Wow, you really are a basher . No wonder no one would date you if that is how you treat and talk to them. Money can't buy everything.

My income response was a smart ass remark... maybe if you had some humor you would of seen that. It was a rhetorical to your comment about some one's profession and how much they make.

And yes, BP I am smart....... I don't' go trolling for young-ins. I noticed how you omitted commenting on my remarks on the age criteria and young ones only wanting someone that old for a sugar daddy. Also, so you had one pic in jeans and the rest expensive suit and expensive car. The point of my comment was omit the expensive looking pics that flash it.

Seems if you will get into a debate with someone make it intelligent instead of copying a thought from a fashion magazine miss smart -blonde.

PS your argumentative and envious as your troll your answers too much in protest against materialism rather then accept the fact someone actually put thought into how they wish to present themselves.

Being well groomed and dressed is refreshing . Have you gleaned most of the pics on here and their efforts into making a good impression. Yokels don't own suits without patches.

Of course I know you shall point out I have no pic , but I am merely here to entertain and hopefully read imaginative dialogue or play the devils advocate at my leisure.

If I wanted to know what you did for a living, I would run that plate number through one of the online search sites.

I have been to arlington texas and there are many men there with GREAT jobs...
tall, handsome men in great shape. The competition must be tough OP....

bd c,mon man, you know as well as I do that women measure men in all aspects of what they are looking for, even though money may not be their priortity, would anyone not enjoy the prospect of a possible well off partner, so decide how to respond to the question and recognize the gold diggers if that is their motivation, like you if that is the first question, red flag.

I have to agree with many of the women that you distressed from your profile.

Males like you make me want to puke, you are the reason most of the good guys has a hard time explaining we are not players as your profile spells out…

Hell, I thought I was pushing the limit on seeking the age of 40 to 55.

And just how much Viagra do you take? Bet it’s been 15 years since you mixed it up with a 35 year old… I just cannot imagine getting it on with a girl younger than my daughter… again you make me puke!

Ick. I can't believe that I'm responding to a post with such disgusting references in it; however, my inner feminist just go the better of me. I'm always curious about a man's profession because it tells me about his mind. Is he logical? Pragmatic? Artsy? Creative? Humanities-oriented? A power-tripper? A politican? (NB. won't date one of those again) Finally and most important: does he share a profession related to my own?

Judging by your post, a woman can tell what you are looking for and what you truly think of women right of the bat. Sheesh. You just gave yourself away.

Oh the green writing on this thread is in abundace and not meant in reference to the ecology of the world.

WHo cares if the OP wants someone a heck of a lot younger how does this cause a pissafication in your cereal bowl ?

People if you have confidence you would debase your debate by attacking an individual aka Rosie ODonnel or are the skills gleaned from reading too many articles by writers contributing to yellow journalism? It also appears lack of self confidence and other insecurities have been highly illuminated by many contributors to this thread .

Labelling me a suedo intellectual from ALWAY ANNIE. puhlease , you are trying too hard to show brilliance.

Puke if you will.

The last 4 1/2 yrs I was in a relationship and dated a 35yr old. Find it disgusting if you like. No Viagra involved LOL. ...

Amazing the responses off of the originally thread. Some people are simply rude or simply have no social etiquette. I did not request insults, although some find it necessary to fulfill their own inadequacies.

Differences of opinion are not insulting, just interesting.

^^^ touche Annie. I was thinking the same thing. Talk about a stuff shirt. Bet he is just a barrell of laughs when he goes out.

I will take a laid back, blue-collar worker with humor, over any one with a 6 digit income any day!!! I would be crying from my tears of boredom. And to think they are on free sites..... LMAO

What was with the fashion magazine post. Was that your humor or your fighting words? Either one was lame..............

Anabolic, you write like an ass, and you use words that don't mean what you think they mean.

The guy was "gauche" in his first post when he compared being asked his profession to a woman being asked her bra size or whether she deepthroats.

Get over yourself.

