton sex scandal. Not one of the feminists criticized bill for the way he used his intern, considering the fact that they liked him an excessive amount of as a president to do any damage to him. And a lot of ladies out there are pronouncing "No girl would ever vote republican simply when you consider that they put a girl on the ticket", but guess what, there are numerous conservative women available in the market who particularly like Palin, in order that they need to recover from it. They're just mad that they're getting a taste of their possess medicine after so many girl had been going to vote for Hillary just considering she's a lady.

    Well you seem to have a bit of an ego on you. Perhaps you just aren't appealing to them in a girlfriend-material way.

    No guys are threatened by such women. They may not find such women appealing in a partner (or they may) but that does not make them "Threatened" by them just not interested.

    No. But I guess even the most naive guy around would still be cautious about dating a lesbian leaning and self centered megalomaniac.

    It sounds like you think very highly of yourself. That could be part of the problem.
