I can’t believe you didn’t put down “must do his share of the chores.” I guess if you have enough money, then you can hire a housekeeper, but this is probably the most important and underlooked quantity in a partner for an ambitious woman.

I would also add “must have their shit together emotionally” though in a way, someone who is secure enough to take you as you are, to not be threatened by your profession, to be willing to consider polyamory (is that still something you prefer?), who can deal with a smart complicated beautiful sexy woman in a mature fashion has got to be well grounded.

As someone who’s new to discovering Cathy Reisenwitz, I appreciate how perfectly digestible-ly this post highlights who you are. The way you explain how your professional and romantic motivations interweave makes complete sense. I hope those two sentences feel like compliments and not notes from a professor. To be clear, reading this post made me geek out about two things: your knowledge of self and your clarity in the presentation.

I think professional experimentation is very attractive -- not in a fetish kind of way(although 🤔...) but in a magnetic way. It’s magnetic. I could call it the “spirit of entrepreneurship”, but that feels reductive and buzzword-y. There’s a line between entrepreneurs who will execute with a ‘let’s see if it works’ attitude and the entrepreneur who goes down paths with more clear/established roadmaps. I feel like I’m rambling, so IN CONCLUSION of this paragraph, I’m significantly more drawn to Cathy because of your willingness to experiment professionally.
