Anti-relationship professions?

carolmarx

I actually am very picky and have a list as long as my arm;

Guard, anyone in the army, traffic warden, primary school teacher, doctor, dentist, estate agent, accountant, works for FG/FF or any political party for that matter, drug dealer, nightclub owner... It goes on but those are the top few I wouldn't go near!

What's left? how about a farmer?

Psychiatrist. I'm very paranoid.

I was going to say psychologist to avoid having a girlfriend diagnose all my mental problems.

Also, down in the pub when your friends are impressed with your brainy psychiatrist girlfriend and you have to explain that she's not a psychiatrist, only a psychologist.

I probably couldn't date a farmer to be honest, I love animals way too much to want to see what goes on in farms and there'd be an awful smell of ****e off them! Also, I live out the country and the farmers here are bastards for burning their land in defiance of the wildlife act and it drives me absolutely nuts! Could definitely go out with;engineer,scientist,pilot,vet,musician,social worker...Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.Like I said, I'm picky!

What an absolutely disgusting sentence.

Structure's all wrong. It should read 'Pighead is not a proper man'

A proctocologist wouldn't be the easiest one to explain to a potential lover. You'd always wonder if they had washed their hands after a long day at the office getting to the root of issues.

Ah proctology. The rare profession in which you start out at the
bottom and stay there.

You can have that one for free Sarge. Feel free to use it at dinner parties or nights out.

A guard/army person just wouldn't be my kind of person. I'm really into political activism etc and I just don't gel with such structured people who tend to have a very black and white view of things! Traffic wardens do a horrible job, I know an honest living is an honest living but I just couldn't! Doctors work long hours, dentists are boring and I associate them with bad memories :P estate agents are liars, accountants are boring, I hate party politics hence why I wouldn't date someone who worked for one, drug dealer speaks for itself (although I like an entrepreneur :P )..Nightclub owners, I imagine they;d work hard and long hours, but I just don't really like the business, anyone i've ever had dealings with has been a bit seedy (just an observation, obviously I don't know ALL the nightclub owners in Ireland nor will I ever). Like I said, I'm just really picky...But there's no accounting for taste!

The merchant navy (Deck and Engineering officers mostly) is a difficult profession to be in and hold a relationship. You're away too much, it could be 4 months on one month off, longer away in some instances.

Well you seem to have a black and white view of guards yourself.

I'm curious, what makes Pighead think he has fifty years remaining?


To answer your question, any "profession" that makes a lot less money than me and probably any profession that makes a lot more - jealousy is a powerful destructive force in this world and I'm fast becoming a realist.

If you can afford to be that picky you must be a stunner.....I've sent you a pm woman, you just have to turn up and I'll show you the time of my life.

It's possible. I support certain causes that are political, but I don't believe in aligning myself to a particular party! I wish I'd never written the post now people must think I hate everyone!

My other half is a farmer. My Sundays and holidays are spent shovelling silage and shiite, dosing cattle for worms and shifting them between fields. Spreading slurry in the coming months well be a good relationship tester :pac:

The contradictions in your post are all over the shop! Your suggestion of not wanting somebody with black and white thinking and yet stereotyping all types of people is laughable. You are either a hypocrite or somebody who believes more in conveying an image of themselves as liberal and open minded, while actually not being so liberal and open minded or you are just stooooopid.

Political Activist who just levels political parties and political policies without offering an alternative? Do you have a website, podcast, or some other alternative. You must have some form of lobby group or party to be an activist? Or are you just opinionated and not an activist at all?

Miss Lockhart

I can't think of any I would completely rule out. It really would depend on the individual. But in a general sense a garda or a politician would be a turn off.

I think a farmer would be near top of my list. Anybody with a really busy job who travels a lot would also be good.

In most situations though I would likely have made my mind up before I would ever know their job so it is really a non issue.

Capt'n Midnight

I'd probably avoid someone who couldn't afford to keep me in a manner to which I'm sure I could become accustomed to.

To be honest I just didn't feel the need in giving a rationalisation for everything I said, as you know..I was trying to keep it on topic! Obviously of the professions I mentioned I've only met a small sample group! When I meet every guard/drug dealer/accountant etc in the country (or would ya prefer the world?) I'll get back to you! And yes I am actually a member of a few lobby groups, but as I said, was trying to keep on topic as this isn't the place for my political ramblings.... :rolleyes:

Rejection and the denizens of internet discussion forums are a sensitive combination.

You drink Cosmopolitans? Gaaaaaay.

I wouldn't rule anyone based on their profession... It all depends on the person themselves not what they do for a living. As long as its not anything illegal etc.

Architects aren't captains. They're people who got carried away with their skill at colouring in. I'd hate to date a social worker. Too much sharing.
