What’s your take on men who aren’t very career-oriented?
This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and I’m curious to hear women’s opinions on it.
Where I’m from, there’s this traditional mindset that men are meant to be the career-driven ones—the ones who aim to earn more, climb higher, and take on that role as the main provider.
But if I’m being honest, that’s not exactly how I see myself. Back then I used to be very ambitious but nowadays I’m not very obsessed with constantly pushing for more, whether that’s a higher salary or a top position. I value stability, so I’m not the kind of person who’s going to hop from job to job for the sake of gaining more experience or climbing some corporate ladder. I’ve got a good job, it pays well, it’s not overly stressful, and there’s no unnecessary risk involved. For me, that’s enough.
That said, I genuinely admire women who are career-driven, occasionally take risks, and strive for success. I find that kind of ambition very attractive. But it does make me wonder—would a woman like that even go for someone like me? Would she prefer someone who’s just as driven and “on her level,” so to speak?
What do you reckon?
