Your Card

THE PRODUCTIVE MAN

This man works extremely hard and as a result there is no shortage of money in his life. If you are interested in him on an emotional or personal level, you are bound to be impressed by his practical approach to life. There is something very sexy about a man who is grounded. And he is.

Whatever the connection you have to this man, remember that he will be going through a productive, intensive work phase when you encounter him. There is unlikely to be much time off – at least until the job is finished and the next amount of money is through. His fierce concentration is for work and money, not play.

Because of the nature of his chosen field, he has to do his job thoroughly and completely, or risk letting his standards slip. Beyond the actual engagement with making money, though, there is a deep connection with his own talent, his own skill, his own abilities. It’s true to say he could happily lose himself in his work.

If you intend to have any kind of intimate relationship with this man – or lead him in the direction of property, commitment or family – you have to remember his limitations. Even though his current preoccupation with productivity may not last, it still requires enormous faith, confidence and energy to divert him.

If you are a strictly all-play girl (and almost no work) then he is unlikely to blend in with your lifestyle. However if you work as hard as him – and are also preoccupied with processing pay cheques – then there may come a point when you both have to wonder what comes first, the relationship or the job.

Ideally, this man will be grounded enough to understand that one cannot labour forever, or go on counting the cash at the expense of having a life. If he is smart enough to know the difference between workaholism and materialism – and a conscious decision to work and earn for a time – you’ll be in good company.
