I woulden't really care people pushing me out of the way to go harass my wife yeah that might piss me off if she didn't mind it i just wouldent get in the way i'd read a book while we wait.
As long as she was hot!
On a more serious note, as long as she was still someone I could love and respected me as well. I have nothing against strong women, I kinda like the idea as long as she doesn't assume I'll just be a simpering sidekick-type

Powerful as in intends to exercise her power over me?
Been there, that shit doesn't work for me, I want serenity in my relationships not an ongoing battlefield.
But a woman in power that can treat me as an equal I have no problem with.

for love yeah i would but not if shes a celebrity not cuz shes succesful but cuz most celebs trat infidelity like a change of underwear females included same with one or two buisness women call me old fashiond but i bielive u shouldn't cheat if your in a relationship also you left one scenario out which is my current one where im dating a body builder and she can kick my ass no problem but we love each other and she understands not to interfer in any fights i might get into out of respect for my maleness after all its cuz im a guy (and personality imake her laugh apparently?) that she loves me
So...in this hypothetical scenario I'm dating someone successful and intelligent, with plenty of connections...where's the problem exactly? I'm pretty submissive anyway so this would be a no brainer for me.
Yup.
To quote Mr Nicholson "Boys let me tell you something. There is nothing sexier in this world then a woman you have to salute every morning."

I don't give a shit about wealth, so that wouldn't phaze me one way or the other. As for intelligence, I find that an IQ of 156 and lifetime of reading means that, generally speaking, woman who aren't intelligent bore me to tears, so: yes, please. I'm a private person, so it might bother me if I get media attention by proxy, but if it's limited to her, then it's fine (as long as she's fine with it, obviously). As for physical power, I find women who can beat the shit out of me rather sexy. Did I miss any definition of power?
More realistically, however, since I'm ugly, socially awkward and don't get out much, I would date/marry pretty much any woman, so I may not be a good indication of most men.

Power, money and fame are irrelevant, but intellect?, HALLEFUCKINLUJAH!. I couldn't imagine being with a woman who wasn't intelligent. I can barely hold a coherent conversation with most people. As soon as anything heavy is introduced, it's all downhill from there.
P.S: Who we are with the outside world and who we are with people we love are rarely the same. Many women(And men) that seem dominant relish the relaxation that comes with a more passive role in romance, and vice versa.

Well, I've never had that opportunity (duh), so I can't say for sure.
But I don't think I would have a problem with it. I'm not much of a centre-of-attention type anyway, if she has/wants the spotlight then she's more than welcome to it. If I love her and she loves me than I'm certainly willing to give it a shot.
Of course it's possible that, when actually faced with such a situation, I would suddenly get resentful or whatever, but I don't see it happening.

This is a bit of a lopsided example, because few people will ever actually date someone that's constantly in the media spotlight. Speaking from personal experience, few men actually like their woman to be more "powerful" then them, whether that means a paycheck, or greater social success, or whatever. Men and women both like to feel needed by their partner, and while it's generally taken as a given that the woman is needed for caring and nurturing, the man typically feels like it's his role to be the strong provider. (This is in American culture, anyway.) Take that away from him and he often feels uncomfortable.
I've only met one man who was honest enough to admit that he'd feel weird if his wife made more money than he did, but I've met (and dated) plenty who said they couldn't have cared less only to have serious problems with it when it happened.

Probably not. I'd have no say in the relationship if she were wealthy/famous/really smart as well as beautiful. No way in hell it would work out.
