I'm a 42 year old male, i have been on a dateing site and i have had a lady contact me, we e-mailed each other and i sent my mobile no: just to make contact easier, we seemed to be getting on ok, she said in a text that she was on the road alot, and asked what i do for a living? a Coach Driver i replied, opps!!!!, that was 8 hrs ago, so my Question is: Is it so important what you do for a living? after all she did see my photo's and my profile, but as soon as i mention what i do for a living bang, i feel like crap.

Hey Staff dont feel like crap!! that is terrible you should be proud you have a job and a coach driver is as good a job as any other job.
Look at it another way. Maybe she has a pay as you go mobile and her credit has run out. Maybe she just hasnt had time to reply.... there are lots of reasons..... why dont you give her the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe you should text her and ask if she has a problem with you being a coach driver....
Good Luck what ever happens... you deserve better than a person who is worried about what your job is...

Right. IF she is genuinely interested in you, then what you do for a living should not be of any importance whatsoever. IF, however, she seems to go cold at you after you told her what you do for a living, then you should definitely give her up. If a woman loves a man, he could be a postman, a rubbish-picker or a salesman (not that i have anything against those...:D) for all she cares: she'll still love you.
If your job poses a problem to her: then she's not worth you.
Besides, what's wrong with being a coach driver? Coach drivers are cool and kind and we'd all be in a hell of a trouble if they weren't any!!! :D
Take care and good luck.

Sorry pal but if she really liked you, it would not matter if you were a s--t House cleaner. My guess is that she is one of those women [and there are plenty of them], that frequents these sort of dating sites for what she can get, and relies on us men being vunerable, which we all are to a certain extent. So she probably sees men as meal tickets and enjoys being a gold digger. Just carry on being yourself, you will get there in the end, as you are a little wiser now. I have nothing against these sites, and there are plenty of nice women also. You will find the right one eventually, I guarantee it. Good luck, H.

thats really unfortunate but I dont think you would want to be with a person who judged you based on what you did for a living. I think a lot of girls do it .
The girl that will end up with you will approve and respect what you do. Shes not the one for you. The online dating thing can be fun but hard too. Good Luck I hope you meet that special someone.

Personally, it's not important to ME. But who knows with other, more superficial people? Maybe if she was on the road she couldn't text you back right away or something. Give her a little more time before you jump to conclusions.

I'll tell you what... It does matter to some and it doesn't to others. Personally I feel that whoever you end up with shouldn't care what it is you wear or do. It should be about who you are as a person, your morals and whether they can enjoy time with you. If it matters to someone what you wear or do for a job then that girl is not right for you.

If what you do for a living matters that much to her, then she wasnt out to get to know YOU in the first place. She sounds like one of those women who care only about money and status. Find yourself another woman, there are plenty out there who will love you for you, not what you do.

i am sorry you feel like crap. but unfortunately in this day an age, it is to some people.
when i met my husband he was a mechanic, he could have been a dishwasher for all i cared.
but there are a lot of superficial people in the world today.

It depends on the woman. If it someone who is worth trying for it should not matter. Never feel like crap for what you do. Good luck. I hope it works out for you.
