Your job isn't drying her up, your method is.

Your career isn't going to get her wet. Unless you are at minimum a B list actor/musician or in some sort of extremely masculine profession like stunt driver in action films all your career questions are about is determining your BUX qualities.

Your likely talking about it in a deadpan, sheepish or uninteresting manner. You need to sell the career as much as you sell yourself.

I'm an electronic technologist. I sell it as an electronic engineering systems technologist (That's what my program was called). When I get asked what that means, I tell them I work in all sorts of areas but for a while I worked with satellites and GPS.

The number of times I have seen their eyes light up with dollar signs is ridiculous. I have literally see eyeballs snap from other woman at the table who wasn't even paying attention instantly attempt to garner my attention.

The truth is when I did this job it was the lowest paying professional job I have ever had. My extent of working with satellites and GPS was installing a module to a Wi-Max repeater and testing the GPS lock in on a simple script I didn't even write.

It gets a fuck load of attention however. I have had conversations with surgeons and business men in airports who are impressed by me plugging in a cable and running a couple pings.

You just need to sell it properly.

I work in IT as well. I've told girls I just that and they seemed kind of indifferent. I've told other girls about my hobbies instead (music and photography - they are my actual passions. My job is just what I have to make a living) and they seemed impressed by it.

Next time I'm gonna downplay my job and start talking about my hobbies instead.

I don't let them know. Ever. I'll tell them any story or dodge the question or dodge her.

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you"

A bick lighter tester. Currently on disability. My thumbs hurt so bad I can't even play xbox all day.

Moving to Montana to become a Dental Floss Tycoon.

IT and Engineering are great jobs. Tell her the really technical term for you job and check her googling for payscale...

"I'm a lion tamer"

• Lead pencil Repair man
• Gardening and landscaping expert if you're the office/professional type.
• Comedian/actor if your the serious type.

Im actually a Massage Therapist and alot of the time when i mention it they automatically ask me for a shoulder rub/sample. Make them earn it.

TL;DR-make it fun and interesting, be mysterious and let them earn the answer.

"I fix disposable cigarette lighters".

I usually tell them that I sing the national anthem at cockfights.

You work at an ostrich farm.

"I work for the government, that's all I can tell you"

They know it's a joke but damn does it turn them on

I'm on the dole.

I make something ridiculous and obviously false up so she knows she's not going to get a straight answer.

To me, this question is just a backdoor method of figuring out how much money you make. If she's asking it then you've already messed up.

If you are built and can make interesting conversation and you get her to talk about herself then she won't be thinking about how much money you make.

So, if she asks you this question then she's either bored or decided you aren't that hot but maybe you could be her beta bitch down the road.

as others have stated, that wont dry up shit. That's a 'respectable' field that pays well.

At nightgame, if she asks this question early in the interaction it is usually a trap. Your honesty will be intepreted as desparation and she will be turned off.

Make her work for it to get any kind of information from your personal life.

Say something absurd so that she knows you are making fun of her.

"I work for the government. .... At night drive a big truck .. and collect plastic bags that people throw out of their homes.

Male stripper.

Easy. It even happened to me yesterday!

The key is to always treat it like a shit test in disguise, so:

• Spin the answer into something funny — "Oh, I'm the manager of the strip club down the road!"

• Agree (with her asumptions of a shitty job) & Amplify — "I scrub the scummy tiles in the back of a McDonald's bathroom with my bare hands! I love it!"

• Pressure Flip — "IT, where do YOU work?"

You're taking it too seriously and therefore inhibiting her from seeing you as a fun guy she'll enjoy riding on. Keep it simple, keep it fun.

"I'm a movie producer"

Don't ever tell a woman anything personal about yourself until she's at least sucked your cock or something. At the very least some boob action. They want to know how much you make and shit to compare you to other guys that are interested in her. Overall it doesn't help you at all.

Say anything but your actual job. Say you're a astronaut or w.e the fuck you want. Her hamster will spin and do the job for you.

Women love a mysterious man.

"You know the kind of job that you just hate to go to cause its just a chore anyone can do, and they pay shit?

Not that kind."

Shit man, why are you using your job as the selling point in the first place, and why would you want pussy from someone who doesn't respect what you do?

Maybe the pussy is drying up because you're discussing your fuckin job when you should be doing something fun?

Bullshit. Tell her.

This sounds good:
Engineer.
Engineer for a Fortune 500 company.
Contractor.

This sounds bad:
anything with technical terms, certifications, etc

I make them guess. "What do you THINK I do?" Or I'll tell them something dumb like pop song writer or male model. The clever ones pick up that I'm messing with them, the dumb ones I keep messing with to see how far it goes. Personal best: I talked about how hard it is to write pop songs for 90 minutes before I got bored and told her I didn't write pop songs because that's retarded.

I'm a bank robber

"I'm a <INSERT_ARTISTIC_PHRASE_TO_DESCRIBE_YOUR_JOB_IN_2_WORD> and they pay me waaay too much."
