Wow, you are very attractive, sad that those questions have left your lips(or fingers in this case).
Thanks and thanks, huh?
I am trying to get to the bottom of why you think you only meet materialistic women and thought maybe it is the description of your job, not your actual income that women lose interest. That's why I was asking and I am not sure why you see that as an insult?
My humor, personality even my looks(or lack there of), but as long as I am not asking someone for money my job should not mater.
Jobs matter because people spend a good portion of their time doing their jobs. This doesn't necessarily define you, but is part of what makes you who you are.
The fact that you are defensive about it is going to raise red flags from women. It's not your job, per se. It is your attitude around it that has women freaking out.

I own 2 websites and make a living via the advertisements and the online store, I am only able to do this because I lowered my monthly expenses. But I enjoy it.
one is a streaming site with old public domain sci-fi movies and vid I shoot myself, plus I make fake commercials that play between the movies.

I've never, ever had a problem telling people what I do for a living and nobody I've ever met (who had a legitimate job situation, nothing shady) ever had a problem telling me what they do. Further, nobody has ever entirely defined me by my job and I've never entirely defined anyone else by his/her job.
Why wouldn't you want to at least partially be defined by your job? I'm a writer and editor. I love what I do. Writing is in my blood. I have no problem with anyone saying, "She's a writer." Nobody says, "She's a writer - that's ALL she is - I guess we either catch a Shakespeare festival or it's nothing." Even so, I never worried my job totally defined me back when I was just "working to work," so to speak. Before I landed my first-ever writing job (in 1999), I had no problem saying "I'm an office manager." Nobody ever said, "She's an office manager. I guess either we have a date creating spreadsheets and complaining about the burned coffee, or it's nothing."
My husband has been in the music industry since the 1990s. He has no problem with anyone saying, "He's in the music industry." Nobody says, "He's in the music industry. I guess we go to a concert, or we have no other options."
So I'm not seeing the problem here...unless what you're doing isn't entirely above-board.
I have a feeling something not quite on the level is going on here, if you don't want to be associated with your job (let's be real, nobody's job ENTIRELY defines him or her...and some people are literally just working for a living though they don't love what they do).

Great. You are an internet entrepreneur and video producer. Nothing wrong with that. You don't have to be defined by that.

Yesss! You're winning today!
"She is a Behavior Analyst, we either have a date acting like jackasses, or it's nothing."
Win/win for me, that's what I wanted to do anyway!
