Women on the other hand, no matter how "un-worldy" one may be..A woman will always have the one thing that will always have value to barter with..without being crude, I think you can all guess that skillset.
particularly something for which there will be lots of competition to give it away before the next woman tries to barter hers. Such a woman with only that skill set is " High Maintenance" and not worth my other skills.

I'm kinda your jack of all trades,master of none.
But when I have people coming out of the wood work asking me to fix this,help them with that,
I think I have that covered.
Sometimes I wish I didn't have that skill!
They are driving me crazy,but they do pay me in beer!

Daytomann,

This is really dumb and ignorant. You never offer a knowledgeable man such a high maintenance item as a skill ..and particularly something for which there will be lots of competition to give it away before the next woman tries to barter hers. Such a woman with only that skill set is " High Maintenance" and not worth my other skills. These are not the same or even equitable skills. Only a man can be this naturally stupid..for women are not.
A woman and men both need real skills...not sex. In hard times it will become quickly apparent that anyone only with sex as a skill will be high maintenance and an extreme liability.
As I am often prone to stating...give a man a little sports, cheerleaders,and alcohol and his brain wave activity flat lines.
In a SHTF situation..lots of high maintenance women will be willing to give it away for a few more minutes of easy living for themselves and their children with someone else assuming the risks.
The sad truth about it today is that there are just as many high maintenance males out here raised primarily by women, television, movies, and peer group drivel. And they too will be high maintenance. Knowledgeable women are not looking to underwrite these high maintenance types with "any": of their skills and particularly as a career move..good times or bad.
Some of the posters have expressed these phenomenon in different ways...but they have expressed the same.
No regrets ever, Interesting posts you have made here..and on the womans survival thread.
Thanks to all for their posts,
Orangetom

Wow, even as a dude, have to say you seem pretty sexist sitting over there. People can learn. In a true SHTF situation, high maintence people would quickily learn that they have to pull their weight, even if it is only a little bit. And even practitioners of the oldest profession could learn other usefull skills that are low work, making life easier for those doing the heavy lifting (not just literally)

Was thinking this. While I can do construction, I am a Roofer by trade with knowledge in carpentry. I can defend be it with guns or hand to hand. The thing is and Lets market here eventually other will come knowing the same things. Bartering is about what you can do sure but if someone else can do the same how important are you? Be sure your skill aren't so shared that someone can make you so mutable.This seems cruel but if it was me in charge I would train in a skill hard to find yet still needed..

The shame of it is real. Best bet women have would bbe to hide they were women. That is the only safety.I am male And though I would like to say I was different honestly I can't Cus we are not there. Women in general are as smart and as strong as men. Today most women are more then men.
