Jasonp··on My Wife Is Telling Me to Have Drinks with Other Women (maybe You Should, Too)

Wow, that timing.

I think it would be great for my health if my industry didn't run on alcohol.

Per my comment above, I am more concerned in this case with unconsciously limiting our opportunities for partnerships, deal, etc, to businesses run by other men just because the current norm frowns on having a drink with women.

The point I am trying to make is a little broader: assume that a lot of business and networking does happen over drinks already. In my business it does. There's nothing wrong with coffee, lunch, etc. It's just that if I am going to do a lot of business over drinks in the afternoon or evening, it seems unfair to limit those opportunities to other men.

True, mentoring is necessarily one-on-one.

Fair point. It should be rephrased to mean, a much smaller gap than is commonly understood to exist.

I paraphrased from the event, and then added the data w/o double checking. Shame on me.

I think this underlines the point rather well -- it's SO improbable that sharing a drink is anything but romantic that you guys assume a divorce in 6months?

FWIW, my wife (Monica Guzman) is commenting actively on FB thread about this here. https://www.facebook.com/moniguzman/posts/759642049127?notif...

It's very unclear whether that's a .LT or a .IT - Might be worth looking for a new URL.
