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

My hubby is a Close Protection Bodyguard

Oh yes, please. Richard Madden fantasy fulfilled.

STAY AWAY from musicians and graphic designers (speaking from experience) they love to wallow in their own ‘depth’ and complexity and often treat women like crap.

I’d probably have to agree with pilot or policeman, though I’ve never dated one of either

Bluntness100 · 08/01/2019 22:51

God, I know men who do most of these jobs, and I swear to god it's nothing like the tv versions ladies, they are just blokes, most of whom you'd really, really rather not shag,

Trust me on this, the job does not maketh the man,

TheToffeeTruckinTown · 08/01/2019 22:54

Oh no utterlydesperate my archaeologist dream is over!

I'll have an actor then please Smile

My DH is an investment banker

My next door neighbour is, if someone said to me lose your limbs or shag him id have to pause and give it some serious consideration,

I also have family members who are policemen and friends who are police, including armed police and my husband is ex military, and I live rurally and use rhe services of a tree surgeon often, I can assure you, you'd not look at one of them and think there was a decent shag between them,

Sorry ladies,

GobblersKnob · 08/01/2019 23:17

I've known firemen...... Wink Most were lovely.

Actor and musicians? Run a mile.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 08/01/2019 23:18

I used to know lots of investment bankers (work related). Nope.

KatyMac · 08/01/2019 23:25

DH is a dance teacher.......he can really move his hips which is pretty sexy

He used to do a line dancing class in the village we lived in (as a bit of a favour it's not really his thing) and all the old dears used to tell me they came to class to watch him dancing infront of them - I was never really sure what to say to that Hmm

Fisherman / trawler. Hat, wellies, oilskins, lifejackets. Might just be me 😁 but DP with a hot drink and goodbye kiss while I'm in bed and it's howling and dark outside is brilliant.

Mrsfrumble · 08/01/2019 23:37

Can confirm Architect DH is lovely. He’s very clever, idealistic and extremely passionate about what he does. As for sexy? Well I obviously think so, but I guess it depends on how much you enjoy spending your weekend tramping around Hawksmoor churches with a copy of Pevsner under your arm...

Thisimmortalcurl · 08/01/2019 23:37

I work with lots of drs / consultant psychiatrist/ nurses / psychologist and would not want to date any of them.
My husband has been a model / PR man and currently manages a bar / restaurant.
I would love a man who could play the guitar and sing to me however I do like seeing women flirt with him at work when I go in to his workplace .

toriatoriatoria · 08/01/2019 23:44

Got to be military, something about the uniform!

soupmaker · 08/01/2019 23:46

My DH is an electrician who installs fire alarm systems. I love it when he wears his tool belt. He's fit which also helps. And plays guitar for fun.

Blueblueyellow · 08/01/2019 23:48

LottieLou90 love the work bottoms on men, carpenters, tradesmen ect. Just something about them. Swoon☺️

poppiesallykatie · 08/01/2019 23:50

electrician, they can usually fix everything and have to have some brains

TheSmallAssassin · 08/01/2019 23:54

Sysadmin. Or maybe it's just my one.

ReaganSomerset · 08/01/2019 23:56

Hmm. Is someone writing an article?

Notmyrealname85 · 08/01/2019 23:59

No to investment bankers / corporate lawyers.

I could give you pretty bad statistics on pretty bad aspects of those men. I’m sure none of your partners are like that tho Blush

What about a joiner? I don’t know, someone who makes things with their hands :)

Notmyrealname85 · 09/01/2019 00:00

Close protection bodyguard??! Surely that’s the winner!

Pachyderm1 · 09/01/2019 06:43

He wears a suit WITH CUFFLINKS for work, and owns a wig (sadly they rarely actually wear them in court)

There is nothing sexy about a barrister’s wig!

Musicians

newmumwithquestions · 09/01/2019 07:17

Hmm. I’ve dated quite a few of these. The problem with a lot of ‘sexy’ professions is that most (in my purely personal and not statistically opinion) people who work in them seem to think they’re gods gift. And that in itself isn’t sexy.

I did start swooning at my cats vet once though. It was the fact he was so gentle with this tiny little poorly thing.

newmumwithquestions · 09/01/2019 07:17

*statistically significant

I briefly went out with a bike mechanic as a teen, he was swoon worthy.
