I already stated my opinion on the first page.

I date individual not just a professional. I will date a lady whose character is compatible with mine. grin

So what is your answer?

How did I miss it...
I don't think I can date a Pastor. Aside that, any man with a steady and legit source of income is good. Though I have the profession[s] I am attracted to, but it's not that serious.

You don't mean it You sound very educated. Perhaps what you meant was that you don't have a degree.

Well, that's my own interpretation of it. I have bigger goals & higher standards for myself.

TBH, I think it has something to do with pride. I think I'd be ashamed of his job because security guards are often perceived as being uneducated etc. To an extent it's true lol. I've met quite a few & the mental connection is often lacking. I'm not saying I'm educated because I'm not, but I pride myself on being knowledgeable & having a thirst to learn. So if someone is not on the same level, it's not going to work for me.
ok I understand you now.

Still, some security guards are quite knowledgeable. A few of my African Diaspora bros in your country(zim, Malawian and co) may take a job as security guard because of lack of opportunities but maybe very educated, even a few South Africans still going back to school. I get your point though. And what is this about you not being educated angry or knowledgeable, you want to play with my head hun?

Hahaha ok
it is not entirely bad though, we all have that little ego (pride) in us and we often set imaginary standards for ourselves.

So it's all good, you are cool though

A security guard or a male nurse. There's something girly about the title "male nurse".

I wouldn't want to date a Detective/Investigator because they have a suspicious personality because of the everyday deception that they encounter through their jobs. It makes them distrusting of others.

True on the standards thing. Self improvement is vital. If he's a dreamer like myself & actually has the drive to make his aspirations a reality, I'm all for it. I just wouldn't go for it while he's still carrying a torch & a baton though, sorry tongue

I recently hung out with a group of girlfriends I hadn’t seen in a very long time. I’d like to say that it’s because we’re all busy,so I was grateful to get the opportunity to catch up with my girls.

As usual, those ladies that were single lamented about their nonexistent relationship status. “Where were all the good guys?” “Why do they all live with their mama or have multiple baby mamas?” “How come they don’t have great jobs or make a lot of money?” I quietly sat there listening, not missing any of my single days. However, the more I listened, the more questions formulated in my head. “What constitutes as a great job?” “What is ‘a lot’ of money?” After all, those things are pretty relative, so I was curious to learn what types of guys they were attracting and why they felt these men weren’t good enough.

One friend said, “The doorman in my building asked me out on a date. Can you believe it? Like I’d date ‘the help’.” Suddenly, I began to understand why some of these women were still single.

“What’s wrong with the doorman?” I asked.

“Uh, he’s a doorman,” she responded, as if the answer was obvious.

I followed up by asking if it was just doormen she was against, or any man who was in a service/customer service type of job. After all, “the help” is not limited to doormen, maids, butlers, janitors or any other job that reminds her of “slavery” (her words, not mine). Service industries also include positions within sectors such as hospitality, sales, public health and any other position where your responsibility is to service or be of service to other people. But because those were still considered service industry jobs in a sense, were they too deemed not respectable? “Would she not date a man in any of those fields?” I thought to myself. What Occupation would stop you from dating or marrying Someone?
