For me it's all about the hi vis jacket. And, the farmer's tan marks at the neck, and on the strong, strong, strong arms. *day dreams happily*

Its the arms.. i told him from the beginning its all about the arms.. not big over muscley arms, just nicely defined strong arms.. ive gone into a little daze thinking about his arms now

My bf is a full time farm manager and looks after the farm at home too. Its not all its cracked up to be, im lucky if I see him twice a week and then the earliest he can meet me is 9pm! Meeting up for a full day doesnt happen. It can be frustrating coz were together now 6 months and its getting to that half serious stage but on the other side he loves his work and is the happiest man I know so its great to not have to listen to him give out about work. I think as long as the guy is happy with what he's doing his job title is irrelevant

Answer to the OP's question: whatever makes him happy.

Apologies for the rant, but I like 'em untarnished by money. I dont really care what line of work, but having a vision and loving a challenge is a turn-on for me.

Well as a broke guy who someday hopes to change the way people think via the words i write or the photographs that i take this is always nice to read!

Non-materialistic people ftw!!!

We have architects in my college, they tend to hole up with themselves and send lone short straw pickers on gorrila style sustenance attainment missons.
I can't say I would describe any of them creatures as masculine.

My husband is a qualified architect 4yrs now & I think he's masculine & hunky...maybe they mature like a fine wine? (or stinky cheese)

I'm happy if he's happy, as long as that means he has a job or at least a career plan!

Sounds interesting Dragan.

Watching someone else being really into something and nuturing their dream is exciting. Being enthusiastic for them, and being there when the chips are down and when they make their big break.

You can trust them more imo, than if you just met them when the show was over.

Just my take on things.

Ideally, I would want my partner to do whatever job makes him happy. A happy OH is most important. But I find college professors and architects sexy. I love men in suits.

Now my brother is a firefighter, which a lot of women seem to find really attractive. The schedule is crazy (24 hour shifts!), but his women don't seem to mind.

Exact same as me... Although I don't always find men in suits attractive.

Just because firefighters are depicted as really buff in TV programmes, doesn't mean they are in reality - especially in Ireland.

Yeah, my brother's firefighter friends aren't all strapping and manly. I will say that they do get a lot of downtime during the 24 hour shift, and my bro chooses to use that downtime to work out, so he is quite buff. He's a good looking guy, so I can see where women who like the firefighter thing would be attracted to him. But not all firefighters fit that mold.

College lecturer - I'd find that pretty hot. But not the students lusting after him...

Trust me it ain't that good!

Evenings spent with him sorting out his lectures or the next day instead of spending quality time with me!! Don't forget the correcting!!!! The endless correcting..... the bane of every lecturers life.

As for the students they are usually too intent in getting into one anothers pants to worry about the lecturers!

I doubt the most productive of my lecturers teachs for more than 6 hours a week.
And their minions....I mean postgrads correct for them.

I also don't get the attraction to the catagory as a whole, they are essentially decrepit, egomanic nerds.

Teaching is the smallest component of the job in universities. Most lectureres will have less than 130 contact hours (lectures, labs, tutorials and the like) every year. Most of the time is divided between research, preparing publications, admin and supervising postgraduate students. People tend to think it's a lazy option "those who can't do....teach" but to get places in academia you have to be quite smart and hard working. That said, academics don't do it for me.

My ex was a hairdresser.... womanising di*k! Stay well away....

In my experience:

Plumbers
Hairdressers
Ski Intructors
Security Men
............................................


......... All suck!


Ideal job in my opinion probably would be teaching or lecturing or even something creative like a career in music or art...
