Would your partner having a menial job bother you?

LadyGardener · 01-12-2011 06:11PM #1

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 · 01-12-2011 06:12PM

Not in the slightest.

fiinch · 01-12-2011 06:12PM

not if she was smokin hot

July · 01-12-2011 06:13PM

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

AnonoBoy · 01-12-2011 06:13PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:16PM

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

Raging_Ninja · 01-12-2011 06:17PM

Personality is more important to me than her job description.

policarp · 01-12-2011 06:17PM

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?

Celly Smunt · 01-12-2011 06:21PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:23PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:25PM

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

Jaxxy · 01-12-2011 06:25PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:27PM

No

Chuck Stone · 01-12-2011 06:27PM

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.

Wompa1 · 01-12-2011 06:27PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:32PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:32PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:33PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:38PM

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 · 01-12-2011 06:42PM

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.

Would your partner having a menial job bother you?
