I found the jobs that put you off thread interesting so thought I’d do the opposite-jobs that would help attract you to a partner (assuming they meet other criteria). Mine would be:
Vet
Nursery or primary school teacher
Architect (clever and arty but a sensible dependable job)
GP
Something in music/entertainment that meant I could go to occasional parties and meet celebrities but not be famous himself
TV/film writer or producer
Author
Scientist/academic in something interesting like medical or zoological/climate research
Anything that they are passionate about, pays a decent amount, allows wfh/flexibility, sociable hours

Others that sound interesting/sexy but realistically probably wouldn’t work:
Army officer/detective/ministry of defence/spy
Vicar (fleabag)
Surgeon, A&E doctor, air ambulance or army doctor
Famous actor/singer etc
Human rights lawyer

A marine biologist, or any conservation biologist
Landscape gardener
A blacksmith (strong, skilled and creative)
Me in my 20's would have said a pro skate/snowboarder/surfer and or drummer, but middle-aged me had her fingers burned a few times too many!

I do find myself attracted to competence in any role, especially as I get older!

Landscape gardener, architect, surgeon, human rights lawyer, mechanic, another vote for landscape gardener because our gardener is handsomely strimming the edges of our drive as we speak... 😂

I did some research on this a while back. The runaway - and slightly surprising - winner was 'dolphin trainer'. Tree surgeon was up there, too.

Not necessarily all dentists but my dentist is extremely attractive. I gag very easily so while he’s working in my mouth, he gives me constant reassurance that I’m doing well etc.

DP is a sports coach and he gets a lot of attention at work from older ladies.
