Why are all these random guys asking you what you do?

People our age in the towns we hang out in are normally college students. When people are trying to start a conversation and build rapport they will often ask you what you are studying. When you say your not in school it makes the conversation very awkward if you don’t say what you do. Depending on how you say it they will probably assume you are a burnout/loser because many people who drop out of college are.

I dunno, I would think it's kinda cool to have people who barely know you think you're a degenerate bum when in fact you're very successfull. Maybe this gets old after awhile, though? I guess when the person you're talking to is a hot girl it matters, but with anyone else who cares?

you are what you are jman. say you play poker and make "boatloads" or you "make enough" or you "live well" or you say exactly how much you make. it doesnt matter anymore. you decided to be an internet poker player so thats what you are. you know ppl dont understand it and you know you cant make them understand. who cares what ppl think?

Walk around decked out in SIHB clothing.
Get a tape of you being on TV at Tunica or UPC and hand it out to everyone you see.
Yell OMGCLAYAIKEN and run away whenever anyone asks you what you do.
Tell people you are married to Unarmed

Stop caring what people think of you?

I don't like when they look down on me like I'm homeless.

It makes them feel good with having to work for a living for the next 50 years, and you should feel good too because they're wrong. Everyone wins.

Carrying around a briefcase filled with Benjamins, then pulling them out, lighting them on fire, then lighting big fat Cuban cigars would probably remedy this situation.

Victor is right. You are a professional poker player, there's no point in lying to people or trying to get around saying it. There's no shame in it. But you also knew when you began doing this that no one would understand. So just tell them you do well or say you make six figures or whatever it is you want to make it clear to them you aren't a bum.
