[quote=Anonymous][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]

Everything here. That is no work/life balance at all.

When our kids were at home DH would leave for work at 7am dropping my youngest off at the bus stop and get home around 7pm or a bit later. When he was home he rarely did business work and that includes weekends. He was very successful and he made it all work. The people who worked for him always appreciated his work life balance because it affected their lives. Within our group of friends there were other men who did the same thing. [/quote]

WTF? 7am bus stop? That’s must have been a high schooler.

And in what world is 7pm work life ‘balance’ — I assume you SAH b/c otherwise you would not have been fooled by his gaslighting. I’m sure his employees loved working 10+ days, haha did they tell you this or was that his story?[/quote][/quote]

I thought that poster was satirizing a lot of DCUM posts we see from women about their husbands. Obviously out of the house for 12 hours, leaving at 7 and getting home at 7, is not work life balance. The touch about the employees "appreciating" their 12-hour days was a masterful touch.[/quote]
