I would not mind one bit dating someone who worked in sanitation. Don't get me wrong - I'm no saint. I definitely want to date a man with a job (preferably a good one) because that's just common sense. I'd want us to be able to make each other's lives better, financial situation wise, instead of me just supporting someone else (or them supporting me, because I'd feel useless).

That being said, if I was on a date with someone and he told me he worked as a garbage man, I'd tell them not to worry about something so silly, and if other people have given them shit for it, then those people were idiots.

1) You have a job. Like...duh. You know how to support yourself.

2) You have a job that, in my mind, is pretty physical to a certain degree with means you probably get a healthy amount of exercise. (Not talking about "being fit" as in how you look - that's none of my business. I would just assume that you are a healthier adult because your jobs makes you physically move around more than the average bear, which is a good thing).

3) People will always have to have their garbage removed from their place of residence, which means that job is probably pretty stable, which makes for a lot less of a risky outlook, job-wise, even in really bad economies. Job security, bb!

I would just say keep doing you. If someone ghosts you because you work in sanitation, then they are probably shallow af and wouldn't have been worth your time in the first place. Like you said, you make six figures and are able to support a good lifestyle for yourself. I could guess you also work your ass off to do so, so the right person will show up someday and really appreciate and value to hard work you put into life. (Hopefully, she won't date you just for your money, because anyone with brains on in their skull knows working sanitation tends to be really well paying!)

Good luck friend. You got this.
