Money?!!
Re: Workaholic women?
financial stability and the knowledge that someone has his back just incase something happens to him or his job.
i hear that kinda peace of mind is top rated amongst men.
Re: Workaholic women?
If the man married (what did you call them - oh yes) the "workaholic woman" then obviously he liked that quality in her to begin with. Some men are really attracted to super independent woman.
Re: Workaholic women?
U said it nj... The men im surrounded by get a high talking to a career driven woman. Such men actually LISTEN to what a woman is saying rather than imagining a monkey play the drums in their heads.
Such a breath of fresh air from the usual "mujhay roti khilanay wali aur kapre dhonay wali biwi chahiye" kinda men.

I have a friend who's husband is an ivy league grad.
Soon after having a child she rejoined the workforce and got a nanny to take care of her kid. Lots of people gave her heat for that.
After she went back to work, her husband got diagnosed with a life threatening illness. No warning. Perfectly healthy guy.
She now runs the house - alone. If it weren't for her job, there would have been no insurance to pay for his treatment, medical bills and future expenses including her son's health insurance.
Her husband was the one who pushed her to go to school when they first got married and made her finish. If he hadn't done that and kept her home...where would they be right now?
I am really proud of her and how she's handled this at such a young age.
I am not saying go marry a workaholic. Usually before people get married, they're all workaholics because there's nothing else to do. But do marry someone who has ambition and wants to do something with her life.

This. I'd want to marry someone who has aspirations, but is willing to compromise when it comes to raising the kids. Besides, once the kids reach a certain age she should have something that keeps her busy.

you did not mean to ask Shopaholic, did you?
Re: Workaholic women?
I think a woman who can balance her responsibilities at home with a career is nothing short of a goddess with copious amounts of sex appeal.
She can really put food on the table.

I admire women generally who has ambition and do something with her life. My mom once asked me what kinda girl ya want to marry. So i told her..looking for someone who is ambitious and passionate about her life as i am. She asked me why...i told her.. today woman needs to be much educated and experienced as men..coz say for instance Xtron doesn't live long enough..she can at least make her life comfy knowing she can take care of herself.
Re: Workaholic women?
hey xtron, you dont need to think like that. :pcg:
Re: Workaholic women?
workaholics are usually frustrated. frustration leads to some interesting experiences.
you do the math.
:halo:
Some men are dense.
Re: Workaholic women?
I think you have all the definitions mixed up. A career oriented person might not be a workaholic and vice versa. Workaholic is someone who enjoys working to the extent of being addictive to it.
I am a workaholic and my average day is 13-14 hours in office a couple of hours in commuting and 2-3 hours at home corresponding to client’s emails and no surprise, I am still single.
To answer your question, if a workaholic career oriented female can be a good wife. Sure they can. I am not sure in general what guys are looking for out of a marriage anyway, except for a wife and kids 
Re: Workaholic women?
No i think thaat only a woman in kitchen makes a good wife.
Re: Workaholic women?
Most women dont like my views , but having had a successful career, I realized in time that I dont want to be a man and a woman at the same time , all through my life.
I continued working after marriage for a while, but soon realized I am handling a very hectic job, plus keeping home and focusing on family .. both demanding equal efficiency. At which point I decided to prioritise home and family .. initially finance was an issue since we were too used to a certain lifestyle.. but then with time we learnt to manage our finances in a good way without letting our lifestyle getting affected.
In short, raising kids is a full time responsiblity. running a home is a highly challenging task . I dislike men who consider a working independent woman to be a degree higher then a housewife. I fail to understand why a woman is expected to be perfect in every aspect of life. While men can gain all the recognition in the world by just having a strong career.
An educated, sophisticated woman should be perfect material for marriage rather then gauging her on her career building and money making ability.
By nature and religion, Men are the breadwinners and they are given the status and responsibility of being the head of their family .. they are expected to help around the household but its never expected of them to manage both work and home to the same level of efficiency, similarly should be the case with women. But unfortunately women have been exploited to such a level that they dont feel their success in homemaking , rather they are seen to be put down on those skills and forced to consider themselves successful if they are being a man and a woman at the same time to equal levels of efficiency !!
