I chose no disagree because ambition doesn't always mean money and job and worthless shit. It could actually mean sex. She's looking for a guy that's ambitious and makes the first moves in the bed because she's too lazy to make the first moves to the bedroom. That's more so what I think it is because most women are pretty lazy in that category
I think most men make the first moves to the bedroom, no?
No, not with if you're with a good girl. I hear about Good Girls all the time making first moves. But, if you're in a rusty Dusty boring marriage, maybe you will be making the first move all the time as the guy. But, not if you got a good girl. That job is done equally between both parties. Because if you're the guy and you're always making the moves, then your sex life is going to get boring. She can add more spice than you can. She should share some of that space sometimes.
But yes in a rhetorical sense yes we do because women are lazy in the bed. That's why I won't really allow a woman on top. So, we have to spice it up because a woman is usually so boring yes so you're right we generally do make the first moves but we don't want to make the first moves all the time. That's how a relationship gets boring
It definitely can mean that, and more than likely does a lot of times, whenever a woman says that.. But, it can also mean that he is passionate about something.. Some that drives him.. A purpose.. Women love a man that seems like he has a purpose.. Or are "on their purpose".. Not lazy, and unfocused..
It doesn't necessarily mean they want a rich guy. Money is not sexually attractive in my opinion. Ambition is. Doing what you love and having pride in it. Depends on their passion. If it's cars, hunting or stocks/investing no thank you. Philosophy? Poetry? Arts? Gardening? Yes please! But the biggest turn-on is kindness. Emotional maturity. Being gentle and caring.
It usually means that she prioritizes and values money above all else. She will likely leave him if they have financial hardship in the future.
Agreed entirely
for me , personally , when i say that I like ambition , it means that even if he wasn't successful yet , or failed multiple times , he still has the ambition to continue doing what he wants to accomplish, it's the act of ambition and not the status of what ambition can get you to (i hope i explained this right )
Do me a favor. Write this down. Re-visit it when you're 30 or 40 and see if you still believe it.
I'm not criticizing anything you're saying. But you're idealistic in youth and idealism is replaced with realism as you age.
When I was young my goal was to retire a millionaire. I'm still on pace to achieve that. But I have less years to achieve that and so with each year i feel more pressure. Not everything in life goes according to "plan". And as you age dreams are replaced with harsher reality for most people. It's not that you stop trying or have less ambition you just realize not everyone can achieve what they sat out to do.
No that happens bc of your limiting beliefs around the goal u have
I'm not positive. I really think she means she wants someone with drive and success, which equates to money... the root of that being security. However, in some circles if they are religious, it's meaning and purpose... they want to do something meaningful with their lives and impact others. I've seen both although I'd say both were highly successful anyway.
I'd be curious of womens answers.
It's saying that she don't want to be with a no good lazy bum, who does, it's saying that she wants a better life for herself and her kids, it's saying she don't react to live paycheck to paycheck but live life on their terms, it has nothing to do with her being a gold digger or shallow, and I don't fault any woman making that statement,
Theh mean they want you to not be like them. 90% of women have given up on life before they turn 18. That's probably because it makes them more willing to be happy having kids. Hence women who just give up on their own ambitions reproduced more often. It was the 10% of women who had ambitions that have changed society and practically forced the majority of women to pretend like they care about bigger life issues than having kids. A man without ambitions isn't a man. We call it mankind and not woman kind because it is men who have typically dared to live life to the fullest.
I don't know.
But I think we need a movement of women not being interested in social status.
Agreed man... agreed.
DUHH!! 😆😆😆
How tf are you gonna feed your child? How are you gonna pay for her food when she’s pregnant and disabled?
With your Walmart Pay?
Stop Playing! 😆😆😆
Neither agree or disagree because if someone says ambitious you could also take them for their word and go by the actual definition of the word instead of reading between lines that aren't necessarily there. The other side of not knowing what a woman would mean, if they didn't mean it literally, is the fact that not all women think the same way.
That could be one of the reasons but it could also mean she’s attracted to someone who’s hard working and career oriented not necessarily a millionaire.
I think that is pretty much exactly what she is saying , her wish is Status.
Status is a goal only for the non-creative.
@TheSpaceGnome
Not ONLY non creative , so many crave affirmation in these times.
Creative people don't crave affirmation, we exist to break norms and defy culture, to drive society to fragment into individualism and weirdness so creativity can flourish. Followers and groupie collectors who promote herd mentalities are the worst kind of people in our eyes. We don't use the status quote machine, we throw a wrench into it on purpose and watch it fall apart. 😀
Something you gotta understand about us creatives is we are greedy, we crave so many things and experiences, that we create them because what already exists and is accepted, just isn't enough for us. People who want affirmation are people who aren't craving eccentricity, grandure, and the fantastical.
Simply put, our ideas matter more to us than people's opinions do, so having a high status is useless.
Or alternatively, the aim of being accepted is a roadblock on the road to being truly creative. It makes an artist cut away at their art, altering it outside of it's ideal form just to please the desires of others, and to any aspiring person, thats a form of mental suicide.
Women are wired to seek men for their resources. She wants an ambitious man because she wants access to his resources and thus improving her and her offspring's chances of survival.
Ambition could just mean he has goals in life. He wants to do something with himself. Not necessarily he has to have lots of money. I just want my guy to have plans for himself to be a better version of himself like I do.
Ambition is to women what boobs are to men. It is an instinctive code that says "this person will be able to take care of our babies."
It doesn't matter. Ignore what she says and just watch what she does. You may see women claiming they desire ambitious men... then you see them out with the local sloth...
it can be that he isn't doing video games 12 to 18 hours a day, not watching sports for ten hours a day on weekends, where he actually gets out and does something constructive around the house, or gets out and about and does things.
I means she's a fucking gold digger and wants a man that is willing to chase money all the way to hell if it means he'll get rich
What she wants is not to be with a guy who idles or plays video games excessively or refuses to try and better his situation.
