Men as Virtual Assistants.

Virtual assistants seem to be primarily female. But what is a virtual assistant? Someone that helps from a virtual location I suppose right?

Then why can't more men break into this field and create a virtual practice of their own? I have started to provide virtual seervices under the title virtual assistant just recently. But really, I've been a virtual assistant my entire career. While working as a software sales rep I telecommuted to my office each day and worked virtually to create business for my company.

Within the last year I have begun consulting media companies on seach engine optimization and social networking stretegies. I worked virtually on websites such as www.SpecialEvents.com, www.MeetingsNet.com and www.DeliciousLivingMag.com.

So in reality, I am a virtual assistant. So my question is why don't more men carry this title? I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Hi Jason. Very unique blog. For me personally I think most virtual assistants that are female tend to be stay-at-home mothers - maybe? Not many men play "mommy" mode in today's society, but I do wish there were more male VAs out there!! More power to you!!

Those are some pretty fancy sites man. Anyway, I think it's a matter of semantics when it comes to the term virtual assistant. I think men are just too ego filled to be considered an assistant or whatever. Truth is, I'll call myself whatever the customer wants me to call myself as long as we can do business together!

Anyone hear me??

Interesting post, Jason. I'd be interested in learning just how many male VAs there are out there. Maybe someone should do a survey.
