WG,

How do You define the traits that I asked You about in my first question? I found it very interesting that You grouped them the way You did!

-Appearence
-Money
-Job
-Family
-Character
-Faithfulnes
-Honesty
-Tendernes

Again, I would like to compare to my fiancée

... in response to Next question to Westerngrrl, posted by Andy(Original) on Jan 24, 2001

Appearance:  Clean cut, "J Crew" type.  Pierced left ear ok, but not too many holes.  No Goths.  Must be in good shape.

Money:  Must be with "in range", meaning in more or less the same category as myself.

Job:    Professional job-- doctor, lawyer, business person....

Family:  A good family.  Overwhelmingly prefer a guy who isn't the first to go to university, and who's parents are also professionals

Character:  Cannot be stupid.  I'd like a funny guy who can make me laugh :-)

Faithfullness:  What?  YOu expect me to eventually marry  a guy who KNOWLINGLY cheats?

Honesty:  That sums it all, doesn't it?  He has to tell me everything, just as I tell him everything.

Tenderness:  Sums it up.  Must be sweet :-)

Westerngrrl,

I've got bad news for you.  Nowadays, "professional" isn't used only on "elite" high-paying jobs.  It's also used on the lowerpaying jobs such as journalism (God knows they don't make 6-digit starting salaries), librarians (the job I'm aspiring to :), teachers, etc.  Hey, being a junior in college, I'm interested in this stuff myself. :)

As in sitting in a desk in an office making at least five figures.  I'm not expecting him to make high fives should he not have an MBA, but he has to make enough and have a respectable enough job where my parents won't freak out and disown me.

You don't really need a degree to make low fives.....Should I have kept the job I had this summer as a receptionist, I'd make along the lines of $25,000 CDN per annum

... in response to Professional, posted by Westerngrrl on Jan 24, 2001

Your parents would disown you if your husband wasn't making enough money???

And by the way, what do you consider the bringer of happiness in this world?

... in response to Re: Professional, posted by DE on Jan 24, 2001

My parents would disown me if the man I marry doesn't fit their "approval" list.  Their list is actually quite liberal compared to some Chinese Canadian families

... in response to Re: Re: Professional, posted by Westerngrrl on Jan 24, 2001

Interesting.  My parents have no such list that I'm aware of.  Of course they would like her to be a nice girl, etc., but I don't think they're nearly so stringent.

... in response to Re: Re: Re: Professional, posted by DE on Jan 24, 2001

I made $32,000 usd the last two years. I make drywall, I'm just a blue collar schmuck. I think defining professional by salary or wages is a mistake.

... in response to Re: Re: Re: Re: Professional, posted by logan_jiang on Jan 25, 2001

If I were defining "professional" by salary, trust me, I wouldn't have put journalism and teaching in there.  I'm not really sure how they decide definition;  I'm getting this stuff from the Occupational Outlook Handbook and other "college" resources.

... in response to Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Professional, posted by DE on Jan 26, 2001

I believe I once heard that there were 5 original traditional professional professions.

1. Doctor -- Medical
2. Lawer
3. Veterinarian
4. Accountant CPA
5. Architect - what I would become if I were not a Pastry dude.

Why these 5 --- I am not sure  additional study, or accountability for your actions?

Wouldn't that make you a professional too?

... in response to Re: Define?--"professional", posted by DE on Jan 24, 2001

that ladies of the evening are now called "professionals." :o))

Nowhere is the term "professional" more evident than in the Health care field. The salary of a health care "professional" may range from 4-digits to well into the 6-figures. Everyone is a "technician", an "engineer" or a "specialist" of some kind. Big titles, low pay.

