| I'm sure I'm gonna trigger some people with this, but I'm honestly curious what guys want, or at least what they think they want. You see a lot of women now going to college, getting degrees and getting really good high paying jobs and moving up in their companies and becoming really successful from a career and financial perspective. Unfortunately this often takes a long time and its not until their 30's that they think about settling down. There is also the issue of hypergamy or "dating up" which the majority of women tend to do. It's very unlikely for a woman to settle for a guy that makes less money than them or who they perceive to be inferior to them in some way. I'm curious though, what is it usually that you look for a woman. Is a successful assertive and likely older career woman what you want? Already anticipating the "who cares what men want" responses. No one is telling women what to do with lives. I'm just curious to find out if the narrative around guys not caring about money and power in women is true and if they tend to value things like youth and attractiveness more. |

| i much prefer a partner that have equal or less wealth/income than me since one of the biggest cause of divorce (but we do not have that kind of law here yet) is money problems and i do not want to feel more pathetic when she blames me for having a poorer wealth/income |
| Most straight guys would not turn down a successful career woman... power is very attractive... Like, if a successful woman wanted to prey on me sexually, I'd be totally down ;) ;) |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| I don't think I'd mind either way, as I'm fairly certain career success would not be a factor in who I like, love, and eventually chose to marry. That being said, this day and age it is really hard to get by, let alone start and raise a family, without both husband and wife being breadwinners for the household. |
 |
| Obviously, at least in my case. I'll be a stay-at-home dad and do all the housework while waiting for her to get back from work. Reverse gender roles relationship is something worth dying for. But tbh career and money still don't really matter as long as she is mentally (and mb physically) strong. |

| I'm gay, so no. Even if I were straight, I'd want a subby stay at home lady to make me feel macho and in control. |

"Is a successful assertive and likely older career woman what you want?" not really, not now at least lol |

| As long as she will still have enough Time for our Family, why not? Otherwise, I have to question how successful one is if they have to work Overtime every Time just to keep their Position, rather than having more convenient Work Conditions like Flexitime, Home Office or nearby Work (less than half an Hour Commute), 35-40h per Week and long and paid Vacations. |
| That depends on the career and how many hours they work. If it's constant work and that keeps her away I'd get lonely. Only time that might work if that is the case if it's a career I could be involved in. |
traed said: It depends on whether it is really worth. Right now, I favor Free-Time over Money, but that might change with Age. Still, I can't imagine being together with someone if I don't even play a Role in their Life. That depends on the career and how many hours they work. If it's constant work and that keeps her away I'd get lonely. Only time that might work if that is the case if it's a career I could be involved in. What Career do you mean? |
| hell no woman are subordinate to man kappa |
| For sure. Girls who have no drive or long-term goals turn me off. |

I'd rather be a poor boy with poor girl in love together than to have no love. I don't know, like if it's a career that suits my interests I could work with them. The higher a position of authority they are in the easier it would be for a girl like that to help get me in. |
traed said: Hmm, not sure whether being poor is worth it. Besides, having Friends or at the very least positive Relations to others is something that is already worthwhile imhoI'd rather be a poor boy with poor girl in love together than to have no love. I don't know, like if it's a career that suits my interests I could work with them. The higher a position of authority they are in the easier it would be for a girl like that to help get me in. So you would like to have an Office Romance? I'm not so sure about that, because you may end up shouting at each other because of the Stress or you'd get treated strangely by your Colleagues. |
| If we can call "successful career" to be good in kitchen then yes. |
 |
| Lol no. Im perfectly fine with my lady friend i have now. |

That can be too but you can't always spend that time with friends or share as much. I would never want to work in an office. |
traed said: True, but you don't need to. That can be too but you can't always spend that time with friends or share as much. I would never want to work in an office. Then a Romance among two Police Officers going on Patrol? Or two Archeologists looking for their common Ahnenerbe? :D |

| Did you just assume I would enter a relationship? Lmao. No but seriously, I would prefer her to be successful. But it doesn't really matter if you love the person. As long as they don't take advantage of you. |

OT: If she's a good woman then being successful isn't going to be a turn-off. I mean, if she's making money as well I should be happier, right? Maybe it could be difficult to get our vacation time to line up, but it's better than her sitting around bored and possibly getting a boyfriend on the side to occupy her time. If she wants to be working stopping her will only cause more problems than it will solve. |

| I don't care either way. It's not like I have a specific preference in relation to success. |
| more women than men are in education. if anything women, should be asking if they want career men. |
| It really doesn't matter, because it is in the sexual arena that she has to know what she wants. Just because she is successful in life, doesn't mean she doesn't have the need to be top dog in the bedroom. Guys just need to be aware that it is OK to move on and away from traditional 1950's relationship dynamics, and think more about dominance and submissiveness in the bedroom, not in the work and business world. Everyone really needs to protect their own assets, think more in terms of a cooperative relationship between two separate people, and not worry too much about who is more or less, but in how cooperational the two can be. |
| idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion. |

| I dont know. Im slowing growing up from being a teenage boy and into an adult. My waifus never seems to change over the years. |
| Sure, if she will have me. As long as she is attractive. |
| I'd be fine being the only one working, but if she works too that'd be great. So, sure. Either way. |

| Most importantly she has to be able to take care of herself. When you envision supporting someone, you imagine being a pillar, and not the floor. You're not there to be walked all over, but to help hold the ceiling up along with them as another pillar. But beyond that I don't want to see someone as a dollar sign. I would much prefer a woman who can be content with her life than someone who constantly feels the need to have more. |
| Yeah, if im going to shackle myself down by marrying, id like a girl that can stand on her 2 feet. I dont want a slave or dumb monkey. Otherwise i wouldnt get married at all and just get fuck buddies. |

| I personally don't give a shit. There's a girl I'm friends with that I have a bit of a crush on, but I'm afriad to tell her. I have no desire to be in a "state sponsored marriage" or any shit like that but I genuinely like her were so alike in many ways an i dunno what to do? Im a bit drunk but anyone have advice for me? What should i do? |

What should i do? The worst you can do is fail. The opportunities are so much greater. Don't worry about the method or how awkward you feel, or the setting. Everyone views their own romance through their own rose tinted glasses, building up the pressure for others unnecessarily. Tell her through text, or out of nowhere. Do it however you can. What's most important of all is getting to the starting line to begin with, only then can you say you're doing the right thing or not. |
| I'm less concerned about a woman's status and more interested in her soul. A cashier at MacDonald's can bring me greater happiness if she shares similar values and inspires me to live for her. |
 |
| >I'm sure I'm gonna trigger some people with this I think that's your purpose for creating this thread. Anyway, is there a reason why won't you like someone to succeed? |
| While I don't rank education too high on my priority list when it comes to having a potential partner, I do find it a huge turn-off if a woman has no aspirations. If all she wants to do is sit around at home all day, unwilling to find even the simplest job and expecting me to sustain us both, that I ain't putting up with. |
| I would like her being, not too much dependent on myself, although It does not matter, if she has a succesful career, the only thing, which really matters, for myself, is, that she shall be capable of taking her of everything, when I'm no longer, there. |
 |
| I'd very much like a woman that doesn't exist. Because that's the best type of women there are. |
traed said: Fair enough.Different people need different things to maintain a good psyche.

So maybe a private Detective Duo, then. Together you will resolve every Case! :D Or maybe a Reporter with his Photographer. Or the Weathergirl with her Cameraman or or or. But if Archaeologist sounds good, then would you want to be in the same Position as her or as an Underling/Helper/Supporter of her? Also, would you prefer to be in a Team with others as well or just you and her? |
