She sounds very low maintenance to me.
You didn't see her . Everyone she met, "can I have your business card, can I do a speech at you next conference, have you seen my products, are you interested in ...."
It was exhausting. If she had an off button, I would have flicked it. But she is hot and very smart. I'd guess my IQ is about 120 or so. I dunno. Never had it done. But she'd be 160+. I think after a while, she'd be bored of me.

But there is no way she would be low maintenance. "Have you done the washing up? What about the ironing?  You haven't calculated pi to 300 digits like I asked ".

I dunno. Like I say ... hot but probably a bit out of my league.

By the way I'm only sharing this with you because I just got home and I have been drinking a lot.

That's just her work self. I bet outside of it she would be as harmless as a puppy.

Ask her out to lunch or something harmless. If she says no, it's no biggie. You'll be sorry by next year if you don't even try.

I suspect that I would be a constant source of disappointment to such a woman

You would be a constant source of disappointment to any woman, so we can't go by that.

Ask her out.  Just because she's a genius workaholic doesn't mean she's looking for the same.  Its likely she wants someone far from her.  Someone who she can relax and have a good time around.  Perhaps even a trophy husband.

Point is, you don't know what she wants until you ask.  So ask her out and make her laugh.
Gone.

I think she will be high maintenance.
Irrelevant.  What makes you think that she could put up with you long enough for that to become an issue?  Just ask her out before she comes to her senses.

Hmm, I don't know. She sounds like an alpha woman. They're usually just obsessed with their career and will always hate men a little. She might sleep with you but she'd  be too crazy to settle down.

Still, you're pretty desperate yourself.

Career obsessed people generally don't take the time to settle down, regardless of gender. And they are also generally very high strung.

And every really driven female I've worked with or known has been at least a little bitter toward men. But maybe that's just more an American problem. Running businesses and upper management is still largely a boys' club. Having some resentment about it is pretty natural.

I agree with this. From experience the most sexist people I've come across have been higher management women.

I've seen a few but there's one in particular who hated most women at her grade and thought most of the men above her were sexist. She would also favour any women below her.

Ok, enough.

Thork, she's definitely out of your league. In fact, just about every woman I've ever met is out of your league.
I'm an ok looking guy thank you very much. And I am funny and smart and am honest and loyal.  >:(

Ask her out to lunch or something harmless. If she says no, it's no biggie. You'll be sorry by next year if you don't even try.
Ok, so I e-mailed her after a google to get her work address and she texted back. Now possibly because of the posts I have made on this website, God hates me very much. I think he's a round earther and he made all the immigrants and steroids users that I hate. So anyway he decided to stick his heavenly sandal up my arse again. I received the text and it said "Hi <insert real name>... " and I swiped to open it. At which point iOS7 fucking deleted it. I never read it, I don't have her number and that text has gone.
So I don't know if she is interested or not. I then had to send a second e-mail saying that I'm an idiot and can't use a mobile phone and can she resend the message. She has not yet done so. Jonny Ive continues to ruin my life.

You would be a constant source of disappointment to any woman, so we can't go by that.
You weren't supposed to agree, Twat.

I think my IQ was 113,000,000
It is widely considered that you must have an IQ of at least 125 to be a genius with 150 being the preferred mark.

Perhaps even a trophy husband.
I'm broke and you know what I look like. Trophy husband?

Just ask her out before she comes to her senses.
I have. God is trying to ruin it for me.  :(

Oh yeah, don't forget a regular shirt over your tank top undershirt.
She's not a muscled middle-aged man looking for a twink.

Hmm, I don't know. She sounds like an alpha woman. They're usually just obsessed with their career and will always hate men a little. She might sleep with you but she'd  be too crazy to settle down.
This woman wants babies. Yesterday. In fact she was very forward about that over a few beers. I could see her looking at me like I was a turkey baster. 

Still, you're pretty desperate yourself.
Thanks.  ::)

Most blokes probably don't ask her out because they ask exactly the same questions you're asking; they get scared.

Ask her out!! Stop being a wimp.
She is at least as good looking as me (probably nicer), definitely without question smarted than me, and has way more money/success than I do. I do think if I had a relationship with such a woman, I'd end up being like on of those male angler fish where the female absorbs the male and the only thing left is a small pair of testicles that gets used for breeding with.

Well Thork wants babies.
She might want a family too, but Thork might have to be the stay at home dad.
She hasn't even replied to my e-mail, butassuming it ever got that far, this is a likely scenario. Back to the angler fish.  :(

Thork, under no circumstances, should be allowed to procreate.

And a lot of upper management men are sexist too. It's just a very competitive environment in general.
Without being too patronising about it, you have only left university a few months ago. You have never had a proper job or worked with many people in upper management positions. You have been meeting middle managers. Middle mangers are usually a bit smarter than the people they manage but have poor people skills. Upper managers and and I mean people who earn $100k+ are usually lovely people. They are people who can influence others, make great speeches and make time for others. The only exception to this rule is when the ungrateful child of a company's owner gets a job. I'm generalising as much as you now, but the really big earners in my opinion are usually lovely. That's why they earn big.

I left Uni almost a year ago and I do have a real salary job. I work directly with middle management but have definitely met upper management. I know one high grade female that I haven't interacted with but everyone who does is scared of her because she's so direct and intense. But I was friends with a couple really intensely career driven women who are currently getting Master's degrees, one of which who is a major lesbian feminist going for the FBI. The male managers that I don't interact with along with the middle managers all get together to watch sports, hunt, or play golf. They're not terrible people but it is a definite boys' club.  And of course they're qualified for their jobs, that doesn't change the fact that it is still a competitive environment.
