alternatively, you can not own a car, and dress like a bum all the time...but if you can make the girl laugh and have just a little 'game' and have confidence in yourself and what you do it's not too hard. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, you probably dont need the game or confidence either. -SmileyEH

He's old, but not married. Still, his approach could work with a blind girl. I have full confidence she would love you. PS - "Game" as bob puts it is even more important than anything else. But without decent looks, you won't even get to say "hello". Pretty unfortunate, but true (at least in Vegas and Cali). [/ QUOTE ] True elsewhere too

One particular stretch it was all part of my 'game'. because it's so ridiculous to actually BRAG about being "short, bald, old, broke and unemployed" that they just can't help but laugh.

Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
I remember that this issue came up awhile ago. The best way to respnd to this question is "I work with retards." It's true and will let females know what a humanitarian you are.

Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
I'm in your situation.
I just tell people I'm a proffessional poker player. If you make all of your money from poker then that is your title. If you go to college thats even better. "im playing poker proffessionally while I work on my degree. If you don't like that idea, tell people your parents support you or say you are a web developer. Thats how I got my 1st apartment. Most people I told didn't like it at first(confusion that its pure gambling), but I say it with confidence in my voice now and answer most reasonable questions with a quick simple response. I act like its normal. I would focus on the good things about poker. Money, spare time, you can do it whenever you want. If you act like your bragging they will become jealous which means they respect you now, but they dispise you on the inside because they have to work hard and you dont. OH WELL [censored] EM the goal is to make money, and your good at it so stand tall and be proud. As for the car, you might as well have one. Not to impress girls(although you can), get it for convienence. Trying to get rides is a pain in the ass. GL

Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
To be honest if your embarrased telling people about what you do, maybe they arent the sort of people you should be hanging around with. If your making good money why should it bother you what people think?

Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
if i said to anyone im a pro poker player(im not). They'd all be impressed.
Theres always the old "OHH BANKCRUPTY, BEATEN UP BY THE MOB, ADDICTION" thoughts running through their minds but it seems its quite the "hollywood" type job. People seem to be impressed in UK anyhow.
