Taz, you are rare to me. I am an engineer for 15 years now and since I consult I get around to many many companies. During this time I have only met one “born and bred” American woman in my field. All the other women are Asian (mostly Indian or Chinese). There’s nothing wrong with Asians of course (as you know by mainstream entertainment these days). The only American women I meet, sadly, are the ones who make my latte in the morning, the secretaries, and the ones who serve me food. I’m starved to meet an American woman who is on par with me in terms of financial independence, education, and outlook. Many of the American women I do manage to meet have spent their lives pursuing things I call “fun”, are now stuck in crummy jobs because of it, have failed in relationships because they chose the wrong guys, now classify men as all being “dawgs”, often have children, and when they feel the clock ticking they try to latch onto a guy who did all the work to make his life stable. On top of that they want to be treated special (but call it “equal”). Wow am I jaded?
