If you gamble full time, what do you tell a girl you do

rm18 · 06-26-08, 07:11 AM

just tell them you sell weed since that is less stigmatized by society. But I would tell a girl i don't care.

Stacocakes · 06-26-08, 07:15 AM

That pretty much is true.Saying that you gamble full time seems for some reason like it is the worst possible thing that a person can do.
If you enjoy what you are doing and are making a living off of it I don't see why someone else should care.
If a girl tells me she works at a gas station or something I don't think less of her.I don't really care what the **** she does.Its not a big deal to me.

I usually try to hide what I do from girls when I initially meet them because I know that gambling has a bad stereotype in society and everyone thinks that people that gamble will lose it all blah blah. ANyways, how the topic of gambling always comes up is when a girl repeatedly asks, "how was work today" or "do you have to get up for work tomorrow", etc. Its easy to say that you are on vacation and don't go to work tomorrow but eventually they will wonder what is up.
What approach do you guys use? I guess you could always tell a girl that you went to work during the day and stuff like that and eventually tell her what you do if it progresses to that point but they could see that as lying and think you are untrustworthy blah blah.
Any opinions are welcomed because I am getting sick of girls judging me based on what I do

Sports investor risk management analyst is what I tell them.

I've tried saying investing before but then they ask what you invest in and stuff. Doesn't work

bettilimbroke999 · 06-26-08, 07:43 AM

I tell em I'm a degenerate sports gambler whose rent money is riding on a pitcher that just came off the DL, if they stick around after that you know it must be love.

jjgold · 06-26-08, 08:03 AM

Any girl with a guy that gambles serious is a fool and will have a miserable life.

RageWizard · 06-26-08, 08:04 AM

Why not just say that you are an investor, who looks for money making moves everyday the market is open. Then when she comes over for a nooner, you can have CNBC.com on your computer and act like you are interested in the stock market. This will eventually come back to bite you in the ass because while at dinner, she will always wonder why you need to sit at the bat close to the T.V. to see ESPN for the scores.

You're an investor.

and what if they ask what you invest in?

If the relationship is starting to head down a serious path, tell them the truth. If she doesn't understand or accept it, move on.

Bread · 06-26-08, 09:39 AM

Tell her exactly what you do...after you have sex with her of course.

If she sticks around great.

If not, so what. Find another one.

Robyn · 06-26-08, 09:42 AM

Bread, stop following me around!

p.s. you told me BEFORE we humpt

FreeFall · 06-26-08, 09:48 AM

I just sat her down one day and told her. I bet on sports and this is the last time were talking about it. So now when I grab out my laptop or set my alarm for early MLB games, she just goes what are you doing your sports? I say yes and we leave it at that.

Bread · 06-26-08, 09:48 AM

You're just lucky I won all my bets the weekend we met. Or things coulda been A LOT different.

fiveteamer · 06-26-08, 09:50 AM

The bread man is just giving sound advice. Just because it worked on you doesn't mean that the next man to try it should do exactly what he did. As for myself, I tell them up front and then make them hold a bet that they will still give it up afterwards.

Yep. I'd be living in Springfield Missouri, yucking it up with donkey dick.

In all seriousness fellas...don't be afraid to come clean right off the bat. If she expects you to spend all of your money on her, let her be somebody else's problem.

Ok, so what is the alternative? Keep it a secret, get serious about the woman and continue hiding it until it can no longer be hidden? If you want to be in a healthy relationship, it's always best to be honest up front. If you are just looking to sleep with women, there is no reason for them to know.

Kaps · 06-26-08, 12:06 PM

First tell them your retired
then tell them when your bored you trade stocks
Sports stocks that is

MrX · 06-26-08, 12:07 PM

If you're getting such negative responses you might not be explaining your job well enough. I've always told the truth and found it to be a great conversation starter.

Not only did I meet the love of my life after I had been a full-time gambler for 10 years, her mom even thinks it's the coolest thing in the world. It's very strange having your mother-in-law wanting in on all of your plays.

Stumpage · 06-26-08, 12:08 PM

Gamble full time.....

I like that one i mostly tell them i sell drugs . I will have to give that one a try

youngsc · 06-26-08, 01:12 PM

Just tell her that the reason you don't have an office to go to is because you own a bunch of sweat shops in the phillipenes. Tell her how cute it is to see those little kids sewing shirts in 100+ temperatures. Right when she gets that horrified look on her face then tell her you gamble full time, should lighten the load for her a bit.

topgame85 · 06-26-08, 01:14 PM

haha young your a genius

Marigold HD · 06-26-08, 01:24 PM

Some goods ideas guys......My old lady doesn't like it much, but she loves me enough to not worry about it......I try to keep it on the down low most of the time. Somedays when I lose, she gets a fustration lay

....Everyones happy!!!

I actually agree with you, I was just saying that I'm so enthusiastic about it that not only would I tell them up front, I would bet them about my chances of sleeing with them in the future.

It is rude to place marker on someones face. Just saying.

Just tell her the truth and show her a stack of your winnings, that will get her wet.

AgainstAllOdds · 06-26-08, 02:19 PM

This is what you do...If you dont feel like you can tell her...you say...

I invest in stocks. This only works if she acutally believes you. To get her to believe you, you must open up a account at etrade, scottrade fideilty...just pick one. Then whenever she is around leave a page open that has stocks on it and if she comes and snuggles with you and asks what your doing, just make sure you are always looking at a STOCKS page and then try to breifly explain what investing in stocks is about. Ive come to learn two things. They dont really know the diffrence anyway and as long as you making enough money to occasionaly take them out to dinner or buy them a birthday present...it doesnt matter what you do.

This might work if the girl was a complete moron in which case I wouldn't be around her. Body first, brains second but the brains had better be as good as the body.
