yep...girls and, more importantly, women do not like the professional poker player thing (unless you are absolutely rich). It's the whole evolution, looking for security thing.

I always say, "I'm self employed and work in financial risk/ money management. I've run my own business for a few years now and it's a great feeling to be a successful entreprenuer." If they ask a follow up, I say "I look for short-term positive ev situations and help move alot of money around for those that don't know better."

Only if you are getting routinely laid and dating the woman in question should the poker thing come up.
