Anyone else find that men are anxious, because of your job and being away most of the week? My ex was very needy/insecure, the more I settled into work. Running into same thing now as I date again.

No, not all men are anxious, needy and unable to handle my job.

Some are, but others won’t be. I’ve noticed that if they’ve also been a consultant then they understand the travel and aren’t as needy. Shockingly, medical residents have been the neediest in my experience.

All the guys I’ve tried getting to know this year dislike my consulting job. I honestly don’t know how to get men to accept that I’m busier than them and that’s ok.

Age mattered for me. In my 20s/early 30s this was an issue. Now dating guys in my early 40s who are 35-45, I find that they enjoy that I like my job and do my thing, and are super excited to spend time together when we can.

Other thing I let go of was my own type A, caretaker vibe. I assume the men I date are secure adults, which has led to me attracting secure adults. Such a fantastic difference!

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
