You spend so much time in your own head about what things mean rather than just going with the flow of things that you make things harder on yourself.
While I do agree that this is mostly mental masturbation, it does matter to most women and deserves some thought; From personal experience, I'm pretty sure that, even though I make much more than the average working person, that my job title is a HUGE turn off for women. I am by trade a Registered Nurse. Every single time I've told a woman that I am an RN, it's almost always caused an immediate disinterest (verbal/body language/etc).
On top of that, on a dating app, I recently changed my education level to Master's degree (which I will have soon) and changed my job title to something less known, that doesn't actually make any more money than what I do now. I went from getting 1 match per month if that to getting like 1.5 per week. Most women have asked me what it is that I do. I have also had talks with mature female friends, and they admit that a male being an RN is a huge turn off. Not only that, there are studies that have shown certain titles are more enticing to women. One of them is teacher.
Moreover, because it is such a common topic in conversation as noted, I would be hard pressed to say that a woman that is willing to sleep with you would not be more inclined to do so if she knows you're educated and have a good job. The first thing many married women say about their spouses, when introducing them, is what they do for a living. I hear often "Oh he's a doctor", or "He's an biomedical engineer." Though yes, women screening you for a good job are more than likely thinking what's this guys LTR potential?
OP what do you do for work...?
