Don't Marry Career Women

[mcdivit85]

For me, I'm leary of "career women." Career women is a different category than a woman who has a career.

A career woman is the type who has more goals for her career than her personal life. Smiles more when describing her goal to be come a regional manager than a wife. A vice president more than a mother. The type of woman that can't put her Blackberry away because she needs to know which meeting notes she missed. The type of woman who cares more about what her boss says than what her husband says.

A woman who has a career is the type that works because she needs to, but she's not above being a stay at home mom if the right situation comes where her husband makes enough for them to live at the same level. She's more concerned with making sure her family eats a proper dinner every night than her PowerPoint presentation. She turns her Blackberry off after 6pm. And her boss is just the guy she reports to from 9 to 5, not some risque, crossing-the-line "work husband."

Personally, I stay away from career women. Besides what I mentioned, they just have a masculine vibe to me. I have no problem with a working woman, but women with that "my career comes first" vibe turn me off.

Peace

Get married to females with no education, ambition and no career goals brehs

NOTHING WRONG WITH MARRYING A CAREER WOMAN. THE PROBLEM IS MARRYING A CAREER WOMAN WITH GOALS THAT DON'T LINE UP WITH YOURS.

The key to all marriages is finding someone who has an ideal of marriage that lines up with yours. If you want kids make sure you marry a woman that wants kids. If family is important to you either marry someone willing to sacrifice career for it or be willing to do it yourself. As long as people talk and talk about this stuff early in the relationship and don't keep trying to make it work even though they have different goals they'll be okay.

My post is trolling or yours?

Nothing wrong with having a cleaning service come in if both couples are working. I know two couples that utitilze cleaning services. One owns a small townhouse and the other has a big ass house sitting on a few acres.

LOL
My post was a bit trolling.

Nothing wrong with a cleaning service. I mean I prefer to clean myself.
I just found it funny that the house is likely to be dirtier when the man and woman are never home because they're always working.

Well said. For me I know that a hard core career woman isn't for me. I wouldn't mind a woman that wants to work or whatever but I'm career-minded enough. Can't have someone else putting in crazy hours. I know that I need a woman more focused on taking care of the household.

The study is true in some respects but it is not specific enough. American women with higher incomes and degrees are more likely to get divorced than women who have average incomes and bachelor degrees. BUT they are much less likely to get divorced than poor women and women with only a high school diploma and no college education (www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/divorce.htm).

Not sure about the cheating statistic but generally statistics on cheating are completely unreliable because few people are actually honest about it.

And the dirty house thing . Lemme find out someone is divorcing because the house is dirty.

Do you think a career-minded male is any more beneficial to the family? You working crazy hours is taking away from quality time spent with your fam leaving your wife open to resentment, especially if children are involved. Career-minding people, regardless of gender, suck to be in relationships with.

 

[Uncle Kingpin]

You probably should because you damn sure won't be able to afford one if you do.

Ummm no. I can afford to have a maid and a butler if i wanted to. There is no good reason for any 2 adults to not be able to clean up after themselves. If I can clean up after myself, I expect my woman to as well. If we need a maid, I'll save a bunch of money on cleaning services by not getting married to a slob in the first place.

I don't have a problem dating a woman who loves her job and has a passion for it.
During the busy season of her industry, you have to accept that they might have longer hours.
But as a personal opinion on the side, I don't believe your job is your life.

 

[Wise]

I always expected if I were to have a wife she had a job. You know how much stress it is staying home all day?

Now those jobs where you're on your blackberry and in meetings 24/7 I can see, but a teacher, bank manager or something like that where you don't have to bring the work home that's cool.

Somebody got to bring in the money. My whole point is that a relationship would work best with someone whose strengths offset one another. I have no problem at all with a career-minded woman and have friends whose wives are the bread winners. I'm just saying a career-minded woman is not for ME. And it's still completely possible to put in a lot of hours and take care of home. A lot harder if your partner is putting in lots of hours too.

"Clean" is a very broad term so I'm not talking about putting your clothes in the hamper or washing the dishes. I'm talking windows, mopping, sweeping, swiffering...more thorough cleaning that you have to do regularly but can't because you may not have time. I clean on weekends (bathrooms, dusting vacuuming, laundry, etc) and I tell you right now when I get the money, I'm hiring someone to do most of that.
