If you met a woman who had their own home, a great job, a good income, good cars, a good relationship with family, education...etc., would that intimidate you? If they were already self-sufficient and didn't 'need' a man's help. Would that turn you off...intimidate you? or would that be a relief that you didn't have to 'take care' of them?

I had a lot of good strong independent women in my life when I was growing up. The best of them was my great grandmother.

WOWSA....send her my way!!!! To in fact discover women that in fact own their home, a great job, a good income, good cars, a good relationship with family, education etc. Now, if only she would reside in the Cedar Rapids area.
I must be extremely fortunate to have two very good female "friends" that fit into the above category. OK, some might call our "friendships" long term relationships. One resides in a small town 40 miles west of CR another in a smaller town 25 miles north.
We rendezvous when our schedules permit, they do not desire to be joined at the hip 24/7. These women are secure, fun, very out going, independent as well as open minded. They posses few bitch like tendencies. 
One of the most impressive aspects of women such as these is that they don't and haven't had as long as I have known them major drama in their lives. One has been a "friend" for 7 years the other 5 years.
I feel thatbthe majority of professional males are not intimated by successful women. Most hold great admiration as well as respect for females such as these. They are certainly a rare discovery at least here in Iowa.
Taking care of a women as in financially take care of her per a relationship? Not a happening deal here.
I'm certainly not interested in "needy women" as I'm sure most secure women are not into "needy men".

No, not at all. I'd be impressed. But then I'd treat her like $hit and destroy her self-esteem until she thought I was a great match for her.

Hmmm, I'd be thinking you'd have a difficult time destroying anything belong to this woman, but go ahead and drive yourself crazy trying, could be your own ego winds up a wee bit bruised. (am assuming you are joking, but worthy of response anyway  )

I would love to date a self-sufficient woman who had no dire needs, and to be honest, that is the sort of woman I usually DO date!

Intimidated? No. Interested? Maybe, maybe not. If she didn't need anyone, then why would she want anyone? Able to take care of herself is one thing, not needing anyone is quite another. I am able to take care of myself, but that doesn't mean I don't need a woman.
What would turn me off in the above statement is "self-sufficient and didn't 'need' a man's help". Why would I want to be with someone who doesn't need me?
That said, independent is a good thing. I need my space sometimes... okay... often.

I have a difficult time with this, I've encountered this statement often and I don't understand why a man would not prefer that a woman is with them because she wants to be rather than needs to be...

I had a girlfriend make an interesting comment about her ex and myself once.
She said "He loved me because he needed me and you need me because you love me."

I think men succesful like and respect successful woman, but as a mate, they want one that is not quite as successful in the work world as they are. I also think many men desire submissive women and this is often exclusive with independence and success in the workworld.

I'd think a man would feel comfortable with a women who needed him for him, and not what he has to offer in material things. That seems to me, less intimidating and more secure to know that. Because some day that same man might loose his material assets, maybe due to an injury or hardship and he'd know she'll still be there, because it's he who she loves and not "what" he provides. Course I am not talking about the love, loyalty, and compassion the man does provide, if he looses that, he could loose her.
