Didn't we just have a thread like this recently? Seems like a lot of job snobs out there. Shooting down a potential mate just because they don't have the social status that all of the CEOs here on CD have seems pretty shallow. It's like somehow if a person has a menial, blue collar job that they're somehow less of a person than say the douchebag exec at Taco Bell who ***** slapped the Uber driver the other day. Job status doesn't buy you class or character.

These two would not go hand in hand, so it is a moot point.
If the person is jumping from job to job ,there is a problem ,it's called getting along and patience and forgiveness.
No matter how hot she is in some ways , if she is hot headed at work, very likely hot headed at home.
The type of job might matter if she is a supervisor or management ,no, not even interested .Friends yes ,
Some one accustomed to working as a team, YES .
IMO , women that are driven to success have that drive to run every thing at home as well , and that's fine for some men .
That need a mother. not meant as an insult ,some men thrive on being mothered and some women love mothering their man.
I have work quite well under many women supervisors , it doesn't bother me , they are the responsible party upper management are watching.
On the other hand a woman with no management skills at all, do not manage children very well either.
So it's a balance . IMO
So there has been some question as to whether men care as much that a woman be successful as a man or not. So here is my question:
Say you met a truly gorgeous smart, intelligent funny woman, but she worked, say, at McDonald's flipping burgers and she had absolutely no desire to ever get anything better, would you stay or go?
I make enough to support a two person household comfortably, so I would not mind if the woman half had a menial job or no job. If a woman is sweet, trustworthy (biggie) and is a good person, who cares.
That was my thought. If she's that intelligent, why is she working at McDonald's with no ambition to do better?
Does one that even if they are intelligent always have to equal being super ambitious looking for big money? Perhaps someone is intelligent but doesn't want the added pressure of what "having more ambition" would bring. Reminds me of the episode of House where there's a super intelligent guy that accomplished a lot but hated it so he purposely tried to numb his intelligence and got a job working as a delivery man.
Personally it wouldn't matter to me. In fact being more of a loner I'd prefer it. Probably means she's okay with just chilling around the house and is very easy going as opposed to a career woman that is always gone and working.

No one said anything about being ambitious and looking for big money, did they? There is a HUGE gulf between flipping burgers and being a power executive.
I just know the people I connect with wouldn't be mentally satisfied with that type of work. Even those that have passions that are bigger than their work (often artistic) wouldn't be satisfied with THAT type of menial labor.
As long as they are able to support themsleves outside of others help, have a drive in life and still had things in common that kept my interests up...sure.
I would prefer a well rounded indivual over someone stuck on either end of the spectrum.
