Men and women evolve. Things that are 'meant' change. What is an alpha male? Can't stand such nonsense personally. A lot of men think they are something called an 'alpha male', reality is quite something different. Women often fall in love with toxic men and bad boys. They fall in love with a glamorized ideal. They turn out to be abusers, losers, and just downright incompatible. The ideal man that the woman pictures in her head or thinks she can change a man into, turns out to be just as silly as a man that thinks he is something he is not. We women as a species are very selective.. sometimes we should be especially cautious and selective. But that is how we women learn and evolve as a species, and with time hopefully teach our daughters to be equally as selective.

Say what you will, but psychology has proven there are at least type A & B personalities.  I have worked for and with both.  Each has their own strengths and weaknesses.

 

But suffice it to say, when SHTF, the type As make things happen, post haste.

Exactly.  I am a high right quadrant type A. I think that is why i always thrived in the production managment role. I get bored real easy with mundane tasks

Psychology has not proven this. In fact, quite the opposite. A proto-animal mythic he-man that does not exist.

I thought Gender was an outdated construct.

I just saw this after I had already posted a coupla times.  I'd give you an upvote, but they don't exist anymore.   And I'm a tad miffed you put my wife in the same class as Trump's wife.  I mean,  Melania is cute enough, I reckon, but....

  I have to admit, I had no idea what you were talking about that time. I suspected it might have been a joke, but I also wondered if Darnell somehow got access to your account.
