Those aren't ideal jobs. Simply because of health hazard and the level of problems you may face. However, my father used to have those jobs. And while he made great pay and helped to support. After seeing what affected my parents, I am not keen on smelling a man like my dad. It is no offense to any of them. If you're not keeping yourself clean or safe. No, go.
Besides dating random men your not friends with or know anything about is a no-no for me. You shouldn't be afraid of a woman's job or income unless she does something immoral. However, if you're a city-worker, city workers get paid extremely well depending on seniority and stuff. Forman is even more, but it can be stressful. However, if you wanted to get to know her, don't date her until you befriend her and understand who she is. A woman who is interested in knowing you isn't turned off by your work, but how you carry yourself with it. Unless of course, it's what I had said prior. Now, if they're judging that you don't make enough, that has to be their personal opinion. Those jobs make at least $100,000 and with experience and more jobs about $130,000. The only problem is you often don't see that money and you get taxed a LOT. So if you have 401K and pension, all o that is going there besides the difference for benefits and beneficiary if you have depends and or married.
The only thing I can tell you is that it depends on the woman and whether or not she holds similar titles or jobs. Simply this, be somebody who is more than just your job. It's again not ideal because of the health hazards. But as long as you make decent money which you do, many would not bat an eye.
I don't think of someones job as more "superior " or "inferior" than mine.
As long as we can both support ourselves I'm good.
Garbage men, sewage workers, farmers, all make a decent living. Being more "dirty" or "hands on" doesn't make it "inferior "
I don't know about superior/inferior but I've dated girls who made more than I did (real estate agents) and ones who were much more famous than I was (model).
I got an ego but it seems like more criticism is more towards myself. I'm not so vulnerable to compliments or insults in that way, and I don't seem to compare myself to others that much in a negative way (I admire people but I don't get jealous or let their greatness make me feel lesser -- more like they inspire me).
Also, I've dated girls that had jobs that paid much less, were much less famous, like clerks, beauticians, etc. I didn't think less of them.
I think you should have made the move. Let her judge.
I haven't had girlfriend that had a better job than I did, but if she did I would be alright with it.

My father runs a deadstock plant. He picks up dead cows and horses on farms and processes them for the petfood industry. There is absolutely NO shame in that. He is an honorable man who makes an honest living.
Now who would I be, as his own daughter, to look down my nose at someone in his line of work? Also, what no one tells people is that those "undesirable" jobs pay damn good 'cause no one wants to do them. My dad came home covered in blood and smelling like actual death and rotting flesh every day of my childhood but he provided for us more than just fine.
It's just a job, kiddo.
One of my uni colleagues, way back, was a drug dealer. He was supplying to many of the lecturers, professors and higher ups. This was an average tier student supplying to people who should have known better. Plus his stuff was whack and cut to hell.
Just because someone has a higher paying job or superior education does not mean they know or understand everything going on.
A date is a coming together to see if the person completes you right, or makes you feel wrong. Sure, money and status may play a part. But in the end you're doing it for biological and mental purposes.
I have a father who is extremely egotistical and quick tempered. And I have lived with him for over 20 years.
A man who has a problem dating a woman who makes a little more than he does , shows that he most likely has an HUGE underlying ego problem. There is a very high chance he is deeply insecure about himself. Once he marries, he likely act very domineering towards his family, override everyone else's decisions in the household (this very common amongst men), or even in some cases bully his wife or constantly take away her decision making power, make her feel inferior to him.
People like you tend to feel very easily threatened when you encounter or hear of more capable or successful folks.
I think if the chemistry is there, there shouldn’t be a problem. Personally I don’t date people because they’re job is better than mine or they make more. I date because I like that person for who they are. So if I magically got dumped and the next guy to walk into my life is a manure farmer, guess we moving to the farm.
What the fuck is an inferior or superior job? We're born physically different. We're born intellectually different. We're born emotionally different. You do the best you can with the dice your thrown. Anyone who thinks they're superior because of their job title has a serious ego issue
Mmm depends for example if they were working at Walmart but it was temporary cuz they go to school or just trynna find a better job it’s cool but If they have the jobs like u described I wouldn’t care as long as they are a hard worker and positive person.
the idea of any job being inferior or superior to any other is very alien to me. i understand that some pay more money. but there is a dangerous gambit involved here; too little money and one starves, yes, but too much money and one begins to think about investing in real estate. yeesh!
It doesn't matter to me. As long as a guy has a job that pays well then you're good because you can't live a good life single or with someone with a shitty paying job. A good man strives to be better not settles in a shitty going no where job.
Yes. A job is a job we are all working for the same reason. No job is better than another and doesn't equal a sense of superiority.
Is my man making money? Then that's all I really care about. I don't think people are equal to their job. Even if he told me he worked in the bowels of hell, I wouldn't really care.
Most women really do look down on men who work in the trades or have a lower status job. These women often won't even admit it to themselves but they don't want to introduce "Tom, who is a garbage man" to their circle of friends.
I'm not dating him for his job. If he does a job where he gets dirty then I just expect him to shower before we go out or hang out for the night
I don’t care what type of job he has. As long as he has one & he doesn’t have to be well paid.
Women like that are shallow & just want money to better their lifestyle.
I don't view jobs in that way to be honest nor do I like people who think that way.
I don't care but I also don't really feel romantic feelings and only really care about men's bodies.
According to most men women only want money. Based of these comments, I think those men are idiots.
I don't think any job is above or beneath any other and the workers aren't less of people, jobs are just things that have to get done.
dude that picture is so disgusting i'm ready to barf looking at it
Dam, that would never bother me. I'd be impressed and supportive.
I went out with this business chick, it didn’t work out.
