The two aren't mutually exclusive, but I assume that by "extremely driven", you're assuming they're putting in a lot of extra hours?

Not just job wise but lifestyle
I assume the ambitous woman is a perfectionist as well?

The more ambitious she is, the less you will see of her. That could be a good thing, depending on what you want out of the relationship.

The first won't have much time for you. It can often times be a pointless relationship, unless you're just looking for sex once or twice a week.

The second actually wants to see you. Most people that are obsessed with their jobs are just brainwashed into thinking it is going to bring them some enormous happiness and amazing fortune. What is fortune when you don't have time to spend it?

I would rather date a girl with the 9-5, and you can be ambitious with that schedule as well. Many engineers work 9-5.

If I were rich, I'd ask my partner if she only wanted to work part time so we could have the perfectly happy gender roles of the past centuries before feminism struck. Take me back to the 50s

No. Ambition does not equal perfectionist.

Personally, I love a driven, ambitious woman.

I guess the 9-5 type. My girlfriend is hardworking but we'd both rather be playing at the lake or in the mountains than working. We both have a work to live mentality. Little is more unpleasant than being around people that are married to their careers.

Works for some people though. If I would've made it as a professional rider I would be married to my career I suppose. Haha

I wouldn't date anyone married to their career.

For myself, it didn't matter how ambitious she was, as long as she had her independence and wasn't smothering, needy, or demanding. BTW, both the 9-5 er and the highly ambitious career woman are more than capable of being needy and demanding.
