Why nurses or teachers are positive signs for longer-term relationships
Hard-core players who want to f**k around can ignore this one, but I mentioned to a player that teachers and nurses are good female occupations for long-term partners. Why?
smart men looking for a long-term partner should look at a woman’s job situation… a woman out of school who has no work or work history whatever is probably showing that there is something wrong with her… but a woman in a corporate job is not that appealing to most similarly situated men. When I am evaluating women for long term situations, two jobs in particular stand out, teacher and nurse. They are both jobs that are easy to leave at the job (don’t demand 50+ hour weeks) and they are both jobs that make it easy to leave for a year or two to have a family.
There are a lot of women who bring nothing to relationships apart from their p***ies… and then they are surprised… where are the GOOD men?
Teachers and nurses make fine money and both jobs can easily be left at work, unlike many modern corporate jobs. Both of them have a caring / empathy component that is good for men. Both jobs are easy to leave for a couple years to do child-bearing and early rearing. Both jobs convey that a woman is smart enough to get into a line of work that's super compatible with having a family. Obviously, there are many teachers and nurses who would make terrible long-term partners, so you don't need to tell me that in the comments. I know that and so do you.
It's also true that some corporate women or flakey artistic bohemians who would make good long-term partners. Judge an individual in her totality, not just her profession. But if I hear "teacher" or "nurse," that's a grain of sand on the "long-term partner" side of the scale, and if I hear "boring corporate harridan" that's a grain on the other side. If a nurse starts telling me about how she cuts herself, how she hates men because of her non-existent relationship with her father, and about how she is a women's "rights" (special privilege) advocate... then she's out and it's on to the next one. A boring corporate harridan who talks about how she has chosen a set of skills and abilities that make it easy for her to have a family... about how she prioritizes family over work... about how she is close with her parents... that's the opposite.... she's a good choice... a sign of something is not the thing itself.
Age discrepancy is also an important question for longer-term relationships. I'm very unlikely to get into a serious relationship with a woman younger than 25 or who is still in school. That way lies madness. Yes, younger-hotter-tighter is cool, but that's also setting yourself up for dissolution and, worse, divorce. The number of exceptions here is super small. If the age gap gets too large, a man is probably setting himself up for failure. If I met the right 23 year old who wanted to be a co-parent... maybe... but we're also getting to very unusual fringe corner cases.
Yes, it is possible to consciously seek and seed a co-parenting relationship with a much younger women... I know another player who seems to be doing something like this... but it's so rare that I mention it to be complete without expecting it to be relevant to most guys. If you want such an arrangement and find such a relationship, congratulations, but I don't think many of them are out there.
Unlike some of the guys excreting their bile online, I'm also fine with the woman making more money than the man, if many other factors are in her favor. Many guys are insecure or threatened by this notion, but I'm not. If she makes $$$$, that's nice, but the number of attractive women who make a lot of money and also have other good characteristics for long-term partners... we're again talking about a super small group. I have run into some, most of them being physicians. It's like hot female engineers... I have run into one or two of them, too... they're super rare as well. Generic advice needs to aim for the median cases, not the cases three and four standard deviations out there. There are many millions of attractive teachers and nurses out there, some of them young and cute, and the jobs are easy enough to train for and get that they don't exclude the overwhelming majority of hot chicks, as engineering, computer science, starting your own company, and law tend to do.
