Would guys be turned off if their girl wanted to work at Hooters?

Question

Simple questions beckons simple answer. My boyfriend is completely against it. Why?

RolandX · Accepted Answer

*Bangs head on desk* Oh for gods sake people. It's not like that movie where the guy offers the couple a million dollars for one night with the wife. THATS a moral and ideological debate. THIS is not!

It's all about her true desire to make some decent money while serving large baskets of wings and pitchers of beer to under sexed and slightly inbred frat boys and rednecks. And yes it's safe, and NO not every hooters girl is an ex stripper ex trailer park prostitute named candy.

Alot of them are hard working, work more then one job, support familes, are college students either new or returning, and are awesome to talk to if you just took the time.

Yes the wings rock, the beer is cold and smooth and those legs (hers not the wings) are to die for. Just an added bonus imo. I say weigh it out. He should realize he is lucky to have a girl willing to go to work at hooters, run her ass off and be on her feet for 8+ hours a day to help support them.

I agree tho... I do not get guys who freak out about stuff like this. It's like those talk shows when the hot girlfriend and her lesbian lover (also hot) surprise the boyfriend and then beg him to just join them and he goes bat nutts and refusing even any chance he had with his girlfriend at something awesome... I mean seriously? (Insert image of me frolicking and dancing through the streets, smiling and high fiving everyone I meet as "The Safety Dance" plays mysteriously from somewhere)

I personally would hate if any Girlfriend of mine worked at hooters.

1. She'd have to act like a ditz.

2. all the guys are starring at her thinking "easy target"

3. at the end of it she will probably face more sexual harassment in a week there then a month if she didn't work there.

If its just for a temp fix for bills I'd let it go, but if its for a long while without seriously looking for another job I'd be irritated. wouldn't end a relationship over that tho. I'd just lose some of my respect for her.

i think the reason why your boyfriend doesn't want you working there is because he doesn't want other man oggling you which is perfectly normal. would you be OK with girls oggling your man?

Teal_Star · Accepted Answer

He is jealous and/or he is afraid of what people might say and think of you.

JohnnyBlaze · Answer

He probably thinks it's akin to being a stripper, but that's the farthest thing from the reality of it. I've known girls who were waitresses at Hooters, and other than the attire they wore, there is nothing different between them and any other waitress at any other sports bar/restaurant. Yes, they flirt with the clients, but all servers do that, anywhere - it's an easy way to build up tips.

Has he been there before? What about recently? If not, take him one day. Go get some dinner and stick around for a game. Let him see that there isn't anything to it. I was in there one time, invited by a new mother who brought her baby with her. Now, if a mother is willing to show up with her new baby (in fact, the location was her idea) and if the restaurant is willing to let them in, how nefarious can that place be?

Simply, just remind him that at the end of the night that HE'S the one you're going home with.

I have been to many Hooters across the USA. Most of them have a sizable male staff who will 'escort' any unruly types out the door. Hooters girls can make some very nice tips if they provide excellent service like any waitressing job. Yes, you have to play the game, but the entire place is a lesson in psychology. As long as you are safe, you have a good manager, it is in a good neighborhood with a good customer base, I would support you.

He has to remember that he is the one you come back to. I have known many Hooters girls who are engaged or married and / or working their way through college. Better than working in a strip club.

One thing I find interesting is the number of guys on here that say they would not like it. I am wondering if they go to Hooters. If so, they like to look at another guy's girl working there, but they won't allow their own to work there? Kind of hypocritical if you ask me.

SunSeeker · Answer

For me it has nothing to do with trust but more so the fact that I do not enjoy my woman being ogled at.

Also, for me, whether or not you could find other places of employment would play a big part as well.

If it comes down to money, I'm sure another place that does not require you to make money off your body could make enough at least to meet necessities.

If its just loads of money you want to make, then that's kind of a turn off for me because then it implants the question of just what you're willing to do to make money.

It's completely natural for your boyfriend to not want you to be exposed to the type of environment in which your success depends on how well you sell your sex appeal, it's the ones who do not care at all that I would worry about.

1) No, I wouldn't mind her working there. Whatever she thinks can get her the rolls of money, then go for it. I realize that Hooters girls are supposed to be nice and sometimes flirt around (if that's what you can call it) with their customers, and I realize that their t*ts and ass are hanging out, but I know that she wouldn't cheat. Plus if I had a girlfriend that could work at Hooters, I wouldn't give a damn about other guys thinking they could score with her when every dude that goes in there thinks he's a suave duck. To me, that's the very same as being able to walk into a Hooters and get one of those girls to like me. So I'd be satisfied in having a nice looking lady :)

2) Why? Your boyfriend is either jealous, uncomfortable about you flirting with guys as part of your job/guys checking your body out, afraid you will "fall out of love" with him because of the job, or all of these.

Guytalks · Answer

He might just think it could bring unecessary drama and jaelousy issues in the relationship when it can be avoided. How much more does a hooter girl makes compared to a waitress in a regular restaurant? If it's a lot more and you need the money big time then I think you have arguments for it. And if then he still doesn't accept it then tell him you'd agree with him if he's willing to pay for the difference in earnings! Lol

nobody21 · Answer

i think he has the wrong impression of hooters. I'm from the UK and my mates girlfriend works in Hooters here. I personally love the food there, and enjoy the fact they have LOADS of TVs with difference sport on. The girls there are fun, talkative and relaxed.

Make your boyfriend realize that girls on a night out wear A LOT less than girls in hooters wear.

frustratedchump06 · Answer

well obviously pretty much any guy would love to date a hooters girl, but I feel the reason why he doesn't want you to work there is because he is a jealous-type of guy, he doesn't want all the majority guy customers hitting on you

HomoErectus · Answer

i would get turned off if my girl told me she want to work at hooters.

the reputation of girls working at that place is not quite the best and my current relationship is serious. now don't get me wrong, I like hooters and of course the girls in there, but if one of them was my girl, I wouldn't like it. definitely.

TweetiByrd · Answer

He's jealous is why he's against it Go for it, is my opinion.Use it while ya got it and make a ton of money for college or a house or something.

bubbleboy · Answer

He doesn't want you to be wearing that outfit and having other guys check you out at work.

Reggie1 · Answer

For the same reason you'd be unhappy with him working in p*rn.  It's not a real betrayal but it feels like one.

Anonymous · Answer

those are the type of girls guys want, but not the type they want for long term relationships

zagor · Answer

Seems the girls there have to pretend to be morons even if they're not; that would be a turn off for me, seeing her act like a bimbo.

larry69 · Answer
