I voted other. It depends from his character. It is not intimidating for me, but I would worry that there is too much competition from other girls for him.
That's why I prefer guys who are successful but somewhat introverted and most importantly if he has character and integrity.
I would be extremely attracted to someone who was obsessed with his career, it means he has no time to lose, and even if he "ignored me" sometimes, I would support him, as long as he was loyal.
But I wouldn't be with a man only because of the fact that he is very successful. I would be with him only if I was compatible with him.
Unless I am using this guy as an inspiration for my own success, I’m not really affected. Certainly not intimidated. If they are far more successful than I am, I would probably move in different circles and never deal with them socially anyway.
Still. Someone else’s success is their own, there is no reason to be intimidated. If you’re bothered by it, maybe work on your own. Well, unless they are a mafia boss. Then okay. I’d be just a wee bit intimidated. Maybe more. Lol.
Oops forgot the dating part - so I would probably become inspired to work harder and excel more at my own work if my partner suddenly made it big. It is possible that they may move on as well, and wish for a partner at their own success level. I’d try to make it work if I really liked them, but I often see it with celebrities who suddenly ditch their partners. It happens.
I wouldn't call it intimidating. Obsessions aren't always healthy tbh, unless he is well-balanced in every other aspect in life including dating and doting on you.
I would like to know what the inspiration and motivation behind his continuous success. Or, it could just be a stroke of luck.
I wouldn't be intimidated. Maybe a little in awe of him and his drive a little. Not to sound lazy, but people with exceptional drive like that are inspiring.
I would certainly support him throughout. I don't think my goal would be to compete or keep up with him specifically, but I would certainly want to be valued. Either with my own endeavors or by supporting him and making his life easier at home. Both would be ideal.
Now I haven't been in the situation, so it's hard to say and each situation is different.
But I imagine if I was dating him through it, then I would most likely also have supported him and encouraged him.
And it's not like it's happening overnight. So I don't think it would be intimidating, as I would have been there with him through it.
I would be proud of him.
What you describe is unattractive to me. Keeping a level head and valuing those around him more than his possessions. Making time for people in his life. That’s much more attractive than his money or career. You can’t take things with you.
I second this.
It's good to have ambitions and strive to do better. But remain humble. I hate the arrogance that can sometimes follow and the lack of humility in remembering where you came from, looking down on others as a consequence.
Pisses me right off!
Intimidating?
No. But if he's "obsessed" then he clearly isn't at the point where he should be in a relationship. & that's okay. So i wouldn't be dating him.
I don’t see why that would be intimidating? Like would you want to share why? If we’re dating I’d be happy he isn’t a bum.
Honestly I don't care, as long as he doesn't block my way.
No it's not, finally someone who can maybe keep up with my future plans
Really depends on the guy and how he handles success
