    As a woman and investor, I can mention the similarities that I find:

    - in both cases we are evaluating stocks/people and analyzing how far it could go and under what conditions and risks
    - in both cases, we have to do an analysis of the performance history in order to make projections of the future, risk assessment, and crisis management
    - in both cases, she should look for the fundamentals and not just technical analysis, is in the company management/person values where we find out what we are genuinely facing up
    - in both cases we have to look for alphas investing/going out with betas is not so interesting
    - in both cases, we can determine how much time/money to invest according to the person/stock
    - in both cases, we can program our stop loss and take profit when everything is still fine
    - in both cases, we must keep a cool head and not be emotional, emotional decisions are the worst because they are impulsive and without reasoning
    - people/stocks values change all the time, so we shouldn't take it personally, it's just business
    -
    many relationships/stocks are nothing more than an economic bubble, so I don't let anything surprise me so easily

    Personally, I select only successful, cultured men and hang out with them for only 3 months, before one of us gets bored with the other, and I maintain a cordial friendship with my exes. I don't like to give anyone the power over my humor, because this affects my performance.

    Now I'm 28, I would only take a relationship seriously after 35, probably with someone older than me, until then life is a safari and, sincerely I enjoy my freedom. I learned from Buddhism that detachment is the key to enlightenment, inner peace keeps me aware and I can dedicate my time to take care of myself physically, spiritually, and financially.

    As Warren Buffet said, risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. Sorry for the long text guys, I hope I have not bored you, I'd like to read your opinion. Kisses to you wonderful men.
