No,I wasn't traumatized by "All the President Men", It's just that my A.D.D makes it impossible.

@Jack Stovall the markets that you menition are very different markets which leads me to think that you haven't clearly defined your criteria which is where you should start.

--at all the friendly encouragement I got from men!

Hmm, So, certified pre-owned rather than used car sales men?

With some men, it can come down to who can intimidate who, rather primal isn't it.

Whether it is real estate brokerage, stock broker, or business men, it is still the same. 10% make 90% of the money and the 90% share the remaining 10%.

The more experience you have with women (or men, it doesn't really matter, bad relationship partners come in all genders), the less likely you are to make a mistake in the single more important factor, your marriage, that decides if you go through life rich or poor.95% of US millionaire households are headed up by a married couple or a widow/widower. 5% are headed up by someone who is single or who chose not to remarry after divorce.

So, when you're playing a victim card (very nicely, btw) and discussing potential violence (to men), it's called semantics, but when you call women out on some things, it's sexism and misogyny.

Cars can be expensive but for many men it is just a tiny fraction of the money they will spend on women!

That sounds opposite of the trend in here where increased education correlates with later marriage rates, later families and fewer children.Roy I have imagine she is making assumptions based on people she happens to know.Just looking at the articles cited in her original post if you look at the CDC report using 2002 data and the 2013 Huffington Post article that looks to be using 2012 numbers the median age of marriage for women went from 24.8 to 26.9 and for men it went from 27.3 to 29.8.
