Why do men dislike career women?

Question

D_Bone_Steak · Accepted Answer

Hmmm... Why is she a career woman? That is my question. The answer to that question is probably going to answer your question. My wife is a career woman, and I enjoy the lifestyle of not working and just chilling every day doing whatever the fuck I wanna do. She makes the money. I serve my role... someone has to be at home with my autistic child. Her job is just a thing she does to take care of us.

But we're not thinking about women like her are we? No we're talking about a woman that is acting like a man, saying she don't need no man, and rejecting men that don't do what she does and does it even better than her. Those women deserve to be single. They show up all the time complaining about not being able to find a man, but talk to her about finding a guy with no job since she has the job... crickets. She can't let go of her hypergamy.

What did she expect? Her list of what an ideal man for her is, EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS, but only better. She became the man. Instead of changing her standards and accepting a man that is just like a lot of women out there with a man that fits her life choices, she's going to just be confused as to why nobody wants shit to do with her.

She's not disliked... she just doesn't like her choices. The man she wants is rare and few and far between, and that man probably doesn't want anything to do with her ass. That man wants to go home to a woman that made him dinner and did his laundry because he was busy at work. Why would that man work that hard just to come home to some bitch that complains that he left his clothes on the floor, provides no money to anyone but herself, is amped up from working all day herself, and expects him to do all the house chores? Why would he want that? Why would he want that when he could have that other woman and pay the same price that's going to get paid for having a woman at all? Why?

Career women are not disliked. Career women just dislike their choices. They want a traditional man, but they're not traditional themselves. If they could think outside of the box and date a dumb cute guy that can't figure out how to work, she would be living the dream. Her stupid career would make sense. She'd be coming home to a hot guy that was lifting weights all day, and made food, did her laundry, and will dick her down like a real porno star. She's extremely selfish though, and the Gods will bless her with cats and/or small dogs and boxed wine. She will learn to flick the bean and pump herself with a dildo because that's all the action she's going to get long term.

Dated a career women for 2.5 years.

She traveled a lot for work, had a lot of meetings very late hours. It was to the point just to see her I had to fit into her schedule.

Between her working, going to the gym and taking care of her mom, she had no free time.

She was older than me, I'm 30, she is 45F Jamaican. Very independent.

It felt like I was only going over to sleep, have wine and have sex and just be her "boytoy" then would get up at 3am for her to go to her second job.

I work early in the morning, I start at 3:45am and get off at 5pm. I work as a union linemen ( I work on powerlines). Very high up on the air. Some of the jobs i'm on; im over 400 feet in the air. Me ex got pissed constantly when I wouldn't spend the night at her house during the week and only wanted to spend the night during the weekends.

She then said i was no longer allowed to spend the nights with her because she also works early and will not "sacrifice" her sleep since I'm not willing to sacrifice my sleep.

My ex worked from 8:30am-5pm. Most days should would be working longer. 8pm-10pm. Her job went remote due to covid. She works on the computer all day doing zoom calls and meetings. Setting up conferences etc.

When she's away on her work trips she doesn't really respond to text messages from 5am when she wakes up to 11pm when she gets back to the room. At seminars, speeches, talking to members, dinners etc.

I was constantly looked down upon because I'm an hourly employee who just recently got a new job where she has been with her company for almost 20 years. She has seniority to take days off whenever she wants.

Since she travels for work, she will not go on vacations or sleep at a hotel if it is not an all inclusive or if it's under a 4/5 star rating. With the salary I'm currently making I couldn't afford that at all since I'm only am apprentice making $18/hr. She was making well over six figures.

Breaking point for me was she wanted to take a trip and was disappointed that I couldn't afford the trip due to starting a new job and not having enough PTO/ Vacation time.

She ended up going on a last minute girls trip for her birthday to Mexico for a week. She had mentioned it in February and March with no plans set up until very last minute.

When I saw here when she got back she immediately threw it into my face and asked why I hadn't planned anything for her birthday. I told her she decided to go on a girls trip for her birthday.

I don't think guys dislike "career women" but snooty, "high voluting" women who feel they're above everything and entitled to do whatever they like whenever they like. The world doesn't work that way...

Much better to be a reasonable, logical career woman... smart but not show-off.

