Dealing with Negative Stereotypes associated with being a professional poker player

[Zybomb]

Ok you're both missing the point of my example here.

In the example I gave (meet a girl then her parents and inevitably what u do comes up) theres going to be a lot of uneasy moments with a girls father who hears the guy his daughter is seeing has no steady income and appears to be a degenerate loser (father kows nothing about poker lets say). ... so it's not a "who cares what ppl think do you" thing, it's just whats a good way of dealing/explaining out with the situation to make it smooth/better

this isn't an actual situation for me here, but i think its a very good example of what i was tryin to ask.
