hey guys, i think we have all been there when we are in the process of sarging a girl and she asks you what you do for a living, and unless its an amazing exciting job (playing sports, millionaire etc) i found if you tell them it can sometimes be a bit boring and standard (trainee pharmaceutical rep isnt the most glamerous of jobs) so i kinda came up with a really basic and simple come-back to this, when she asks you what you do for a living just say .... (me) "well i have a few projects on the go" (her) "like what? " (Me) "now that would be telling" (said in a cheeky way with a smile on your face)

Then ask her what she does, she will either tell you or what i found out when testing this 9 times out of 10 she will give the same responce as you and play along. i found that it made it seem like she had to work for it and made her laugh a bit. and most of the other guys were showing off about their jobs so another chance to be different and stand out a bit

i know the theory behind it is kinda standard but thought id share with you guys what has worked for me so far

Thats actually a good one. Thats a question where i just dont have much to say. Im the BASIC guy when it comes to "what i do" SPAM, since im a student of sociology (which basically = boring).

I guess i can spin it off decently enough, by going into why im passionate about sociology and what aspects of it i really love, how its fascinating to learn about social interaction on a personal level, etc, but its flat out boring most of the time.

I like your little reply there, im gonna give it a go next time. Thanks for sharing =) .

Well you can either do one of three things....

1. Tell her the truth. But if you do tell the truth do not go overboard in what you are doing, and try to make it sound exciting. I trying to get her to visualize my job just so it peaks her interest and just be short and sweet with the description. This is what I do if I tell the truth...

HB: So what do you do for a living Shaft?
Shaft: I am an Instrument Technician...Basically picture a oilfield plant, I make those work. I love doing what I do. (You don't even have to say what the title of your job is).

2.Tell her a lie. If you do this do not go into detail and try and make it sound truthful yet sarcastic so it makes her wonder if you are serious. One of my favorites is...

HB:So what do you do for a living?
Me:Well I just got out of jail so currently I am just looking for new opinions..... (vacuum)

Everytime I say this they always laugh and are like why were you in jail? I normally come back with Oh I used to boost cars or I sometimes with just say I just look to good to be out on the street, and then give her a smile and a wink. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself. Also try not to bring up you are in jail for drugs, some girls get offended or have had druggy ex's and that brings back bad memories.

3. For the 3rd come back you can just say, "Well some things must remain a mystery." You then smile and shift the conversation either to her. If she then asks why must it remain a mystery I will usually say. "Well if I told you right now there would be really no purpose on me getting your number and taking you out some other time."

I usually go two ways when I get the "What do you do?" question. One way is to give her C/F and I tell her I just started a new job. I'm now a toenail polish salesman. I'm hoping to move up to fingers, but my ultimate goal is lip gloss.
This works wonders everytime! Its funny, and gets her thinking about other things that will be coming in the future.
I usually get the response, "But toenail polish is just fingernail polish." I come back with, "No, toenail polish goes on toes, silly"

The other way to go is after she asks what you do, ask her if she has a list of basic questions that you can take home and answer later. Tell her it will save time and you can talk about more interesting things, like why her shoes don't match her belt....

Save the boring stuff for later, keep her guessing and keep it fresh and rolling.

Hoch i love your comebacks, think i might test them out on friday night

Cheers for the share

You should give "The Layguide" a read, the author's name escapes me at the moment but he has some great examples of how to answer a question like this. One in particular I used just a few days ago was a girl asked me what my major at Uni is. I told her I'm majoring in hopskotch with a minor in Sidewalk chalk drawing.

If nothing else it gets a laugh from my experience, but this type of thing is right up my alley because it's part of my natural sense of humor. Give it a go, and just have fun with it. The author of "The Layguide" insists on not giving a girl a straight answer about most things because it creates an air of mystery about you. According to the author girls like to get to know you as if she were removing the layers of an onion.

I love it, coming up with answers like this are great. The example I gave was changed in minor ways from an example in the book but a couple I've come up with so far are: "I'm a dental floss technician" or "I'm the guy that paints the tips of matchsticks red." Again just have fun with it and bullshit it off the top of your head, it'll get a giggle and a smile at the least.

Always,

~Muse
