Help me figure out his job.. lighthearted !

I'm chatting to a man on line.

In a sea of sleaze and creeps , he has been Interesting , witty and comes across as clever.
We'll chat again later but in the meantime I'm trying to figure out what he does for work! Lightheartedly !

He is very cagey about his work but Has said, in context, that he is well used to 'nasty people' all the time in his work, he works at weekends, his bio says professional and has a masters degree. His bio also says that he's happy to share photos but not on the actual dating app, due to his job.

His job can be very busy , very quickly or very quiet.

He's recently moved from one major city to another for this job and is waiting for an apartment to be ready. The apartment is in a very expensive area of that city , in a city where there is a huge scarcity of any rented accomodation and he is staying in a hotel for the last few months.

His job also involves night work.
Any ideas?

Claims to work nights and weekends, refuses to share photos? He's married. Probably works in an office.

Dontbelieveaword · 01/04/2023 16:18

I fear this is a scammer. They're always rich but waiting for some big deal to come off or similar, he'll be asking for money any time soon to help pay his hotel bill until his house is ready.
His job involves weekends and nights because he's either not in this country, or his wife and kids stop him making dates of a weekend

No photos - married.

His job can get very busy very quickly - laying the groundwork for cancelling last minute, not planing too far ahead, can’t book weekends away etc, because he’s married.

“Staying in a hotel while waiting for an apartment to be ready” - can’t take you to the marital home, obviously. All shags dates will need to be at a hotel or at your place. The apartment will never be ready.

If he's genuine, possibly security of some sort

2cubed · 01/04/2023 16:24

Oh gosh really???
He has no problem about Shari N phots or numbers . It is me who is delaying that as I dot like it when men are pushy.
My gut tells me he is genuine.
I'll find out soon enough I guess!!

Police

Dontbelieveaword · 01/04/2023 16:26

Have you arranged to meet up?

2cubed · 01/04/2023 16:28

Possibly meeting for a coffee tomorrow.

He's working today and off tomorrow.
I thought police too but when I read masters , I wondered because i thought police had their own promotion exams ?

So you have no idea what he looks like at all? Don't know what he does, where he lives?
Please be careful and make sure someone knows where you are and who with. If you move on somewhere else after coffee shop, keep your contact updated.

Dontbelieveaword · 01/04/2023 16:31

Oh, and of course, come back and tell us all about it😜

HamstersAreMyLife · 01/04/2023 16:32

I thought prison or police but wouldn't be staying in a hotel or waiting for expensive appt. I reckon married too

PsychoHotSauce · 01/04/2023 16:33

Copper or drug dealer - I speak from experience. Different men, not the same guy Grin

PoBaFla · 01/04/2023 16:33

The names Bond. Kevin Bond

😂

2cubed · 01/04/2023 16:35

I absolutely will!!!
I posted for fun as I'm here wondering what it is but because of all of the other information he gave me and was open about it all, I genuinely felt he was honest but private about his work but I dont know him , do not want to give my number yet as I've had some creepy experiences with that.
But if we are to meet tomorrow , I'll share photos and number later on.

A good friend lives in the same village as he says he's from so once I have more details , I'll do a bit of homework first!
I'll definitely be back though !!!

Hmmm, let’s see:

Works weekends
No photos
Suddenly very busy
Works nights
Lives in a hotel

He's either James Bond or he’s married. If I was a betting woman I’d put £10 on married since it’s a lot more likely than James Bond.

If you know his name Google him.

Prison Officer

2cubed · 01/04/2023 16:39

Don't know his surname yet ..

OP posts:
Dontbelieveaword · 01/04/2023 16:44

A prison officer would not suddenly become busy on a regular basis. Unless he was the governor and there were weekly riots. I may be wrong but I don't even think a police officer would be called in off shift on too regular a basis unless there was a major incident. All sounds a bit 🐟 to me but I'm a cynical bitch!

2cubed · 01/04/2023 16:48

Nurse ? Doctor ?

OP posts:
Dacadactyl · 01/04/2023 16:48

Sorry OP, but he sounds like a total bullshitter to me.

I mean yeah, he might work for MI5, but then he'd have a boring cover story ready for what he 'actually' does like "I work for the civil service".

2cubed · 01/04/2023 16:49

Findyourneutralspace · 01/04/2023 16:50

Nurse ? Doctor ?

Nope! Those folk would not be living in a hotel while waiting for an apartment.
