Every woman who I have talked to from a dating site have asked me this same question

[fbj]

you can be steady and dependable without liking your job.

It can be an indicator...as MS said, it can open the door to discussing if he's a job hopper. Aside from that, asking if someone "likes" their job, seems like a fairly innocuous question (although there probably is motive). I wouldn't blame a man or woman for asking the question, just based on if someone is miserable in what they spend the better part of their days doing, then it could result in a lot of listening to them bitch.

what if his jobs were short-lived because of layoffs?

 

[fbj]

Do what I do after 19 years of marriage... lie and say "yes" to everything.

women clearly set themselves for disappointment when they come off asking these questions


so most guys would just lie and say YES to everything

I don't know how old you are, but I'll give you the advice I told my stepson when he was 16... IF you intend to ever get married, fuck as many women as you can before you do... and by God wear a rubber.

That was 20 years ago. He's since done two tours in Afghanistan (Bronze Star), is married, and has a son. To this day he says that's the best advice he's ever gotten.

I dont know how old he is but when you are early twenties chances are you are in a job you hate trying to get experience to move up or just pay the college tuition. Any number of reasons you could be in a job you hate......

True, but the OP wants to know why women would ask such a question...and he's being given some reasonable explanations.

Then he can explain that when asked...if anyone joins a dating site and doesn't expect to be asked these sort of basic questions, then yeah, they probably shouldn't be pursuing that avenue of hooking up.

"Do you like your job"

I wonder what book or magazine most women are reading in 2014 that is telling to ask men do they like their job. I mean why is that information needed so badly when it's the first conversation we are having? I never asked a woman that because it's not a damm thing I can do for her if she says..........I HATE MY JOB lol

I don't see anything out of the ordinary in asking that question. I often ask friends and neighbors "how's work?" It's not an uncommon question.

why did you give him that advice?

 

[R.C. Christian]

Before I read this, I expected the question to be: How big is your Johnson?

if a woman asked me that I would hang up on her ear

So would I.

Because his mother (my wife) asked me to have "the talk" with him. The facts of life shit. Sex and women. It took me weeks to formulate and wait for the right moment.

If you're still lost, I suggest you see a psychiatrist.

To which I would reply "how stout are your birthing hips"?

"Do you like your job"

I could well imagine this scene playing out - a woman asking a message board audience "Why does every guy always want me to send him some pics? Can't these guys be satisfied with my personality?"

Look, women are different than men, so don't try to cram them into how you see the world. The job question is asked because they attach some significance to your answer and your answer helps them to size you up, just like how guys size up a woman by her looks, or her kindness or whatever other attributes are important to the man.

I would expect an inquiry as to what I did before whether I enjoyed it. Stikes me as odd. Thus my advice to dump dating sites.

 

[Gracie]

Maybe fbj is not ready for a long term relationship. I recommend a street corner for the one night stands. She won't ask you whether you like your job or not.

I think the question framed as, "Do you like your job?" comes off softer than, "What do you do for a living?" Women tend to be more empathetic in their communication.

Move to Iraq, accuse the bitch of adultery, and have her stoned to death.

Problem solved.

 

[percysunshine]

She want's to know if you're a steady guy or you switch from job to job real easy, for whatever reason.

Women are turned on by a guy who is passionate about something, and if it's their work, then that's a big plus.

Also, Women like to make nests. Women want a steady guy they can lean on. At least, the Women you WANT are that way.

isn't that information kind of personal when we are first meeting?

I don't think so...if they know what they want (a steady and dependable guy), then why waste time beating around the bush.

Was that on purpose? chuckle...

I don't think its relevant and I've never used a dating website. I tried once to use a dating website for metal-heads but I found out the site doesn't really work properly, functionality-wise. Who cares if you like your job? I'd be more worried how well you do in bed haha.

 

[Darlene]

It is a very bad idea to go to a prostitute. They can have so many diseases and a lot probably use drugs.

In this situation you may wish for her to ask how you liked your "job" and offer a money back guarantee if you did not.

it depends. i have no problem telling her i love my job, but do i also have to tell her i'm a porn star or a meth dealer?

Plus it is easier to stalk you at work...
