@ OP.
-This data is essential for the emotional cost/benefit analysis women run early on in the relationship building process. It's just a filter to keep from making dumb choices.

-I hate to brake it to you but guys do it too. We tend to run the data later on in the relationship building process but most of the time we're already in too deep. This leads to the proverbial male freak out when you start catching real feelings right around month 4; plus or minus 5 weeks depending on your emotional maturity and predisposition.

-If it bothers you then take comfort in the fact that men have been
setting the bar progressively lower for the past two decades. Just check the data on new arrest records, high school drop out rates, college enrollment, professional career path statistics or any resent social behavior studies.

-You don't have to be a doctor
anymore. Being gainfully employed
is enough for most women who
have been dating for any real
amount of time. But that's just I'm
my humble opinion.




If I don't ask a man what he does then I'm just not interested in him at all.

I know I'm pretty sure I'm a gold digger for talking about that, according to the men on the forms but I don't care what is said here either. Cause I'm just not that interested.

It is genetic, thank God. Women have babies. It was in all the papers. They need to know that the make that they choose can feather the nest and take care of business while they take care of furthering the man's clan.

Sure, all meets are not about mating and marriage, but as Savona says, asking what I do is a sign that she is interested in me and at least subliminally "qualifying" me as her Alpha male.

I love it.

The only guys who resent it, are bust outs and losers, any way. We become what ever we are or do for a living, partly, if not solely to attract Savona.

Your profession gives insight to the type of person you are and your general interest. Some might ask as a way to get to know you. For some, it's just to clarify that you have a job. For others...they just want a man with a thick wallet.

So you admit that you only date within a certain income level? Kudos to you. Most women here will deny it until they are blue in the face. Most women here state that they will fall in love with and marry a guy that makes minimum wage. I wish more women were as honest as you.

What happened to all the nice guys?

See, if you think back, really hard, you might vaguely remember a Platonic guy pal who always seemed to want to spend time with you. He'd tag along with you when you went shopping, stop by your place for a movie when you were lonely but didn't feel like going out, or even sit there and hold you while you sobbed and told him about how horribly the (other) guy that you were f**king treated you.

At the time, you probably joked with your girlfriends about how he was a little puppy dog, always following you around, trying to do things to get you to pay attention to him. They probably teased you because they thought he had a crush on you. Given that his behavior was, admittedly, a little pathetic, you vehemently denied having any romantic feelings for him, and buttressed your position by claiming that you were "just friends." Besides, he totally wasn't your type. I mean, he was a little too short, or too bald, or too fat, or too poor, or didn't know how to dress himself, or basically be or do any of the things that your tall, good-looking, fit, rich, stylish boyfriend at the time pulled off with such ease.

Eventually, your Platonic buddy drifted away, as your relationship with the boyfriend got more serious and spending time with this other guy was, admittedly, a little weird, if you weren't dating him. More time passed, and the boyfriend eventually cheated on you, or became boring, or you realized that the things that attracted you to him weren't the kinds of things that make for a good, long-term relationship. So, now, you're single again, and after having tried the bar scene for several months having only encountered players and douche bags, you wonder, "What happened to all the nice guys?"

Well, you passed him by.

You ignored the nice guy. You used him for emotional intimacy without reciprocating, in kind, with physical intimacy. You laughed at his consideration and resented his devotion. You valued the aloof boyfriend more than the attentive "just-a-" friend. Eventually, he took the hint and moved on with his life. He probably came to realize, one day, that women aren't really attracted to guys who hold doors open; or make dinners just because; or buy you a Christmas gift that you mentioned, in passing, that you really wanted five months ago; or listen when you're upset; or hold you when you cry. He came to realize that, if he wanted a woman like you, he'd have to act more like the boyfriend that you had. He probably cleaned up his look, started making some money, and generally acted like more of an a**hole than he ever wanted to be.

Fact is, now, he's probably getting laid, and in a way, your ultimate rejection of him is to thank for that. And I'm sorry that it took the complete absence of "nice guys" in your life for you to realize that you missed them and wanted them. Most women will only have a handful of nice guys stumble into their lives, if that.

