When A Lady Asks, What Do You Do For A Living? What Is She Trying To Hear? by humurphia(m): 9:55pm On Oct 01, 2021
I took interest in this girl on Instagram/ Tinder. She looks like a decent and cool headed girl for friendship.

After introducing ourselves and chatting for a while. I called the next week .we vibed a little and joked on the call like she wasn't a stranger.

Towards the ending of the call with her , she asked "what do i do for a living?"

This is someone i just met on the internet, and i feel bad vibes that this was part of the first set of questions she had to ask.

Is this an Airtel Red flag?
Is she genuine or is she likely to be only about the money?
Or was she trying to make a conversation ?

What do you do for a living?

In other words, what do you do to live.

You breathe.

When a woman asks such question, one the biggest reasons she is asking you that is to know your personality and if there is a great future ahead of you.

There's nothing wrong with such a question, it's a good sign that the relationship is a future base.

There’s actually nothing wrong with the question; she’s probably looking at the possibility of a bright future with you before she will start catching feelings.

She might be a gold digger trying to evaluate if your site is worth digging.

It might be just like the usual question parents, relative, friends and co ask us.

It could be she's trying to avoid yahoo boys and co.

Their can be million reasons and we can only guess.

Hope you also asked her same question after answering her?

It is not a bad question. Especially now that you have a lot of yahoo boys littering the streets. Its better to know the kind of people you're dealing with. Especially when you want to make them your friend.

If a girl ask such question, it is because she sensed that you guys might transition into dating later. So, she needs to know whether you are financially buoyant enough to hold your own before it gets to that stage.

Yes, I used to feel uncomfortable when they ask such questions but I realized that it is good to let them know what you do for a living as a responsible human being.

It is not a bad question, as an adult, IMO

Yeah, I know. I actually did like the girl but she had a boyfriend and still went ahead to ask such a question. I wasn’t expecting the question considering she is in a relationship although she doesn’t know that I know she has a boyfriend.

I just let her be, let me not ruin the nigga’s relationship cause I sense if I pursue her she might likely agree but not comfortable doing it.

Okay, did you tell her what you do for living? You should tell her, irrespective of how it makes you feel.

About the boyfriend aspect, bros, nothing is guaranteed for her. She can't be so sure that the guy will eventually marry her and when you consider their short lift cycle with menopause slowing creeping in, you cannot truly blame women.

This is why they keep their options OPEN and have at least 3-5 guys on queue for possible real FISH. A girl can be in a relationship and still give out her number. A girl I was once very interested in that didn't agree to date me back then told me that she only date guys from her contact and, during our discussion, after we opened up a lot of things on dating, she quickly said, do I know whether we can date in the future? She said this to let me know, even when she was in a relationship recently this year, that she does not mind dating and furking me, as long as she is not in a relationship.

Months after this, she broke up with the guy she was dating and also agreed to visit Akwa Ibom with me later this year. The only problem is, my taste in her or women, in general, has changed. She is still the most pretty lady on my contact but these days, I don't place much emphasis on beauty. She is furking pretty ooo, fair-skinned (not bleached)

Your own goal, IF YOU REALLY LIKE HER (the girl in question) and have plans to marry her IF she fits what you desire in a woman, IS TO play your card right. It does not matter whether she has a boyfriend or not.

A few weeks ago, a lady said on Twitter that it is foolish to ask a girl whether she is in a relationship because she would always tell you yes. She said the best question to ask is ARE YOU MARRIED? Now, to some people, that statement by the lady is foolish but there is a lot of wisdom in that.

The game is the game.

Oh, I see you added to it. Well in that case, it is fine to let her be, especially if you have no serious plans for her.
Re: When A Lady Asks, What Do You Do For A Living? What Is She Trying To Hear? by purples25(f): 3:12pm On Oct 02, 2021
No, she should not ask you. It's after you people have sex, and you cannot pay for pregnancy or handle responsibility, or handle marriage....

Then you will run away. Then people will shift blame on her for not finding out if you were financially ready for a serious relationship. That's the one you want.

Come, what are you starting relationship for? If it is for serious reasons, like settling down, shouldn't you both know your finances because that will be an important factor that needs to be planned out and managed?

Or maybe you are having a relationship for cruise sake. In that case, I see you. Salute.

The messenger of campus female undergraduates
You connected from her via Tinder ?
You have to be cautious of what you tell her .
Majority of girls on the app are for hookup.
Few display on their profile , others don’t to avoid chasing clients away ( either way she will swing)
Some others are seeking for a relationship but you will be dull if you don’t kpekus the girl.
You can twist what you doing for a living, is obvious she’s weighing her options
Flow with the tide and hit her when she least expect
Their may be good girls there but majority has spoilt the show
Enjoy your time there is so fun
