[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

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?  [/quote]

Of course there is a middle ground! But people in that situation are unlikely to post in these threads because it sounds like bragging: "my DH is smart and ambitious but is still a good father and husband. Instead of aiming for that 1 mil job he aims for the 250k job or 500k or even the 750k job that comes with less hours."[/quote]

You’re sort of proving my point though...you’re defining the “middle ground” as an income of 250k to 750k.  That’s ridiculous.[/quote]