Banks and many companies often use the title "Vice-President. "Wear a suit and tie, look important, have an impressive title, and shuffle papers." I know several "Sanitation Engineers" that are making double the salary of many bank "Vice Presidents." There's gold in them cans. Keep the cash, I'll take the gold. :o))

Your looking for the perfect Guy. Western girl what are you going to do once your Hubby lose all those things that attracted you to him? Divorce him right?? That's the normal thing for AWs. There's no guarantees in life, the Lord can give and take away. Whatever we have is a blessing from God. That's the problem with AWs, they marry because of.. because he got good looks, $$$$$$$$, etc and etc. Most AWs don't marry for Love and Happiness nowdays, AWs want to be the head of the Home, they want to be in control of everything, they work a man to death then go on to the next man. I say no thanks to AWs; Western girl do whatever you want with your life, if these Canadian, American Guys here want to put up with You and all those other selfish AWs that's their tough luck. Ask for myself, I'm going to do the wise thing and get my Love and Happiness from abroad. Don't be mistaken, I have no problem getting an AW if I so Chose, same with the other Guys on this board. We simply do not want an AW. Anyway, I enjoy having you on Planet-Love. :-) greg

... in response to Re: Define? Western girl, posted by greg on Jan 24, 2001

What?  I'd never marry a man twice my age, for one, and secondly, I can train him into eating a healthy foods.  Besides, why would a nice girl like me date a Goth or a biker?

... in response to Re: Re: Define? Western girl, posted by Westerngrrl on Jan 24, 2001

OK, I'm done laughing my A%# of at your posts, they get better with each one....Do tell about this research your doing...Remember? it's the reason you gave for being here, that and criticizing the age differences. Now it seems to be what you want, what your really here for, attention, it's all about you, isn't it?. You'll hear those words again as he shuts the door on his way out of your life.....

I think you nailed it FL (just looking for attention). And I agree with your prediction for her future.

Hey, you're pretty smart for a garbageman! ROFL

ROTFLMAO!

I think you may be one of the last of a dying breed. Last year my municipality switched us over to the new automated garbage trucks, with the 96 gal bins for each household. Now, instead of two men on a truck, there’s one little woman driving the new rig. Just another example of a decaying society?

An interesting note: Where my wife lives in the Phils (Surigao City), they have garbage pickups 6 days a week. I’ve seen as many as 5 or 6 guys on each truck, but they are very fast and efficient. Instead of garbage cans, they just pile it up in front of the house, and the garbage crews scoop it up by hand and throw it in the truck.

I work where most G-men (many others too) would die for, the San Juan Islands, lots of summer tourists, paying big $$$ to spend a weekend here.... My commuting is done by ferry ie., Orcas, eagles, sea lions, incredible scenery and sun rises.
   I can do a route on one of the islands and never see another car...Usually done by 2pm. Soon, my mahal will be here, in paradise, and she'll be on the routes riding with me. She'll  make a good "swamper" (guy on the back of truck) :-0....just kidding!!! But with all the connections I have, she has many, many job offers, no kidding. Folks out here don't take anything for granted, especialy the G-man. Doubt we here will ever be modernized, but OSHA is bored and working on new standards, which won't mean much to me, but will probably raise your rates
  Of course I noticed the system of my Cebuano peers...er, no thanks. FL "if it's tourist season, can I shoot one?"

Stereotypical GOth:

- makes their skin really pale (if not natural)
-black lipstick (both genders)
-black clothes
- may put black spots on their face

I can see why you wouldn't want to marry this type guy.  I see plenty of them, just didn't know the name.   I always called them Weirdos!  :)

he makes at least 8-digits a year. :<)...whoops...wrong nose...:-) Just don't let him have sleep overs with the neighborhood boys.

Say Westerngrrl, your not that "Asiangirl" or "Anonymous" that was here last year are you? As I recall, she was Canadian too. Please tell me you are "Mistress," as I really liked her. 8oQ

  You just may be on to something there.  She does sound awfully familiar and there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to convict her.... hmmmmmmmmmm

Gee Steve,

Thanks! I always wanted to be a detective. What shall I call myself? Hmmmm...I always liked Magnum P.I. and I drive a red car. Unfortunately it is a Chevy and not a Ferrari. I liked the show Cannon too. I look a lot more like Frank Cannon than I do Thomas Magnum. I know...I will be "Magnum Cannon P.I" :o) Short, fat, bald, wrinkled, with an attitude, a red car and a big gun. I'm bad!

After reading your take on Westerngrrl, I have decided that you're either a psychic or an FBI profiler. :o) Quick...how many fingers am I holding up?
