I feel that the reason there are less women traders then men is because you need balls to trade. Simple fact of the matter is that a lower percentage of women possess said balls.
Well said rod shaft......I think the fact that they ask too many questions and cant make quick decisions is why
May also be the accountability involved. When was the last time you had an argument with a woman you were in a sexual relationship with and eventually won the argument? There is no winning an argument with a woman -- because they are always right. However, the market is not one to so easily get pussy whipped. The market could care less what a woman thinks -- and therefore women would rather take that argumentative logic to guy's with deep pockets. I'm not sexist, but from my experience, women get irritating after more than 24 hours around them or after a few times of having sex with them -- whichever comes first.
Most of the women who trade, rather than just date the guys that do, are probably not ones you'd be lusting after. Then again, I don't know your situation! there are exceptions, however.
hmmm, so there aren't many hard headed, stuck up, emotionally unstable and/or less than intelligent women???? That's a special perspective you have there!
You digressed just a bit aphie when you said there is no winning an argument with a woman... ! The qualification you put on the woman about a sexual relationship is the key there, as you said just previous. Speaking in the past, if a woman I wanted to have sex with said that the moon was made of cheese, I brought the crackers and wine. And it could have been a woman I was already having sex with too, not just a new conquest. The key was "a woman I wanted to have sex with." I wish we could ask Toni what's-her-name what she thinks the answer is. OptionVue has some women option strategists that you can ask questions to. Aphie, truthfully, you are just the guy to go there and do it.
Obviously times have changed, largely for the better. However, there ARE substantial and substantive differences between men and women (the way we communicate, the way we behave, our general aptitudes and interests, general aggressiveness, etc etc).
VERY TRUE!! Many double standards. Some others are with child custody, alamony, differing standards for some jobs, etc
On the second point, that depends on the woman. On the third assertion, do you date really big, beer chugging women or something??
