What careers do you find attractive/unattractive for a partner to work in?

Question

Of course most would just be happy if their partner had a job in general. But lets be creative and name some careers you find attractive. FOR MYSELF, I find it attractive if the guy works as a construction worker, carpenter, baseballer, graphic designer, architectural drafter, teacher of kids, editor, coach, chef, poet, or therapist. But at the same time, i worry because things like construction is dangerous and coaching/baseball means he’d travel a lot. I talked to a welder recently and although it sounded dangerous, he made it sound quite interesting. Yet i also talked to an up/coming actor and that was just like the biggest turnoff to me. I don't know i just dont want to date an actor, doctor, lawyer, masseuse, professor, salesperson, or singer.

This isn't about the money. Its just about preferences. We all have them. Im just seeing if people wanted to date someone in similar fields to themselves or not. Lets not make a simple question harder than it has to be

I take it politician might be a bit of a grey area for you? It's sort of all inclusive seeing as working at the county council revolves around management of all these things, architecture, sports, designs, city layouts, school etc. Just this day I summarized a missive to the county board regarding state- and local services suggesting on a course of action. Does that do anything for ya? ;P

I'm not trying to rain on your parade as well but I'm not certain you can *work* as a poet. I write amateur poetry and I can publish it, but make a living out of it? Doubtful.

But as for me; I like women who work with visions. Women who pursue work in organisations or even their own companies connected to feminine avenues like fashion or children's issues etc. I know one woman who does a lot of work ideally for "Help the Children" (Swedish organisation) and who often does mission trips to Africa and plays, dances and preaches to children, that just strikes a chord with my love for motherly women.

I'm a poet and an actor, so I guess you'd love and hate me. 😂 I'm attracted to fellow poets and actors, as well as artists, dancers, musicians, scientists, soldiers, athletes. I really like anyone that isn't a corpo. I hate corps.

The person will always be more attractive than their careers. But if I had to choose I'll say for attractive: being a nurse, Doctor, police, paramedic, businessman, and chef. For unattractive: male stripper 🤢, garbage man, p**nstar, etc in those fields. * hint- for the people that might give me a 👎. I'm not in it for the money and I'm going to be a nurse soon 🙏🏾 so it would be cool to find a partner in that field too.

Attractive as in “I want him” - labourers, some police officers? Lol, personal trainers etc, race drivers, mechanics
Attractive for dating would be anything that keeps his mind sharp just not a doctor! 😂 but like anything in IT, accountant, business owner maybe? If he’s actually doing something other that giving orders.
If I really like the guy he can make any career attractive tbh lol

Honestly Just the fact that she works and has a job is the turn on the me , but I guess there are some professions that she could have to make me feel proud for her for doing what she does , like a Nurse or a Doctor or a Vet a Business woman etc. So it really isn’t really the profession it’s her passion for her profession and how demanding her profession is that would make me
Respect her more, I know girls are different when it comes to this , considering most girls are attracted to a guys status , Girls are drawn to a guys status where guys aren’t really drawn to her status , Girls will be attracted to a guy that is a boss or a doctor or a lawyer , He doesn’t even have to be that good looking for her to be attracted to him , Girls just like to look up to a man that she feels has power over others , but what cracks me up is you take that same guy and put him in a janitor outfit she will lose all interest in him , Where guys don’t do that to girls , we are drawn to her beauty and her personality and don’t really give a shit what her status is

For starters, while I'm totally for women doing a man's job, construction, garbage and sewage are just not glamorous But a fun attractive job is a model or signer/musician

ShortCircuit · Answer

I really don't care, as long as she makes enough money to pay her half of the bills, works no more than 50 hrs/wk, the job is ethical, and it doesn't require her to be disloyal (like acting or sex work).

But I guess if I were to give a few examples of jobs that might make her more appealing to me than others, it would be a nurse, chef, writer, something in tech, or something in the game or film industry.

And some examples of jobs that would make her less appealing would be anything in the public sector (I always say "fuck the government", but I don't want to literally fuck the government lol), farming, meat processing, or anything blue collar.

Any other job I would most likely have a completely neutral attitude toward.

