What to say when asked about your job

[Sub-Zero]

I work in retail now and i feel a little too old to be working in it, but w.e. I pick up older girls with caeers and younger girls who are managers. I never get asked what i do, but what should i say?

Bump.

I feel like this is self explanatory: if no one asks, why bother sharing? Do they need to know your job?

If you must say something about your job though, why not choose something more accurate? Perhaps "scoundrel" would do the trick. Girls love scoundrels... Or perhaps you're actually a traveler. Your job is up to you to decide. Just cuz you spend some time working retail, I'd personally just consider that kind of thing a hobby that helps pay the bills and gets me some practice interacting with all sorts of different people.

It's all a matter of how you look at it.

Lately my go-to is that I tell women this, with a very indifferent assholish tone of voice/vibe. Though not in a defensive way.

Her: So what do you do for a living?
Me: I raise cats in my moms basement and sell them out of my car.
Her: Laughs (Usually though sometimes I get told to fuck off)
Me: Yeah I keep them in a trashbag in my trunk if you're interested in seeing them I can show them to you.
Her: OMG!
Me: Don't worry I put air holes in the bag (then switch subjects immediately)

It doesn't matter don't put too much emphasis on your job and definitely don't be insecure about it. If you don't care that you work retail neither will she.

You can steal my line if you feel bold

Rob that is absolutely hilarious man, golden, I must say tears came to my eyes from laughing as I read it, same with your most recent journal post, (where the dude who introduced you to the girl says please, chill the fuck out, but not that bit specifically, the whole report)... definitely worthy of study, my interactions pretty boring compared w this hahaha good job.
cheers, Ray

Did a pool approach today, kinda surprised myself cos I do not normally approach without my hearing aids in but it went well, I could lipread enough to get the gist of what she was saying. Got a sexy nurse frame in and discovered she actually works in an STD clinic, hehehe... but fell over when asked about my job, just couldn't be an asshole, baited her a bit but was no real challenge and ended up giving a full and complete explanation / justification like a social novice and feeling like a chode. Went for the number just as she was saying nice to have talked to you and ejecting, so my heart wasn't really in it and I didn't push it. Chalk it up... be mysterious, be a challenge, hook her hard and get her investing... one of my sticking points.
