Wish I married a smart and ambitious man

Just ‘smart’ is the best. Lots of fun and interesting conversations with him and he has a high level academic type job and he’s around a lot.
I am also ‘smart’ but in a different subject for those who are being misogynists on here.

Who is being a misogynist? It’s just that this is the umpteenth iteration of a post that belongs in another era. If you want to be provided for, well sorry, if you want something done right do it yourself. It’s not solely his task to fulfill your financial fantasies.

No one said anything about money. That is you reading into the post. I know plenty of ambitious people who work in low pay, but high status fields (academia, journalism, foreign service, writing) who are very ambitious. I think that it’s about being with someone who has a vision for what they want to achieve and a reasonable plan for putting that into action. It is nice to be with someone who is actively working toward a goal.

I suspect that this is a troll post meant to stir sh*t up.

I married a smart and ambitious man and somehow he is also a great husband and father. I know it's a real balancing act for him given work demands but he really likes being with us. I know we are lucky.

You are. Just assuming that the woman isn’t smart because she is asking that question is misogynist.
I have advanced degrees in engineering and I’m female but you just assume from the start that I’m dumb. From your perspective most females are dumb - I can just tell from your line of questioning. Females aren’t ‘dumb’ even if they don’t have advanced degrees in engineering.

No. It’s the 21st century. Don’t rely on a man. Earn your own way.

Nothing like reading the lib chick man hating threads on a cold morning.

Look within YOURSELF to find your answer. Plus you're all brainwashed from the garbage you think is real. It's not.

As a woman, I am smart, high libido, and ambitious. Reasonably successful salary according to DCUM standards. Yes, I want a man that can match my drive. It's hard doing things alone and your man is content sitting and watching football all day or zoned out from his edible usage.

So, I am still looking. . .

P.S. I feel like my high libido is a curse.

Is there anything in between? It feels like on DCUM men are lumped into two categories: ultra-intense, 80 hour a week biglaw/lobbying/consulting/surgeon types who bring home $1million+ at the peak of their careers OR dudes who live in their parents' basement smoking weed and maybe make a few bucks walking dogs on the side. Is there any room for the government attorney making $120k with a decent work/life balance? Or the family medicine doctor who can leave work at 4:30 to pick up his kids?

Are we that incapable of seeing any nuance in this situation?
