What you do for living....?

ladies... what would be in your mind when men send you a message wanting to know better and the essential question he asks is "what you do for living?".... ??? I feel alert !!

Having my own experiences, reading blogs, hearing friends' stories, etc about "Fake identity, white rich good looking widow or divorce" is making me sensitive toward that kind of question. I can loose interest in one man soon after he asked something that connected to my income.

Do have similar thought ?

That's the point Virgosingle...
We all expect to make a friendship as a start. If we are matching, we carry on, if we are not, we stay friends. So, the question like "what you do for living", for me, is not appropriate question to ask. Friendship has no boundaries.

I only see people from 2 things : 1. what they say, 2. their zodiac laugh cool

Abagail... wish I could think that way... but hey, there are thousand other questions to start a conversation, like 'what you do in your free time?" for example...

this question is only relevant if someone is seeking a romantic partner. just like some people do not like to date smokers, similarly some people want to pick their dates from specific professions for better compatibility.

they must not have any money to ask what you do for a living as if they think they will get you hard earn't money when its nothing to do with them ....block and delete them they are not real people ,next they want your house , dont they have a job and a house of their own or are they still living with their wives ?? dump them they are not worthy ....wave wave

It is nothing wrong with asking a prrson what they do for a living, but if the question is followed with get out your check book then u might beware,however never take these chats to seriously just relax chat and have good conversation a connection will happend if it is meant to be. Any place where people gather there will be someone lurking to prey upon others .

When I get such questions I say "it is in fact none of your business" And then I am left alone.... I can not see why anyone who wants to know me need to ask that question in their first letter to me, there is so much more to talk about then what I do for a living... but this is me, I seek only friends and I also think this comes natural in a conversation with each other.teddybear hug

Like I said above... if you are here looking for a friendship, we should ask something on common interests, the elements that could build a good friendship. I don't want to bother my view to someone bcs what they do for living. especially in site where we only read what you all write.

a question of profession could pop up anywhere anytime in our conversation "ow that's cool. I understand what you mean as I am in similar area of work" for example.

Don't you think that a profession (what you do for living thing)of someone can influence the way we chat to them?

"What you do for living....?" I ask this of course. Someone's occupation is interesting. Tells me about a person. It's actually a VERY VERY common question from anyone to anyone.

I don't think you're ready for this dating stuff. laugh
