When a woman asks "So what do you do?"

[Drummer93]

Most women that you meet for the first time will ask the most cliche question "So what do you do?" (What do you do for a living?) and i think its inauthentic question to ask when meeting someone for the first time. Its a status question and i for one will NEVER answer the question because my masculinity and value should be what matters instead of the title i have for my profession. Don't get me wrong, my profession is a high status position in the work force but thats none of anyones business when meeting me for the first time. When a woman asks me that question, i always respond cheeky "Are we going to start off by asking cliche questions or are we going to change it up to something more exciting? (Smile). She'll ask "like what??" (With embarassing laughter), i then ask a random question that will get them to laugh like "Well describe your perfect burrito? ". She'll be caught off guard at first but press on her neck on it. If she refuses then walk away, shes no fun and probably has no sense of humor. I want someone who is silly and have a sense of humor, no princesses. Women want someone different so why not throw a curve ball?

So gentlemen, do you fall for their cliche question or do you refuse to answer?

Oh shìt, nevermind. I thought this said: 'When she asks what do you want to do?'

The other posters got it right. When asked a dìckhead question, you give a díckhead answer. My goto is: Oh, me? Im a serial killer. This opens up some hopefully playful banter and shows them my playful sides.

Bro this is pretty ridiculous statement. If your daughter comes home and says "Dad I'm dating this guy I really like" "What does he do?" "Oh its his masculinity and value that matters, not what he does." What does that mean? A garbage collector is valuable, but does he turn girls on? Whether you like it or not, what you do for a living matters.

Your line of thinking is off too. You are worried about being judged about what you do. THAT'S GOOD. You have to be so good that she already knows all about you, and if doesn't, what you do will impress her, yet it doesn't mean you should do it just to impress her.

I don't know bro, I think you're being too sensitive. If you were a Hollywood star would you not answer? If you were a stockbroker would you not answer? It's just small talk, she's not trying to pry into your salary and digits. Not answering it seems like you are ashamed of what you do.

 

[backbreaker]

if my daughter brought home a guy and i asked him what he does and he told me it doesn't matter, what matters is his masculinity, i'd masculine his ass out the house lol


if you are mind ****ing yourself on opening questions like what do you do you are utterly hopeless with women. that's like a you asking a woman "hey are you a hoe" lol and she giving you some long bagged answer about how her promiscuity doesn't matter


when my daughter gets old eough to date and she brings men home i'm gonna just do this

Asking you this is a sign of interest. Depending on the girl and how the interaction is going you can either joke around with it or just answer honestly.

But be warned... if you really hate you job, joke around with her.... tell her your a circus clown or some such nonsense. Don't start talking about how miserable you are, tell her what you do without detail than change the subject to your hobbies... hopefully you have at least one interesting one.

You mean you're Assistant to the Assistant Manager at Burger Barn?

I agree. Girls ask this because you passed the looks test and they are tired of unemployed guys who are hot. Granted, you don't want to immediately brag and say "I'm a senior technical analyst for the number one stock trading firm", and you might joke that you are a secret agent first, but it's best to answer her in modest terms while downplaying yourself. And remember: everyone is going to be famous and a millionaire these days. Women are tired of that too.

Then ask her what she does, keeping the focus on her.

I also find it curious that the OP doesn't even tell us what he does. besides whine.

 

[ubercat]

I say ' as little as possible but I'm not very good at it' which they normally reply smart ass too and that's it

 

[BrainDamage92]

First, the question is not "inauthentic".

Second, it doesnt matter ;]

I would hope the women i am targeting are not still living at home let alone sharing their dating life with their dads.

The bottom line is eventually you will know what i do but that should never be your opening statement. Its such a status seeking question . I think having fun with is s good idea.

If I'm not up to making jokes about it at the moment, I say "I do just fine".

 

[ubercat]

He he gold TT I m going to steal that one.

 

[JohnChops]

I told a chick I was a professional Chess player and connoisseur of fine cheeses. That went over pretty well actually.

 

[guru1000]

I usually go with, "I kill people."

Such a response instantaneously cracks her frame in half. It really shows you give two fvcks. If she can't handle my wit, she is not welcome in my company anyway.

Has worked great thus far.

 

[Who Dares Win]

I usually tell them that right now Im trying to get back in track, that I paid my debt to society but Im not sure If I really changed.

Then I look at them, they usually ask if Im serious or straight if Im an ex convict...at that point I look at them straight in the eyes with a stern face for a couple of seconds, when the tension is enough I made of one those benny hills faces and say "surely not, are you for real?"

I do this for the reason that I find counterproductive to comunicate a girl that you dont care about her within the first moments of interaction, while its a great idea to make a fool out of her, you can tell her b1tch shield goes down.

I work for Skynet building better cyborgs for a better tomorrow.

 

[Desdinova]

"I'm a professional superhero"

I continue telling her about my profession in ways that describe a comic book hero. The parallels actually line up quite well and I get a bit of admiration from her.

 

[yun-j]

Normal question for a girl to ask after a while. No one would hide it unless they do rubbish job.

 

[Slickster]

Me: I'm a garbage man.
Her: Haha, no seriously
Me: Ya I love garbage. I'm passionate about it actually.
Her: You're funny.
Me: Actually I don't like to tell people what I do.
Her: Why not?
Me: Cuz I want people to like me for who I am, not my money.

Usually gets their wheels spinning.
