Obviously.. would you not give preferential treatment to hot girls if you met them at a party or at work?

Who is talking about losing one's ability to perform these tasks?
This is about freeing up more time for yourself to focus on activities that add more value to your life and your net worth. It's an entirely +EV proposition. Why do managers hire secretaries instead of typing letters and answering phone calls themselves? Do you think their companies allow them to do so purely to stroke their egos?
And why would getting hired help necessarily result in losing one's ability to do anything? Do managers with secretaries lose the ability to type? If you live in a big city and commute by taxi to save time, does it mean you lose the ability to drive?

I guess it depends what you want really, and many of you guys seem really bad at working that out...
How in the world is this related to lack of self worth?? You're not making any sense I'm afraid.
I hire a housekeeper and send my laundry to the drycleaners to save myself time and hassle, not because I am consciously trying to distance myself from the average person's life. I treat my hired help with a great deal of courtesy and respect because they are honest hard working people and above all because they are making a positive difference in my life. There is no element of condescenion whatsoever, our dealings are professional and based on a business contract between myself and the employee in question. Why is this so hard to grasp?
