I would hope that any surgeon I went to loved her profession, like your mom. Because when you love what you do, you are usually really good at it, and that's pretty important if you are a surgeon!

Some people seem able to handle stress and pressure better than others. My husband, for instance, deals with more stress in one day than I do in a year. He still can laugh and he sleeps well at night. I marvel at that. I don't know how he does it. I would be a complete wreck if I had to live a day in his shoes.

Some surgeons are really good, but don't love their profession. I don't think it makes a big difference.

In general, plenty of people are good at their jobs, but don't love it.

Men are easy. Women are more complicated. Most men would date a lady who didn't make a lot of money. Not a lot of women can say the same thing. Seems like some women are more materialistic. My opinion.....

I would not care about her income in particular, but about her education and the fact that she is independent and not wanting to live only on my money. My gf earns slightly more than I do, and this way we do share all the costs from travelling to dining, which makes the thing pretty much easier. I mean its not a problem if a woman is unemployed or currently doing free sabbattical or whatever. But the overall ambition should be existing.

What do I muster? I just agreed with her and asked what else they're updating. I hope she doesn't notice me checking her out, I can't help it. I try to use the ol' 3-4 mirror method.

I'm sure she doesn't make a lot of money, but she's one of the most attractive women I've seen since moving to Vail.

Lol.
Chances are very good that she's seeing one of the many multi-millionaires who live there. Not very likely you'll get to place any equipment. That old triple-reflection trick on those wall-to-wall mirrors can also be used to detect which women are checking out you, when you're doing a set. Sometimes you can spot one who'd die before she'd let you know she was paying attention.

Of course we are and we do--and there was a telling question on OKC that said as much and the backpedaling on my timeline when I pointed that out was freaking hilarious. We've been doing that since the beginning. Yet, we've got women here who think watching CNN will impress the object of their desire. You'd think they'd call a grandparent or four to figure out how real charm went down, because mom and dad didn't show them...

Sigh? Sigh.
