do women care about the guy's career?
sorry if this isn't as deep as some of the recent posts, but a couple friends and i were talking about this last night.

i make a decent living and am still early on in my career, which will probably change a few hundred times. but when i meet women at a bar or party, and i get asked "what do you do?" my answer never excites them.

do women give much thought to what a guy does for a living when they meet? and before you women say how it doesn't matter, all you care about is personality and all that, please give an honest answer.

Hi K.G., can I ask - what is it that you do? (Answer as if you were telling a woman at a bar or at a party.)

i'm in finance.

that's what i think i say to women. i'm at an accounting firm, although my potential plan is to eventually move to the company side (maybe as a CFO one day, or doing acquisitions).

I thought maybe the way you present women with what you do was causing the reaction. If you present without enthusiasm or interest then the odds are pretty good they would react just the same. I think finance and being in the business world is pretty exciting. But if you just say, "I'm in finance" and leave it there, some women aren't going to know how to react to that, or may feel intidated by it. Intimidated because they don't know what it means. So maybe explain more, "I'm in finance and i do XYZ for ABC company, etc." explain what you do in an accessible and interesting way. Women aren't bored by finance but they may not know what to say without more info. But besides this, chicks dig financial men - wearing a suit and tie to work really turns some women on!

I don't think a guy needs to be settled in his career, but I do think that he should have some sense of it, either near or far term, (I'm in my mid-20s, so maybe sometime in their 30s would be good).

By the way your job seems fine to me. No girl should turn you down because of it :)
