DP is a aircraft engineer in the RAF. I find a uniform a turn on anyway but the fact he can fix a plane is pretty sexy too.

Surgeon.
Fireman.

My bf is an IT engineer..... useful, but not as sexy as his part time photography job....one of my fav pics of him is shooting planes with his giant lens!

Hahahaha! I must have the perfect day. Visiting building sites, talking to investment bankers, architects, solicitors. They vary hugely.

It is a toss up between a very fine site manager in Cumbria and a geeky barrister.

I had a long distance relationship with a lovely Dutch fireman and one of the first times I flew to Holland to meet him I was standing at the balcony of my hotel room waiting for him and he came to get me in his fire engine all lights flashing and everything!! I have never been so turned on in my whole life

Underwriter.

cecileavoriaz · 12/01/2019 19:56

Tree surgeons
Carpenter
Marine biologist
Dive instructor. Dh and I were diving instructors. Some of my male colleagues were quite eye catching

OhTheRoses · 12/01/2019 20:01

Gosh yes my tree surgeon is a sight to behold. 30ish, bronzed, rippling. Must book pollarding soon Grin

I have only really dated DJs. I find entertainers attractive in general.

I have only really dated DJs. I find entertainers attractive in general.

Give me a break, they're rarely up to scratch, they usually end up being a trainwreck. I went on a dinner date with a DJ and when the first platter arrived, he just kind of mixed it and then he told me to beat it.

Ok, that's enough DJ puns for one evening.

Fr3d · 12/01/2019 20:31

They may be sexy but I would hate to be married to most of these! Long unsociable hours, dangerous jobs, etc

LadyB49 · 12/01/2019 20:32

Slownorris.... who fancied a nerdy scientist in a white coat.. My oh is a scientist. It's all done on computers now, no labs and no white coats. Wears jeans and t shirt to work.

Flyingfish2019 · 12/01/2019 20:33

@Fr3d You aren’t talking of DJs, are? Dangerous Job?

Leonard1 · 12/01/2019 20:42

Sexiest is fireman or armed forces. Most practical could be builder, plumber or painter and decorator!

Pia77 · 12/01/2019 20:44

Oooo a bit harsh ...most?? I’m a surgical trainee too and I do know what you mean - (especially about the career being a priority ) but there are plenty of good’uns amongst them I reckon... and of course the specialty matters a lot. I say all this and made damn sure I didn’t marry a medic but mainly because of the thought of living a two-rota life...

AlbaChick · 12/01/2019 20:58

Drover on a cattle station. Body lean and strong, amazing thighs from riding the horses. Come home late smelling of sun, dust and hard days work sweat. Stubble, tanned and touseled, manly not manicured. Any day of the week 😍

coppercolouredtop · 12/01/2019 21:01

I'm a lady policeman Smile

But the oh is a police Sgt....one of the sexiest things is his voice over the radio....used to make my heart flutter when I heard it....and he is fit fit fit! I shamelessly ogle 😂

Ethel80 · 12/01/2019 21:02

No men in uniform or suits for me, it's just not sexy to me.

I like slightly geeky sensitive men. Therapist, lecturer, that sort of thing.

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 12/01/2019 21:09

Paramedic. Something about being caring, calm in a crisis, knowledgeable and soothing. I have a shameless crush on a certain paramedic I know Blush

Youngandfree · 12/01/2019 21:21

My hubby is a marine engineer and I’ve stayed on board a few ships with him throughout the years... I have to say a muscly man in an oily boiler suit and hard hat does it for me!!! 👌💕💕 throw me over your shoulder hunny and take me to your cabin!! 😂😂

Youngandfree · 12/01/2019 21:23

I mean Dh 😂

VenusClapTrap · 12/01/2019 21:34

Vet would be my top vote, or tree surgeon - the one who does my tree work is very pleasant to watch as he wields his chainsaw. Good arms. I married an IT nerd though, because at the end of the day cleverness does it for me.

I was briefly an air hostess a long time ago, and I once met my mother for a quick coffee in a cafe on my way to work, in uniform. “Good god, girl,” she said as I sat down, “you need to go out clubbing dressed like that - every male in the place has just tracked you walk across this room!”

I seldom got chatted up on the planes though, despite the cliches about men fancying air hostesses. Doesn’t happen.

Janhold · 12/01/2019 21:55

Gardener/tree surgeon, builder or a carpenter but mainly the first two! Good with hands and manly! Nothing worse than an office bod or some pillock in a suit who doesn't know what a callus is but fancies himself immensely!

thornyhousewife · 12/01/2019 22:08

Carpenter or pro golfer.

Michellelovesizzy · 12/01/2019 22:10

Window fitter
