One of the things 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”. Then what was I doing with 60 hour weeks?

I find the same thing with residual income . What people dont understand is you just grew into a whole new level of asset management , growth and a whole new world of knowledge .

I dont argue about it because it’s more of a teaching moment and if I’m not liked when I’m “Down” I cannot have you when I’m up . Simple ;)

Wow, you guys have it tough, just kidding.

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

I know what you mean FRiend, but those women aren't worth more than one night anyway. You have to find a woman more in touch with logic and less with instincts. I know, you're probably laughing now...

It's an instinctual turn-on for women to see a man “doing something”, especially physical labor. Physical performance has been an essential trait for men throughout 90%+ of human history. Sports, physical work, and combat are how women found the “top dog”. That is why they are so attracted to soldiers, athletes and roughnecks. In the past, a stronger man could have easily killed you and taken your woman.

If she doesn't see him work and/or understand what his work is, she is less likely to feel this type of attraction. This is why women are often more attracted to a blue-collar guy than a low level office worker. Some say it is only because the blue-collar guys are in better shape, but that is only part of the reason.

IMO, this is still a small part of attraction and I wouldnt worry about it. The CEO or owner earning 10-20x more has a far greater advantage. Not only because of nice stuff and shiny things. Leadership, wealth and security are even more important than physical strength. In the past, a leader could be somewhat weak but have many strong men under his command and have friends/family that respect him enough to care for his woman/children should he fall. Leadership and wealth are as instinctual to women as 6-pack abs.

She wants you out of the house so she can have time with the milkman, cable guy, mailman...

Another possibility, she can’t explain to her friends in 8 words or less what it is her “boyfriend” does/isn’t glamorous enough for the social circles.
