I've been out with those of the following occupations. In chronological order, I've dated an au-pair, to whom I introduced a local musician, who married her and went on to make one of the most popular records of all time, the daughter of the Chief-Of-Staff of a sizeable European state, a corsetiere, an emergency-room physician, and an artist's model, who became my wife

And what of the occupation of those that you’ve dated or partnered – has it ever surprised you? In this matter, the self-styled wouldn’t count as much as the conventionally-employed, whose function would be set by others

Tombody: Perhaps unexpected would be a better description The finding of a partner can be so for either or both of them
It is unusual to talk -write- to a flower so it is difficult to make some statements about the circumstances of the dating because there are not enough elements to consider.
But let us say:
It is unusual, then what? or It is not unusual? then what?
What do you want to say?
I am special and have had very unusual relationships.
We all feel special and we alll have had unusul relatinships because every relationship is not only unusual but "unique".
It can also be surprising when one of the `ship´'s partners discovers that the other is better-tutored or posher than had been expected. And I have experience of that from my working-class upbringing

Are you advertising your credentials for your suitability to 27 year old's? I turned down a Rottweiler just a few weeks ago when it started humping my leg so I know that I can attract unusual types.

I'd prefer to present my credentials, as you put it, to those about my own age, rather than to `27 year old's´, with or without the mis-placed apostrophe. And while I'm at it, may I observe that there seems to be more things Germanic in England than in Germany – I don't think I've seen a Rottweiler since reaching here about four years ago. What ever next for you – to sip an absurdly expensive beer with a label so gothic that even Germans would consider it foreign?
Tombody: I'd rather be a Tombody than a nobody And anything beats coming from Rust City, Ohio
I don't live in the city it's part of my address.I live in the country away from the rusty city called Ohio so to speak.
I could live say in Hemet Ca and use a home address and have a Val Vista phone number.Both places are only about 4 miles apart from one another.It sounds strange but it does happen that way.
That could also happen with zip codes too.
I lived in a neighborhood where children from either side of the street went to different elementary schools and high schools. All the odd house numbers went to one school while the even house numbers whent to a different.That was the most craziest thing I've heard of a school district doing.

I'm not sure I understand your question. You are a stockbroker, and the people you dated are all of a reasonably intelligent to very intelligent range. Is this so unheard of in your neck of the woods? Are you wanting validation for finding an interesting variety of dates, or simply asking if some of us see this variety as unconventional? (I do not). Seems fairly run of the mill stuff- that- stories- are- made-of. I trust you are happy with your wife. Don't dig too deep--just be happy and thankful, and care for her.
