I like men with beautiful brown skin, black hair and light-colored eyes. I also prefer men who are not hairy, so I tend to be very attracted to American Indians, Hawaiians, Latinos, etc., but I have seen men who fit my definition of attractive from all racial/ethnic groups.

We don't fire our employees before retirement, but we have what's called a 'buy out' program for long term employees because its cheaper to give them a cash settlement and have them retire early or find a job elsewhere so the organization can hire younger employees at lower salaries with less benefits. My professional level co-workers and I average about 50-60 hours a week. It is frowned upon if we actually try to leave the office at 5:00 p.m. Also, I have not had a 2 week vacation since 1994. Usually, one week is the standard in our office, although we all have 'leave time' well in excess of two weeks, we usually 'sell' our leave time for cash, because our office is always 'too busy' or 'understaffed' to allow anyone more than a week at a time. Research also shows that more and more Americans take 'working' vacations. When I take a few days off, I usually have to leave my cell phone number with my boss 'in case I'm needed.' Americans take great pride in their work and derive much of their self-esteem from their jobs. In social conversations, one of the first questions you will hear is 'so, what do you do?' We always have to be 'doing', our day planners have to be filled or we don't feel important. So, on some level we must enjoy it. I was always told it was called our 'Protestant Work Ethic' A lot of it has to do with our immigrant roots. We came to this country poor and struggled to make a life in a new world. It took industriousness and hard work which has been transformed into an integral component of American culture. In short, enjoy what you have in Finland, 'cause you'll have to work your butt off in the U.S.!

I believe we all choose relationships with people who are at the same level of dysfunction as ourselves, i.e. our relationships mirror the 'issues' we need to work out. So the question is: why are you attracting/or are attracted to those type of men where control seems to be the issue? I also speak my mind without hesitation but am not typically referred to as 'bitchy' (lacking prudence, diplomacy, tact, maybe) so you may be doing more than merely 'speaking your mind.' I'm independent, opinionated, etc. I am also 6'1", which adds a whole new dimension to the male insecurity deal. Six years ago, I married a man who has all the same traits, which makes us fiercely competitive. He calls me a 'bull dog,' I say he is 'hard-headed,' but in the end, we have tremendous love and respect for each other and our individual strengths and talents. He never tries to dominate me, nor is he a milksop to be trodden over. Most importantly, we strive for honest communication (microscopic truths) that tries to address the message behind the message that is so often the problem in male/female relationships. There are many men out there who appreciate and respect strong, independent women, but you might have some things to work on in yourself before you find them.
