Why Ambitious Women Get Rejected More ft Stefanie O'Connell
Can ambition ruin a relationship? Matchmaker Maria sits down with author and journalist Stefanie O'Connell to unpack why ambitious women are still being labeled "too much" in dating, work, and marriage. They discuss the research behind men pulling away when women out-earn them, why women still do more household labor even when they make more money, and how "provider mentality" can sometimes really mean control. Maria also shares what she's seeing in modern dating, from men wanting "ambitious women" until they actually meet one, to the rise of trad wife content and 27-year-olds panicking over finding a husband. Plus, they answer a listener question from a NYC finance executive whose boyfriend admitted he was intimidated by her career success.
