best profession for picking up people in a bar

In My Humble Opinion

A war jounalist would have me in a minute. :slight_smile:

A friend of mine back in MA was a technician on fighter jets. That seemed like a pretty good deal in the pick-up game. You get the macho grease-monkey angle, but without the “low class” implications that some people assign to that.
You also get the macho military angle with (relativly) low risk, and as you don’t fight people directly, is less likly to scare people off. And it implies education without geekyness or poverty, which is basically the goal. If you pick up some artistic hobby, you’ve pretty much got all the angles covered.
For women, I’m not sure. Money’s a bit less important, so maybe something a bit arty, but not pretentious. Architect would be ideal, I think, though some kind of graphic or industrial design would do almost as well.

Architect works for either gender, now that I think of it.

Then again, you could throw pretense to the wind and just say you were a professional D&D player.

“Hey, babe, what’s your alignment?”

  1. Yes. Then I took the graduate course. (Amazingly early, if I do say so myself.) I was certified soon after.

  2. That is measured in TOI (Toaster Oven Increments.) Basically, whenever you convert someone to the dark side, you recieve a toaster oven. These are upgradable. Right now I’m working on the chateau in the South of France. (Only three more!)

  3. There’s dental, but they don’t pay for my glasses. There’s a movement to correct this.

  4. Professional lesbians are expected to conduct themselves professionally wherever they go. It’s so much more than an occupation.

Well, maybe not now that he’s dead…

Telling the girls I was an artist was always good.
Infinately more interesting than a lot of jobs I’ve heard described over the loud thump of a club’s sound system.

Me: So what do you do?

Her: Well, I coordinate a system… :thump thump thump: processing the data into… :thump thump thump: summing the information… :thump thump thump: in conjunction with…
about 60 hours a week. You?:thump thump thump:

Me: Im an artist. :thump thump thump:

Her: Really? What kinda art? :thump thump thump:

ME: I’m a cartoonist. :thump thump thump:

Her: A what? :thump thump thump:

Me: Cartoonist! I draw pictures of talking cats and whatnot. :thump thump thump:

Her: Um, neat. I see my friend, gotta go. Bye!

:thump thump thump::thump thump thump::thump thump thump:
Note: I said it was interesting, not effective.
