Guys: Would you ever marry a bartender?

yeah. it makes no difference what the person's occupation is. UNLESS they're a hooker

Well after dating a female bartender for almost two years, I'd have to say no. I'm a day walker with a 9 to 5 and we just never had much time together. Friday and Saturday nights got lonely. Not to mention on our few days off together she'd sleep to 1 pm. And another problem people don't realize is once they get use to that life it's really hard to get them to want to change it. I wanted her out of the industry because I felt that it had no real future, and I didn't want to see her bartending at 40. shes 29 now. She loves bartending and that's where she wants to stay. I think most guys during the honeymoon phase of a relationship will deal with it, but after a while it starts to bother them. In my case wanting something better for her just pushed her away. I believe one day she will realize that this isn't something most people do a career for a reason. So... Would I marry a bartender. Only if she had something else she was working towards in life.

Date? Yes. Marry? Probably not. First of all, bartenders hours are shitty so she'd be working nights all the time. Secondly, she'd be surrounded by drunks and getting hit on on the daily. And thirdly, it's not a very rewarding job in the long run. If you're in your early or mid 20s, it's great because you make easy money. But past that point, it's kind of bad. No benefits. And it's not very intellectually stimulating. I'd much rather have a wife who was a teacher, a doctor, a nurse, clerk, actress, therapist, scientist. Anything. That's just my honest opinion.

To be fair, though, it ultimately depends on you. Your personality would be the defining factor. If you proved to be trustworthy and a good person, that it wouldn't really matter in the end.

If he was boring I wouldn't have dated him in the first place so no. I am demisexual and before my Hubby and I started dating we were friends for a few months and I found a lot of things about him in that time and he is sweet, funny, romantic, adventurous and if a guy wants to date me he has to have those qualities. I don't need a good provider 'cause I have my own money and I don't want a risk taker or somebody who is unpredictable because that never works out for anybody. I was in some VERY abusive relationships with guys when I was younger who I thought were nice but turned out to be assholes so unpredictability is the last thing I want and when you get to 29 and have 2 children you want a guy who is stable and non risk taking.

Why not? Most bartenders are hot and can hold great conversations. At the end of the day it's just a career that pays the bills and doesn't reflect wether or not they will make a good spouse. Other things determine that.

One of my good friends married a bartender....she cheated on him with one of hos best friends.

As a female (and a former bartender) when i was bar tending i NEVER met the kind of guy that i ever would have considered having a long term relationship with. I think that is because the guy that want to date bartenders and not the long term relationship kind of guy. Most guys like to have fun with the bartenders, but don't want to marry the bartenders. No man wants his wife and possible mother of his children bar tending. Just my personal experience.

I dated a bartender for 1.5 years and we never had issues. Some, uh most guys have a complex about it, you know, the what are you doing? type accusations. It comes from being at the bar all the time and everyone always thinks the bartender is hot. So absolutely. Its a good job to have.

Of course. The profession has nothing to do with the person. I will marry a garbage worker if I love her.

Plus a Bartender can hold a very good interesting conversation.

I would love having a bartending wife! (assuming the more important relationship issues are good between us)

I mean, I wouldn't get jealous of her flirting with the customers, and I would trust her to be faithful to me (otherwise she wouldn't be my girlfriend). Plus I love to drink on the weekends, and the subject of alcohol intrigues me (learning about different drinks, etc.).

But would a bartender date me? Probably not.

I would. Chicks bartending seems like it would be a huge turn on.

well yeah it just depends how you are.

if your pretty(and by your picture i can tell you are) guys would

and if you are trustworthy(cause i bet a lot of guys hit on you

you just have a job as a bartender that doesn't change anything its just a job
