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.

😂😂😂

Fireman....the one i dated had a hero complex but was a very dangerous individual especially around women.

I have not had much FUN with IT people.

“A Captain of Industry”
Wealthy Narcissistic twats who believe their own hype… with unresolved anger management issues.

Psychology lecturer. It slowly dawned on me that he and the rest of the psychology department were all very strange and not in a good way. They were some of the most childish, most manipulative people I've ever come across. In the end I came to the conclusion that people who are unsure of their sanity study psychology and those who figure out they're okay go and do something else, while those who aren't sure take up the subject professionally. The specimen I had a relationship with tried very hard to convince me that I was insane, until I half started to believe it myself. I was young at the time, but there you go.

I was going through the list thinking that I would date any of these (as long as they earned as much/more than me).
But, I've never met a social worker either professionally or socially who hasn't been a complete loony lefty twonk.

any guys in the airline industry it’s where I work and they are all cheaters. Nothing puts you off the most then seeing married pilots chat up all the young girls. Gives me the ick immediately

Some cannot think past stereotypes.

Military or police

I worked in the film and tv industry as crew for about 7 years and there was a lot of cheating going on there. People all working away from home for weeks at at time, long hours, a lot of drinking and drugs and a ton of hooking up. If you were a young female there seemed to be an automatic expectation you would be up for a bit of fun and when you rejected them it could lead to a lot of unpleasant on set bullying. I even had much older men saying they would make or break my career based on how "fun" I was prepared to be. I was never a fun girl. I think I can count on one the hand the number of decent guys I worked with in that industry. The divorce rate was also sky high unsurprisingly.

I also remember reading about some study which said that men who teach in high schools, collages and universities are more likely to be divorced or dissatisfied with their wives. The theory being that men in these professions are constantly exposed to young women at the peak of their fertility and youthful beauty and the on going comparison between their students and their older wives was damaging to the marriage.

Like others here have already said I am married to a civil engineer and he is lovely so its looking like engineers could be a good option, but hands off mine! I'm an artist so apparently self absorbed and poor, actually I am neither, I make good money from my work and am pretty normal otherwise. Having said that I am glad I am with an Engineer and not another artist!

Another vote for police I'm afraid.

I've been the victim of a few violent and non violent crimes- found the police vile
During covid- found them vile
Through my work I speak with them a lot- find them vile

I am sure there may be some that are not vile but my experience of them has been enough to rule them out completely for dating. So many of them I have found to be on a massive power trip and to be totally unconcerned about the truth/facts during investigations and more concerned about wielding their perceived power

I used to work in the airline industry, and most of the guy I used to work with never cheated. So, it's not true. Some do, but not all. Same for any occupation.

Lawyers but particularly barristers. Lying opionated c@nts

Police and salespeople.

Paramedic. A lot of cheating with each other.

Police - affairs are rife! Close bonds form when people go through that kind of shit at work, shifts are also really crap for family life

Army - never around for family stuff
Actors - too much ego, instability with finances etc and again affairs

Goes for airline I’ve worked for 4 now and they all do.

Actor or musician. I dated a couple in my younger days and you can forget about fidelity. I didn't care at the time, as I was young and having fun, but not so good when you want to settle down.

Abbatoir work -psychopaths killing animals met a former one i know is in indenial about how seriously damaged fucked up he is,

He was a former soldier went into the army cause his stepfather psychologically abused him physically to such an extant,
that he became a soldier to atone for his step father's abusive behaviour to get back at him for everything.

Police Officer or Armed Forces the risk of DV, PTSD or being killed is too high which is a shame as I know may AF and they ate lovely particularly Royal Engineers

Any creative professional even though I am one which enough for any relationship, actually almost all proper careers as they all seem to be mildly depressed without many friends and life going for a woman to fix them from about 35 onwards. Trades seem better but are the same just with worse backache

I found I like men with jobs, good jobs, capable of always getting one and a fairly good one but a means to end not careers and certainly not self defining

Sorry typo mistake word atone *

Police too. Awful.

With the exception of one, every ex-military guy I've ever worked with had issues "taking orders" from a woman. Would make me wary of how equal a relationship would be.

I've worked with a lot of police officers. All the good looking ones knew they were and I've been propositioned on more than one occasion.

I only know one surgeon on a personal level although I have met a few of his colleagues/circle of friends. Definite superiority god complexes going on.

I'm not saying I definitely wouldn't date any of these, if I happened to meet them and liked them before knowing their profession I wouldn't bin them off, I'd probably see how things went. However if I was on OLD I'd definitely swipe left 😂

Police officer, lawyer, dentist, traffic warden. Have known personally first 2 and worked with lawyers, I’m sure some are lovely. Never dated properly but went on a date with first which doesn’t quite count. Everything you’ve heard is true re police officers. Oh and army. Ex fiance years ago was in Canadian army but UN peacekeeping forces, thank god we never got married!

police officer - I know 4 officers and 3 of them are divorcing/separated/ or actively cheating on his wife (along with his colleagues). There are nice ones i’m sure, a family member was one and as far as i know had no marriage issues, but even he admitted he’s seen it negatively affect lots of relationships
