men and their professions part 1

i know enough men to know that alot of their egos come from what they do for a living. add on to their already innate personalities, you can either have a humble worker or an egomaniac. many of my male friends treat women the way they do because of their jobs and unfortunately, it is very hard to change that unless they want to. here is a list of some professions which i think are influential on how men treat their women. feel free to argue.

the law enforcer
many of them are ex-Marines, trained to never show emotion or weakness. their patriotism is astounding and their discipline is unrivalled. being with a law enforcer would also mean constant fear of having to get the news that he was "killed in action". it would also mean putting up with his passion for staying fit and if you are not the type to count calories, this would probably annoy the heck out of you. although when they do show emotion, it is sincere and honest. no frilly sweet nothings, just straight and direct to the point expressions. pretty much like their jobs. beat the bad guys, save the civilian. very noble, very admirable, very in your face. not that being with a law enforcer would be completely emotionless, but you would have to be a very strong, discplined woman yourself to tackle the life of a policeman's wife.

if you choose to be or are with a law enforcer:
try tapping into his emotion pool once in a while. talk about his fears and listen with sincerity. these men are trained to make suspects out of everyone, even the ones they love. so gain his trust.

the i.t. guy
this guy has his nose at the computer 24/7. he knows every term, every networking site, every tech fad there is. he's extremely smart and he knows his ins and outs of everything on the Internet. Because of this, he is very knowledgeable in finding things for you that you didn't know existed. He knows where to look when finding a good restaurant or researching online for what movies are in theatres. he sends you e-cards, e-flowers and everything else e-. He is also an email sender, preferring this digital exchange more than actual conversation. The i.t. guy most probably stays quiet when confronted and prefers to let you do the talking. i'm not saying he's completely spineless, as there are just as many aggressive tech guys out there. just that if you don't speak the same lingo, it would be very hard to communicate.

if you choose to be or are with an i.t. guy:
you obviously know a little bit about his passion for technology if you're with him in the first place. be more open to it and make the effort of understanding what it is he does. don't have a clue what Twitter is? read about it and make one for yourself. better yet, ask HIM. this sudden curiosity will ignite his passion and get him talking - verbally - nonstop. and if you are REALLY confident in your relationship, tweet about you and your guy. just make sure you sincerely are interested in this and not just trying to impress him.

tomorrow, the manager and the cook.
