I don't know why so many of you give a damn what other people think. [censored] Them. If the girl is OK with it that's all that matters, if she isn't than get a new girl.

Christ....this is not a spot to be skirting the truth....just tell them.

Ive been with the same girl for the bulk of my time as a full time poker player but I told her parents what I did within a week of knowing her.....aside from her parents being [censored] for other reasons this didnt create problems.

Seriously though, in the end, nothing good can come here from anything but being honest.

LOL if I was the father, I would just LMAO if someone said this and assume that he was an unemplyed freeloader...but that's just me.

Also many people think that poker = degen gambling, so you don't want to mention that.

I wouldn't have a problem with it, but I'm certainly in the minority because I'm a poker playing parent. However, he still wouldn't get off easy with me. I can assure you the next question out my mouth would be, "May I see your PT stats, please?"

Wtf, you're not the IRS. If you're actually requesting proof of how much money your adult daughter's boyfriends make, it's really weird.
