Inspired by another thread about worst jobs. What are the coolest/sexiest jobs?

Bodyguard.

Lovely walking down the street knowing they are automatically watching, even when they’re not at work...

LulusMiniEgg · 08/01/2019 20:51

But for me I always fancied an architect or graphic designer, something creative....

Chef. I think because I'm such an awful cook, it's probably more primal survival instinct.

But there's something so sexy about his confidence, the way he gets so into his cooking - knife skills, flames and fire, the attention to detail in his flavouring and presentation. LSS I think it's the passion he shows that makes me be able to sit and watch him for hours. Plus a good fitting chef jacket is hot.

Oh god. Though I have just flashed back to the heart surgeon I dated briefly a while ago - deeply arrogant (turned he only dated Oxbridge graduates, refused to even look at anyone else because "they wouldn't be able to keep up intellectually").

Maybe scrap surgeon. And add vet, a good suggestion by PP.

Lawyer, architect

Think where those Vets hands have been Envy < not envy

DartmoorDoughnut · 08/01/2019 21:00

Army officer. Ok mainly because I married one but also because of that whole take charge and protect the weak vibe whilst being able to literally kill the bad guys

TakenForSlanted · 08/01/2019 21:01

The sexiest man I've ever dated was a playwright.

Lawyer, I guess.

Obviously, for a woman it's got to be management consultant. No debate and totally not what I do for a living. Grin

Vet

Jsmith99 · 08/01/2019 21:01

Pilots really aren’t sexy at all. They are nerdy individuals who are obsessed with seniority, checklists, seniority, SOPs, seniority, the weather and seniority.

lemonface · 08/01/2019 21:02

Seems like the forces are coming up as worst and best!
What about a tree surgeon ?

Ffsnosexallowed · 08/01/2019 21:02

Tree surgeon.

lemonface · 08/01/2019 21:02

Snap Grin

Ffsnosexallowed · 08/01/2019 21:02

Cross post!

Siennacub · 08/01/2019 21:04

I’m marrying a pilot in May and I can’t wait, because despite what the above poster said, he is fun, up for a laugh, intelligent, kind, generous and VERY good looking Grin

I have fancied a few vets in my time and would loved to have married one as I’m animal obsessed!

EarlyBird123 · 08/01/2019 21:04

Any uniformed job. DP is in the navy so got to be the favourite

Social worker or nurse

(I married an architect - total stuck up, selfish, pretentious wanker he turned out to be - as were most of his male colleagues)

TakenForSlanted · 08/01/2019 21:06

Pilots really aren’t sexy at all. They are nerdy individuals who are obsessed with seniority, checklists, seniority, SOPs, seniority, the weather and seniority.

I used to date one of these, too. Did like the nerd bit, mind, but the seniority focus was a bit of a drag, to be honest.

I mean, who wants to tell their partner they just got promoted and get a response of "yeah, well, that's easy in YOUR line of work"?

MadMillie · 08/01/2019 21:08

😂😂 at pilots being sexy. I've just looked across at DH snoring his face off on the chair opposite me and there's nothing remotely sexy about him at the moment.

SuziQ10 · 08/01/2019 21:08

My DH is just about to qualify as a Lawyer. He's got a great job, loves it and looks sexy in his suit!!
Proud of him. Only 28 with a 4year old dd and does all he can for us, working hard for a brilliant career. Sexy af to me!

Also have a thing for male vets 😂
