I get this question a lot whenever I go on dating apps and talk to someone new, what u do for living?

[Mariena_Anne92]

Do man really cares what woman do for living? Is it a measuring scale these day to get friends or partner. Something I lie about my job to see if they still interested to talk, and usually they just disappear. Man wanna know what woman do for living or how much do they make? And will man date woman who’s jobless?

[Berethor]

Maybe cause you 30, men care the most about looks and youth, I don't care if she jobless.

When I'm getting to know a lady, I assemble a profile of her. If she is someone that I am potentially romantically interested in, then it helps to know what they do, because it adds perspective. Perspective means I can decide if I like her or not, and whether I should pursue her or not.

@Guardian45 Do you actually care where a woman works?

[Guardian45]

Yes. I work in government and am watched

[Jamie05rhs]

@Guardian45 Oh, snap.

[Guardian45]

@Jamie05rhs. 😂🤣

I think it's a rather irritating question. It's essentially meaning..

"How much respect should I give you?"

Don't believe me? Tell people you are unemployed, and then tell other people you are a doctor. Watch the different reactions.

What you do is not the same as what you make. Jobs can say a lot about a person. Airline pilot, park ranger, attorney, software engineer, construction worker, astrophysicist, etc. It give some insight into what interests a person

[Jamie05rhs]

He's just being polite. He doesn't really care what job you do. He's just asking because he's interested in you and wants to get to know you better.

[LiamJHayden]

That sounds like a discussion for when you think there might be more, not before a date.

[Greenbins]

I don't want a broke girl who will depend on me for money.. I prefer if they made their own too.

It seems to me you've already made up your mind what the answer to this question is. What good would it do to answer you.

[In_Trance]

You shouldn't be on dating apps with an outlook like that

[MementoMori777]

Is this on instagram?

[Mariena_Anne92]

Literally everywhere. Their question always start with, so what u do for living 😂

[MementoMori777]

Oh cause on insta is what every scam account asks me before they ask for a picture and then they just stop replying, I don't know why, I don't know if it's the same, all I know is that people got nothing to do nowadays

[TotallyAlmost]

It's just a conversation starter. No big deal.

[Anonymous]

I'd never ask that question
