Do guys like girls that are very career focused? (Page 2)

[aguy12345]

I don't think it should be a problem. Personally, if the girl I was dating had 0 motivation I'd be a little turned off. Now does that mean I want someone who is on the phone checking emails while we are cuddling? no.
I think the important thing is balance. Like don't be a complete workaholic, but don't be a bum who doesn't have any motivation either. Does that make sense?

[cmale123]

When you tell you are careers oriented, it turn off to some guy. Behind every successful man there a women help him get there. As I experience dating I notice I need a women supportive to my career and care more me than herself

[MrAtticusLebowski]

What's your career? That might be the issue. I mean, if a girl told she was say a lawyer... id lose interest instantly.

[pooper89]

Most guys who would have a problem with it are looking for a motherly person and being highly career orientated doesn't fit that bill.

[Chico_brah]

Most of the times that's just an excuse for not being able to get a boyfriend. At least that's what I think when I hear a girl past 25 saying this. Having a good career and money is a huge plus in your dating value. It certainly won't hurt you.

[CisScum]

I think I would like an equilibrium honestly, as much as I like girls with good jobs and are passionate, at the same time I'd want her to have a lot of time for me as well and time to do other stuff.

[SinghSong]

Would you mind if I asked you exactly what your career is, to try and get an idea of why guys' body language typically takes a nose-dive when you tell them?

[CrazynKinky]

One who cares if he can't handle that you are focused on your career than they aren't worth your time.
Two. I've had plenty of guys interest and I've always been focused on my career

[El_Muffidore]

I wouldn't really feel intimidated. I'd be like a guy really into his job and not you. I'd hate for a girl to come home and think I'm just part of the furniture or something >_<

[FakeName123]

Not for relationships.

There is a difference between having a career and making it a very high priority.

[melmee16]

Marcel, can you send me a pm, I need to speak to you.

[damnwinter]

I really don't believe in these pattern-like standards... I think that when u fall in love with someone you learn to deal with them, not the other way around :) should not be a problem!

[WhereAmI]

Depends. If it's a constant thing where I'm taking a back seat to her career and she can't find a work/life balance then she isn't for me. I'm a professional too, but if our free time doesn't ever align then it's not going to work.

[red324]

Yes if you can balance a relationship and a career. Here's an example I went on a date with a girl who wants me to now wait until her school semester is over to go on another date. Like she can't take half a day and take a break from her studies?

[amphet11]

The only problem i would have with it, is i would think the women would have a problem with it. Women are biologically hypergamous and consciously or not they see richer men as a a better mate, and may try to "trade up".

[FemWorship]

Very much so = yes
those that don't are only interested in what you can share today with them, e. g. playtime, money, sex until it's all gone

[Nelsoen]

I'd appreciate a girl whose life doesn't revolve around me

[Theodorable]

I like girls who expect ME to be career focus. It's not that they're god diggers, but I don't wanna be with a woman who doesn't expect me to be the best I can be.

[Alistar]

I work with career women and have the greatest of respect for them in the professional sphere; but there's *no way* that I'd take any of them home.

[hollygoeslightly]

I think the right guy would not feel intimidated but proud

[Jnerdy97]

Contrary to popular belief I love girls who are career focused. It lets me know if we could have good family or not.
