I've got a good job but never really mention it, as soon as I did to some girls I've known for a time. As soon as I did they saw me in a different light, they'd always just viewed me as a sound bloke from the pub. Gold diggers?

You can mention it but you should really be asking about them women love to talk about them selves.
Just dont use the job as a tool. it's not anyone can say that they do anything.
I do agree that people in general base the way they treat people on how good a job they do!! which inst right, We all know that girls love money so it is only natural for them to look at you in a different light, They see shopping trips and holidays and you start to look like a walking wallet.
But hey as long as you get what you want out of them who cares!!!!
Just remember they are gold diggers and treat them accordingly.
Have fun.
P.s. You should join my group of friends then you wouldnt feel so bad about having a great job. Oh and you have to be able to shoot pheasants aswell.

Oh definately gold diggers!
Why not just kinda play it down when the ask you what you work as - like if you were a big architect or something just say you work in construction - that kinda thing - that way you're not lying about what you do - but just not letting them know quite how well to do you are!
You need to be really careful as there are some girls out there that trawl the streets looking for well to do guys like yourself.

Definately gold diggers. Never ever mention how much you earn. You always get the wrong type of women after you.

You have to ask yourself a few questions. Do these ladies now ask you for more drinks and favors than before? Is there one that actually treats you with more respect and gazes into your eyes or you catch shyly watching you? If you answered yes to the former question they are gold diggers and if you were lucky enough to answer yes to the former, you may have met the ying to your yang (so to speak).

It depends on what you're looking for. A little fun or a potential wife.
If it's a wife I would go the opposite direction. Downplay the material side and see who is still interested in you. Then you will have found someone who can love you for your true self. Think of it as a golddigger screen.

I don't know about these girls at your pub but, if someone has a interesting or well paid job I am very interested and want to hear about it and i openly show how happy I am for them. I don't want their money, I am just interested to know what people do with their lives!

Don't know, depends on your style and the circumstances.
I suppose it is right they know what your job is. Mentioning is not "playing on your job", it is just saying who you are. But obviously you probably are not looking for a girl who "looks for guys with the right jobs", so that makes you decide when is the right time to mention.

Probably, if they were not interested in you before they knew you were successful, and then suddenly became interested, Hello, you have answered your own question. A mans worth is not in his employment it is in his character. You would be the same person without the job. So, I think you have already answered it for yourself. Good luck and God Bless.

I'd say if you're single you should use evey trick in the book to attract the opposite sex, but yeah these girls do sound a bit shallow. What are you anyway Diamond importer or something????

I would be very vague about your work details - it can either come across as showing off or can lay you open to gold diggers.
