Would you date someone regardless of their occupation?

Question

Whether he/she is a business executive, restauranteur, lawyer, doctor or even a farmer or a dockworker.

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

No.

I worked 💪 extremely hard to get where I am today. 2 university degrees by 21, specialist, headhunted for jobs, etc.

I want someone who will successfully contribute to my life and can hold an intelligent conversation. Who doesn't have to get drunk every day after work, heavy smoker, prone to complaining but no real drive to improve, etc.

So that essentially eliminates menial task, labor intensive, and/or low/no education jobs. Yes not everyone in these fields is a dullwit or drunkard but majority are and life is too short to wait for needle in a haystack.

I wouldn't care what salary the guy made, but if the lifestyle meant that he'd be away a lot then I wouldn't like that.

JustinTheGreat · Accepted Answer

I was going to say yes but now that I think about it, there are definitely certain careers that are deal breakers.

i would never date a cop, firefighter, or some other career where they’re risking their life every day. I’m not dealing with the stress of wondering if my partner is making it home or not… also fuck cops lol. ACAB 😋

I wouldn’t be comfortable dating sex workers. I have nothing against people in that line of work but they’re just not for me.

and I couldn’t do long distance so nothing where they’re traveling all the time

Young honeybee, @FecalDong sees no difference between flower and the job. Much like a delicate blossom, one can have many petals and still bloom beautifully. As the saying goes, "the anus is only as good as its last shit." So too, a person's occupation matters not in the grand scheme of things. All that matters is whether they are like the mighty oak, standing tall and strong through life's storms. For true love is like a well-placed karate chop to the heart; it knows no boundaries or limitations. Boom boom long time!

AviatorTom · Answer

I've dated women of all kinds of occupations, from nurses to restaurant servers to engineers to psychologists to real estate agents. A woman's occupation is just one part of he interesting personality.

Avicenna · Answer

There are some that would be an absolute dealbreaker, but not because of salary.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I've sated women who were unemployed, waitresses, secretaries, nurses, doctors, CPAs, lawyers, and everything in between.

Miristheiss · Answer

No.

I'd not do any long distance. Military, pilots, flight attendants.

No super busy, hectic career jobs like lawyers or on call surgeons.

No models or actresses who have to be nude for the world or kiss co-stars.

No travel. I wouldn't have been with someone who traveled for their jobs.

No sex workers of any type or anyone who has ever done sex work ever, even for 1 hour.

Potteplante · Answer

Of those you mentioned: sure.

However, there are some I would not date. I'd not date someone who travels a lot for living, I want my partner to actually be there not away from me. A sex worker - I'm strictly mono, that would not go well with that. And I'd not date someone who's in the public eye - that would bring attention to me and my life and that I would hate.

XingQi · Answer

I would say dating somebody for their occupation is not really something I would do. It revolves more around their personality, education history, attitude, moral standards, lifestyle, and goals.

For example, I would prefer a woman my age working a minimum wage job that holds strong goals, a self-sufficient lifestyle, and strong moral values, over a playgirl working as a bio-engineer with a 200k salary.

Anonymous · Answer

There are a few that would be dealbreakers for me. If he worked as a gas station clerk, for example, and had no drive to do better that would be a dealbreaker for me. Salary is important to me as well. So long as we’re making enough between each other to comfortably support each other and not be a stresser on one person we’re Gouda.

DizzyDesii · Answer

For the most part unless its something affecting morals/hygeine/health or causing them to travel constantly

DreamLife7 · Answer

No, I prefer white collar men. Although I do respect the blue collar profession and love a man that's good with his hands I feel they work a lot. If he's constantly working we will never have time together. unless he becomes an owner of a blue collar business that's different.

DannyUk2017 · Answer

I had been asked about my job, in many chats, and when i mentioned "construction", the next second was instant "block", so is better to mention just Un-Employed, at least that way i expect an instant Rejection! 🤦‍♂️

Lliam · Answer

There are some occupations that I would reject. Military, law enforcement, judicial system, politician, and maybe some others, such as jobs where she worked long hours or traveled a lot.

Jennz6 · Answer

Sure, if he doesn’t care about my profession

love_conquers_lust · Answer

Yeah, but I prefer educated. That may or may not cone with a degree. I find people without them tend to be insecure and up in their own heads about it.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

It makes no difference, on the career that a woman has, I would still date her.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I won't: Any person who worships income, status, or ''career'' (and such ) isn't in line with me.

EmmaMary · Answer

Of course I would, providing they were honest and hard working.

fantasticass · Answer

Absolutely... their occupation isn't important when dating

loveslongnails · Answer

It depends on her availability and schedule more than the occupation itself. There are some I can think of that are deal breakers right off the bat, like politically affiliated jobs with the wrong side.

DerekC321 · Answer

Of course, they can all be good people, no matter their occupation (unless they did bad things).

MikeInHawaii · Answer

I think a few would be no-go…. porn star, hooker, stripper…

TallAnon · Answer

Yes, unless it's an extreme.. Like hitman or drugs dealer. I also wouldn't be comfortable with a prostitute.

Staximus · Answer

Yeah, I don't care what she does for a living, as long as she's not a hooker or a bum

jahaims · Answer

Nah, I wouldn't date anyone who's job it is to share their body with others.

Jazzy54 · Answer

For me, no cops, no first responders, or someone in the military. Those careers are  extremely  dangerous and unpredictable.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Yeah, it means nothing to me. Job, no job, doesn't matter.

Masterodd · Answer

Yes, I would you date someone regardless of their occupation?

Anonymous · Answer

It depends. I don't relate well socially to people who have not been to college, so there is that.

Likes2drive · Answer

Yeah, it doesn’t matter to most guys, it usually only matters to women what a guy does

Anonymous · Answer

I tend to stay away from highly career driven women because their priorities and life goals are different than mine.

abbyjgriffin98 · Answer

As long as their occupation is honest.

Bricealan · Answer

Sure, why not.

exitseven · Answer
