If I'm meeting you, within the first week of us "talking" "dating" I will be asking what do you for a living...that's what adults do...I could understand why you wouldn't want women basing their opinions of you off of your career...I would only find it strange if she's asking you "how much do you?" when you are just getting to know her
The next question usually from "what do you do" is "how much do you make".

I lied to this chick that I was a cashier at walmart to see her reaction...she did a 180 after I said work as a network engineer....can't fukk with broads like that.



Wow I wonder what reaction you would get if you were a real engineer, like electrical or mechanical who actually had to study engineering.

I wouldn't know..because I would never ask that, but there are some women who are bold and brazen enough to think that it's their business, to know, within the first few weeks of meeting you.

Be honest, would you date a girl that is a cashier at Walmart or McDonalds, that is not a college/higher educational student? I'm sure u would want someone with some kind of drive in life.

so if a fine handsome nikka like myself approached you wearing his mickyd work gear

deep down you would look down on him..its okay its natural to feel that way

I've never seen a pic of you so I don't even know if I'd be attracted to you lol but I have a career so I would like to date someone who is driven...if all he aspires to be is a McDee's cashier, then I would keep it moving, but if he has a degree/is going through hard times and is just working there to get back on his feet, no I wouldn't look down on him.

I don't come from money - my parents came here as immigrants and worked their way up, so I don't judge people for making an honest living.

People ask what you do for a living precisely because it does place you in a box.
Fairly or unfairly.

But also, people are terrible at showing interest in others, and asking what people do for a living is just the most common and easy question to ask.

What you do for a living will be asked before what you enjoy, where you've been, what are your goals, what were your childhood dreams, where do you come from, etc?
Just about any truly meaningful question that gets to the heart of who you are will only be asked after how you make your money.

The question itself might not be terrible, but I suspect many take issue with when it is asked.

As for the thread............When I told girls i was an engineer or in school for engineering rarely did they care. When I tell them I take pictures for vice and vogue magazine they give me the :whoo: face. I get it though, its a status thing. A successful photographer is seen as way more important then the typical working man and its almost like....you should be impressing me cause i actually do fun shyt and get paid for it.

It is pretty annoying. It's peoples way of putting you into a box. For example if you say Cashier at McDonalds vs Law Student, right away you've now changed in the persons eyes, before they even got to meet you, get to know your character. Apparently how you make cash is what defines who you are and what your characteristics are like.
Yeah it's sad at the same time it might be something that's hardwired into a woman. Just looking for a provider.

LOL we were discussing this very same thing in the 'quick gems....' thread. You can always tell whenever a woman is just making conversation or if she is on some gold digger shyt. I mentioned that Prince Akeem was right to say he was a goat herder to gauge whether Lisa was for real or not. But most dudes flash money around and then wonder why they attract these kinds of broads.

Personally as long as a woman can look after herself financially and isn't a dependent, her occupation could be throwing frisbees to dogs for all I give a shyt. If she asks me too many questions about my career and my home then she's already shown me her hand and I know not to deal with her at all.

Females like this get the :camby:
