Your judgement, folks...

Men who felt intellectually inferior to their lovers reported the lowest level of sexual satisfaction, as did their women. Partners of more confident men had the highest pleasure scores. "It may be driven by guilt," said Imelda Bush, a researcher working with Dr Schwartz. "Men who spend too much time at work and feel bad about it may make more of an effort and try harder to satisfy their partner sexually, making up for lost time in the home.

Once again, they ignore the most obvious answer.

Women are not turned on by a loser.

[Defiant]

Can someone summarize this article for me, I'm too busy with work right now.

[Rakkasan1]

depends on your job. if hubby is a OTR trucker or a deployed
soldier...well, you know the story.there are only about ten thousand country songs based on this , not to mention military cadence tunes.

[Aussie Dasher]

I think I know what's going to keep you busy AFTER work...

[RichInOC]

True. Unfortunately, it's hard to carve out enough time to prove it.

:-D

GOOD news for aspiring high achievers and borderline workaholics: you may be remiss in friendships and asleep at family gatherings, but you will be a big hit in the bedroom.

Well...just call me Casanova then.

Women are not turned on by a loser.

Normal, healthy women aren't.

But one cannot deny that a lot of women are turned on by losers. I mean...where do you think Liberals come from?

[A CA Guy]

The more you do, the more you can do!

Note to self: Remember to bring oxygen tank...

workaholic toast: "to our wives and our girlfriends, may they never meet."

(for those from rio linda, the humorous implication is that the workaholic has both.)

[LibFreeOrDie]

In Britain, Luton University senior psychology lecturer Gail Kinman said it all sounded very tiring. "I do not know if they can keep it up," she said.

Apparently, they can, for quite a long time... ;^)

"The danger is that such men can be active and virile and have lots of sex but not make an emotional connection," warned Californian psychologist Debbie Then. "If a man is going to be master of the universe at work, he will also want to be master of the universe at home."

Dominant, emotionally unconnected men--oh no! Where is Alan Alda when you need him. He'll turn us all into metrosexuals with rotten love lives. Then things will be better.

I was once a Workaholics

In a soon-to-be-published study of 1,000 women, Robinson found that those who were married to workaholics had higher divorce rates, greater rates of marital estrangement, fewer positive feelings about their marriage, and felt less in control of their lives and marriages. The study is to appear later this year in the American Journal of Family Therapy.

Now I'm worried about your screen name.

How do they make the best lovers when they are never around?

By the time they are done with the day, they are too tired for intimacy.

Women are not turned on by a loser.

That's true but that's not the point here. A person can be a workaholic and a very hard worker, and not get his due at the office. Sad to say, those traits are not always rewarded with advancement, success, etc. I know several workaholics who never seem to get ahead: they resemble 'losers' more than 'winners.' On the other hand, there are plenty of people who are successful (career, money, opposite sex) who don't work nearly as much as a lot of workaholics. They aren't 'losers' by any standard.