Brad - She is looking for signs of wealth -- money -- assets. If you are in a certain profession -- then she can judge your financial desirability.

It is the most common want - desire among all women --- financial security.

When you display positive signs of wealth, money and assets you automatically become -- in perception ---- younger, nicer, sexier, more acceptable, more desirable and much more.

This is a real factor --- I have tested it on sites such as this.

A BIT NOMADIC

IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT ETTIQUETE BESIDES STREET PEDESTRIAN YOU KNOW THE OP WAS CORRECT IN EQUATING IT TO A WOMAN'S BRA SIZE.

I doubt highly you could deep throat as you would never stop spewing nonsense.

EDUCATE YOURSELF ON GOOD MANNERS AND YOU TOO WILL AGREE.

When the OP compared asking what he did for a living to asking a woman if she deep throats he lost all rights to keep the thread on topic. There is no comparison between the two. It shows how deeply disrespectful he is to women. He opened himself to ridicule.

I have travelled a great deal and find it is common for people in North America to ask this question within the first few minutes of meeting. Perhaps its indicative of materialism or lack of social conversational skills either way its in poor taste .


really? Hmm I have lived and worked in 4 countries on 3 continents.. 2 in Europe, 1 in africa and 1 in north america. Polite conversation has always included..."what do you do?" It has nothing to do with materialism ....just a normal topic of conversation. I totally agree with 'a bit nomadic's' comment.

I have to climb up on the soap box on this one .
you are how old ? looking for girls how young? and you find it repulsive for someone to ask what you do for a living? ummm as far as a young girl would know you could be doing illegal stuff to make money if you don't have what you do for a living posted. I have to say that the part braging about your nice thread count sheets would have shut me off right there or made me think you are maybe floating on the other side a bit. However, that is just my thoughts on how I would have seen you. Oh and let me tell you being a lady , that statement that asking you what you do for a living is like asking a woman her cup size or if she deepthroats, damn that has no similarities what so ever and if you have any good about you then I don't think you would have even thought of that yet stated it on here , so maybe you are the one asking wrong questions to the young girls and getting slapped on here for it. What do old guys want with young girls anyway? specially men who think they are all that and like to show off....lol..I think it is perfectly fine for a man or a woman to ask a person what they do for a living ,specially on a online date site to see if you meet up with there standards with education and are capable of caring for yourself, I mean would you want something to do with a young girl on welfar? I don't think so nomore than us woman want a fake poor guy who has not held down a job in awhile and is up to there eye balls in debt from there rich lifestyle. You can sport a nice suite and have expensive things but that don't make you as a person on the inside. Looks like we got the men in our corner on this one..don't try to compare a womans cup size and deepthroat with asking what you do for a living...very very tacky of you and course your probably one of those perves that chat with young ladies to get your jollies online and those are probably questions you ask them but you get offended when they ask what you do for a living ,well maybe you don't have the great lifestyle you so gladly post out on here ...good luck..

Gotta admit women how they protest too much herein . Women are truly wondering after being contacted by a man not the size of his girth but the thickness of his wallet.

Though the maidens protest the off spring need to be fed.

There is nothing wrong in asking for legal age.

Insecurity by women runs rampant on this thread. Seems many have gone on a rabid tangent of professed virtue and the seven deadly sins are an anathema to their moral compass. Oh shudder, shuder. I hear chastity keys jangling , what din befalls the ears . Feign dwell on form and feign deny what they have wrote otherwise a maiden blush would surely bepaint their cheeks.

any tar and feathers left ?

there are so many other threads, lets not waste them all here !!!!

OP let me solve your problem for you, adjust your age range to a 10 year gap and you will avoid many of the gold diggers. Be open about yourself and what you do, about your life and find someone who actually likes you.. for you.
Its that easy.

next !!!

My offspring has been fed and has flown the nest. I've always worked and at times made more than my then husband. I could give two sh!ts what a man makes or does for a living.

What I won't stand for is being disrespected. By anyone.
