One asks another about work because that often says a lot about a person's interests. Often it does not. Follow-up questions might be: Do you enjoy your work? Do you like your employer?

If I were to ask a man: "What do you do for a living?" (your initial question in this thread) and he tells me that he is a scriptwriter, then that tells me that he is a creative person. If I then ask him if there might be a chance that I have seen something that he may have written, that simply means that I am curious as to whether or not I have seen something that he has written. You, I am guessing, would automatically assume that I am wanting to know whether or not he is SUCCESSFUL and RICH. Nope. I simply want to know if I like his work. If he tells me that he writes more obscure works for stage, rather than a TV series, then I wouldn't know his work. If he told me that he writes for "24" then I would know his work.

Whether or not I am employed has no impact on wanting to know more about the person that is the man.

I think I do sort of understand what you're saying SOLOMON. If you're saying that a woman shouldnt have a man to provide for her and that women should be independent, I am with you on that.....like, "homemakers" should get a job and not try to find a guy to give her everything. If that's not what you're saying then Im not sure what you're saying......

Im not taking sides, but seriously if I was unemployed I wouldnt ask my date what he does for a living. Then he'd ask me and I wouldnt want to answer-- how embarassing!!

I was thinking the same thing. It would just be an embarrasing situation because you know the question will be reciprocated. But I don't think just by asking a question, the girl is out for the guy's money.

It's called conversation, everyone asks each other this question.
It is not being nosy or impolite.
Actually, asking other people about themselves is a lot more polite than talking about yourself.

Now, someone giving you a hard time about what you do for a living is something different.

What exactly did someone say to you Solomon to push you over the edge?

I was ask by this female what I do for a living and when I asked her she said she was unemployed.

Asking what one does for a living is just normal conversation - what's wrong with it???Solomon,you seem so paranoid about women,please seek help,before it's too late.

ThomasE · 05-14-2003, 11:33 PM

I saw this coming as I read this topic.

*Marilyn Monroe* · 05-15-2003, 07:53 PM

Well, now that SOLOMON is an expert on what I can say on dates, I better start taking notes.

I dont agree with what you are thinking here. Small talk...thats it. God forbid someone make conversation.
