There's nothing wrong with going for a drink with someone you find fairly interesting
the whole point of it is to get to know them better so you can make a better judgment.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 13 Jan 2011, 10:47, Reply)

you don't get to know anyone better over one drink
you just get to decide if you're going to have sex that evening or not. it takes more than one date to make a proper judgment, because nobody is themselves on a first date.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 13 Jan 2011, 10:55, Reply)

to me, the serious answer here
is that jobs ARE important. not because you are dateable or less dateable because you earn £20k or £100k, but because what you do all day, every day forms a large chunk of your conversation and motivation for getting out of bed in the morning. in order to have anything to talk about, you have to have similar outlooks on some things.

also you often end up dating people at work, bad idea though it can be, because you automatically have so much in common. and you understand the stresses of each other's lives. eg i've stopped seeing a couple guys after just a few dates because they got really annoyed that i work such long hours and was never around.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 13 Jan 2011, 10:56, Reply)

If work forms a large part of your conversation in any relationship
I'd suggest something is seriously wrong.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 13 Jan 2011, 10:57, Reply)

no, i have to disagree here
you are automatically going to say "how was your day" and then listen to the answer. also if you/other half is having problems at work or is going for a promotion or a new job, you're going to talk about them.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 13 Jan 2011, 10:59, Reply)

That's generically "work", nothing to do with what you actually do
and a measure of a person's empathy. It's got cock all to do with what they do for a job. To suggest, for instance, that I would need to be a solicitor to "understand" how a solicitors day went or to understand that they might need to work long hours is rubbish, swipe. You stopped seeing those two guys because they were too selfish, not because their jobs prevented them from "understanding"
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 13 Jan 2011, 11:26, Reply)

To put it another way
there are probably less than 50 people in this country that would understand a lot of the research I do, or at least be able to have a conversation about it. Do I have to go out with one of them, then? 'cos they're mostly men and despite Monty's fervent wishes, I'm not that mad for the cock.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 13 Jan 2011, 10:59, Reply)

I "am" my job
because it's impossible not to be with what I do. I'm heavily defined by it. But I do it because it allows me to do what I like and what I think is interesting, more or less. Which keeps me happy. And I'm always learning stuff I want to learn about.

that I employed a chap whose girlfriend (they'd been together since school) had a high-flying city job whereas he did shitty admin for me: they were doomed, despite their obvious love for each other.

that is sad
but i can see why. it's not about the material stuff, it's just that- i don't really know how to express it, i think you're just different people if you have very different aims and goals in life. this doesn't have to be a problem if you are happy to be/have a stay-at-home partner, but it doesn't appeal to me!
