Revisiting what the rest of the world has known for decades. The Old whore York times, behind the power curve. Again.

Because it’s easier for a woman to marry a millionaire than become one.
I once was at a restaurant with a group of fellow engineers, and one of them remarked of the attractive waitress, “nobody gave her a chance to be an engineer.” I replied that I was going to teach her calculus - on the condition that he first convince her that she couldn’t attract an man if she did not learn it.

You could not possibly even attempt to broach that subject without looking like (face it, being) an utter jerk.

Because most women want kids.

If you are going to be smashingly successful at business you generally have to lay the foundation in your twenties and thirties.

Those are prime baby years.

huh.  Just now I was chatting w/ a friend and we were noticing how hundreds of millennia human evolution has made women more sociable, and you hit it spot on w/ the fact that a BIG part of knowing how to talk is knowing what not to say...
