I need some help.. I have a very weird job and Iīm not sure how to explain what it is about.. I realize that my job is very important for most of the women so sooner or later Iīll have to explain..
Until a year ago I had a very good job (although I got ruined in the IT crash). Now I have a new career and itīs working out very well. My new job gives me a lot of freedom, I can work from anywhere since I only use my computer and the net.
One of the reasons Iīm looking for a foreign woman is that I would love to discover a new country and a new culture. With my new job I can easily go and meet her and I would be able to stay for as long as I want.
I also have a very good income although I take some risks (not very stable and secure I guess). The potential for my job is great, few "real" jobs can offer the same rewards. The job demands great skill and good intelligence.
Some people think my job is immoral, but I donīt do anything dirty or illegal. Iīm very proud of my job but if I tell a woman about it she usually thinks Iīm weird or that I lie or something else. Most men think my job is great and some of them are jeallous. But I donīt want to impress men, I want to impress women..
If I tell about my job Iīm afraid noone believes Iīm serious.. My "job" is not serious, but the reason I do my job is only because a few years ago it was a challenge, somehow I mastered the profession and now itīs my living. I wouldnīt mind doing my old job again if a woman I loved wanted me to, but right now itīs too good income to quit.
So, how should I tell women about this? Trust me, I have VERY negative experiences of how women think about my job. I would appreciate your thoughts a lot, Iīm very concerned about this.. Iīm looking for a good woman with good values, Iīm afraid she doesnīt like my job.. Am I dishonest if I wait for a pretty long time before I tell her what I do?
Ok, hereīs what I do; Iīm a professional pokerplayer. Yes, you can play poker on the net and itīs secure and itīs working. Iīve played a lot in Vegas and in Europe but I prefer to play on the net. Itīs not a job I can recommend anyone, the gambling industry is bad for almost everyone.. and I understand that a lot of people thinks itīs bad.. For me itīs great though and you would be impressed to know how stable my income has been, even if Iīve had one bad month this year.
In 2 or 3 years I will probably change career again, I donīt know, but Iīm still a very experienced system developer and I have a lot of business ideas. Maybe I will give a better impression later in my life but I donīt want to wait..
Gambling and drinking are big problems for Russian men and assosiations to lowlife are a consequence. Finacial stability is often cited as areason for RW dating westerners. You can always say you're in 'business adventures on the internet' instead. It's not an immoral job, it's just not creative or productive. Doesn't serve anyone else. Then again, what is the stock market and half of business life about - much the same.
How do you play poker online? Do you have a visual uplink anywhere you go? There is something fishy about this, for playing poker is less about the cards than it is about reading behaiver...and you cant read behaiver online.
You seem to suggest that it's paying big bucks - How can it unless you cheat? - I thought games were all about risks and the odds never being in your favour - How can you turn the tables to work for you?
Lucky though - I mean not everyone can make a fortune on the internet and be able to travel where ever they like and continue making cash - Your very lucky!
A. You wrote "One of the reasons Iīm looking for a foreign woman is that I would love to discover a new country and a new culture." I thought we look to them for love? Don't mix business (love) and pleasure (exploring & touring).
B. Job description: How about "entreprenuer". (PS: You did well in a prior position. Until it crashed. This is going well. Keep in mind the risk of part 2.)
I think I can call myself a lot of stuff but in the long run I think I have to be honest.. But thanks for your input..
And to you who are confused about how I can win money on poker..; Poker is against other people, not against the casino. The casino takes a small fee in every pot but if you are better than the other players you will be able to make money in the long run.. So poker is very different from black jack and roulette. You canīt win in the long run in those games.
On Internet you canīt see your opponens but since all opponents have a nickname you can easily remember the ones who bluff alot or fold alot and if you are a good player you can learn a lot about their betting behaviour. Also, in all poker you need to know probabilities. If you have a fourcard flush and is trying to get the 5th flush card you need to calculate if you have the odds on your side, otherwise you have to fold or bluff.
Iīm only a semigood professional, for the best ones internet poker is really easy business.. look for yourself at www.paradisepoker.com... I canīt recommend anyone to try though, almost everyone loses and thatīs why Iīm able to win.
