Pros and Cons of Dating a Salesman

I’ve done it once or twice and it can be quite fun. Just watch out for those bad days. Those might be the times to postpone that date.

PROS	CONS
He can talk you into just about anything	He can talk you into just about anything
High energy	He’s out golfing with his clients while you’re stuck inside your cube
Knows a lot of jokes	Long hours
He makes a good impression. Your friends will like him.	When everyone finds out he’s a salesman they like him a little bit less
When the commissions are good you’ll celebrate	When the commissions are bad you’ll stay in

Cons of dating a salesman is that they are really hard to trust. You can’t get jealous, because they are flirting all day long to make sales. They are schmoozers. Which is probably what won you over in the first place.

I am a salesman and owner of a business and reading these posts makes me not want to try that hard with women because of your thoughts regarding salesman. I know that if I want to, I can charm almost anybody into doing anything. For example, I was at the Cubs-Brewers game this week and I was about to get a ticket for smoking in a public place, when I talked the cop out of doing it. Afterwards, I felt kind of bad, because I used my charm to save myself money.

This is why I don’t like to charm women because I don’t want to end up hurting their feelings like women have been doing to me my whole life.

This is true with a lot of salesman, but not all. Don’t not give them a chance because of past negative experiences. Just my thoughts.

I think you’ve misunderstood me Mr. ?. I’m actually in love with a salesman and do appreciate the qualities about him that make him so good at his job.

I think it’s simple. Just follow the golden rule in all (99%) of what we do and good things will come your way.
