I feel that the reason there are less women traders then men is because you need balls to trade. Simple fact of the matter is that a lower percentage of women possess said balls.

Well said rod shaft......I think the fact that they ask too many questions and cant make quick decisions is why

May also be the accountability involved. When was the last time you had an argument with a woman you were in a sexual relationship with and eventually won the argument? There is no winning an argument with a woman -- because they are always right.

However, the market is not one to so easily get pussy whipped. The market could care less what a woman thinks -- and therefore women would rather take that argumentative logic to guy's with deep pockets.

I'm not sexist, but from my experience, women get irritating after more than 24 hours around them or after a few times of having sex with them -- whichever comes first.

Most of the women who trade, rather than just date the guys that do, are probably not ones you'd be lusting after. Then again, I don't know your situation! there are exceptions, however.

I have traded with women before, and they tend to make better traders in a different repsect. They tend to listen when you train them better then men, they take less risk, which make them more consistent traders. Men's testastorone starts to run and they think they are god's and know everything. I'm amazed how men refuse to follow their trainers advice cause they think they know better. I would love to have women training under, cause I can make them into better traders in less time then men. Not that is a gaurantee, but they're better listeners, and harder studiers.

hmmm, so there aren't many hard headed, stuck up, emotionally unstable and/or less than intelligent women???? That's a special perspective you have there!

You digressed just a bit aphie when you said there is no winning an argument with a woman... ! The qualification you put on the woman about a sexual relationship is the key there, as you said just previous.

Speaking in the past, if a woman I wanted to have sex with said that the moon was made of cheese, I brought the crackers and wine. And it could have been a woman I was already having sex with too, not just a new conquest. The key was "a woman I wanted to have sex with."

I wish we could ask Toni what's-her-name what she thinks the answer is. OptionVue has some women option strategists that you can ask questions to.

Aphie, truthfully, you are just the guy to go there and do it.

Give it some time, they only got their rights in the last 50 years. Once the old mentality generation dies off, about what woman roles should be, you'll see women becoming the next Bill Gates. Look at Carly Fiorini, Marth Stewart, The woman from Ebay, whitman I believe, always forget her name, and endless others thatare only now working up the ranks. Be aware, they're coming to a company near you!!!!

Obviously times have changed, largely for the better. However, there ARE substantial and substantive differences between men and women (the way we communicate, the way we behave, our general aptitudes and interests, general aggressiveness, etc etc).

This is what I fail to understand. For hundreds of years, men have slaved their asses off to provide a woman comfort, family and food. We work day and sometimes night so they can use that Platinum card at the finest stores. When the Titanic sank, we let them step on the lifeboats first as real gentleman.

Suddenly, everything changes, the politically correct movement kicks in and we get washed over in extreme liberalism. Then you have feminists screaming and ranting about how they want equal rights and access to financial compensation -- and on and on.

What I fail to understand is, why would they want to do this to themselves? Why are so many women pissed off about wanting to be equal to men in every way -- but yet when the boat is sinking, we resort back to the old ways?

They can't have their cake and eat it, too.

VERY TRUE!! Many double standards. Some others are with child custody, alamony, differing standards for some jobs, etc

Yeah, but women have to piss too often, and would be away from the desk half the day.

Also, women are too emotionally fragile to deal with a big bad market ass kicking once in a while.

Women also do fart a lot.

On the second point, that depends on the woman.

On the third assertion, do you date really big, beer chugging women or something??
