HB: So what do you do for a living?
Me: I'm an inflatable fortress distribution engineer
HB: they either go huh? or ask whats that? (Or I just go and say the next part)
Me: You know the bouncy castles for tykes? I fix those. It may not pay as much as a doctor or a lawyer, but when I see those kids faces light up with joy, thats what I call job satisfaction.

When they finally crack you, always name your 'hobby'. I work in IT, but I play in a band. I always bring the band up first...cos thats more value.

But don't give up information.

HB: What do you do for a living?
PUA: Haha. Guess ?

Then you've created a whole new line of conversation to gain rapport. Tease her on what she choses;

HB: Like...in an office or something...
PUA: Ohh!! So I look boring to you, sitting behind a desk. Pffft. Bet you work in a library...
HB: HAHAHA...nooo I -
PUA: Shhhh.
HB: Thats not even funny! Blah blah
----more blah-----
PUA: You still didnt guess. You're losing the game haha
HB: I don't know, I give up.
PUA: Really? Knew you were a quitter ...I'm in a band.


Rough transcript of a succesful recent game where I used this to give you an example.

These sort of questions are perfect for expanding chances to neg/gain comfort/attraction/rapport depending on where it comes up.

Listen to this guy. You DHV, and then it also doesn't give up information. Remember, technically the less information you give away, the better. It leaves them interested.

For me it's usually something like...

HB: So what do you do?
ME: Oh, you wouldn't believe me. How about you?
HB: I work at x...

HB: So seriously, what do you do?
ME: During the day I buy and sell illegal immigrants on eBay at night I'm a pimp. I do some ass modeling on the weekends.
HB: haha...nu huh
ME: See told you that you wouldn't believe me!

HB: So are you going to tell me what you do or what?
ME: I'm a Senior Software Engineer and 30% owner of a startup software development company (the truth)

Seems to work pretty well, but I'm always open for ideas.

HER: do for living
YOU: STRIPPER

============> DHV

The other day I tried this one...

door to door sex toy salesman,
saving marriages one rubber dong at a time.

Worked out pretty well, got her talking about sex, and last night we had a rather stimulating conversation online. I'm assuming the phrase "I want you" repeated numerous times indicates a certain level of interest.

I think I know you... or more precisely, you know me.

I'm a huge fan of dolphin shaver. That's me tonight.

Beekeeping is also a personal favourite. I'm always in town for the beekeeping convention.

P.S... it's 'repair and reconstitution engineer'.

Maybe you could change "dolphin shaver" to "whale shaver", and then say you were inspired by a bumper sticker you saw that said "Shave the whales".

You could just say what your actual job is. Maybe that wouldn't be an issue if you just accepted your job and stopped seeking validation.

In this shit test I make her guess (Hoop theory) what type of work she thinks that I'm working in. Then I tell her if she is right or wrong. This as when I want to be mysterious I don't tell her directly but let her work for it. But what is wrong by telling her what job you have? OK... I do not mention that I have worked as a model as is that really a DHV job? Instead I tell her about my other jobs so I understand your point.
