Would your partner having a menial job bother you?

LadyGardener

There is a personal reason behind me asking this question (I'd be the one in the menial position) but I won't bother going into my personal circumstances because I suppose I'd like the thread to be more general.

Would you be morto to introduce your girlfriend the cleaner or your boyfriend the burger flipper? (Just random examples)

flutterflye

Not in the slightest.

fiinch

not if she was smokin hot

July

As long as she wasn't a gardener. I'd be morto about that :P

AnonoBoy

I've never introduced girlfriends as "This is my girlfriend the X, Y or Z". I've always just introduced them by name*.
















*or sometimes by model number

token56

If they were something like an executioner maybe but other than that not really.

Raging_Ninja

Personality is more important to me than her job description.

policarp

So you got a job gardening, then?
What's wrong with that?

Depends, what age are you? is it just a short term job?
Have you other plans for the future?

I'm the man,but my pay has always been menial.But my job is sexy so it balances out.

I do have other plans but my last job didn't end well due to health issues and that is buggering up any plans I do have.

billybudd

I would be ashamed if i was ashamed how other people made money or chose what they wanted to do in life or had to do in life this whole snobbery business is sterile.

HalloweenJack

I'd be embarrassed if my GF used "morto" as a word in English.

Jaxxy

Not in the slightest. Doesn't matter to me what he does, whatever the age. So many more important things.

I'm 26.

You don't plan on doing this job for ever, it's just a stop gap to better things.
No reason to be bothered about it.

Why does it depend? whats age got to do with it? and whats future got to do with it?

Latchy

No

Chuck Stone

Nope.

If I can have a semi-intelligent conversation, if she has a smile for me when we meet and if we can have a good time together then I couldn't give a fuck about her job tbh.

I think caring about what your partner does for a living is pretty exclusive to women and most likely a very particular type of woman.

I dunno you are the one with all the questions, you must have the answers.

That blowjob could affect your welfare payments.With the budget next week it could cause you untold misery.

rainyrun

no would be happy my partner had a job..and would respect them even more if they took any job menial or otherwise rather then remain umemployed!!!..

guitarzero

I'd be more embarrassed if I introduced my family to someone who used the word 'morto'. The fact you used this term really gives the story away, no personal details required.

Duggy747

My GF is a hairdresser and it's oh-so terribly exciting when I hear of the latest antics of Brendan Courtney or the insane amount of money wimmen spend on their heads or how incredibly feminine male models look at these fashion shows she does be working in.

Also, when I tell other women where she works they go all "OMG, I know that place because it does ashkjaohjnvsdjkdjlkknlfsdyhtuoidwfhnlksdf......"..............at this point I've no idea what any of them are talking about :pac:

So, no, don't matter what job they have.

Logical Fallacy

Nope, i've had loads of menial jobs, be a bit odd if i looked down or was embarrassed for people who did similar work.

Chances are when i get back into the workforce it will be a pretty menial job anyway, so hopefully my big shot girlfriend doesn't think less of me.

BunShopVoyeur

If your partner is bothered about something like that then they are not worth the effort.

Just a personal opinion, shallow crap like that bugs me.

IvyTheTerrible

It wouldn't bother me what my partner does for a living, once he does it with enthusiasm (and it's not harming other people).

I read this quote from Martin Luther King once and it sums it up for me:

"[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. Be be the best little shrub on the side of the hill.

Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are."[/FONT]

Ah but sure, does it not seem a bit childish introducing a long term partner as a boyfriend or girlfriend?

I'd use it around strangers anyway........

Wouldnt even enter my head. Snobbery makes my dick go soft.

Hahahaha - well said! This and 'morto', still wonder how you knew a word like 'menial'...

The use of that word there was flippant, yeesh.

Though I'm interested to know what using the word signifies, do elaborate.

Being a hairdresser isn't menial though.

kkdela6

At the risk of bringing up a huge cliche, the way things are now if he/she has any kind of job they're not doing too bad

Eathrin

If the genders were reversed though! I can imagine a minority of women would indeed feel bothered by this.

I couldn't use it. 'Partner' sounds like either a legal, professional term, or something you'd find in a barndance, reminds me of that song 'skip to my loo'.

If I called my boyfriend my partner, he'd crack up laughing. I suppose boyfriend is childish but sure isn't it better to be young at heart?

Lady Gardener - did you just thank someone for having a hard penis...? :eek:

Are you on the wrong website...? :rolleyes:

I agree with you, I'd never use it around anyone I know.......firstly because I'd feel weird saying it and second, they'd take the piss

Woman on beach screams to lifeguard: "Help, my husband the brain surgeon is drowning!"

Which is the more likely, do you think?:rolleyes:
