what if she asks about my job?

[zack77766]

Ok yea what if a girl asks about your job?

Is it ok if you ask what she does? So if I do that and she says something like I work at McDonalds, would it be cool just to smile mysteriously and say McDonalds how much they pay you? She tells me and I say Ok.. Sounds like peanuts. I just never tell her much i make

 

[HandyAndy]

I dont see anything wrong with you asking what her job is.

"I work as the school mascot..."

My school mascot is a marauder/pirate.

I get tons of looks and stares and all the girls loves a pirate because we all know that pirates get two types of booty.

HB: What do you do?
ME: I get paid for being handsome.
HB: Oh so you're a model?
ME: Umm, no. Actually people stop me in the street and give me money for being so good-looking. (rub chin smugly)
HB: Yeah right!
ME: Seriously, my smiles are worth 5 grand a pop. I could show you now but you'd probably have to put it on lay-away or something
HB: LOL
ME: Yours aint bad either..how about we trade? (smiles)

Teh b!tches love me!

This is a question that plagues me and is plaguing me right now. They all seem to just be rude and come out with this question "What is your job?" "What do you do?" Even though, I've got a good job, I do not want them knowing about it, because it pigeon holes me, i.e. lowers my value.

What are some of Your ingenious responses to this question?

I think it was Style that said that if they ask about your job, you should joke about it first. Make it not very obvious, and then make it more obvious that you're lying as you go along.

You boys make me feel so smooth. Sorry, but that is really sad. Please tell me that you have never used that. That is something that a girl will tell all her friends about. They will laugh and laugh at how lame a pickup that was. See, the idea is to be smooth enough where the conversation flows. That goes for whether you are talking to a guy or a girl.

Then provide something better...Mr. O - so - Smooth.

Boys? How old are you?

I would never make fun of how much someone makes or what they do. Especially someone you don't know well. People often define themselves somewhat by their job so never be insulting if you make a playful joke..

One of the few things that I hate more than canned lines are canned questions. I don't know why people believe that it's something that they'd like to know about a person before they get to know them. I'm wary about women who are insistent on knowing early on. If that's their measurement of qualifying a man, I'm not really interested. I just tell them it's just a job and that I'm happy that it pays the bills; then I ask her a question a bit more substantial.

Well I wasn't sure if D!ck Ramsey was being sarcastic or not but that was a pretty a lame pick up.

I tried that response today on another gothic chick who'd just asked "what do you do for a living?." I say to tha "T," "I get paid for being handsome," and she says, "I get paid for telemarketing."

 

[squirrels]

I tell them the truth...that I work for the government.

And leave it at that.
