Given that I am an engineer, I know you lie.
OK, there is one hot engineer with Pioneer in Midland, but she’s married and has a couple kids I think.

I know lots of people in Odessa, but they are oilfield types — engineers, drillers, whatever.
No medical people; I go to El Paso/Alamagordo/Sante Fe for medical care.
I do have companies come and do OSHA piss tests after accidents and random. They are out of Midland or Odessa. Not particularly enamored with them, but I use whomever the Operator requires me to use.
Housing is going to be a problem for you.

Jacobs (JE Merrit) is setting up a hiring office in Odessa, we will be embedded in the hiring office. Technically we would only service the Jacobs people. I will have to make some trips there to recruit a provider, medic and admin.
What I am able to accomplish sometimes is I can set up separate contracts so that my staff there can go collect D&A for other companies.
Sometimes the oilfield types know the medical types or are married to them

I agree…
Hot, good in bed, and sane are like the three points of a triangle.
Unfortunately people typically only come with two points…

Almost married to a nurse practitioner in El Paso, but most here know how that went. Ha.
I know a really good large animal veterinarian in Odessa. That should work for the average rig hand.

Stay, eat, shop in Midland. Seriously.
Odessa combines the charm of Texas City, South Houston, and Pasadena with the safety of Juarez and the scenery of Pecos.

women are generally attracted to the dangerous man who could whoop some ass in a fight (protection instinct).
and are generally not attracted to the dangerous man who could kill you in your sleep and not loose a wink of shuteye over it (protection instinct).
women are attracted to the dangerous man who does crazy stunts in his car (excitement, bravery) but not usually to the guy who does crazy stunts in his car with women or children in the car (protection instinct.)
anyways i’m just talking out of my ass here, i was going to delete it but then i figured hey i made all the effort to type it up.
Women are attracted to dominance, which can be demonstrated in a number of different ways, but being physically imposing is always the easiest to spot.

I agree with this, depending on the meaning assigned to the word “dominance.” If it means mastery of self and the environment, then yes.
Going back to the question of being doomed to attract psycho women, I think that reasonably attractive people draw all sorts of unsavory characters. The question is does one become involved with them. If so, then one is stuck dealing with whatever the undesired elements are. If not, one sails on by without having to care about the other person’s shortcomings.
Yucky men seem to be in greater supply in the world, generally speaking, than high quality men. I don’t let the yucky ones or ones I’m not certain about do things for or with me that might indicate my interest.
The sexual attraction others feel is not my concern.
What quality is, is subjective in a lot of ways for men viewing women I think. One dudes crazy bitch is another guys dream girl.
Women seem to always want most of the same traits in men… It almost seems like we are supposed to have herem structures. You want a tall stable guy with decent to great looks and a lot of money.
Not that I like the idea, but all this talk about quality men and women seeking the same qualities points to that at first glance. Look at our closest relatives… I’m more open minded to this idea considering the demand for quality men and most men being shitty in your opinion. A shitty man is a shitty man, right?

Are you talking to me? If so, I didn’t say most men are shitty, I said that yucky men are in greater supply generally speaking. Maybe my world is different - very possibly so. Also highly likely that I am a snob. But my point was that I don’t have to go out with them. And certainly “yucky men” are not every guy who isn’t tall, decent to great looking, with a lot of money.
I also dispute that all women want the same thing. Sure, on the surface it may sound the same (“smart, funny, blah blah”) but the particulars of that vary greatly. What is funny to me, and to the man who is right for me? Fitness and athleticism can be a great strain if there’s not agreement. What sort of television is acceptable. How sex works - rough, loving, kinky, missionary.
I also think you’re deluded if you don’t think women very often go for the male equivalent of “crazy bitch.” Charming, abusive men have their appeal to some women. The foolish ones.

I’m saying there’s a certain archetype of man. I don’t recall the name of the study but there is strong co-relation of men of power being tall and wealthy. If women tend be anthropologically geared towards being attracted to the types that would be both good protectors (tall) and good providers (tall being tied to wealth), that physical type fits those basic bills that are in demand for a woman. The archetype is that the guy is for the most part stable and not a pussy. So you see, it seems pretty easy for a woman. She looks for a tall guy who has money, that is decent to incredible looking (attractiveness)(tallness)(money) they all sort of link together in a neater way than women do for us.
I think all women are pretty much attracted to this sort of man more or less. Kinda like guys are generally attracted to a woman with certain body ratio’s. The thing is for us is the archetype/ personalities of women are pretty out there, and the dynamic of sex between men and women is such that we don’t command what is in demand. Women do. You are the gatekeepers to sex.
If you want a certain type, and archetype and there are very few of those men, and men will pretty much have sex with anything so long as it isn’t wrong, why not have herems? All it would take is a little adjustment to traditional western ethics. When we compare our dynamics to primates, if we are honest we will observe a lot of similarities. The way beta males have higher levels of anxiety and disease, etc. We are just smart chimps.
Maybe it’s a blessing, maybe a curse, but crazy women have never really liked me and I really don’t have time for them either. Then again, I kind of make it a point to avoid or ignore women who make it a point to draw attention to themselves by using bad behaviors. The loud mouthed, making a scene, always have to have some kind of something going to draw suckers in don’t deserve the time of day in my opinion.

Yeah, but some of us only attract crazy bitches, or very large ones, or ones that hear you have a big one. :S

What you see is what you get. When an attention whore is doing jumping jacks in a spandex body sock while pledging allegiance to your flag poll you’re missing a dozen normal women who just grabbed their keys and are running for the door.
