Why do people say that a woman's career doesn't matter?

[Babygirl_S]

Most men date women with good jobs.

[Dchrls78104]

How a woman makes her money to pay her bills is not so important to me; how she treats me or others around her is.

[Lazyrider67]

I would never say that - whoever does say it needs to accept that it's 2021 not 1895

It doesn't matter. Working at Taco Bell is just as good as making $50k. It doesn't add to her appeal to for me. I just wouldn't want her having a job that is immoral, requires her to travel and spend days away from home, and it would be ideal if she could have weekends off and holidays too to spend time together.

Her morals, personality, her past, and interests matter much more than any career/job.

[Babygirl_S]

Is it not embarrassing for you to date a woman with a low paid job?

[HighValue]

Nope. I'll show you some of what I look for, and even though my standards are high, her income isn't part of what interests me:

18 to 30 (over 30 equals no interest), hasn't done any hook ups or ONS, doesn't do any drugs (no weed either), doesn't drink alcohol or drinks very rarely and is willing to quit, doesn't smoke, no kids from past relationships, but does want some with the right person, no contact with any ex, once in a relationship won't be posting revealing and flirty pictures online for attention, doesn't try to make NEW opposite gender friends, will be very affectionate with me and she initiates the affection sometimes too, doesn't have an immoral job or one that requires her to spend multiple days away from home (traveling), no tattoos or very few (each tattoo makes her less attractive to me), will exercise every week just like I will to stay healthy and in shape for long term, is not hypocritical, is not greedy (values money and jewelry over handmade thoughtful gifts and is always concerned about something's price to determine how much she likes it), sees special occasions as being for BOTH people in the relationship. Once we have kids she can stop working until they are all school age (kindergarten) if she wants.

Yes doesn't really matter if the man have his own things. I have date a geologist she was super smart and rich but nothing of that kept me around she wasn't beautiful if beauty is illusion the why makeup industry worth billions. I met a manager she was looking average I liked her but her personality was off I left her her career didn't do anything with me. Women should learn man need peaceful companionship and kindness and taking care of her look and brings some kind of happiness and sex other than that is not really necessary.

WHo says that? A career is a career, no matter the gender of the one who has it.
Issue is, a career takes away a lot of your personal time, which means that quite often, a woman in career won't have a family or at least no children and it's not seldom that they end up whining for it. Or still whine because between their career and their kids they have no time for themselves.
Priorities. They should gauge what they want from life before choosing their path.

In my experience, several men have lost interest in me BECAUSE of me working at a career in the medical field. They say it makes them feel like they’re not good enough.

[Babygirl_S]

Does it include the ones in your field?

[Flower7]

No, but those guys haven’t really shown interest in me at all. Regular guys act interested until they find out.

[Babygirl_S]

It's surprising to me as men prefer women who are healthcare professionals in my country, especially if they're doctors.

[Babygirl_S]

A woman who doesn't have a good career can only dream of marrying men in fields like healthcare, engineering etc.

[Flower7]

On your profile, I see that you’re a healthcare worker also.

[Babygirl_S]

Yes and it was essential as I wanted to date men with nice jobs.

[Flower7]

That was one of my reasons also, but unfortunately it backfired on me! It seems to be a guy repellant.

[Babygirl_S]

It is probably the case in any western country as it worked for me. Men are embarrassed to date women with certain low paid jobs. Men look for women with a good career 🤷‍♀️

[Flower7]

In my country, most guys are broke. So dating women who are well-off seems to bring down their self-esteem.

[Babygirl_S]

Interesting to know that. Where are you from?

[Flower7]

USA.

[Flower7]

We are known for being a prosperous country, but it’s rare for adult men to even have their own place. Most of them can’t afford to support themselves and they have to live with other people.

[FilmGuy93]

Because it kind of doesn't matter; men don't look at women as a source of financial stability. Women with good jobs tend to be more confident, but that's the only part that men will generally care about.

[Babygirl_S]

Don't you think men are embarrassed to date women with jobs that don't pay well? I think it's true.

[FilmGuy93]

I haven't seen that to be true in my own life. Women see a different side of men though. So you might be right

[jasco]

It's not career, its money. Yes we want a woman who is at least working, we don't like dead beats either. We don't care enough about her money, we care more about other personal things

[DaveToo]

Women are no different than men when it comes to life goals. If a woman wishes to have a business career, then she should be admired for her tenacity.

[Hulk30]

it really dont because most women bein good women impresses men not their careers because most men generally ain't hypergamous in the same way most women are

[Anonymous]

Because most womens careers aren't even careers. Everyone says they have a career because it helps their fragile ego with a little confidence boost. But yeah, nobody is impressed with 90% of womens "career".

[dudeinohio]

I really don't care what her job is as long as she has one.

[Danny_dan92]

To an extent it kinda does tbh.

[roy_ricky09]

Thats not true these days.

[Anonymous]

That's because some Women have good jobs because they are Attractive same as Men.

[Babygirl_S]

Not all good jobs require a woman to look great.

[Opinion Owner]

Most don't require it but it does help them to be more successful.

[Babygirl_S]

There are plenty of good jobs where looks don't matter at all.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeh, I know there's heaps.

But usually Attractive People and Confident People are more successful.

[LegendaryIcon]

republicucks, likely say that

[EaterPeter]

Hypocrites or poor b******* don't know any better

[Faaie34]

Good question
