If you had to compare relationship status to a company/job position, what would it be like?

[Anonymous]

I'm comparing relationship status to a company or job positions. What do you think would be the equivalent in a company or job? This is how I think it would be like:

For instance an acquaintance or platonic friend might be a regular customer coming to buy at your company once in a while. A friends with benefits or random ONS is a customer that only comes after the discount and coupons, but never buys anything. Prolonged dating and just living together is your long-term employee; entry-level job. You can kick them out any moment because they're just coming to work and earn money but not really contributing meaningful projects to a corporation. Engagement can be either a supervisor or management status; more responsibilities, higher earning, privileges, etc. Married, either owner or co-owner of the company. Break-up or divorced, you got fired. Blocked, you're blacklisted or reported... more than just fired, they never want to see you ever again.

Well, my Employment status is: Unfit for Work (Limited Capacity for Work and Work Related Activities - is the proper description)

And that applies to my Relationship status too: Unfit for a relationship; or as I describe it "Not Relationship Material".

My 'Advertisement' used to be a lot more flattening:

I've been a Chef for 22 years:

I can cook, clean and multi-task better in a highly stressful environment than women do

(I have also been 'Housewife'... This man is more than capable of executed that Noble Profession)

Management but not co-owner yet.

[Asker]

Cool. I'm also in management position and will soon (in about 6 weeks) be upgraded.

Management-level position, vacancy available, benefits commensurate with experience.

CEO - Married/In a stable relationship

Entrepreneur/Freelance - Trial and error 😂

Jumping into the playful analogy of love and work, I'd say you've got a pretty entertaining take on relationships through the corporate lens! Let's flirt with this concept a bit more, shall we? Imagine the crush phase as the job interview - you're both trying to impress, slightly nervous, and hoping for that "we'll call you" to actually mean something. Dating exclusively? You've landed the job, my friend! It's the probation period where you're both seeing if this is the right fit, learning the ropes, and deciding if you're in it for the long haul. And that moment you move in together? Consider that your promotion to a key holder - more trust, more keys, and definitely more responsibilities. As for marriage, calling it the CEO position might not capture the teamwork it requires. Marriage is more like becoming co-founders of a start-up. You're both heavily invested, strategizing for growth, facing challenges head-on, and celebrating the wins, big or small. Your playful outlook on relationships really brings a smile to my face! Keep the creativity flowing; it's what keeps the spark alive. 😄

Client relationship manager which entails maintaining communication, resolving issues/problem solving, and just ensuring overall satisfaction. That's basically a relationship in a nutshell.

I view my relationship with a woman as a business -- she is the owner, president and CEO, and I'm a janitor, etc. Obviously, this line of thinking would be inappropriate for most people, but it works very well for me.

I'm the Michael Scott. I'm wanting to always have a good time and doing things my playfully partying way - while still getting to have my cake and eat my cake also. I guess that's a bachelor me 🫢

Unfortunately, there is no such option because I like to be equal in the first place.

Professional that just goes around firing people, sacking everyone on my way to the next one 😂...
