BuzzFeed : What Straight Men's Careers Say About Them

Judgment day is here.

Journalist

"In theory they sound great because they're smart and seem to care about the world around them."

"I would feel guilty if I wasn't interested / up to date on what they were writing about."

"'Don't ever date a journalist' (says a journalist.)"

"They (also we) are always making a narrative out of every situation."

"Stop asking me questions. I am not a story."

"They also really buy into the coffee-swilling, notebook-toting gumshoe reporter thing."

"Yeah, the Bob Woodward syndrome."

"AND an unfinished novel on the side."

War Reporter

"OH MY GOD. The HOTTEST. Literally. Nothing hotter."

"I picture these beautiful sort of rough, manly hands?"

"Thick, soft hair except for that spot near his ear where he was grazed by a bullet."

"I imagine like a Robert Redford type in a khaki shirt."

"Like a mix between Robert Capa and Robert Redford in Out of Africa."

"They're romantic, and pragmatic."

"I'd always worry about them though, like 80% of the relationship would be stressful."

"And they're gone a lot."

"They will look down on your small life when they come back."

"'Honey, how was your day?' - imagine the two answers between you two."

Filmmaker

"If WE (common folk) are dating a filmmaker, they are an ASPIRING filmmaker."

"There should be a rule you can't call yourself a 'filmmaker' until you've actually made a film."

"They always want to talk about their screenplay."

"YOU CAN'T WATCH MOVIES WITH THEM. They will ruin every movie for you."

"They'll have that one shit movie that you hate that they think is the best thing ever."

"They just LOVE the French Nouvelle Vague."

"You'll have to pretend like you like their films. It will weigh a heavy toll on the relationship."

Musician

"It should be more of a hobby, right? Not a job. Time to let go."

"If you pay your rent with your music, then you are a musician. If not, you can play the guitar well."

"They're fun to bone but the ego is too much."

"The ego is either a fragile baby bird or the great wall of China. Nothing in between."

"And if you don't like their music, </3."

"You won't like their music."

"If you like their music, you're fucked."
