If poker is your full time job, what do you tell people?

[Dynasty]

J V, you are correct. Generally all 20 somethings are good for anyway are "bopping".

And those 20 somethings are saying "Generally, all 50 year old geezers are only worthwhile if they make a lot of money."

What's the difference?

Jimbo - that post was classic... Here's hoping I'm not getting any of your leftovers!! [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

I got to get a 50 year old "sugar momma."

that's sounds like the bomb. I'm gonna get working on that today.

Dynasty the difference is you are incorrect. At least about the ones I allow to stay around for any length of time. I do agree many of them may feel that way, they are the culls and therefore are quickly rejected. Perhaps someday you will become older and wiser as well my son. Of course if you are no good in bed even wisdom will not help you.

Jimbo , you are right. Why date a girl that judge you for what you do? IF we just want to bang those girls, I guess we can lie to them and when we are done with them, chuck them? sounds good? For those girls who understands, then they are keepers?

Thanks for the wisdoms...

Jimbo is right. Forget about women that you need to lie to in order to start a relationship with / get in bed with / whatever. They aren't worth the trouble. Even if you do get them to go out with you / sleep with you / whatever, it inevitably won't last once they find out what you really do. If someone asks you what you do for a living, say "I am a professional poker player". Be true to yourself and let other people think whatever the hell they want. Why should you have to feel bad about and/or hide what you do because people are too narrow-minded to understand?

p.s. - I am 23, so it hasn't been too long since I have been out trying to pick up 20-somethings. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

If both sides get what they want, it's an efficient market.

Tell them you play the piano in a brothel.

There is a joke in British politics; a Member of Parliament bemoans, 'My mother has just discovered I'm a politician. She's terribly disappointed. She thought I played the piano in a brothel.'

you think a 20 yo is into a 50 yo balding man who pulls in 6 figures for something other than $$$??? wake up and smell the gold digging.

i'm sure the ones you "allow" to stay around are most grateful, but i'm sure the ones you kick to the curb have no problem finding another guy with money to help them avoid any sort of responsibilities in life.

if all you want is some girl to treat like an object and screw, then at least be honest with yourself and don't pretend that these girls aren't after your money.

I don not have to "think" this, I am positive.

"i'm sure the ones you "allow" to stay around are most grateful, but i'm sure the ones you kick to the curb have no problem finding another guy with money to help them avoid any sort of responsibilities in life. "

That is OK by me, I never said I begrudged them their wishes, I simply do not provide them.

"if all you want is some girl to treat like an object and screw, then at least be honest with yourself and don't pretend that these girls aren't after your money. "

As I stated clearly (to most people) many of them are but it is easy to identify and deal with accordingly. The ones I hang with normally either pay their own way (Dutch) or treat me. I am sorry you have not experienced this yourself, better luck Oddjob.
