Q:
What is the attraction of working class men to career women? I'm a programmer. I
make a decent salary, I dress well, and (if I may say so) am very intelligent. I
have a clear idea of the kind of woman I want: beautiful, a particular height
and weight, intelligent, a lady who had a career. But whenever I meet someone
who comes close to matching my desires, she didn't want a steady, smart guy
like me, she wanted a construction worker, or a biker. I'm honestly perplexed. What's
wrong with women these days??
Anne: You mean besides the fact some
of us have become as shallow as men? Really, look at your list. You won't
consider a beautiful, intelligent woman over a "particular height and
weight"? Give me a break. You need to be looking at the woman inside the
body, not the outside shell for a real relationship. Looks come and go, but
substance lasts forever.
Dee: Yeah, substance is good, but
there's more to it than that. There's something sensual about calloused fingers
stroking breasts and legs rather than pampered and manicured hands. Of course,
there's the sensation of smoothing your hands over firm muscles instead of
flab, and there's also the image of a working man having staying power in the
sack because of the shape he's in. No PC, mamby-pamby desk jockey, a working
man has the strength and confidence to verbalize what he wants (and what he
wants to do to you), and then carry it out, without one eye on the Blackberry
and a hand reaching for the cell phone to schedule the next meeting.
A
desk jockey—even a well-paid, intelligent programmer—has a lot to prove. A
woman already knows that a bull rider knows what to do with a rope, and that a
biker can put something hard and strong between her legs. Prove you can
fuck a woman to death rather than code her into boredom, and you might have a shot.
