What Occupation Would Make You Not Date Or Marry Someone by Rubyjade(op): 11:37am On Mar 08, 2022
I recently hung out with a group of girlfriends I hadn’t seen in a very long time. I’d like to say that it’s because we’re all busy,so I was grateful to get the opportunity to catch up with my girls.

As usual, those ladies that were single lamented about their nonexistent relationship status. “Where were all the good guys?” “Why do they all live with their mama or have multiple baby mamas?” “How come they don’t have great jobs or make a lot of money?” I quietly sat there listening, not missing any of my single days. However, the more I listened, the more questions formulated in my head. “What constitutes as a great job?” “What is ‘a lot’ of money?” After all, those things are pretty relative, so I was curious to learn what types of guys they were attracting and why they felt these men weren’t good enough.

One friend said, “The doorman in my building asked me out on a date. Can you believe it? Like I’d date ‘the help’.” Suddenly, I began to understand why some of these women were still single.

“What’s wrong with the doorman?” I asked.

“Uh, he’s a doorman,” she responded, as if the answer was obvious.

I followed up by asking if it was just doormen she was against, or any man who was in a service/customer service type of job. After all, “the help” is not limited to doormen, maids, butlers, janitors or any other job that reminds her of “slavery” (her words, not mine). Service industries also include positions within sectors such as hospitality, sales, public health and any other position where your responsibility is to service or be of service to other people. But because those were still considered service industry jobs in a sense, were they too deemed not respectable? “Would she not date a man in any of those fields?” I thought to myself.

Some people in one gender don't mind dating a rich god-fearing armed robber.

I strongly preach that people should not judge one's past too harshly. The extent of runs especially.

However, I don't think I could date an ex runs babe. Then because of Nigeria, I'd be very careful of dating someone in the armed forces.

Other than that, I'm an equal opportunity dater.

construction workers
mining
Fishers and Related Fishing Workers
Pilots and Flight Engineers
Roofers
Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors
Drivers especially truckers
they're many, though we can't avoid them in life. THE BEST PREVENTION IS TO ALWAYS TAKE CAUTION AND PRAYERS cry

Any girl or lady into marketing,especially that of the bank.

Female marketers are held under duress to meet up with their target,which makes them do things

Aha, Rubyjade... So you're not
one of the single ladies out there?

Women are hypergamous in nature, while men can marry
women who are below them
in social status. Lol.

I wouldn't marry an "uneducated"
woman regardless of how much
she has though. We have to be
on the same page in terms of
vision and intellect.
