What professions are a turn off?
Posted: 2/9/2009 4:50:16 PM
Some cops and some guys in the military, seem to have control freak issues. The domestic violence rate is pretty horrific in those two professions alone. I think sometimes, some men, bring the violence from their jobs home with them. (notice I said some, NOT all)

I know it's stereotyping to a certain degree, but I tend to be wary of guys who are cops or in the military (or were in the military). Yes, I know, there are good cops and good guys in the military. I realize that. But those are just professions that I tend to run away from when it comes to dating.

Engineers tend to have no personalities. NOT saying all are like that, just in general.

If you want to turn people off quickly in a profession...tell them you work in the mental health field. First time you say therapist...they automatically think you are analyzing them. That's not always true. I'm sure a mechanic don't listen to every car that goes by and a gynocologist don't look at every woman that walks by and think "wonder if she's had her exam"....therefore therapists don't automatically analyze everyone that speaks to them. But the profession is a turn off for many.

I say "debt collectors" - - - Most are bottom feeding, law-breaking, compulsive liars with no conscience or spinal chord, who will eat their young for a buck or two, perhaps even for a box of cigarettes or a 40 ounce.

What's the biggest professional turn-off? I did retail for a number of years. That was the most difficult position although I did it well. I am transitioning from that to the medical field. What got me to do a big about face was the customers. Some of them know that they can get away with murder and they intentionally look for trouble or just natural born pains in the ass. I always had it in the back of my mind that it wasn't about me so whatever to the people who I witnessed drinking juice without paying for it and throwing the empties to the side, to those whom I did witness telling their kids that it was okay to do the same. No matter what the profession, there is always going to be somebody there to look down at you and think they are too good to date you and ask why women even bother messaging men that are out of their 'reach'. To those people, I say to get a life because you don't even know that maybe one day you are going to be coming to me for a job!

I don't think debt collectors are what you say. True, they can be annoying but they are just doing their jobs. If you pay your bills, you won't have them calling you everyday.

I actually investigated that profession and it seems that it is lucrative only if you also own the place.

I'm a nurse and proud of it! At least I'm able to use my degree and not afraid of a lay-off in these economic times. The work I do is inellectually challenging. Don't know why being a nurse would be a turn off for dating....

For me...turn off professions:
--mortician
--lawyer

Mortician, anything that is illegal (hooker, drug dealer, etc.), and maybe a telemarketer. Telemarketers wouldn't bother me so much now since it may be the only work some people can find at the moment.

i wanted to say the same as someone in the earlier post, there are actually people with jobs on here?!? JK, sort of


I find lawyers to be annoying sometimes, but have dated one that ws great.

Doctors - never have enough time to spend with you, so i don't often go for them, unless they have their own private practice.

Otherwise, as long as close to the level am on, it's all good.

What the heck does everyone hasve against salespeople???? I am in advertising, and a very good salesperson, and I love my job. It fits my personality, as I am outgoing, love to socialize with the public, and my company does tons of community service that I get to be involved with! If you rule out salespeople, then you are ruling out everyone from Donald Trump to the stock broker to the girl who folds clothes at Walmart......all are salespeople. Get a clue people, salespeople are a vital and necessary part of society, and lose the stereotype that you obviously have in your heads that we are pushy or evil or something!

as long as they aren't criminals, i give everyone the benefit of the doubt no matter what their job, educational background, financial status...there are a lot of unsung heroes out there who have amazing gifts but don't often get the attention and respect they deserve. you do what you can and must to live, it doesn't really matter as long as you are doing something that makes this world a better place in some way.

It's always seems like the fact that I'm an artist is a turn off. I have plenty of friends, but no one seems like they want to be anything more. It gets annoying....

A whore would be a total turn off...
I would have to say politician is a no no too.

Then again what's the difference?


1) With the hooker - she tells you up front you will get screwed. And you are okay with that.

2)A hooker saying "I am here to help you" isn't quite so scary

3)You can change hookers as often as you like. You are not stuck with a bad one for 4 years.

4)One is going to attempt to screw you out of all your money. The other is a set price negotiated up front.

5)I have yet to read a hooker asking for a 'bail-out' plan

6)One is going to jump into bed with just about anyone. Nawww..nevermind...no difference there, sorry.

7)A hooker will do you only for what you pay for.

8)A Politician will do you no matter how much you pay.
