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.

A friend from school almost married a consultant anaesthetist. He didnt like her working she was a uni lecturer in humanities. He thought she should be at home to make him brekkie evening meal etc.
Havent thse people heard of a microwave.

Anyone who kills or tests on animals is a big no no for me.

Ha ha like it.

You win pun of the day.

Pun of the day goes to you.

@ScierraDoll I am a lawyer, often advocating for women's rights and women who have suffered extreme violence. Would you still call me and my colleagues c$nts? Shame on you and you're narrow views

Wow so what occupation would you date.

You’re absolutely right, there are many decent police officers. I’ve been married to one for thirty years. He’s not your typical cop. But there are also many who can’t keep it in their trousers. Out of all the police couples we knew who were together when we got married there is only one other couple who are still married.

@CheekyPombear further to that the Plice officer who had a relationship with you, a dv victim at a vulnerable time in her life committed misconduct offences. So he wasn’t that great and you prove my point.

The irony of this statement is shocking.

You are backing up why people have such a low view of Police Officers.

But when choice exists, applying a stereotype is just a way of filtering your options. Similar to no kids, no one under 6ft etc.

Perfectly valid

Interestingly, the two most switched on couples I know are two married musicians and two married arty types- they say they have to be because the industries are so full of hot air and broken promises.

@CheekyPombear you realise a police officer was jailed for something similar in the wake of the murder of Sarah Everard?

Warehouse work/cleaner/retail assistant - probably don't earn enough money to help support a family and I'm not exactly earning a fortune so I couldn't afford to be with someone earning minimum wage. And - huge snob alert - I'm not sure I'd have much in common with most in these lines of work.

Quite a lot of people working in those types of roles are working there because they are either paying their way through studying for qualifications, or because the hours suit them. I'm a retail assistant with a first class honours degree who needs flexible working hours. You might have plenty in common with many of them.

My partner and I respective jobs been mentioned loads, we are pariahs on this thread. We Get to be dysfunctional megalomaniacs together. The sphere of our evil ambition is oppressively huge.

Christ. This is professional misconduct. You were a crime victim. He’s a sleazy opportunist.

I genuinely hope you reflect on the circumstances of your meeting
The power imbalance
Cop dating DV crime victim really inappropriate. Definitely misconduct

You just dropped it in there , all casual, like it’s a regular meeting

Haha, I don't know - I'm not good with relationships at all. But, hypothetically, I have no problem with some of the most commonly cited no no professions on this thread - doctors, NHS workers, lawyers, mental health nurses, social workers, bankers, academics, accountants, actors, musicians and musical theatre people all absolutely fine with me. I'd also happily date: dentist, vet, HR, 'general office work', charity workers, vicar/minister, biologist/physicist/chemist/geologist etc, artist/designer, conservation/forestry, engineer, author, librarian. Lots of things, I guess.

Shagging a witness, which is what a DV victim is, to a crime that a copper is involved investigating, is serious professional misconduct and compromises the neutrality of the investigation.

This is worse when the witness is deemed vulnerable, like DV and rape victims are.

You have added to the reasons not to date coppers, not subtracted from them.

Teacher.

I'm so glad my late husband wasn't a teacher. His job was higher status and better-paid but didn't have the constant evening and weekend work. The idea of competing for the table to do marking!!!

Like others on this thread, I wouldn't date a male IT worker and I work in IT. Too much correlation between "works with computers" and "spends excessive time video gaming".

I'm glad for the work that NHS staff do and at the same time I wouldn't want to date someone who worked nights, weekends, etc, which rules out a lot of NHS workers.

Are you me?

The oil riggs

I might be. If you really really fancy a Twix right now - I am.

"It looks like a lovely lifestyle"

What? In what world does it look like anything other than hard work?

Ewww yeah. Massive red flag. To DV victim. Vile behaviour. Seriously you need to severly question this situation and prob should report him. Dont you read the news. Be very careful.
