Talk is cheap - as are communications skills;

Having read that, I'd have picked you as a brawny brainless type who fiddled in people's toilet pipes and always had that peculiar smell emanating from their brown finger nails. But
'lo n be'old', you're a salesman. HA! Delicious..
What you and everyone is is forgetting is that women gravitate towards the common skills like communications - and simple economics dictate that an excess of supply of a service over corresponding demand lowers the price of that service.
Interesting. You're a so called businessman and a salesman, and you're saying women gravitate towards common skills such as communications? I'd expect that someone who's reached your lofty position (I'm guessing car salesman or hoover door to door), would have some form of communication skill.
Non? So what do you do bumblebee? Club the clients and buyers over the head and proclaim 'me sell.. you buy.. now'? Ironic isn't, it that what you blame your niece as being backward for having more of, is essential for you to peddle whatever it is you're trying to get people to buy.
Now, going back to my niece, I intend to initiate a policy that will OVERstimulate her spatial and mechanical skills, so as to compensate for the innate weaknesses therein.
Trying to over-compensate for your own inate weaknesses? Don't you know that you should never force yourself or your wishes and dreams on a child. Tends to backfire and make you look like the cheerleader's mother who'd kill her daughter's oponent because
'Bessy just has to be on top because I never was'.
All I've said, this whole time, is that women are, by their nature, attracted to the talky, feely subjects than to the mechanistic/abstract ones. Of course, there are female Programmers and male hairdressers, but if I had a magic needle for the human race, I'd bring us ALL up to full power; male Corpus Collossi would be as active as females, and women would feel themselves just as attracted by car mechanics as they do learning foreign languages (and vice-versa for men).
You mean you'd want to put yourself where everyone else was? Make yourself equal.
Once I've marshalled my own experiences into written form I'll start a separate thread explaining why men outearn women.
Using that useless talk is cheap type of communication to explain that huh?
The reason why men outearn women in many instances bumblee comes down to the law and statutes and regulations. Go back in history and you'll see that a man and a woman doing exactly the same thing will always have some disparity in earnings, with the male earning more than the woman. The law allowed it, as did the regulations that governed all industries. While equal opportunity and supposed anti-discrimination laws were meant to equal out the imbalance, the imbalance still continues in most fields. Men don't outearn women because they are better. Men outearn women because men percieve themselves as being better and so ensured that the laws and statutes they presided over in the last 100 years reflected that sexist and stupid ideal.
No kidding? I speak French and German (howzat for communication skills?),
So now communication skills are good? All because you supposedly speak French and German? So you've gravitated towards the little box you've stereotyped women under? You know, the 'talk is cheap and as are communications' spiel you gave us above? Cute..
I agree with feminists that women are mistreated by society, but I disagree that women CAN be equals in the truest sense;
This is hilarious. You agree with feminists that women are mistreated by the boors in society, but you disagree that women can be equal. Do you even know the meaning of contradiction?
The inherent differences between men and women will ensure that we will never be equal in the truest sense. Feminists dream of the day where a woman won't be judged as being unfit for anything because of the mere fact that she is a woman. That is the sense of equality that feminists dream of. Feminists do not dream of being equal in the sense of growing a penis. Do you get the drift and differences there?
I propose to narrow (but not close, we can't do that until those in-utero injections I talked about) the gap between female and male performance in the workplace, by starting in the schools. For example, when I was 14, my school in 1982 gave all pupils a straight choice between Technical Drawing (Draughtsmanship, if you're American) and Spanish. No prizes for guessing how the gender distributions played out; there was only one guy learning Spanish, and one girl learning TD. Ha.
Let me guess, you were the one learning Spanish? Or was it French or German?
Rather like taking a bunch of unwilling construction guys on a tour of an art gallery; chances are, one of those guys will find himself fascinated by something he would otherwise never have been exposed to, and come back on his day off.
You're assuming of course that all construction workers aren't educated or have appreciation for any type of art. Another dangerous and frankly silly piece of stereotyping on your part.
Suffice to say I'm a businessman. Sorry to be secretive, but my market position hinges upon the exclusivity of what I sell, how I sell it etc. I don't reveal these when meeting strangers, and very definitely cannot publicise it on the Net. I suppose I could email it to you, but then I'd have to trace your IP address and kill you...
Sex toys market doing
that well?
But the overall quality of our society would DEFINITELY improve; you'd have no ugly people, no deformities, no congenital defects, no obesity, no anorexia, no need for Prozac, etc.
Where would you fit in all of this? Hmmm no salesmen.. bliss..
That's pretty much the real reason I learned French in the 80's! And in so doing, I also discovered I had a gift for languages that had gone untapped.
Heh! Let me guess, you were the only guy in French class as well?
I'll tell you about the car; it's a Saab 900SE 2.3i Convertible, cream leather seats, cup holder, you name it...
Is this your attempt to put yourself above everyone else? Or is this you looking at a different way of letting on how big your penis is after the extension?
My last girlfriend was 5'11" of sheer womanhood, and an all-nighter; no, geek, she didn't read Proust until dawn, she screwed without drying up. 4 times a night, and still wanted more in the morning.
Oh good grief! What next, you're going to share the position that makes you last longer than 3 minutes? There's such a thing as saying too much. I could understand why she's your ex, most woman would run from any git who spread her sex life out like a dried octopus for all to see and smell.
But speaking of doubts, I have one; you don't strike me as female, your demeanour and writing style are quite masculine.
And yours is quite feminine. So what's your point? What does her writing style have anything to do with it?
