Hey MAL, just a quick question... do you guys find hardworking people attractive? People with great work ethic and motivation to be successful in life, people with a goal in life other than to leech of parents house/food/living expenses? People who try to always stay busy and productive, etc.

I think this applies to an extent.... do you guys look for that in a romantic partner? Not being fully on the same page might cause issues in the relationship in the future etc.

Discuss.

Kinda depends on what the person is working hard in, if it's something I dislike, then it's no. Sure being passionate is your own thing, I tend to be more relaxed in most areas, I kinda think like that guy from Hyouka, if I have to do something, I'll do it fast, if I don't have to do it, I won't.

I think I would value cleverness over hard work.

I have more respect for people who are hard working and motivated because it means that the person has goals and hopes to accomplish them one day. Its actually a very healthy way to act. I'll use a real life example I know someone who felt they didn't have to work so instead when they wanted something they would go and just steal from a store. And justify it by the fact that they needed to eat and they didn't have the money and couldn't get a job. Started off with small things some gum a drink then moved on to bigger things. They saw no problem with acting that way. They aren't my friend anymore after I found that out because I work in retail people still all the time from stores in retail because they feel no ones looking ect. Doesn't make you much of a trust worthy person. But this is just how I feel maybe some people have different views.

Honestly, I find it attractive as long as they aren't overdoing it, I guess. Those who are married to the job aren't really for me.

Ambition works though. Means you've got direction. Quite honestly, why wouldn't a girl want someone with that? You think they want the opposite? Think again.

I doubt ambition is meant to help anyone but the user. Some people's ambition does involve helping others though, as we see through history. My ambition is to be a famous writer. I mean, I could say it would help people through relation or simple entertainment but it's not a cure for cancer. We can't limit ambition.

^people with ambition and talent wrote Kill la Kill. That kind of shit doesn't put you above anyone else, it puts you somewhere else.

If talent was as widespread as ambition, the world would be a great place, but unfortunately, many people have no talent and huge ambitions, and they'll try all their life to get on top of their neighbours. Suddenly ambition takes the form of a huge black SUV polluting 15 times more than other cars and heavy enough to let you drive like a fucking 8 yo under the influence of alcohol, without giving a fuck about others.

I think you're making it something most posters didn't have in mind.
if we're talking solely about relationships - then I definitely wouldn't choose someone who sits around all day and wastes time, ie, a person with no ambitions. attraction is one thing, but in the long run, people who have no desire to move somewhere with their lives are kinda burdensome.

without ambition, your talent means nothing-maybe true for vice versa.

Ambition is corruption when it becomes pride-but these are two different words. I feel like your examples of ambition are arrogant assholes instead of someone like Nikola Tesla or Bill Gates.

Maybe someone has ambition to buy that geo metro. that ill 80 mpg

Hardwork and ambition are both awesome, but I don't like people who are obsessed with working, always rushing to make use of every single second.
Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons.
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
-Walt Whitman

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I don't know how it affects me when I look for a romantic partner. It's nice, but when I think of 'sexy qualities' I care more about intelligence, creativity and weirdness.

In general though, I would prefer to have friends with great work ethic. I think this is an important quality and these people inspire me to step my game up. My commander in the army had an insane work ethic. I love that guy.

You're twisting what ambitious could mean at its essence.

It simply means you're a go-getter and you're not spineless when it comes to life in general. Believe it or not, I think that's only a positive quality regardless of how retarded it may seem. Life isn't about staying in the shallow end, any girl who's worth your time wants a guy who challenges himself and grows as a result of challenge. But if my thought is that of "nice guy" thinking, it also means as always, you have to be ambitious with your game and not give a fuck about what she would want in you. In today's spineless society, that's what should work for the "right" girls out there, mind you there are very few as it is, but if you look hard enough, this is exactly what you should be preaching if you want to be satisfied.
