Anti-relationship professions?

Pighead

Pighead was browsing through the farming forum as he always does at this time on a Thursday afternoon when a thread caught his eye and stopped him in his tracks.

A girl had just started dating a farmer and she was asking the forum for advice/ warnings about her new special bogger friend.

She was obviously a bit wary about how his profession could affect their relationships and it got Pighead thinking 'Hmmm, Pighead is there any profession out there that you would not like a would be girlfriend to be in?'

Thought about it for several minutes and eventually came up with politician. Politicians are generally hated by at least half the populace and it would be tough for Pighead to listen to the dissenters in the pub spewing bile about the woman he loves.

Being a man of honour, Pighead would be forced to challenge the bile spewers to a duel and although the duel would undoubtedly be won by yours truly this poster doesn't really want to spend his remaining fifty years on this planet punching people in the face.

So are there any professions which you would immediately cross off your list when hunting for future partners?

summerskin

porn star

AnarchistKen

Teachers, for the pure reason I think I'd flip out if my other half had three whole months off and I had to go to work.

Baby seal culler, clergyperson, professional bodybuilder, Special Forces solider/bomb disposal expert. Anything likely to leave me bereaved or ashamed.

antodeco

Invisible man impersonator

castletownman

A cast member of Geordie Shore or any other such reality tv tripe.

Couldn't live with the fame shame

Corkbah

civil servant ...oh the shame of people judging your partner based on his/her job ...regardless of it they are one of the few that actually do the work.

Anyone self employed !! - it would be like a battle between you and their job !! ,....and their job would come first on some occasions.

Wacker The Attacker

prostitution

jam_mac_jam

Army or police, fishmonger also.. ew

Good one. Do you have a limit on the crapness of the programme? For instance if you were in a nightclub in 1989 and you met Fidelma from Glenroe would you instantly strike her off your 'To Do' list?

Well as I would have been a wee nipper in 1989, I didn't have the mental maturity to strike anyone off my 'To Do' list

It makes me swear at her every morning during the summer months as I get up for work :pac:

Shocking attitude in fairness. As a loving partner you should embrace anything that makes your fluffy bunny a happier person. You don't deserve to fall in love with a teacher. Sorry for being so harsh but your post made Pighead's blood boil.

Prostitute as pimpin ain't easy


oh and nuns

TeddyTedson

I know a female safety officer. She gets fierce attention on building sites I'd imagine. If you were the jealous type you'd find it hard for the love of your life being surrounded by horny tradesmen all day.

Some men might like that. All depends on the trust levels. If you trust that she would never stray then a lot of men would be ok with the idea that loads of other men were drooling over one of their possessions.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Anything that invoves travel. Pain the ass getting into a routine and then having to feck off somehwere for a week or so again.

Oh, and anything in the entertainment industry if gossip columns are anything to go by.

Oh Pighead a woman is not our possesision we just need to treasure every moment that the woman see's fit to give us

Not a particular job but something that would make a relationship difficult to get off the ground would be being on different rotas - ie one on weekdays 9-5 and the other working evenings and weekends or nights.

Not having time off together would put a strain on any relationship.

FloatingVoter

Once she's loaded, open-minded about my fidelity and lets me loose on our bank a/c I don't give a toss what she gets up to from one end of the week to the next.
A modern man I am.

shane9689

all except chief... nothing like a good sandwich

joeguevara

Traffic warden or clamper. Could never date one, even if the uniform did look good on her.

Kylo Ren

North Korean dictator.

ScumLord

Beggars can't be choosers, that's why I always make beggars my preference.

lahalane

Psychiatrist. I'm very paranoid.

You should steer clear of professional pedants as well. They'd follow you around boards and make your life hell.

The huge todger in his underpants says different. No idea where you are getting your erroneous info. That rumour stops here and now. Pighead expects an apology by 3pm.

And how does that make you feel

Sorry Mr. Pighead, I read "a girl" as "Pighead" in your OP.


Forgive me.

Lollipops23

Nothing springs to mind, but I'd hate to be with a workaholic. My last OH was one and the fact that he measured his worth by his (not exactly pressurised) job was highly unattractive. Him being late/too busy to go anywhere due to work got old very fast.

AnonoBoy

Hard-boiled detective.

They're married to their jobs if my research in cliched hollywood story telling is to be believed.

Forgive me.

Apology accepted. As well as being well endowed and extremely masculine, Pighead is also a forgiving soul who is willing to give his fellow beings a second chance. Lets move on from this fiasco and never mention it again.

Pilotdude5

Relationship counsellor. Imagine your every move and comment being scrutinised even more than normal.

Oryx

Any job where you work with, or for your partner.

Seaneh just pmed me saying Pighead has fake boobs.

I didn't even know you had boobs.

beertons

A masseuse. I don't mind the rub downs on me, with every other horny lad looking for the special rub, that would be a deal breaker for me.

Tabnabs

Taxidermist. Keep your hands AWAY from me woman!

padd b1975

International truck driver.

Out of interest why wouldn't you work for your partner?

Grayson

Have to agree with the OP. Most politicians are horrid people who spend so much time backstabbing and sucking up. Generally to the same person.

Thread title= Which profession would put you off entering a relationship with person in said profession?
You replied 'Working with or for my partner'.
Pighead asks why you wouldn't work for your partner.
You say you do work for your partner.

Brain spinning here Oryx. Help Pighead out.

Wow, didnt think that was possible.

Any profession which means you spend all day working with the person you also date/live with.

Pighead asks why you wouldn't work for your partner.

You spend all day working with the person you date/live with. Home life and work life merge... you bring your personal issues to work, and your work issues home.

You say you do work for your partner.

Mine is a cautionary tale.

I think professional musician. As much as I find a musical girl very attractive I don't think I could handle them being off travelling and gigging while I sit at my desk IT'ing away all day.
