from one another- - or from a prospective employer.
Each are seeking a 'multi-tasker' who is a 'team player' and 'attentive to detail', 'produces' 'positive results' 'with little instruction and/or supervision', 'is stimulated by a challenge' and 'recognizes when extra effort is needed'.
Where the variance comes in the analogy between 'career' and 'sexual pleasures' is that these things are ALWAYS EXPECTED by an employer.
In a marriage and/or commited sexual/emotional relationship - success comes from DESIRING to GIVE ALL of the above with NO EXPECTATION regarding the return as motivation.
More would succeed if, instead of aiming for a 50-50 deal, we sought to GIVE 95% and only 'EXPECT' 5%.
Truth be told, there is a constant fluctuation as to who is in which role.
