Benita27:
They actually do.

Jacksparr0w127:
Do you know what comes to a guy's mind when you ask him on first date what he does? I bet you have no clue


Most guys won't reveal to you on first date. Not even second in most instances

HARDDON:


@ emphasied, but ofcos!

We need to quickly know if he can pay our bills dont we?

toastedbread:


I'm a computer technician.
will you raise an eyebrow?

Benita27:
And if this guy is a student do you think he'd hide that on a first or second date?. Does it look to you like my life revolve around a guy's income?

rawpadgin:
maybe i am different


my replies are usually like this " u will get to know soon, but be rest assured that i am not into illegal dealings"

alexialin:




If u tell that line ? Just know am out .
No need chatting anymore . And its a red flag u are into illegal stuff

A guy who is a doctor will simply open up on the first date , he's a doctor . he wil even be proud to even say it ontime
Likewise a lawyer , or an entrepreneur or a banker . they don't beat around the bush .

And its the best .
Am a straightforward person and I expect a guy am interested in to be as well. By the time hesitation springs in..

Am gone,

No time or patience to waste on mind games .

So dear , be straightforward it pays .

rawpadgin:
lol
that i like keeping my card close to my chest doesn't mean i am not straight forward

& telling a girl i just met that she will get to know where i work in due time is an indication that i am into shady business are u cheating me right now

anyway, that's ur opinion & u are entitled to it


funny thing is, each time i tell people where i work they usually ask "where is that", then i will now start explaining to them
even though the place is responsible for a large percentage of Nigeria wealth

alexialin:






Sighs there is nothing wrong , whenever they ask where's that?

They simply want to know more .

Or better still no need calling the name of your company ,cos thats when they will ask such question.

U can simply say am a stock broker ,and I work for a stock broking firm on the mainland or on the island , simple.

But if it works for u?
Then please keep it up

Lionessza:
I doubt these wives don't know what's up . Infact I believe they tend to play dumb to save face when their criminal husbands are caught. How do you live with a "business man" who's office you've never visited? What about the company financial records ? As a wife is believe I should be able to view these anytime I want. What about his employees, ever met any ? And where? . What kind of business is he in? Who does he supply? Or where is he supplying?. I mean come on, I could go on the whole day to show you the things the wives would be suspicious of. Some may not be directly involved in the crimes but they know where that money is coming from, they might not know the exact details but no one is dumb enough to not know that they live a phoney business man. Gtgoh.

greyboy5000:
you are truely wise
Even as a guy their is no way I will live with another guy for a year without having any idea on what he is doing for a living

Benita27:
Why are you telling me your profession?.

Lionessza:



Yes true
There are smart folks out there that can hide their tracks for so long
But when you live with a person you calk your life partner I doubt a person can be smart enough to hide something as big as what he does for a living

Even someone as smart as Einstein can't do that, dont mind the op






Thank you. Exactly ! I don't know why people believe these wives. Even as a lady , if a friend I live with was phoney, I would find out within weeks . How do you live with someone you know nothing about? It's even worse when you call that person a life partner.

rawpadgin:
viva!

so it's u i have been chatting with all these while

how are you doing my dear

Benita27:
And if this guy is a student do you think he'd hide that on a first or second date?. Does it look to you like my life evolve around a guy's income?. I just can't date a guy I don't know his source of income but that doesn't mean I'd start demanding. Don't even know how to ask for financial favours .

alexialin:




Wait wait!
Sh.it!
But , wait first.. Who is behind this moniker?

rawpadgin:
lucky

are you not seeing the RM logo?

NwaAmaikpe:


It is not in a real woman's place to question her husband's source of income..that is not only an act of insubordination but a total usurping of power.

Your only reason in his house is eat wealth and give birth..that is why we call wives Oriaku (eater of wealth) in Igbo land.


So my sister, eat the wealth and mind your business.


If you dare to question his source of wealth, then you better be prepared to be the breadwinner.

HARDDON:


those are things people talk about when they've gotten confy with each other and there seems to be light for a future bout.

not a first or second date thingy.

@ emboldened,
yea, we know.

toastedbread:

not my profession. wanted to know if upon asking
"what do you do for a living?",
and he replies
"computer technician".
will such an answer be convenient?

Benita27:
Lol, well if you tell me that, it could be the last time we speak and if you don't say or perhaps say something legit, I would still have to be sure it's true.

Benita27:
The first thing I ask guys is what they do for a living. Once stories aren't adding up I take a walk. Can't afford to be dating/married to a yahoo nigga.

Nice piece op.
