I’m just curious! I know in the end it really depends on the person, but I was wondering…

I’m in uni studying to become a teacher and my boyfriend is a law student. If I was dating I think I’d probably (unintentionally) lean towards men with strong careers, just because I’m really drawn to educated guys.

What kind of careers do you personally prefer in a partner? I feel like every profession has its pros and cons.

What do you think about:

• Teachers

• Nurses

• ⁠lawyers

• ⁠doctors

• Influencers

• Engineers

• Blue collar workers (not sure if that’s the right word, I’m not American, but like people who work with their hands haha)

• ⁠….

  1. I’m a nurse. However, it’s a notion that infidelity in nurses is highest as compared to other professions. I’m finding it difficult to find a partner myself because as soon as ladies hear that I’m a nurse, they don’t try to engage further with me.

  2. I don’t care about anyone’s job but my own. In fact on dates I don’t even ask people their jobs and don’t talk about mine. I care way more about so many other things

  4. There are more careers that i don’t like to date than ones that i find attractive.

    I would avoid influencer, military, nurse, and everything related to prostitution.

    For the resr, as long as she’s smart enough and makes enough money to support herself, i’m ok.

  6. This might get some hatred- but I prefer my man working in a somewhat related profession to mine. I say this because I want to relate to them when there are any work-related rants they have or I have. We can also support each others career and be a helping hand in case we want to advance in the field. We can also understand the work shifts and not have arguments over why the other person is working long, or where they are and what they are doing. This just eliminates arguments around work related commitments. I like to spend a lot of time with my partner and hence them working night shift and me the day shift is not for me.

    I also believe financial problems play a huge role in the long-term. My minimum bar profession wise is the profession I have. I also prefer to be submissive and would like to be helping hand for my partner than end up being the sugar mama. Theres nothing wrong with it, but when I tried it I started playing the dominant role in the dynamic and found that its not for me.

    A hard dealbreaker profession wise for me though is working in the heavily focused influencer job, and everything related to the adult video industry. I think I would also think 10 times before dating someone in the modeling/acting industry.

  7. To me as long as they have a full time job it wouldn’t bother me… unless they are a cop. They will definitely be a no for me lol

  9. I don’t care what job/career someone has, as long as they make enough to support themselves.

  10. Doctors. I enjoy doctors.

    I’m a luxury jewelry operations professional. I work with prestigious watch/jewelry brands and diamonds.

    Edit: I like pilots too because helicopter rides are fun asf.

  11. I really don’t have a preference what my partner’s career is. It’s easier to date and build a relationship if they are happy in their job and career choice. I have dated all but influencers on your list. For some reason all of my LTR have been with engineers. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  12. I’m a designer by career so I’ve always attracted numbers guys that usually in finance or engineers. I like that it balances me out since I’m more of a creative so I also seek out more logical type guys.

  13. Actor (I love theatre arts…)
    Translator
    Game Streamer (As long as responsible and not an incel…)
    Programmer/Coder
    Veterinarian
    Artist
    Data Scientist
    Hacker (The ethical one…)

  14. Any of those are fine.

    I’m also particularly drawn to men who work in nonprofits and do a lot of good for the world.

  15. I like men working in IT, I have a thing for nerds 🤭 Or architects and engineers I find nice. I also like blue collar workers, so real handy men 🥰 But tbh a man’s career and money are far from important when he’s sweet and kind and loves me deeply 🥹

  16. To me, it does not matter BUT i do tend to have a type for men in uniform ~~ESPECIALLY those in the psych field but shhh~~. I am no better than a man oh my god lol

  17. One that makes him/her feel happy and fulfilled and makes them want to get up in the morning and doesn’t just drain their energy

  18. I definitely want a partner with a great head on his shoulders. I want to be able to have deep intellectual conversations with him. There’s a few professions I refuse to date. I’d be fine dating anyone off that list. However, I want him to make at least as much money as I do.

  19. tbh i dont even care as long as they have a job… i would not date anyone whos studying psychology though or is in the psychology field, ive found theyre the most fucked up bunch when it comes to dating

  20. Most attractive to be would be something in the chemistry field, because I am looking for a job in that field. I would love to talk about chemistry and not having to explain everything

  22. I’ve found that women are really into cops/uniforms or they hate them. There is no in between
