Ambition and some women?

Question

Why do women seek a man with ambition? Everyone has it in a way so that is lame to me. Not everyone can have the 6 figure job. Society has slots and a certain number of people get the high paying jobs. I think some women are looking at the wrong qualities in men now and days. Instead of the ambition thing look at how he treats you. Anyone can be motivated but not everyone treat others with respect unless they change which takes a long time for most.

Answer 1

This is usually in comparison to a man who sits on his a-ss all day while his mom brings him bowls of Doritos.

Answer 2

SOME women want a man with ambition for money or status. Other women, especially if they are ambitious themselves, want a man who is motivated because they find such men more interesting. Anyone CAN be motivated but not everyone IS. I couldn't think of anything more boring than having a relationship with a man who had no interest to improve himself. This to me is what ambition is about - not about getting a 6 figure salary but about an ongoing quest to improve oneself and experience new things, whether that is learning a new language, jumping out of a plane, travelling to new countries, having kids or discovering a new insect species.

Answer 3

Because men content to live with their mothers into their 30's and eat off the dollar menu at McD's every day are quite possibly the least interesting human beings alive. What do they have to talk about? What was on TV that day, what their alcoholic friend Chris did at the party last week, how much money they found in the lint trap, and their exciting job down at Applebees. They also tend to treat their wives-girlfriends like their replacement mother.

Answer 4

You're mistaking "ambition" with "wealth".  Ambition is the desire to do better or succeed.  This doesn't necessarily mean a six figure salary.  Most women use ambition to mean a man who actually has a job at all.  :)

Answer 5

Ambition does not equal "wealth." I don't care if he does unpaid volunteer work, I just want him to be passionate about something and not play video games all day.

Answer 6

Because society brain washes people into believing that haveing 'a career' , working as many hours as possible and having lots of money is 'what you want'. It's just a ploy to generate more money for the government.

I'd ratehr be with someone like myself who works the least amount of hours, has enough money to live but can spend all my time having fun and learning, being with my family.

When I get to the gtes of heaven I don't want to have wasted it working.

Answer 7

Women are seeking security.  When a man is ambitious it trickles down into a comfortable life for them.  Why strive and kill yourself supporting a man, when he can ably support you?  That is the philosophy.  These women are not wrong-- they are reaching high, and even if they fall short a little, they will be able to have someone who can support them.  And yes, love  and good treatment are always essential.  But, I ask you the question-- "How about those who manage to find ambition and good treatment all in one hunk of a  package?
