Mai's laughing at the idea of dating either a trader or a sales person

A friend of mine who is a securities trader sent me this article The Truth About Dating Traders. He tells me the article is pretty much spot on and describes him to a tee! The below point especially, he:

• has a permanent hunched back from checking prices every 2 minutes from his Blackberry
• smells like an old ash tray
• uses a financial model to find his partner
• works 14 hours  day and sleeps 4

For those of you who are traders how correct is this article.

After reading this article I looked at my own profession – a saleswoman. Come to think of it we share many of the same traits. Ok so if the article above warns you about dating a trader the one below will warn you about dating someone who’s in sales!

They are generally:

• still working
• always hooked to their smart phones and emails
• never at home, always travelling for business (the advantage is if  they’re a Platinum Frequent Flier, you will automatically get a gold card for life)
• very moody, especially if they have not made their yearly target number. He/She can be found in front of a fax machine waiting for a purchase orders

Both Mr Trader and Ms Sales don’t care whether you actually loves him or just his money as long as you look hot

I’d like to know what you guys think, for those of you who are dating/married to either, please let me know how accurate this is