JDavid25 · Answer

Attractive: Housewife (even if it's not a career), administrative assistant, chef, yoga instructor 😏, human resources, Fitness guru, IT computer specialist, politician (even though most are scummy, there's a lot of assertive Attractive women in the field.), and Lawyers
Actresses and singers are okay, they can be attractive but they tend to be divas which I don't like.
Porn stars, store clerks, strippers, call girls, construction worker, nurses, competitive body builders (even if some of then look nice.) and bus drivers are careers that are less attractive to me..

Jake1415 · Answer

Why wouldn't you date a guy in any of the careers you mentioned you didn't want to? Also, would you wanna date an electrician? Finally, I don't have an exact career that would be attractive but I wouldn't want someone who works in sports teams because I'm not into sports and if that person is into sports that they would probably talk about sports all the time or most of the time... Maybe someone who at least shares the same interest or knows how to do something I'm interested in. For example: I'm interest a kills in computers so while they wouldn't need to have a career in computers to be attractive, if someone knew their stuff about them and had a degree for it... Then I would be kinda cool. Plus, if they have a degree in general, that that would be attractive to me because that means they took the time to earn it...

Gedaria · Answer

I like your thinking. I look at it if she is happy doing what she does.
I found a lot of girls enjoy doing thy manual occupations.
I had a girlfriend who worked in a bank
After a typical 8hr day she was so stressed and close to tears.
But she worked with me in the workshop , she just couldn't get enough of it. Her best bit was working on the forge.
After 6 months she had packed in her job and was working with me full time. We were together for about 18 months by the end that she had set up and got her own black Smith's shop, doing ornamental stuff.
She looked so sexy in her overalls.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

I don’t think any “specific“ career is attractive or unattractive. I think if somebody has a job and they’re working hard, how on earth could that be unattractive? In fact I think the only career that I would consider unattractive would be career unemployment!

jgokgotit · Answer

The most attractive careers women can have in my opinion are teachers, personal trainers, yoga instructors, first responder, military, medical/nursing and massage therapists. The careers I find unattractive are politicians and anything to do with feminism or liberal agendas.

Levin · Answer

Same standards I apply to myself.

I have no preference as long as she does no evil.

Evil jobs include those overriding one's conscience in order to comply, follow orders, to do harm to others.

Therefore, police officers and those in the army, plus increasingly medical professionals. Plus the soulless corporate lot.

Every real mans dream is to be the soul provider and the women being ambitious in her dreams what ever it may be. For her to have no pressure to contribute financially to the household but have a great drive towards her own goals rather as a stay at home or a profession she’s passionate about. In today’s economy it’s very difficult to get to this point though 😂 but i personality think anything that she’s passionate about is sexy.

Ninjazzed · Answer

lucas262 · Answer

Iv always planned to be the provider in the house, never spent too much time on what she'd do, think it'd be hot if she was a nurse, or teacher, I think her passion for her job would be attractive if it involves helping people, social worker thay kind of thing it displays a female type of compassion as in taking care of people, women find a man's ability to make money or provide or his ability to fix shit attractive. No per se the job itself but I could be wrong

iFarted · Answer

Attractive
Anything medical
Small business owner
White collar work like accountants and architects

Unattractive
Anything sex related (She'd still be physically attractive but overall less attractive to me in this field)
Certain construction jobs (More brainless jobs like general laborer, drywaller, plastering, etc.. If she did electrical work or finish carpentry it's sort of hot.)

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I find male therapists to be super attractive as well as medical research scientists and engineers and STEM professors but realistically, even a grocery bagger could attract me if I like his personality

slatyb · Answer

Why should welding be dangerous? Does he work on high steel? Underwater?

The only careers I would find unattractive would be anything unethical like selling low value products for high prices, like timeshare condominiums or some MLM.

Hans222 · Answer

I always wanted to be a commercial pilot. Due to color blindness that was not possible. I ended up doing economic studies, specializing in marketing. In the end I ended up in finance haha... but I'm happy with my career.

Alyssa11 · Answer

I’m gonna be honest and say I have a doctor fetish. There’s something so attractive about doctors — they’re literally saving lives and it takes a very strong willed and determined person.

WesBrewer · Answer

Most attractive: anything Business and higher up job-like. Attractive: any job. Unattractive: any job related to nudity, sex, or/and selling of the body.
