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

Spirited he looks more like physio (chest)

Yearinyearout · 08/01/2019 22:09

Anyone (well not anyone, someone handsome and hunky obviously) wearing those work trousers with all the tools attached, and looking slightly dishevelled. That does it for me (my DH does nothing of the sort sadly)

MillieMoodle · 08/01/2019 22:09

Fireman. Or soldier. I think it's the sexy uniform. Or manual jobs like electrician, builder, mechanic - where there's strong arms and a bit of dirt Blush

@Pachyderm1 - same here. In 12 years I'm yet to meet one even halfway there!

As the old joke goes, what's the difference between a surgeon and God? God doesn't think he's a surgeon.

Racehorse trainer. It's the thighs and the money 😬

Vet, definitely; those check shirts and chinos. Plus they are nice people, helping all the animals.

I went out with two pilots in my late 20s/early 30s... they were rare good looking ones but both of them cheated on me with cabin crew.

FevertreeLight · 08/01/2019 22:15

Vet (because they save teeny tiny aminals)

very dirty fingernails

TheToffeeTruckinTown · 08/01/2019 22:15

Scaffolder. It's the arms
Also, rock star of course.

Pearlgrey1 · 08/01/2019 22:19

Professionally rich as mentioned would do.
After working with doctors/surgeons I honestly couldn't think of anything worse than marrying one

Vet
Professional sports man 😂 boxer
Something in trades that keeps them fit and I can get a free extension built on my house

Sayings all this I'm marrying a lawyer who doesn't even know how to change a light bulb not cool nor sexy

JennyHolzersGhost · 08/01/2019 22:20

This thread is like a litany of assholes (all of those I’ve met, anyway. I haven’t to my knowledge yet met a blacksmith though so there’s hope. Maybe it is possible to be sexy AND nice).

Tentomidnight · 08/01/2019 22:25

Has anyone bagsied heavily armed police officers yet? Must have an automatic rifle.

glowingtwigs · 08/01/2019 22:26

@JennyHolzersGhost I went out with a blacksmith too... he was an alcoholic who used to wee the bed! And he cheated on me with an ex 😂

Didn't have much luck in my younger days but now married to lovely DH who doesn't have an exciting job really but is way nicer!

BabetteAteOatmeal · 08/01/2019 22:27

My DH is a barrister. Human rights law, like Mark Darcy. He wears a suit WITH CUFFLINKS for work, and owns a wig (sadly they rarely actually wear them in court). He’s not quite Colin Firth, but sexy as fuck 😍

Athrawes · 08/01/2019 22:30

Spy
Totally mysterious and fit (to run away from bad guys) and intelligent

TheToffeeTruckinTown · 08/01/2019 22:34

I'm adding in Archaeologist - mainly for jennyholzersghost as they'd be sexy but not an asshole.

I'm disappointed about the blacksmith Shock

WeakAsIAm · 08/01/2019 22:35

Never met a nice fireman, they may be easy on the eye but total knobs when you speak to them.
Now paramedics, always friendly and never pretentious, even the non classic good looking one's are sexy because they are so lovely.

MyBreadIsEggy · 08/01/2019 22:37

I’m married to a serving soldier - while he does look dashing in his dress uniform, the best is when he’s been away either on exercise or a tour. He comes home with dishevelled hair, stubble, tanned and delicious Grin
Our bed once ended up covered in Afghan desert dust because we didn’t wait until after the shower to welcome him back to British soil Blush

UtterlyDesperate · 08/01/2019 22:38

I really wouldn't go for an archaeologist: mainly beardie weirdies with coteries of young female students and homes where you wipe your feet on leaving. Indiana Jones it ain't!

IamFrauBlucher · 08/01/2019 22:38

My exDH was in the army. Uniform was hot but i me met so many cheating, misogynist types it wore off a bit.

Current DP is in construction and I must admit I go mad for a bit of Hi-viz, the smell of a day's work on his company tee shirts and the wired rock hard bod underneath. Blush

I have never been caught sniffing his T-shirts before they get washed, nope

Purpleartichoke · 08/01/2019 22:40

Mathematician, cryptologist, composer.

Sixparentsandcounting · 08/01/2019 22:41

Teacher, good, caring kind but firm teacher. My PGCE mentor was decently attractive, but the way he commanded a room was so hot.

soundthealarm · 08/01/2019 22:43

Surely this is incredibly subjective and based on what the individual woman finds sexy?

My DH is an investment banker and I find him sexy AF.

But some women might cringe at the idea of dating or being married to a banker! I've always dated banker-types though so... 🤷🏼‍♀️
