True. The standard for an effective salesman is that one gets sales volume In some industries, if one convinces one in ten of potential customers (so it is with sales by telephone) one is a success.
Quote:I don't think you can describe woman offended by his remarks "old hags." I think lots of women would be offended by YOUR remark.
If one truly respects women, then one will recognize them for things other than their sexuality... like character, competence, work ethic, etc... on which you would judge men. My judgment of a man who thinks it acceptable to grab female crotches without her consent is simple: he is an abuser. Just because one does not want her as a sexual partner does not mean that she is worthless.
Add to that, I see something terribly wrong with someone nearly sixty years old insisting on having sexual relationships with young-adult women. "Half plus seven"?
He has trivialized some vile, offensive acts against women. One need not be an 'old hag' to find it offensive. If I had a daughter and heard her boyfriend talk as Trump did about crotch-grabs I would warn her to stay away from him... and I would tell that boyfriend that he is to stay away from my daughter.
Of course I would have taught her that someone who does bad things to females of any kind is completely inappropriate as a partner.
