Which profession do you find most attractive?

pikachucheeks

Fireman, because I like the outfit! But in reality, they work shifts and long hours, so that wouldn't be too appealing, relationship-wise.

I'll go with a man working in business, because suits look sharp and snazzy!

Wouldn't mind a guy working in I.T either, as long as he wasn't too nerdy or too like Moss from The IT Crowd!

Now this, I would take issue with. "Dead end job" is a relative term to each individuals aspirations. I know people that worked at what some people would call 'dead end jobs' for 40+ years and never looked back because it afforded them and their families comfort, stability and the ability to live happy, interesting lives. Not everyone reaches for the stars in their careers. Some would rather their professional lives remain grounded so their personal lives can soar. The two are not mutually exclusive.

If thats the best they can do then fine.
I'm studying and working hard all my life and i'm ambitious to do as well as I possibly can then i'd want the same from the person I was with. Nothing more unattractive than someone with no ambition. If he's happy just sweeping the floor in McDonalds all his life then he aint for me.

McDonalds isn't a dead end job by any means TBH. They recruit their managers from within the company! *(Alot of the time, not all the time)

You clearly missed the point that I was making. Ambition isn't exclusive to a career. People have ambitions in many differing areas of their lives.

Very much agree with this. My job is a means to an end.

+1 on this for alot of people no matter how successful the person is

There's a fighter call Fedor Emilienko in mma. The man is without a doubt the greatest fighter ever in mma, multi multi millionaire because of it, yet whenever questioned he always says he doesn't love it, to him it's just a job and would quit tomorrow if his wife or child asked him too.

That's because he's a farmer really

Anyway, if we want to disparage what other people find attractive and debate their reasons, perhaps another thread is required, but this one is heading off topic. The ladies are responding to what they find attractive in a man, not everyone's going to like the same thing.

A tall dark and handsome pilot... There is soemthing about the mile high club that really appeals.

An army man in khaki's and or dress uniform.... Delic....

I have to say I never cared - and still don't - as long as they feel happy and fulfilled in their work. And earn enough to get by ^^

I wouldn't base my attraction to someone on their job, but there are some professions that say i already liked someone, would make me like them more.
Was thinking the other day it'd be nice to be married to a restaraunteur...but that is perhaps more my stomach talking than my heart!!
other sexy professions would be writer or farmer!

i used to think i'd like an artist or someone creative so i could relate to them. I don't think so anymore but whatever it is it has to be something they love and they have to work really hard at it, I hate people with no drive. It doesn't matter what their drive is but they gotta have it. Its hot when a guy loves what he does.

Hehe, so true! Something like a 9:1 male:female ratio in my 4th year class last year :pac:

I personally don't have a preference for what profession a partner of mine has, as long as they are happy with what they are doing.

I guess, as a woman, I'd have to say it doesn't turn me off. If that's his passion, then who am I to say he shouldn't? It's not dangerous, it hurts nobody... I can't see anything wrong with it!

I think someone doing something they're passionate about is far more attractive than what that job actually is in and of itself.

I am passionate about the end result in the role I currently have. I don't want to go into the details, but I have a job many look down on. People might consider my role dead-end (I've lamented it as such myself). I don't consider it to be my career, it's a job because I don't currently have another. That does not mean I won't do it with as much attention and focus as I would do something I'd love to do. Why should the people I deal with suffer from my lack of drive for my current role simply because it's not what I want to do? It really is a means to an end for me. That's why I envy and appreciate someone doing something they love - not necessarily something people think they should love, but something they actually do love.

One of the saddest posts I've read in this thread so far was Monkeyfudge's - he has a job other people feel he should have a huge passion for. That doesn't mean it pushes his buttons. I know that frustration, I'd hate someone I find attractive (physically or mentally) to be in that position too.

God, I do go on!

I didnt say McDonalds was a dead end job, i said if he's happy sweeping floors in McDonalds for the rest of his life, thats a lack of ambition.

His ambition to be the best fighter made him millions.

I would probably have said a musician before, but now that I'm going out with one, I realise that they spend an awful lot of time rehearsing and all that nonsense! :P Between gigs, rehearsals and spending a ridiculous amount of money on gear, there's not that much time or money left over to dedicate to the relationship. I still love him of course, but wish he had a bit more time for me.

So, I think something that was 9-5 and paid well would suit me . Doctors, lawyers, all those careers just require to much time spent at their jobs.

I don't hunt out guys with certain professions/jobs (or in my case, as a student, the course they're studying), and all the stuff about you would not be bothered about what a man does as a job may be true if you're looking for something long term, but if you're not there's always a little kick if he does something you find attractive.....going to be totally honest here and admit, there was a guy I went out with for a few months, simply because he was a RAF pilot (well training to be one:)). I knew it had no hope of being a long term thing, but there was something about saying I was going out with an RAF pilot that was very, very attractive.....

Reminds me of something one of the lads in my Muay Thai gym said to me once.....

<cork accent>

Oh yeah boy! They love it when you tell them that you're a figher. LOVE IT. Then they realise that you have to train all the time and it turns into "you never spend any time with me"

</cork accent>

My wife's a saint for putting up with all the time I spend training.

That's pretty much exactly it! I've come to terms with being second best to his music after getting some wise words from others on boards, but I still nag him about not spending any time with me.

Don't care as long as he wears a suit to work, I have a huge weakness for a guy who looks good in a work suit
In London, I like the banker types that work in the City....yum! me and the girls go suit spotting every couple of weeks on a friday up there

Stella777

as a sort of fantasy, someone who works for Doctors Without Borders. Not really practical, though, as I'd never see him.

From a completely selfish standpoint, a master chef or maybe a hairdresser. Imagine! Never a bad hair day.

But in real life, I have tended to date scientists, engineers etc.

I know a couple of girls who are mad into....priestly vestements. Seriously.

I was surprised to hear about it until they explained it; something to do with he's unattainable as they don't want to make him breaks the vows (you want what you can't have), will always listen to them, won't treat them badly, always respectful and well turned out, not self centred etc.

There's an American seminary near me here and some of my female friends swoon when they see the young American lads in their roman collars or playing American football.

I mean you'd never have to cook, though you'd probably end up fat as hell! But a man who can cook is a rarity

Tim Minchin is a good combination of the first two, Slash a good example of the third. My best mate a combination of all three!

King tut hanst said anything I will :pac:

I was a chef... Awfull job... If you think a chefs going to cook for you after doing a 4 hour sevice you should really think again, Never once have I came home and cooked for anybody including myself.

But if i really wanted to pick one it would have to be an airhostess

As long as they're fulfilled, ambitious and happy it doesnt matter... I would of course like to see them, so a job that doesn't involve long hours or lots of travel would be great.

In terms of attractiveness I love a man that uses his talents, soul, creativity so I tend to go for artists, musicians etc. My OH has a degree in fine art and a picture he drew was one of the things that made me fall for him.
