"Are you married? Do you have children?"
Why are these so often the first questions we ask women we meet? Even at work in the office, I've often had these questions asked when I meet someone for the first time. Surprisingly, I still get asked these questions a lot by other women at business networking events.
Why is a women's worth judged on whether she's married and has children? Why is this even relevant in a business environment?
I've always felt these questions were irrelevant, personal questions. Really, save those questions for the woman you're trying to pick up at the bar. Then I'll excuse it, because it's actually relevant in that situation.
Outside of that, find better questions to ask a woman when you're getting to know her. I do!
