Default Re: Meeting Girlfriends Parents/Playing Poker Summer Job

honestly, ppl exaggerate the negative opinions of others when it comes to poker.

if you answer with confidence and explain how the game came naturally to you and how you could make a good amount of money that will set you up for future endeavors, ppl won't think you suck at life.

i told my girlfriend's dad and i tell ppl all the time if they ask.

i graduated w/ a BA in English and Philosophy and got a job that has nothing to do with that. so when ppl look surprised and ask how i got the job, i explain that i got it through poker.

i dunno, just don't act ashamed of what you do just b/c you anticipate a negative response.
