Professions That Get an Automatic No
August 13, 2010 8 Comments
Welcome to Another Edition of Light Fridays
I am not the type of girl that asks, “So what do you do?” upon meeting a man for the first time. To me, it is a tacky, pretentious, and superficial conversation regardless of gender. Nonetheless, at some point it is bound to creep into conversation. Generally, I believe people are more than what they do. Very few people are fulfilled in their day-to-day jobs, so potential to be more is still abundant. Contrarily, there are a few occupations that when a man tells me he does, I am automatically turned off and have to restrain from making an outward grimace.
1) Police Officer: There are good cops and there are bad cops. While I enjoy the benefits of good cops doing their job, I would never be compatible with the type of man that wants to be a police officer. Even if I can past the power trips and ego complexes, I can NOT get past the way they walk. It is usually stiff and awkward, and it just screams I’m corny.
2) Code/Parking Enforcement: I live in D.C. with out-of-state tags on my car. Enough said. Seriously, if you have ever tried to park in D.C or NYC, I know you and your wallets have felt my pain. That said, I have a moral obligation not only to myself, but to everyone that has justly or unjustly received a parking ticket to never give you any play. Ever.
3) Preacher: I LOVE Jesus, make no mistake about it. I was raised southern Baptist, so the church is another member of our family. But I could never date a preacher because I don’t want to be preached to every day.
Him: How was your day?
Me: It was okay.
Him: Just okay? You pray about it? You know are too blessed to be stressed!
Me: *side-eye*
Okay, I have to ask, what professions would you consider? What exactly are you lookiing for in your ideal man?
Blessings on you and yours

LOL!! All other professions would be considered. And I am looking for a smart and funny critical thinker.
Funny!!
LOL! Thank you for the read and comment!
How do you feel about military men?
Not asking specifically because of myself….I am asking because I’ve noticed that military men have a bad rap among some women. Somewhere down the line, women generally got to thinking that all men in the military are liars and abusive cheaters. Of course, I don’t roll like that, but I do get to hear about it from some of y’all.
Joel, military men are cool. I’m indifferent unless they have actually been to real life war. That is an additional element to take into consideration in a relationship.
Ol’ bougie ass. #thatsall
How so?
