[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, very ambitious guys often put themselves first. The ones I dated were very charismatic, charming, had lots of friends, made me feel very special. But then end of the day, they prioritized work and whatever they needed to do rather than our relationship. [/quote]

This was my experience too. In my mid twenties I briefly dated a nice guy who was super busy starting his own company and raising capital for it. I’m not joking that he left me sitting at a very nice restaurant for 40 minutes while he stepped out to take at least one call for it on our 1st or 2nd date. He was apologetic but his business consistently came first. Who knows if it was just a stressful period or if he’s still that way. Either way I knew quickly that he wasn’t available enough for me.

There are also people who balance ambition better but generally I’d rather be with an intellectual big law partner than a c suite executive or finance bro. There are exceptions but generally the latter are going to be douchey.[/quote]
