Why should I ever trust a woman again when she says she wants "ambition"?
That's just code word for beta bucks.
Don't get me wrong, I completely understand, and sympathize with, "female instinct" as you might call it.
You have a womb, you want babies, you need a man who can take care of you while you're busy taking care of them. This all makes sense. And I do NOT hate women for doing this.
But why shouldn't I see it as a red flag when a woman wants ambition when she'll fuck or date some other guy for years for free? But when I get into the relationship with her suddenly my job matters? I made decent money til I got laid off, and even that wasn't enough. I needed to make more money or be dumped. So I was betabux. So there was nothing to enjoy about my presence. I'm so sick of this biological clock bullshit guilt complex pushed on me about children I cannot afford to have. Frankly if a woman mentions my "ambition" then I know she is not attracted to me, in looks or personality or aura.

You can call this cope, but I have plenty of ambition. I just never told those women about it because half of it was non financial creative ambition (major ick!) and the other half I was still figuring out. But frankly I don't see why I shouldn't try to find a real true long term partner now, as I am unemployed and changing careers. I have money, I'm not broke, but if a woman were to see me unemployed and still choose me, then I could trust her truly and actually build toward a future with her.
