Is this really true? I actually am a receptionist, so I found this funny.

I'm not going to lie about my job or career. I don't volunteer details but I'm not going to straight up pretend I do something else. If he has a problem with it it's better to know early on. Scrotes reveal themselves really fast.

Eh well if he shows his true colors after learning my field of work then that counts as a successful vetting strat (imo). Even the broke dusties who leech will eventually out themselves, you just have to be up on game. I keep it straight to the point (career/job title) with no other information. I absolutely refuse to dim my light or be "humble" in order to soothe his ego.

As a retired teacher, I absolutely tell them what I do. They’re cool, not a problem. Excessive praise about “everything teachers put up with” I ask him to explain: invariably he was a shit student and is projecting and feels guilty. Block and delete. If he outright brags about being a shit, block and delete and ghost hard. One of the many ways I knew I loved Jack, late husband was that he was an English professor and had ultimate respect for me as a K-12 teacher who laid the groundwork for his older students.

It’s not emasculating, they are emasculated. I 100% believe I am not intimidating, only scrotes are intimidated. I didn’t advertise my successes when I was single but I certainly never denied them.

This is pick me propaganda masquerading as real advice. It's better if the trash takes itself out sooner than later.

Unfortunately, most men do act like this. A woman who’s an engineer, Doctor, or lawyer will be seen as competition by the male and won’t be treated with the same love and acceptance as a receptionist would be. He’ll feel “needed” by the receptionist and not the doctor. But the sinister side of this is that the real reason he’d prefer a receptionist is so that he has more control over her. A woman who’s making really good money doesn’t “need” a man I.e. she’s not going to be dependent and will have the resources to leave him. So he figures why put in effort with a woman I won’t be able to control and act any old way with? I try not to tell men what I do for a living, as it immediately turns them off. I also try not to talk about having been in the Army. I can’t really change how men think and feel, but I can give myself a chance for them to get to know me as a woman before they find out that I’m accomplished.

I honestly feel you cant win with insecure guys

My experience (as someone with a "high power" job):

If you're more educated than then, they feel emasculated

If they have the same level of education as you, they compete with you and neg you

Either way they make you feel bad about your accomplishments

Yes, it’s true, I get a lot of dusties when I say I’m a lawyer. But none of that when I say I’m admin.

Never give a man specific details about your job. Keep it vague, vague, vague. This is to protect against stalkers in the early stages of dating. If you are a nurse, say you work in Healthcare. If you tell the truth, the next Q can be "what hospital, what department" and the next thing you know Pete the Creep is lurking around when you knock off

since I make enough to spoil myself sometimes and can buy my own nice dinners, the appropriate reaction for them would be to want to improve upon that. otherwise they aren’t bringing enough to the table. That’s why I would not want to have a relationship with someone who makes less than I Do.

What happens when I want to take a nice trip and they can’t afford to take me? I either have to pay for him to come along or just not bring him along and then he will resent me for spending my hard earned money on him. lose-lose

No. It's not.

Ladies, if you are a doctor you can still get that man. Priscilla Chan, pediatrician, did not dumb herself down! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Chan

Too bad dusties cast a wide net and try to catch whatever's out there; from high earners to those just making minimum wage to the student to the unemployed... if it's a woman, he'll try his damn best to finesse a penny out of her. It's really just so gross.