So, if you're looking for a nice guy, here's what you do:

1.) Build a time machine.
2.) Go back a few years and pull your head out of your ass.
3.) Take a look at what's right in front of you and grab a hold of it.

I suppose the other possibility is that you STILL don't really want a nice guy, but you feel the social pressure to at least appear to have matured beyond your infantile taste in men. In which case, you might be in luck, because the nice guy you claim to want has, in reality, shed his nice guy mantle and is out there looking to unleash his cynicism and resentment onto someone just like you.

If you were five years younger.

So, please: either stop misrepresenting what you want, or own up to the fact that you've f**ked yourself over. You're getting older, after all. It's time to excise the bullshit and deal with reality. You didn't want a nice guy then, and he certainly doesn't f**king want you, now.

Sincerely,

A Recovering Nice Guy


Yeah dating gold diggers is expensive that is why I avoid them.

I ask that as one of the first questions because I want to find out if they will actually have time to spend with me...some jobs take over lives and it's hard to get any time with a person...It doesn't always have to do with how much money they make, but how much time they are going to have available to share.

According to most here, it does. Somehow, they can tell all about you if your job is to flip burgers or make coffee or program data for Microsoft or work at a bank etc. It's all BS. I have already challenged posters here by giving them 4 jobs from 4 of my different friends or friends parents and for them to tell me all about them as a person. Only one poster took up the challenge and she failed miserably.

What you do for a living tells a lot about you.
Are you an auto mechanic? You get down and dirty without too much danger, reasonable salary potential, may be a car nut etc...
Do you work with computers? Probably nerdy with the expectation of nerdy things.
Doctors/lawyers are self explanatory.
Police officer lives a dangerous life... some women are attracted to it.

The job you do says more about you than just how much you make. It tells what kind of life style you live, what a good portion of your interests are etc. This is what you chose to do for yourself. I have no problem with being asked this question and am often asked by people I am not even considering dating.

So then why not ask what their hobbies are or what they like to do for fun? Are you telling me that everyone is at a job or career that they love and want to talk about when they leave and it tells you everything about them? Please, we all know it's mostly to ballpark your income.

Probably the same reason I ask women what they do for a living: genuine curiosity, small talk, the understanding that someone's choice of job or career says a lot about her/him, and, quite often, suspicion about what "self-employed" or "don't say" really mean (I'm betting that, far more often than not, it means that she's either unemployed, or making a dishonest living somehow. I've never really been given a reason to believe otherwise.)

Depends if the Burger flipper is passionate about his work or not. A living is a living.

You guys get sensitive when the first questions ask for particular physical measurements and credit ratings

Because women gauge how much you make and decide if you might be worth it or not, the burger flipper versus the lawyer, who do you think is going to win that one?

If the guy is a jerk it doesnt matter what he does for a living or how much he makes

Why such hostility? You want to know if she has a job so why not just ask her instead of asking her what do you do? It's a simple question geez.

honestly i think its a womans way of starting a interesin convo. Then again iv ran into the gold digger type as well but all around their tryin to figure out if your a guy that is tryin to make somethin of himself, and if he will be able to support a family in the future instead of constantly workin dead end jobs livin paycheck to paycheck correct me if im wrong.

It's a typical question guys ask us too. It's probably one of the top 5 questions everyone asks. It's to make conversation and to make sure they are employed... Legally and it's legit.

^^^Again, then why not simply ask them, do you have a job? If they say yes, ask, is it legal? Simple and to the point and no one is able to ballpark anyones income.

If a date asked me whether what I did was legal I'd be kind of creeped out and wondering how often she met with people that said "no" to that question....

Me too! And when you ask if they have a "job" vs. "what do you do" it makes you look like you're assuming they don't have one.


^^^ @hbguy

I don't ever ask them what they do for a living first because they always ask me first right after "how are you" so I get cut off anyways.
