Several quotes came to mind when reading this:

"If you win the rat race, you're still a rat." - Anna Quindlen, Harvard Commencement speech

"No man on his deathbed ever said, 'I wish I had spent more time at the office.'" - The late Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas, speaking at another Harvard Commencement

There's another quote that also springs to mind, but I can't remember who said it. It is "time is the ultimate luxury." I think of this more often as the years go by and more responsibilities land on my plate, and my personal and family time suffer. I like what I do, but there are real sacrifices that come with leading a career-driven life.

No, but I bet a lot of men have said, at least to themselves if not out loud, "I wish I'd had sex with a lot more gorgeous women." cf. Little Miss Sunshine.

Spending more time at the office is a fairly reliable way of upping your odds when you're not at the office.

American cultural assumption? Because I don't want women to be attracted to my money. Better ways to get women: learn to perform music, take up physical exercise, practice your confidence game.

If the goal is quantity of gorgeous women, and only to the point of sleeping with them, then who cares why they like you? :-)

Human beings are based on stimulus/response more than goal-seeking. My dealing with women has no clear-cut goal, it's an interplay of many different instincts some of which are frustrated at the thought of sex for money.

If your goal is to have sex with many hot women, then I think time spent practicing and refining your pick-up skills would be much better invested than time spent at the office.

Also if you have really hot co-workers spending time in the office is always a plus! I have no problem looking for a different job in exchange for a hot piece of ass if company policy gets in the way. (alright now I offended someone)... The trouble is getting the hot married ones, this takes skill and dedication (and a complete lack of caring for your current job).

Has it crossed your mind that maybe the hot married pieces of ass should be left alone?
