Step one: draw breath and smile, while opening your eyes as wide as you can.
Step two: do the "anime hand clasp." Illustration:
Step three: breathlessly praise your target's manliness or skillz or something.
Congratulations, the testosterone is now coursing through your mark and he will do anything to please you. And hey, he's happy too. Enjoy.
(non PC on) My observations of execs is this. Probably 90% of the male execs have a wife who is either stay at home, or, who has a fairly inconsequential job. Rare to see execs married to other execs. Female execs have "no name" husbands or ones who are indepedently wealthy, are lawyes, doctors or government. Very unusual to see a female exec with a high profile, corporate hubby. The remaining execs are singles or gays, but this remainder group is a minor fraction. (/non PC off)
I think the bottom line is that men want a partner, not a competitor. I've dated such career minded women and they want to 'challenge' you more than be with you.
Man...I'd love to hear what some of the posters on this thread have to say about Michelle Malkin and her family situation...
You're entitled to your opinion. My wife has a Ph.D. and is a very capable manager and has a fantastic career I'm proud of. I could not be any more happily married. Who says it's not a cultural thing ? Why is it/could be miserable ? Because you have to share chores, and handle responsibilities together ?
And here I thought we here in America were all about teamwork and getting it done. You'd rather come home and talk to your wife about what happened on a latest soap opera ? I prefer to ask 'what new and exciting things is your company doing, honey ?'
>As opposed to what...a needy, clingy wife who has no interests other than you?<<
That is how some would describe Robroy's Woman. But she is more. MUCH MORE! And I know that the feelings are mutual.
Over eight years, we're both 52, and the honeymoon aint over. In fact, our relationship gets only stronger.
I imagine they don't like Tom Leykis, either.
God forbid a woman has a passion for something other than disciplining kids, cooking and cleaning huh?
- Amen! Back in the good ole days
You guys are just begging to get b**** slapped aren't you?
If the wrong FR ladies see your comments, you're in for it!
Don't say G.B. didn't warn you!
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

My opinion was based on a couple of statements and was not cast in stone. It was reasonable based on the input on which it was based.
I have new input and have adjusted my opinion accordingly. ;)
Mine is still going strong too, I'm 61 and my wife is 53. We've been married since we were babies.
That's a different type of 'career' woman, but she is a 'working' girl.
I wouldn't be able to do that with a straight face. :)
Mrs. randog became a stay-at-home wife a year ago. Every working woman that finds out about our arrangement says one thing to her--"you're so lucky--I wish I could do that".
Uh-huh. And, a man that has *some* self confidence doesn't feel threatened/challenged. So what if they want to 'challenge' you ? That's a good thing. Keeps you focused and your eyes on the ball. I've found that having self confidence to date a very sucessfull, very intelligent woman is *far* more rewarding than dating a english major dropout.
heh, heh. Babies? With a twelve year difference? ;) I know what you mean though. I so wish I had met her when I was a tyke!
HAHA..Great answer!!