Account · Accepted Answer

Because certain men don't like it when the other person does not need them. It is a control thing.  They want to mold her into the idea they have regarding how a woman should be.

MisterWack · Answer

Not me. Women choose what they want / what they need to do, idc. We need to start caring less and these guys need to grow up & mind their own damn business, I’d say the same if the genders were swapped.

Finchie40 · Answer

Probably the ones that only care about themselves , that walk around saying I need No Man lol, Me personally prefers a career woman that has her shit together that wants to find a partner that she stays loyal and faithful to , that chooses me the same way I choose her. Her and I work as a team by having each others’ backs. Shit happens in life to pretty much everyone , so finding a girl that has her shit together and wants to find a partner that works with her and not against her is a girl I would be attracted to and faithful to if she treats me the same way. I can’t stand users and mooches , they only care about themselves and no one else , they are usually selfish people that don’t know the foundations of a relationship, they only want things their way , they will be nice to you until something bad happens and then everything is your fault , you are to blame for things not going right, they never point fingers at themselves first , they immediately point fingers at their partner to blame. I had my fair share of selfish girls’ and that’s why they are my ex , I will not stay with a girl that is trying to use me and mooch off of me , I will kick her to the curb where she belongs

imtiaz45 · Answer

Some men may feel threatened by career women due to traditional gender roles that view men as primary breadwinners. This discomfort can stem from insecurities about their own status, competitiveness, or fear of diminished control in relationships. Societal norms often pressure men to maintain dominance, making them uncomfortable with women who are ambitious or successful. However, it's important to note that not all men feel this way, and attitudes are evolving as more men support and embrace gender equality in both professional and personal spheres. Individual preferences vary, and societal attitudes continue to shift towards more equal partnerships.

RavVid · Answer

i don't think it extends to dislike. We might just not see a career woman. We "see" women we find attractive and block out the others. Any number of men will tell you that what you do doesn't matter to them. It is what value you offer us that is important.

Women do value status and money in a man but we don't in inverse. A career woman s on the same level playing field as a broke waitress. I could easily find the waitress offers better value to me.

What offers value are the traditional feminine virtues.

Anonymous · Answer

Okay…. Do you mean as people or romantically. Not all men are the same and neither are all women. As far as relationships go some men are looking for different things so are women, that’s not personal.

I do like career women just not feminists.

The men who are genuinely judgmental and think they control women they don’t even know. Most of those men find a pathetic woman who sleeps with the jobless 20 year old next door who mows the lawn for 50 bucks. I feel sorry for men like that. Not that all stay at home moms do they sone are amazing people.

Most men want a family, kids, marriage, etc. But to say you’d like a housewife, a girl who stays home, takes care of the kids, etc, is labeled as misogynistic by women among a lot of other words used to shame men. So men don’t express their preferences. Women who tend to be career oriented are usually masculine. Yes I know some women are like that because of growing up w out a father so they had to take that roll on to survive. But regardless a lot of men don’t like that. A girl’s career, her finances don’t benefit a majority of men. Women are usually raised w the mentality that his money is our money, my money is my money. Men get a raise they tend to look at it as being able to provide more for their family. A lot of women don’t. They look at it as independence from men. Most women aren’t going to take on a man who makes less. They’re not going to pay a majority or all of the bills. A man will definitely take on a girl who makes way less than him, even pay all the bills.

BetaBucks · Answer

Personally, because I want a woman to prioritize the kids over her job. My wife's job allows her to do that. Meanwhile I can be the work horse who provides the better income. Even then, I still prioritize the kids, but obviously not as much as my wife can.

bobalife · Answer

at least not any men I've encountered in my state, they value women choices, rights, thoughts, and goals. I actually meet more men who want a woman who has goals and career driven as partnership while balancing having a family or at least just in their relationship.

Levin · Answer

I like feminine women. A woman's role is to be soft and nurturing. In order to succeed in the world, depending on your field, you often have to take on board masculine qualities. This is not attractive to me.

Most things are about balance. And these days in most cases the woman realistically has to work in some form. There is probably some middle ground.

V_Injector · Answer

Can I reverse this question and just ask you why I should like a career woman?

I'm gonna get money?

She gonna stay fit?

What is she going to bring to me?

Or am I gonna end up busting heads with a boss bitch that just wants to dominate me and she also just wants to take all my money because I guess that's what it's all really about?

