first, I also found that some women equate self employed with unemployed. Even when I had several contracts (engineering/commissioning support) active - a refinery, some pipeline companies, a chemical plant, and a biomedical manufacturing company, it did not matter. I did not have a “real job”.

second, I find the same thing with residual income.

Wow, you guys have it tough, just kidding.

Any guy that can't make those two occupations sing, doesn't deserve women.

This was in a very liberal state up north. Women (having drunk the Kool Aid about men being liars and predators) tended to view any kind of accomplishments out of the ordinary as “just another line of bovine scat from another loser and predator”. The culture in this state (Minnesota) had as one of its characteristics “how dare you do better than average/mediocre”. Maybe the women viewed the mediocre office drone as having more “stability”. Perceptions are a funny thing. It makes “resume deflation” in certain social circles (and I don’t mean homeless bums, welfare recipients, and all that) a necessary tactic.

BTW, I am no longer in Minnestoopid.

I’m not desperate boss . Aint looking either . My point was the dumbing down of the American school system with respect to finance and self reliance .

Aside from that I dont care who they are . If someone is attracted to bright shiny objects I have no time for them . Man or beast .
