In a previous post I did mention that I consider my self Type B
I like to make things as easy as possible and keep stress to a minimum and concentrate on fun things.
I never was driven by anything I have some ambition but not to the extreme.
If anything I hate competition I find it annoying.

I was raised and spoiled by my family and always was relaxed and laid back even till today.
Some people however I spoken to not just dates but also some guys or people in general have a really big drive they rather be working their asses off to buy a BMW or start a business but don't believe in the idea of maybe playing soccer, having a beer at happy hour, watching a funny movie kicking back with popcorn or something like that which is what I prefer.

I always been relaxed I never had big career goals I just needed a decent job with a good work schedule that pays around 40k to 60k. Had goals to get a condo, buy an economic and save up money for any else extra or an emergency

Never needed like big ol BMWs going to Vegas every weekend or sail a cruise.

Thats just not me I don't really need big fancy stuff.

Now with people extremely ambitious like a boss I used to have or someone I dated or some friends were like

If you are not working long hours you are not working hard enough
or
Climb the corporate ladder don't you want to take over the company one day buy a mansion get promoted and be ready for big challenges and responsibilities
or
a woman one time she expected extreme intellectual conversation like was even strict about grammar or punctuation and topics she had an obsession with work and her big goals and topics like well having 3 kids owning 6 houses and getting an 100K job. Totally didnt get along I wanted to talk about her family, background and if she was up to do something romantic and lovely, nope business this money that and can't sleep busted all nighters and don't have time



So yea it seems relaxed laid back people can't get along with too extreme driven people weather you are looking to be friends with them or date. Maybe be friends but definitely they will not be on my first call list to plan a fun weekend.

So what do you guys think?
Question here is
Do you think calm relaxed people can get along with extreme ambitious people or not?

Yes cause us Type B people can be an anchor for flighty people and actually we are the best romantics choices for those types. We keep a person like that grounded and also point out realistic observations to them and help them be more slow and steady when the situation calls for it. Type A s complement us by helping us be more assertive when necessary be more adventurous and help life not be so predictable and keep us from sulking .

Different strokes as they say for different folks; same as its always been. No; I think most people who are active and ambitious tend to hangout with similar people with same interest in life be it on or off job.

I don't consider myself type A but if type B wants comfort but is not overly ambitious I guess that's a pretty good fit. I would think type A people would be driven crazy by type B people. Stress is their lifeblood

I think the other way around is harder. the ambitious person is not going to be into the type B person.
