on a separate note… has it been your experience that most women with successful careers are either single or lesbians?

Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
I am neither a lesbian and nor am I successful careerwise ![]()
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
sucessful women usually are exclusively into sucessful men - thus the not so sucessful concuct stories of lesbianism
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
I know many of married women with awesome careers both in my family and outside and they seem to have great career.
To me its all upto a person him/herself on how he/she makes his/her career.
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
Its an issue of priorities. Working women place work before family. After all that is why they are termed working women. A working woman and being married are not mutually exclusive. The question is can you find a partner who will be ok with you working 15 hours out of 24 and very rarely find time to be with eachother.
If that is not acceptible or does not work out why be married? Other than the tax benefits.
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
^ excuse me? I don't think so. Its up to the individual working woman if she places work over family or family over work. I've seen few women who put work over family, just as I've seen few men put work over family. I think most people realize that in the end, your family is what matters most. I don't think the prioritizing has much to do with the gender, actually. Its got more to do with pressures from a Western working society...like American work hours are just generally long and most people here tend to do overtime because they need to in order to have the life quality they want.
As for The question is can you find a partner who will be ok with you working 15 hours out of 24 and very rarely find time to be with eachother.
I'm sorry, but very few women do 15 hours out of 24. I don't think that's realistic. Maybe if you're a doctor-in-training and you're in your residency, but then you should be smart enough to not be married during that time period - or at least have a husband who is ok with the temporary nightmare.
Besides, a husband is at work from 9-5 on average anyway. So if a female goes to work from 9-5, I don't see how she's spending less time with him, since he's not at home anyway. At the same time, it keeps her busy, she spends less time gossipping and spreading mischief, she is productive, money is coming into the household, she has some spare cash to get what she wants so she doesn't bug you for that new gucci purse, the kids are at school anyway, she can clean on the weekends or in the evenings, etc.
Its a great lifestyle. I don't know why people are so against it.
Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
I agree with hiccup. I think career women expect more out of their men, and if you look at our desi population, its really hard to find men who are proffessionals or have a great career who are WILLING to have a wife that also works. Most proffesional men I know that are desi want someone to sit at home all day and do ghar ka kaam. As if career women can’t balance that.
Most of the girls I know that are in professional school are having a real tough time finding a good guy, although there are guys out there. But then, I think the girls I know tend to be more picky just in general.
If they just looked for someone who has a decent career and is okay with working women, they’d have great luck. But they have these silly expectations. Like his facial features, or his sisters, or that he seems fem.
I helped one of my friends who just finished med school to try to find a guy. That girl found something negative about everyone she was introduced to. Although the guys were awesome catches.
She met this guy who is in law school, and guess what the complaint was?
He talks like a girl.

So there is definitely more to the picture than what you think - which is why career women have tough luck at times. It just depends on how realistic you are.
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
Then PCG tell why so many working women are single? It may be a great life style and may help bring in the cash, but personally i put the well being of the family before the cash or money that is being brought in. Additionally what happens if you have kids. I am completely against the concept of having a nanny or having my "kids" come home to an empty house at the tender ages of 6 to 12. Call me old fashioned or narrow minded but when the kids come home they should have some to great them at the door ask about their day and fill them with confidence and joy. Only a mother can do that. No nanny or servant can do that.
Secondly tell me one job anywhere around the world which is 9 to 5. That may have been true in the 60s. Not anymore. Every job has over time. Every job has hiccups and problems. Every job has issues where you will leave the home. Secondly who takes care of the home, the shopping et al. when both are working?
One problem i have seen personally we desans who have lived abroad is that they want it all. They want a man that works hard and gets the cash and as well comes home early so they can spend quality together. If she wants to work she should. But he should be at her beck and call whenever she wants him. Personally its that education is not seen as necessity but rather as a mark of arrogance. Oh i have a BA and am working at UBS, now i need a husband who is built like a model, earns 200,000 more than me, has a yacth and vacations in aruba once a month.
Having an education and a job doesn't make you special. It makes you normal. Desans need to understand that.
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
oh and men find subordinates more attractive as longterm partners.
Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
I had always pictured myself with an ambitious career woman ![]()
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
i picture me with 2 hot desi lesbians... who turn bi for me. anyone ever seen desi lesbians? i've never had the pleasure.
i was talking about the gori successful career oriented women. who are vicious psychopaths and are often single or lesbians. and by successful i mean someone who has gone pass the glass ceiling in the mgmt chain.
now for the 18 yr olds here.. your middle school female teacher with a diploma in education after high school arent exactly living my idea of a successful career. sorry.
Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
Stirring the pot I see. The same can be said for career driven women. After all they want a good job. Good pay and they want to work. So who takes care of the house? If both the male and female have high power - career orientated jobs, the kids suffer as does the house. Not to mention how messed up the marriage situation is going to be.
The idea is not to fine someone lesser or better. The idea is to find an equal. Desi women do not realise that. They think they are the moon and the stars so they deserve the best life has to offer. That ain’t true. An educated woman is not special. She is normal and normal gets as normal deserves.
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
I think if a desi woman is educated and wants moon and stars they are acting normal. Who will take care of the house? Why not men? You want a job to make yourself feel revelant...is that it and make her feel lesser because you have a job and you make money. Women with aspirations and career is the best thing to happen to a society. Just look at Pakistan and USA.
The single women don't need men CM...do you know what's in their purse? ;)
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
where do you morons get the idea that kids suffer if parents work? Who puts these idiotic anachronistic view in your teeny tiny little heads? Working or not working has no effect on wellbeing and development of children.
It's a marriage not serfdom..
Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
Why be so bitter at mediocrity? Would a beautiful millionaire - highly sucessful, self made business woman (now 35) - who now has the luxury of working entirely to live and not living to work tick every box in your sucess list?
Welcome to my family and as an extention - female rolemodels. Wrinkles dont assure wisdom nor experiance as I am sure you are fully aware- having not had the pleasure.
Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
I am simply throwing in some ideas. it is intersting that you say an educated woman is normal. Normal in what sense? If you mean to say to be educated is now the norm - I agree.
however sucess is not the norm , if it were then the barometer for sucess would read differently and yes - a more able - better paid - ambitious class of peopel would exist. That is not the norm. Lets call it the “anti norm”. If normal is to normal - then is anti N to anti N.
However - many people do like the idea of a lesser educated, lesser paid spouse - it feeds their egos. Some poeple can not hack equality. Some even prefer to BE subordinates. They like to have someone to depend upon. Others like to be the supporter. Male female politics aside, you get all types in both camps.
But after all is said and done. who cares. There is always someone for everyone. And we all get what we deserve.
Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
Agree. Kids suffer when mom is home and chattering over the phone with another stay-at-home mom for hours while children watch some bollywood film for the 35th time.
Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
Agreed - however, I also think that children need to be with their mothers primarily for the first 4 years - mostly. Its the asumption that parents working neglect their children that leads to thus thinking.
Re: “He’s just not that into you!”
Read a few papers on child development and psychology. Not Dr. Schultz. Actual research papers. They say alot about confidence and the like on this matter.
Re: "He's just not that into you!"
Hiccup you basically answered my points. Having an education is normal. It is the norm. Being a desan and being educated is not a special prize or standard. It is what you have to gain. It is the basic rung of the ladder.
Secondly you said that both genders have those who need ego boosts. The females are getting more attention now. To classify one gender to have such a quality and the other not to is unrealistic.
