The men are to busy 'investing' in women by buying them drinks. :^)

Women are better with money is a joke! They get the money after the man dies. Men shop less and really do not care for bargains or spending money at the mall. The credit card was invented for women and how smart is that?

Women do buy more homes, they buy them quicker and are easier to deal with. Women outnumber men as my clients 3-1 so your numbers ring true to me.

Mature physically yes. I am not sure about the mental aspect.

Susan, you've really started something with this post. 

Susan...  I think Rob left this same comment in my post in regards to this.  Top Trendsetters to watch in your upcoming markets...... Part 2 ... Single Women

In regards to your post, you do make some good points and most are true.

And I am with Rob, a lot of my money was invested in women, leaving me poor...  ;o(

Rob: "dumb boys...."

Eric: We each have our own personal experience. Almost every guy I've ever dated was not as good with money as myself. They were too busy like Rob - wasting money on boozes....lol

& just to comment, men represent way more of my clientele - go figure...

Ava: Yeah I see that. Oh well :) - I don't know why you didn't say more here though?!?

Jeff: Thanks & hopefully you learned from your mistakes.

lol...my mistake?  damn if I do and damn if I don't.  lol  meaning, getting involved with women.....  ;o)   anyhoo

Whatever the reason, this is a great market to work with. Single women today are much more savy than than ever before. Many of them are quite financially successful before they are thirty. They have wide and varied interests and there are a lot of ways to market to them.  I find the health food store, the gym and the local Starbucks are all good places to get their attention. An interesting conversation, an exchange of business cards and a sincere desire to make a connection can go a long ways toward establishing a sale or a referral.

For several years now women have had a significant lead over men in obtaining either college degrees or graduate degrees or both.  So this is not surprising.  In the DC area where I work probably 3/4 women are type "A".  haha.  It is cool though as it reflects on the level playing field that exists in the United States.  Oh, that will open up the dialogue, eh?  Although if I was a male activist and a member of MAG (male association of guys...sort of like the NAG org.), I'd come out swinging about how the cards are stacked against males  in our society and this proves it!#!#!  

I think the graduate degrees and home buyer leads by women show that a lot more men need to grow up.
