How do you spot a career driven woman? Well most likely if you are walking along a busy high street day or night you will come across a certain kind of woman who will not only have a fiercely tenacious look of determination but will also be carrying herself with grace and elegance whilst she balances her iPhone against one ear and carries her briefcase or books in one hand and a large cup of coffee in the other. Whether it be finishing our degree or embarking on a new career path, us sciptoeris women shouldn’t let out determination for success be waivered by a man.
Even in this day and age the boys or better yet still the men we date can’t seem to handle the strong character of us women who know what we want and won’t stop at anything to get it. And I really begin to question why any of my previous relationships couldn’t have withstood the test of time that true love has the power to do. Was It just that whilst I was busy focused on my studies and hence my future, I had neglected the duty of caring for my one true love? Yes it is true that we need to compromise in relationships’, after all if you always have your head in a book or your mind in the office, how can you expect to have your heart with someone else.
However I think it may be time to reassess ladies, naturally as women we are expected to want to splurge time and energy into being romantic and soppy for our partner but does the male side of this partnership receive the same kind of pressures as we do. Well, the answer, plain and simple is no they don’t. A successful man who has his mind focused on his goals can only be held up as a shining example to other career driven men. And if they have slightly abandoned making time for their loved one, well it’s all in the name of success right? But what about in the name of love?
I think it’s time to trample all over these pre-conceived ideas of how the modern day career driven woman should be in a relationship. Instead of us fitting around our stressed out and over worked boyfriends let’s just be clear on what we expect after a hard day planning our future success.
1) We don’t take any nonsense
Yes take note, we won’t be waiting hours for your text or phone call at the end of the day, if you want to play games I’m afraid we just don’t have time. Our ambition is not something to be played with after all. After a long day at the library or the office the last thing we need is a constant string of unanswered text messages demanding to know when we are home for dinner.
2) No rest for the mentally driven.
Its undeniable fact that when there is a deadline to meet working all day into the night is something we do without hesitation.
Our late nights can transcend into a delirium of too much coffee and not enough sleep but we make this sacrifice to complete our work. After all, us scriptoeris ladies know that in or der to be the best, its all about dedication to hard work.
3) Multi-tasking is instinctive.
Without a doubt we all know that women have the art of multi-tasking down to a tee. We can spend a day hard at work, meet up with our friend for lunch and still have time to skype our family before bed. We don’t have an issue with fitting into our day all the things we want too because they matter to us.
4) We do like to have some down time.
Although our minds might always be set on our personal goals and how we are going to achieve them, we do prioritise time to just sit back on the sofa with you and watch a film in our Pjs.
5) We may seem indestructible but we have our weak moments too.
Sometimes everyone needs to have a vent- cry or shout, just to express how we feel. We might seem preoccupied with ourselves but really we want someone to share our fears and concerns with just like everyone else.
