The Washington Post published an op-ed 9 years ago (Jesus, it’s been that long?) suggesting that Trump launched his political career out of spite after being laughed at during the 2011 correspondence dinner.

Those women do exist. I have dated them. They were raised as you describe yourself being raised, and thought sexual relationships were entirely the man’s job. Sex was something that happened to them, not something they would actively pursue or direct.
Fortunately, the world has all types. You can absolutely find someone who wants the save dynamic you are looking for. Dating is trial-and-error so you’ll have to deal with some duds along the way, but you’ll get there.

I started with basic goals:
Make enough money that I don’t have to worry about money. Not like “annual tropical vacations” kind of money, but “if my car is stolen tomorrow I can buy a new one without having to worry about covering other expenses” money.
Do work that is creative and technical.
