what do you tell people you do? - GoFuckYourself.com

billywatson · 04-09-2003, 06:09 PM

So you're sitting at Granny's house, and she asks how work is...and what exactly it is you do...and your reply?

Or, you're on the _____ date with someone who really does it for you, and they ask something like..."so tell me what kind of graphic design you do?"

Who's tellin' the truth?

Just curious....

AdultNex · 04-09-2003, 06:12 PM

I haven't had to reply to anything like that, but I'd say something to the effect of:

"I do graphic and web design for large businesses and small companies alike. Both mainstream and other related niches".

I wouldn't get into the nitty-gritty details.

gothweb · 04-09-2003, 06:14 PM

Generally, I tell people that I do "web design". If they are family, and they push, I mostly make stuff up. Friends can know, and certainly girls I am interested in get the truth.

Neither of my girlfriends mind what I do. Very few of my friends even blinked, and everyone is cool with it.

NetRodent · 04-09-2003, 06:17 PM

I tell people I masturbate caged animals for laboratory experiments.

I tell people the same thing, but when they ask specific questions I show them my degree in aerospace engineering and that shuts 'em up.

Almost everyone knows I work in computers, like fixing them, and I do some web design, but atleast no one ever said about those sexy pink Oliver Klozov checks I get

LadyMischief · 04-09-2003, 11:06 PM

General Public Consumption: I'm a professional Photographer (which I am, I do a lot of mainstream photography as well)

Anyone I have met more than twice who I know won't completely flip, if I care: I do porn.

Nothing to be ashamed of, but not much point alienating myself from the get-go without feeling the waters first. Besides, I'm a mother in an EXTREMELY small community. I have to maintain SOME modicum of decorum.

SBJ · 04-09-2003, 11:09 PM

I tell them I do web design and web promotion, some people ask me more questions but I try to side step those questions.. Last night I picked up some skank at the bar and after she sucked me off in her hot tub she asked me and I was so trashed and didn't care so I told her I promote porn and she didn't care.. I hope I never see her again but I guess a BJ is a BJ

so if i know someone, i'll tell them what i do. is it someone i've met for the first time, i'll say that i'm a student, and hoping that they don't ask what i do for a living...

sherie · 04-10-2003, 07:38 AM

Most of the people I know, know what I do. When it comes to granny et al., I basically just say that I am the Director of Sales for a Marketing company. I think that over the years they have figured it out, but just haven't said anything.

JimW · 04-10-2003, 07:41 AM

"internet consulting"
design, etc.

Danny_C · 04-10-2003, 08:34 AM

I tell everyone the truth except in two cases:

A: I think the person would be extremely offended, and it's a person I'd prefer not to offend.

B: It's either a law enforcement or media type or someone I think might talk to law enforcement or media types.

To those people, I say internet consulting.

Webdesign... when they ask for URLs I throw my mainstream sites at them... when they start wondering how can I make a living with those, and why I'm not working for a big corporation I change the subject. I will have to come up with something better one day....
I guess when I make my first million that wont be important anymore, I'll just tell them I make money.

Unless I really want you to know what I'm doing, I'm a college sophomore majoring in web design.

For everyone else, I write erotica and maintain a couple of groovy smut sites.

My friends and family know, when the questions start, I tell them that its the same as any job, if you made donuts, you'd be tired of seeing them sometimes. Other days, you dont mind seeing a few donuts.

This is one of those posts that comes up every 2 or 3 months. It's the "I'm ashamed of what I do so I lie about it...What is YOUR lie?" post.

My family knows what I do, as do my friends. I don't lie about it. If someone finds out I'm a photographer and asks what kind of photography I do, I tell them "I do girlie photography," which is what it is and should be to anyone who's comfortable with it.

I don't call it "pornography," because that is a pejorative description literally meaning "pictures/writings of whores." It's a term that belongs to people who don't like it. It shouldn't be used self-descriptively by people in the industry. We are in the "adult entertainment industry" not the "porn industry" if you really want the industry to prosper.

daddio · 04-10-2003, 11:33 AM

When I was being interviewed for a position as a sr. engineer at jpmorgan, the interviewer asked me what i meant by webdesign in my resume and the statement "up to 80k hits a day." I told him the truth, that porn is the biggest industry on the net and that's how I learned to design/code. (Not that i was actually successful in it) He laughed at first but then respected me ever since
