I've already read the article—and hopefully, most men agree with it's message.

I think women should read this article too. I wonder how people are happy coasting through life with no real interests.

She also sounds incredibly boooring.

Imagine the societal impact it would have if most men adopt this mindset.

Yop. As example it would become stupid, to complain all the time about the evil feministic woman, that try to gain good education and jobs, to share the benefit they receive from that, equally with their partners. ^^

Yeah, and professional gold diggers would have a very hard time to survive.

you do realise that this article is saying that men are basically just interested in sex, not the person they are having it with?

No, the article is saying that men don't care about women's success/ambition in life, know the difference, and those men should start caring.

I couldn't help but keep thinking of this while I was reading the article, even if they are "successful" and "ambitious":

I think I lost half my brain cells watching it

Good article, but it does seem to focus on professional success. Nothing wrong with that, but I wonder about friction developing when two type A and career oriented people are paired up.

The ending argument is odd-go ahead and nit pick yourself out of the dating pool? Some compromise is necessary, and a good quality. I think that's taking the message off the deep end.

I've had a think about this a bit more. I too think this is a bit too business oriented. Although it is from a business blog, but not everyone wants to be successful in business. Some people, like me, don't have a business brain.

Should we really be "judging" people on their commercial success?

Do you mean like, "Does he have a job?", "How much does he make?", and "How much is he willing to spend?" ... that kind of judgment?

I have adopted it, and I know many men who indirectly have as well; they're just not used to labelling unsuccessful women as losers the very same way they label unsuccessful men as such.
