single4ever: I think asking if one is working is a fair question but I think it tacky to ask how much they are making. However; that is just my opinion on the matter.
I agree. I think the question was about asking what one does for a living.

lilmamma71: Who did the inviting for the date? If you did, then its customary to pay for your date.

and if you are not comfortable with that custom, then make it clear it's a "dutch" arrangement to the lady in question.

Generally, I find it rude when asked about the $$$ I make and it's a good red flag that would tell me to continue looking for someone who is not motivated completely by the almighty dollar.

Keep looking..oh and not to burst your bubble, but MEN do the same thing so don't tar and feather please.



Happy New Year LilM hug yay

Are you talking about the Op or the last poster. The op mentioned about women asking how much he earned. I don't think its a bad thing to ask what one does for a living though unless you are an assassin. laugh

i often ask someone what they do for a living. both men and women. it gives an idea of where they spend a lot of time, and what some of their interests are. and it has nothing to do with money. i could care less how much money someone makes...i have my own job and money.

rivernile1234: when your on a date why do women ask what job you do and how much you earn is it all about money to women???


i'd ask it to anyone i was sitting down chatting with. be it on a date or just a friendly chat. how are you expected to get to know a person if you don't know what they do in their day-to-day lives?

I have never asked that on a date - men usually just volunteer that info - I have never asked a man his salary or rate of pay

I would ask a man what sort of job he has out of interest in him tells me a bit about him. As in wages re money that is the height of rudeness I would never ask a man what they earnt I wouldn't be interested. As I wouldn't like a guy asking me my personal business what I was worth if he did I would get up and walk away. thumbs down

Hi Rivernile, pay for me to come see you both ways, then I'll ask you also to show me the money!
See we are all straight, you can always say no. No sudden surprise.

Now that I got that out of my system, it is no business of a women you just met to ask you how much you make. I would say, stay away from that type. Who knows, the second date, she may ask you to show her the money!

single4ever: I have never asked a man how much money he makes but I do ask what he does for a living as he usually asks me as that is just conversation.

If they ask me what I do then isn't it fair game to ask them? They also like to see what kind of car I drive. Isn't that a bit of a double standard?
