| Topic: What's my occupation got to do with anything? | |

I would live in a pop up tent and eat ramen noodles everyday with a
man that had a spiritual edge, and made me feel beautiful when he looked at me and made me feel safe when his arms were around me... |

My point is that Employment status can change. someone with a job is not gaurenteed to have that job in a months time. Someone who is unemployed could be back in work in a months time. No-one would say that a single mother should not be considered dateworthy if she is unable to work due to family commitments and therefore unlikley to be able to pay her way if you take her out. People unable to work through health problems shouldn't be doomed to be alone I get that. But, you cannot force someone to date you, no matter the reason they're choosing not to date you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone wanting to date someone who has a job. Just as there is nothing wrong with someone who is willing to date someone who is unemployed. There's no point in getting upset about it. I don't get upset about it. I know myself and my qualities and weaknesses. Hows about we change the occupation bit to a straight yes/no answer would that work for you? Have you read my posts? It wasn't really a yes/no type of question. Yes I have. I'm refering to the initial question I asked as to what my occupation has to do with anything. Why not just say do you have a job yes or no? |

I wonder sometimes wheather these sites ask for your occupation for data mining reasons or just so the gold diggers can narrow the feild down quicker. How much are you influenced by the occupation of a potential match? oh, quite a bit, if I have my PICK. If I am narrowing down choices, because I have kids, I prefer someone who deals with kids in their profession or who has a medical background. Profession wouldnt automaticaly EXCLUDE anyone in real time, but on a site with so many choices I definitely appreciate being able to choose certain professions over others. |

I don't think the way your question was phrased calls for her to ask "if you have a job"...
What does it matter if posters want a person they date to have a job? It is their choice what preferences they choose in people they date.. Wanting someone to have a job is no different than wanting to date peoople of a certain height... If you're going to ask questions, you'll need to understand that 1) everyone has an opinion 2) it is each persons right to whichever preference they choose and 3) you may not always like the opinions you get but if you're going to complain about them either a) don't ask the questions or b) state "answer ...." and tell them how to answer... It'll be a dead thread but hey, you won't have to deal with differing opinions...  |

Well, some girls don't want to date someone who'll be gone for long periods of time. Examples: military, truck drivers, business professionals (trips etc)

Wait a minute.I'd rather date a girl 6 foot tall with no job instead of a girl 4 foot tall that is a doctor.You have to get your priorities straight... |

Examples: military, truck drivers, business professionals (trips etc) thats a good point,, another one I thought of is compatibility reasons,,,, perhaps a lawyer may prefer to date some other similar professional as opposed to someone in entry level or warehousing work. |

I am not complaining about anyones opinions, mearly playing devils advocate as I am finding the debate stimulating and as yet I've not put my cards on the table as to whether I work or not. |

I dated a nice woman doctor from here... I was a gentlemen, kissed her hand, she'd hand-prepare food from scratch... a salad here, a sandwich there... then she told me she was a proctologist.

I know the guy just for you! You'll have to wait twenty to life for him, though, because he's a convicted serial killer. |

I think people have surmised that you do not work due to health reasons b/c of your posts... Also, you asked what does your occupation matter not "do I have a job" or "do I have to have a job" |
