Last year, I attended my first year at college, and when I met girls it was the pretty standard "yeh Im a first year Business major, whats your degree" BS chat up lines.
But this year, I quit college and am playing poker completely full time and Im not sure whether it will be +lifeEV if I go round telling girls I meet in bars that Im a poker pro. Overall, I think it depends on the girl, since you will get the type who will be like "WOW you made 40k in 3 months playing an internet game, thats awesome" and then the type who will be like "ZOMG you are dropout degenerate gambler".
Just a side question, what do people think is a good profession to tell people who you do not think should know that you are a poker player? I mean, I still want something that sounds impressive and can explain my decent income for my age, but not something that is A TRAGIC GAMBLING ADDICTION!!1!!
I dont care what anyone says on this topic, but how you present yourself is directly related to the type of girl you are trying to pick up. All the hoodies from my HS and university (ohio state) my not be overly impressed with the poker thing but as long as u got deep pockets and look clean your all good.
But.....if your looking for a upper class chick one who comes from a good background well educated and all that you dont stand a chance in hell with the poker pro line, u could have millions of $$$ in winnings immense house great cars,gear, everything but no girl from any standup family will give you 5 secs of time once they find this out.
my new favorite line from earlier in this thread "Equity analyst" going to give that one a try.
I used the 'day trader' line for a bit but it typically got the same reaction as poker pro so i dropped that.
