I can say, with great confidence, when I was in my twenties, my political affiliation meant goddamned ZERO to women, as did my penchant for putting my surplus income into stupid things like savings accounts, mutual funds and shares of Oracle, Microsoft and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. And my interest in perhaps one day working in a place like Shenzhen or Taichung.

And those were the women who ever talked to me long enough to find out about such things.

I’d save this analysis of who is what, and what terms we and society use to convos with the gentlemen. Love to talk this stuff, but it never works with women, even open-minded ones.

Treat this like you are in a play, or an improv comedy routine with women. Make up any nonsense you want with your words. And enjoy it.