TL;DR What is she going to offer me? A headache or relaxation?

Sonorous · Answer

Umm... I'm not sure that most men dislike career women for being career women. Based on what I've heard, most men simply dislike what women turn into when they become career women. They may act in ways that are less feminine because of their new positions of power.

ManOnFire · Answer

Men dislike the career women who are gung ho on feminism, and the entitled ones who get on dating apps looking for men who make double or triple what they make, or thinking they deserve a top notch guy just because she has a degree.

Apart from those, most men don't have issues with your average career woman.

RebelinSteel · Answer

They don’t, or rather in the real world they don’t. Having someone that can help pay for a £500,000 house really is a big thing.
Dating someone without career aspirations, about wanting to be successful in life would be weird to me. It would mean I need to earn more, work more, etc.

Lliam · Answer

I don't. Every one of my girlfriends and my wife had good jobs or careers, and were self sufficient. They wanted a partner, not someone to come along and support them.

I like women who are smart, motivated, capable, self-disciplined, and who know about the realities of life.
I have no interest in shy, inexperienced daddy's girls, spoiled princesses, slackers, or high-maintenance gold diggers who trade sex for financial security.

tzdc21 · Answer

They dislike the attitudes of a career woman. You see the career is fine, but the thing is, in order to get said career, you have to be assertive, non compliant, and stubborn. And those traits don't just turn on and off, and those traits are turn offs for guys because it leads to her nagging us, always arguing and never being compliant, and always just competing. That attitude is a nightmare.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

You mean traditional men. It's simple, because they also want traditional women. Those career women better look for modern men who wouldn't mind them being career women but they instead look for those traditional men who they hope who can still be their providers despite having a career of their own.

DtMe89 · Answer

They think women belong in the kitchen

If my mom wasn't working right now, we'd be screwed. We owe the IRS a lot of money, due to my dad being laid off 3 times in 4 years, me not having been working, and her barely working

So, fuck republicans

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

I don't dislike them but they aren't my type, i mean ofc a woman should work before marriage even if she adores becoming a housewife but after marriage if her husband is financially capable and he offered her to become a housewife than why not?

Anonymous · Answer

Because they aren't mother material. Its not that i dislike career women, its that they aren't wife material and not on my radar. Additionally career women 9 times out of 10 are insufferable, and engage in things like office clicking, politics, drama, and back stabbing, which is simply something that rarely happens with career men.

Anonymous · Answer

Because they are more likely to divorce, they are more likely not going to care about having kids and having motherly qualities, she’s going to be in her own world all the time. I’m fine if a woman or girl has her own life and her own job, but females take their job wayyyy too seriously. A guy or man could dedicated to his job but he’ll still make time for her and balance his life. Not saying all men do this but men have worked and provided and loved his family.

getpucksin · Answer

There's a difference between having a career and not having a life outside of it. "Career women" usually make their entire life about their job. That's boring as fuck and nobody wants to date somebody without a life or real hobbies.

rienna888 · Answer

Because they don’t get to spend as much time with them, and everyone gets jealous. Like if your partner makes more, yeah you’re happy for them but can’t help but feel a bit jealous. As in, will they have contact with another person more

Yannae · Answer

Could be less quality time with the partner because of the job, could be the feminism going (I don't need a man! Strong and independent!), could be that we want a family and have the mother stay home to look after the kids.

exitseven · Answer

They are obsessed with their jobs and careers and are incapable of having a satisfying relationship.

For me honestly some people who become career people can be stuck up about. I don't mind career women, after all I am getting into that felid just like they are. However just because you have money doesn't give you free reign to be an asshole

alice55 · Answer

Because they have weak ego and want to be the priority but once they get bored other they won't think twice about leaving her in deep shit

HighlyQuestionable · Answer

My first impulse was to say they have gender-relations issues or are jealous, but another thought comes to mind: are they afraid the two of you won't have another time to spend together?

Pohjolan · Answer

Its not that men dislike career women but its kind of meh and career women usually desire men who are financially well off and thus have competition from other women.

Basically some are playing in a high tier with a low tier build.

For the same reason many women shun men who dress in drag.

They don't dislike them, they just don't care for them. Much in the same way women don't care if men have extensive shoe collections. It doesn't benefit me in anyway so why should I care.
