Professions you would never date after working with them

[Ettubrutus]

I’ll start - surgeons.

One of them told me his wife was a GP -“because only one of us (him) could have a proper career”

Also - the overriding narrative that every female who complained about their outcome or consultation had “mental health issues”. They just couldn’t conceive that anyone would complain about them.

Surgeons are no good.

Long shifts, not knowing when they’ll be home, expect the other parent to take the brunt in child rearing and house keeping.

They may or may not shag other colleagues. There is always someone in line for that to better their lives but in reality they are too tired to even fuck with their wives.

They think they are superior and irresistible and that the mundane stuff is for the partner to deal with.

Run for the hills, life is not glamorous and you’ll only be seen as a servant and someone convenient to have dinner ready for them.

Why MH nurses?

For me it's chefs. Never met a decent one.

Police.

Because:

1. They are mostly married to the job which then comes 1st before anything.

1. Their regulations require them to be available all the damm time. Weekends. Public Holidays. Etc etc.

The thread's not about wrong'un ex-P, but people you've worked with. It's in the OP.

It is not the case that ACAB.

Enough are that I'm not prepared to take the risk of going for a date with the next David Carrick.

Explain how I do an effective individual risk assessment without taking profession into account, taking into consideration that I am autistic and have a near-absent ability to spot body language that other women would read as suspicious or shifty.

Car insurance companies assess risk based on, amongst other factors, occupation. If it's fair for them to do that, it's fair for me to. More fair, in fact, because, unlike car insurance, my body is not a service for sale.

Autistic women are three times more likely to be subject to sexual assault than neurotypical women. That's nine in ten of us, and guess what? #metoo.

The words I want to use to express my fury at people who are judging me for filtering out people who are statistically a greater risk than me would earn me a deletion if I used them.

The football fan comment isn't the gotcha you think it is either. I already don't date footie fans, for the reasons you mentioned.

😂Don't believe everything a builder tells you, builders hate Scaffs. Honestly most of them are decent but their language leaves a lot to be desired at times. Scaffs are the only trade that will put their hands in their pockets if one of the guys misses a weeks wage, they will have a whip round so the guys family doesn't go short, you won't find brickies doing that.
Mine is really lovely, left school with O levels in English, French, Maths ,Chemistry, History, Geography, metalwork and woodwork all Bs, then went to technical college and qualified as a Auto electrical tech before re training to be a scaffolder, ran his own business and retired at 50 because he could, so not too bad. Honestly there are some really good ones. 😀

Haha brilliant 🤣

I'd rather claw my own eyes out than so much as talk to one

DJ’s , doormen or any nightclub workers ….for reasons you can probably guess.

I do believe you - I know it was a post of complete stereotypes and there’s decent people and awful people in every single profession. They were all nice guys but they were announcing their entire weekend antics to the road 🤣 with some pretty interesting language. But im sure like every profession, some very hardworking and decent ones.

If "weekend's antics" meant how many pints he drank and how he seven-balled his mate at pool, that's one thing. If it's a blow-by-blow account of shagging the lass he pulled, that's quite another.

I don't agree with uneducated.
Many as I did have a degree and most jow study for a professional degree whilst in their probation.

Most do, it's rife

We live them for what they do for us, doesn't mean we want to date them

Is it that the job takes it's toll and people become difficult to get along with?

I guess just for the reasons people are giving.
I'd personally date a medical professional but I've never dated one!.
My eldest child is to a PC and been one so not again lol

Most people on here seem to be taking this thread as a bit of fun but some do genuinely seem to be saying that they would rule someone out because of stereotypes.
I wonder if that’s partly to do with how people meet nowadays - in the past you were much more likely to meet the person first and then discover their profession. So, it would be a bit weird to suddenly ditch them at that point if you’d been getting along. If you’re talking about online dating then I suppose the whole thing is based off stereotypes and first impressions before you even meet the person. I still think we need to challenge ourselves whenever we realise we have any type of bias though.

Was not intended as a gotcha comment. An observation.

Another vote for police- I've yet to encounter a man who worked for the police who wasn't on a huge power trip.

Also, I can understand the MH nurse thing. I used to work in that area and many MH nurses were quite psychologically disturbed themselves. Also, loads of affairs- the things I saw on nights out made me never want to date anyone in the profession

My point is the fleeting superficial insincerity not the eligibility of all nhs staff. threads like conversations develop and this literally has multiple examples of the ex was a wrong un he was a cop,builder,doctor etc.

This is just a weirdly unpleasant post. Even if you were married to one you perceived as wrong it could be for any number of individual reasons and it doesn’t extrapolate to the rest.

Brain surgeons. Really think they know it all...but it's hardly rocket science.

I don't think most people could do it!
