I’m not dating a…

I’m not dating a…

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

Does a person’s profession determine whether or not they are dateable?

Cheryl:

Of course his profession will play a vital role in me deciding to be with him. I’m not dating a garbage collector and men in certain other jobs. I don’t care how it sounds, I’m just being real.

Tyrone:

I work as a security guard and there have been occasions when I tell women what I do and they turn me down. One women told be point blank that she couldn’t be with me because I don’t make enough money to sustain her lifestyle.  

Anesha:

A job is a job. It doesn’t define who the person is. What it boils down to, for me, is who makes me happy.

Sheldon:

Well, it pays a role for me. Clearly I’m not looking for a lady of the night, a pole dancer, or a drug mule. I just need a woman in a decent, legal job.

Kimmy:

There is no pleasing some people. If the person is unemployed they complain, and if the person has a job they still complain about the type of job. I don’t pay much attention to job titles. He could go in to work today and get laid off or fired. I look for substance in a partner, not bragging rights so I can show off.
