I was reading another thread on here about a woman becoming the man she always wanted....she knows several different languages, has trekked across the globe, can fix just about anything herself and has a bit of wear and tear from this rough and tumble lifestyle...I liked the advice one of the members gave which was that there are websites specifically designed to meet people who live active and adventure filled lives. I don't think it is much of a disclosure issue as it is that your accomplishments can be intimidating to the average person. I hope you meet your equally interesting and exciting counterpart one day. Work is work and then there is life. I'm sure it is satisfying work but it is not who you are.

I used to work for a defense contractor where I couldn't discuss my job. I was, however, allow to say that I am an engineer. That was usually enough to satisfy anybody who asked.

If you can't say that, then I would say something like "I'm not allowed to talk about my job, but it isn't as exciting as that makes it sound. On the positive side, I get to travel a lot so it is pretty good."

You get it all out, and you don't have to lie.

Most men have this thing called a job and this funny man called a boss that actually expects them to be at work and not following some girl around the globe. That of course assuming that they want to have this funny thing called money to pay these strange things called bills with and to take you out on a date with.

You can either date and support someone who is unemployed or someone whose job can be done via computer from anywhere where there is an internet connection. Assuming you travel to places where such is the case. Otherwise you'll have to figure out a way to develop a relationship that's strong enough to withstand you being gone.

Some people here are giving you good advice, but it seems to me that you are only looking for validation that all men are just chauvinistic jerks. Sorry, validation denied.
I hadn't noticed the... "They don't seem to want to follow me or my escapdes around the globe. Oh well... I am off and running again soon so, good-bye to eHarmony et al."... line until DancingFool responded to it. This line makes me suspect the OP may simply be someone looking for attention and this story is made up.

No... it's not made up and I am not looking for "validation" or "attention"; I just thought no one else would respond and it was a lame attempt at levity. I do thank everyone for the good advice. I will definitely try that in the future.
