I don’t know if any of you are going to dispute me on this,
but it’s my opinion there are large numbers of men who think about sex ALL the
time. You may also be surprised to know,
that in my profession, they share this with me.
Sometimes it is cute, like when the 90 year man suddenly
exclaims during an estate planning visit, “How did a woman as beautiful as you
ever get to be a lawyer?” Beats the hell
outta me.
More recently, upon being completely taken back by my weight
loss, a long term client asked, “Marian Lindquist, why are you still
working? Why aren’t you letting some
rich man take care of you?” He’s
rich. I don’t think he’d be so happy
with some rich woman taking care of him.
Maybe he thinks he would. It
probably depends on the care provided.
Most conversations do not rise to the level of one I had recently. I was consulting with a man who owns numerous
businesses, including restaurants. We
were speaking of the businesses when, out of the blue he states, “I bet you don’t
even know how to cook a pot roast.” I
found this to be so inappropriate I ignored it and continued the conversation
that came before it.
“You don’t know how to make a pot roast, do you?” He asked again.
“I do know how to make a pot roast.”
“How would you make a pot roast?” He asked.
“I would put it in the crock pot before I went to work and
when I came home I would have pot roast.”
“That’s cheating.” He
said.
“See how you are?” I asked him. “Do you always seek to find
fault?”
He ignored me and asked, “Can you imagine you and I walking
on the Riverwalk together?”
“No, I cannot.” And
that was the end of that client.
