ay0_x Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 So this is a question to all the guys on here. In the dating scene, do you judge women on their job? Or even, by their level of education? Of course, I'm not talking about jobs such as strippers, pornstars etc, but just normal jobs that aren't considered "womanly"- such as bartender, mechanic, policewoman, soldier etc. Would a woman in a trade be a dealbreaker for any reason? Would you not date a woman who wasn't college educated? Link to comment
nhisname2002 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I don't judge a woman by her type of employment, but more about how she approaches and views her job. Just like men, there are women who feel that they are 'entitled' to certain types of employment and benefits and there are those that 'strive' to reach goals. I'll take the latter any day.

FortunateOne Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I don't care what a woman's education, career, income, health and/or spirituality is as long as she is an intelligent woman that cares for those around her in an authentically positive manner that I can adore. Link to comment
Caterina Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think that of course some men will judge you on those things, but are you interested in someone who is that shallow? If I have a good job, its for me, not for them. By the same respect, I haven't always judged men by their jobs, either. Still, its somewhat of clout thing...whatever 'more'you percieve as potential SO as having...whether it be looks, stability, or kindness...will factor into whether or not someone decides to be interested.

surfNski Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think a womans career says something about her. I dont care how much she makes or what kind of education she has but if she is something like a cop or a bartender those jobs come with certain lifestyles (usually). I still wouldnt write her off though, I would want to get to know her... Link to comment

By a cops lifestyle, are you referring to schedule? & Would you mind telling me what you think a woman's career says about her exactly? Link to comment
Caterina Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I'm very attracted to the idea of being a cop. Its a good job, with, for the most part, good people. Its a really tough job and I don't think its comparable to something less respectable like being a bartender, though. I am currently in the professional world, but last year wasn't the case, so I've learned not to judge people on their backgrounds. Link to comment
knowme Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Im not a guy, but im an aussie so i'll give you my two cents. I dont think guys here really care what sort of job or education a girl has but i would say that these would be the conditions: 1. they have to have A job (like not on centrelink unemployment) 2. if they have a job maybe something liek a parking ticket giver would be questionable 3. education- well at least year 10 But I have two degrees and its never made me any luckier with men. One thing though- i think people generally like someone who has a passion- like for me mines art and i earn a living as an artist. I think thats sort of attractive to people generally- to have a passion you can earn a living from. Link to comment

I was just kind of making examples The jobs I listed above I guessed would be the ones guys would be more "eh" about. A bartender because of the atmosphere, a mechanic because I guess it would imply that she's manly/hangs out with guys all day (not that either of which are necessarily true), a cop because of the schedule, a soldier because of a mix of things etc. So yeah just some examples.

I don't think Centrelink recipients for the most part should be dating lol but it's all relative. Link to comment

ay0_x Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 lol at centrelink thats what i think but i didnt want to say lol It's true though. While "the" job might not matter, A job definitely matters. Girl or guy, you need to have money to be dating. And.. a job. I know its a recession and blablabla.. but I think a job is a higher priority than a boyfriend, definitely. Link to comment
shy2cool Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Young policewomen are such a turn-on. Link to comment
vodkacruiser23 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Interesting points, thank you. I don't think Centrelink recipients for the most part should be dating lol but it's all relative. I guess I shouldn't be dating then... lol. I am a hairdresser by trade, but there's little work right now for people who aren't completely qualified... and if it weren't for my scumbag ex-fiance leaving me with a house to look after by myself, I wouldn't have gone knocking on WINZ's door... I have found some guys put off by my current unemployment, others don't seem fazed by it. Depends on the guy I guess... Link to comment
Dean_Wincheste Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I don't care how educated a girl is, or what kind of job she has. The only things that matter are, in no particular order: 1) Can I have intelligent conversations with her? 2) Is she pretty? 3) When we're together, are we comfortable, are things easy? 4) Does she have charm? 5) Is there chemistry? 6) Is she a nice person, polite, well-behaved, sensible? 7) If you introduced her to your family or friends, would they think she is crazy, eccentric, annoying, or would they like her (the answer has to be they would like her, of course)? And then there is the kind of attraction that is difficult to define or explain. We like some people, and others less, it's just the way it is. Link to comment

Seeing as you have a house, it means you have SOMETHING to your name. I just don't know how someone on centerlink (which really doesnt pay much @ all unless youre living at home), can afford to date.

top bloke Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Unfortunately alot of materialistic people do look for an ego status and financial boost when they look for a woman. Personally for that point it is wrong. However for a woman to have work is a good thing as the financial benefits for her are a good thing ..It helps a bit of independance as well... Link to comment
surfNski Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 By a cops lifestyle, are you referring to schedule? & Would you mind telling me what you think a woman's career says about her exactly? By cops lifestyle I mean that being a policeman/woman you are trained to look at the world a certain way. You have to your job demands it. I have known a enough policeman/women to know that and I would have to really take a look at that before I dated her. Soldiers, you just have to remember that the government owns them. They go where and when they are ordered to. If you can deal with that then you are golden. Make any sense? Link to comment

Would you not date a woman who wasn't college educated? No, I don't judge a woman by her job. It's really not important at all to me. Well, wait - let me revise that. It is important that she's happy with what she does - or at least, that she has a direction in which she is moving, and that excites/motivates her. But generally speaking, no, it's unimportant to me. It's all about the person, not the trappings. Link to comment
cruzer Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The only thing i am worried about is if we get a place together, can she afford to help pay for the bills. Does not matter if she works at Mc Donald's, as long as we pay the bills, WE being the key word. Link to comment
Moon Riser Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 yes - her job and education matters to a small degree. but for me its more importnt that she has good values, integrity, loyalty, honesty and has a great character. its also important that she likes to look after herself by going to the gym. i cannot stress the importance of that !

Seymore Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 If she has A job and it doesn't involve stripping or prostitution, it doesn't matter. Link to comment
BriarRose Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I am not a guy, but I find if it's a quality woman (and not looking for a meal ticket) they don't particulary care what her job is. Link to comment
pinkelephant Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The thing is, most quality women would have a decent career. Not saying racking money should be the #1 priority, but it should be a priority. Link to comment
