What do you think when you hear - She is ambitious. Do you think the same when you hear: HE is ambitious?

I actually do think the same thing, whether it is a man or a woman that is ambitious, I simply think that they want to do well in life and meet their highest potential. I could see how people could make a difference, but I am not that kind of person, I like to see men and women as equal.

I do think the same thing. I value ambition and see it as a positive quality for both women and men to possess. I am a female and personally ambition is what fuels my life. Since the age of 5 I told everyone I would be a businesswoman. I believe everyone should have passions and aspirations and that they should strive to reach them everyday. Personally I would be depressed if I weren't ambitious. It does annoy me how many people think a woman is overbearing or mean if she is ambitious.

actually it depends. when i hear someone say that he's ambitious, it's sounds negtive to me. but then that person might just have an ambition. so maybe you culd just say that this person has an ambition

Ambition, in either men of women means the same thing. They know what they want and they wont stop until they get it.
