flirt like a drunk receptionist

Let's start a nationwide manhunt for Renee.   Describe the guy for us, Renee.

Hmm.  If we do that, she'll have Mr. Right.  She'll get smug, satisfied and domesticated.  Then she won't be rowdy and entertaining on BT.   On second thought, cancel the search, guys. 

Just kidding Renee.  Have fun in Atlanta.  I'll give you a list of my my ten favorite restaurants

TW

Hyuck, hyuck. Have your fun with the desperate and dateless...

Ooh! Atlanta restaurants -

Soleil (French)

Rusan's (sushi)

Dish.  Agave.  Tamarind Thai.  Joel.  Eclipse di Luna.  Spice.  Floataway Cafe.  Bacchanalia.  Seegers.  Canoe.  Antica Posta.

That's eleven.  I could go on for awhile.

I love Canoe! We have a Dish here. I prefer the locally owned to the chains.

I don't think Dish in Atlanta is a chain.  And it is great.  Funky Virginia-Highlands converted gas station.  Rosemary popcorn.  Sesame crusted tuna.

Canoe is good too.  But it is a bit more conventional.

I could add Taqueria del Sol and Everybody's Pizza to the list.

Yep, the food at Canoe was 'safe' for the most part. I love New American Cuisine, food like that found at my fav Tampa place - Mise en Place. Checkout their menu to get an idea - www.miseonline.com. Going there in the next week for dinner.

What I liked most about Canoe was their fabulous scenery. Beautiful and peaceful and the food didn't suck.

Yeah but then they find out the truth and dump you anyway.  

Women with death star resumes Unite!!!!

Why don't y'all just move to Atlanta and date younger men?   

Renee, Rusan's is right on.  That's my sushi joint - da*n good sushi and at a great price too.

Not a thing.  There ought to be more available for dating, if you ask me!

Nope - most everybody does anyway, and more than likely, in my ultimate career path, I'll (hopefully) end up teaching, so more than likely, everyone will end up making more money!

Nyet.  I think the fact that a women is well traveled (even if it is for business) only adds to the intelligence she'd have.  Why would travel matter in the first place?  Who cares?  So she gets to cruise around the country on the company's dime?  Good for her!

Nein.  I hate dominating Jeopardy! in my house.  I need a challenge.  I could always use a second for ruling the local watering hole on Team Trivia nights.  I dig smart chicks.  Besides, people who are smarter than I can usually teach me things that I maybe wouldn't have learned otherwise.       

Non.  I like the fact that a smart girl doesn't need to be taken care of.  A shoulder to cry on, someone to hold her every now and again, yes - everyone needs that.  But the fact that she can take care of herself is precisely one of the reasons why I'd be attracted to her in the first place.  Confidenence - another quality I dig. 

Hmmm - doesn't confidence go along with pushy? 

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Women who are Smart and Confident (and interesteing) will ALWAYS attract me.  More often than not, women who possess these (and a few other) qualities are the kinds of women I enjoy dating. 

I'm really not sure if any of this makes any sense, but take it for what it's worth.

Good luck -

Steve 

Edit follows:

And NO, I wouldn't expect her to take care of me.  I'm too much my own man for that to happen...

If you like Mise en Place, then your tastes are much like mine.  You would like any of the places I named.  The most creative food would be Floataway Cafe, http://www.starprovisions.com/float/.  Bacchanalia and Seegers are well-known stratospheric haute places with prices to match.  Joel is also a foodie sort of place but really fancy decor.   It is in a building called the Borghese that looks like a high-rise bordello. 

Here is a gem I forgot to mention Tierra, http://www.tierrarestaurant.com/menus/.  Husband and wife are chef and hostess. 

Janicewhokeepsmehumble and I tried to go to all the good restaurants in Atlanta but it is hard to keep up.  I am wishing we were back in town.  I didn't even list any of the really great ethnic places.  Instead of a race report, you should do a restaurant review. 

Uberbeginner,

There are men out there who believe the woman's place is in the home and they make no bones about saying so.  There are men who believe women shouldn't work at all, much less make more money than their mate. They're called Southern Baptists. (No disrespect to SB's; it's their dogma, not mine.)

How can you be so incredulous that some men are threatened by women who have higher income? This is primal stuff, reality. It's everywhere!

My exBF was more threatened by my superior intelligence than by my income. He told me that I was smarter than him and that he felt at a disadvantage because of it; that I had the upper hand because I was smarter; that he couldn't control me as he had his ex-wife because she wasn't as smart as him. Suprising, yet stupid, honesty.

Same here Brotha'. I definitely married up. I cheated from Happycow all through college

For me I don't think it has anything to do with being male or female. I don't associate with guys who are caught up with moving up the corporate ladder, so why would I be interested in a woman who was caught up as well?
