[quote=Anonymous][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]

I married that guy!  I used to think that he was not smart or ambitious enough and now I realize how great he is.

It’s called growing up![/quote]

Me too!  These threads are ridiculous...DH is a government attorney making $100k and working a very normal 40 hour work week.  We have time for our family, parents, and vacations without crazy juggling.  These threads make it seem like people like him are one notch away from unemployed neckbeards living with their parents at 40.[/quote]

+1 My DH is a government attorney and prioritizes a work-life balance. PP who talked about the DH who works less hours for 750k or 250k is living in a bubble. My DH makes about 125k; he’s very smart and loves his work and I would never want him to switch to a big firm.[/quote]
