When it says chatting detected, copy the message, paste it in the post, and it will post the entire thing.
Then edit the message out, and your post remains, it will say edited. The message means the chatting detected, etc.

Well conversation about the weather gets old real fast. Of course someones gonna ask you what you do. What else you wanna talk about? The price of eggs? 
What about...a persons hobbies,do you have kids?? Do you like sports?? Do you have brothers and sisters?? What's your favorite place to eat?? I can think of a million other things to talk about first.

I know..thats the reason half the people on here are still single  expectations are set to high.I'm talking to a man off and on that teaches college...his take on people who want to talk about careers and how much a person makes is ...Blah.. Blah..Blah..as it should be! If we don't make a connection...then it will be from the lack of chemistry between us,not money of what one does for a living.

If you had any class at all, you would know that this is one of the first questions any adult- despite gender, will asks another adult during the introductory process. Gold diggers on DH are like gold diggers in a coal mine.

Maybe i just meet the gold diggers, but it seems like before a woman gets to know me at all they want to know what I do for a living. If i am wrong, let me know but it seems like after exchanging names, it should not be the next question. Let me know what you think.
You are assuming, not all women ask this as their first question, the question isn't just asked by women, and what a person does for a living could be an interesting topic of conversation to break the ice.
...no money mentioned...

Perhaps getting to know you is difficult? You are a good conversationalist or do you respond with one and two word answers or comments? Try engaging a woman as if your actually interested and for the record I could give a rats a** what you do for a living.

One of the first many questions I ask is "what do u do"? A major turn off if he isn't eager to disclose this info with added enthusiasm. See I have a thing for NOT DAting assassins.

If she asks what you do for a living tell her you're between jobs. It's going to be true, unless you are working your last job ever or have already retired.
The reason women ask about money when they meet you is because they are meeting your money through you. You're just there to make the introduction.

Women want to make sure you can take them out and front the bill..
How many women have you known to take care of the bill when going out the first few times or even just ask "oh i got this, don't worry about it you get the next one."
Its what they call chilvary(most dont even know the true definition) or being nice.
Coming to America is a classic in this case. She didnt care

WTF? It's just a polite conversation topic. Some men care about what they do for a living, some women know that, and its a way to draw a guy out of his shell and into conversation.
Like, really dude? In college the traditional opener was "So what's your major?", now that we're out of school it's "So what do you do for work?".
Would you prefer she ask you what your Zodiac sign is (even though its on your online profile and she should know already)?
Why do you even give a shit that she asks such a question? Do you scrub toilets for a living and you're ashamed of it or something?
It's not always about how much money you make. It could be just polite conversation or her trying to find out if your an office type or outdoorsy type. It could be a round about way to know if you're an educated professional or a hands on tradesmen.
But why do you care that they ask that? What is your real issue, OP?

Ok from my point of view most of the time it's all in how she ask the question. I have had women ask first thing out their mouth what I did for a living and thought nothing of it. However also have had other women ask same question and it set off red flags and loud alarms all over the place. It truly isn't the best first question to ask someone. I really do think that most of the time she is just trying to get a conversation started, nothing more nothing less.
Smart man... I think also, men too can be gold diggers, and she maybe making sure he isn't.

My parents immigrated to Canada and then to the USA. Italian was their first language but they learned to read, write and comprehend English on their own without any type of formal education. However, at times they got confused when talking or writing in English.
I would take them much more seriously than you and day of the week.
That's what happens when you assume. I raised $2000 for a girl with leukemia by drinking that.
So what has spelling like a f**ktard done to help anyone?

Comprehension isn't your strong suit is it? I never said anything about your picture or assumed anything based on your picture.
Are you paranoid or self conscious about your picture? 
And calling people a f**ktard does what to help people? Showing you're an ass? That you need to use profanity to express yourself?
I'm not impressed, sorry.

@ 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.
