For me, personally, I’m not saying this about all career-focused women. I think women like Kaitlyn, Jillian, and Jojo are just as career-oriented, ambitious, and successful as Rachel (if not more), but I’ve just never gotten that vibe from them. Whether it’s Rachel seeming disengaged in the podcast with him or her “I told you so”-esque wedding speech, there’s just that “I need him” type of feeling that I personally don’t sense from her that I do see with the others.
I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I come from a culture in which marriage is more for practicality than for love and it seems to work well for a lot of people.
