Which jobs would put you off dating someone?

[BobbyBiscuits]

Of course, everyone has to do something, so this is light-hearted.

But which jobs would be red flags for you and you can't imagine going out with someone who does this?

Mine would be-

Tory MP/aide/minister- or anything to do with the Tory party
Scaffolder
Stripper
Porn star
PT/fitness instructor/gym owner
Nightclub owner/ manager

Interesting to hear yours!

"I wouldn’t care what sort of job anyone had. I look at the person. Having said that, anyone unemployed would put me off."

That made me laugh. The lack of self awareness is staggering!

What? All of them?

He was drafted, then?

So, because you personally know a few police officers, your views are more valid than the findings of multiple inquiries and the statements of the NPCC?

I don’t think I’m the one who needs to give their head a wobble.

Any job working for royalty
probably all of the above
banker
frakker
anyone famous

Police (been there, done that)
Pro rugby player (also been there)
Only fans
Trader
Big 4
Army/marines (never known one that wasn't a cheat)
Doctor or really anyone that works shifts vs 9-5

I generally find public sector workers to have an entitled mindset.

Well, obviously I can't comment on your experiences but it's quite the sweeping generalisation. It wasn't my experience during the years I worked in the public sector, put it that way.

Bramble picker

Unemployed
Fisherman/fish monger- eurgh the smell!
Police/army or anything dangerous like that
Sex worker/stripper etc
Someone who was away alot or did shift work as we’d be apart too much

Teacher. But not because I am a teacher troll, because you would never see them.

I would find someone who thought that to be the entitled one

My best mate is a teacher, he doesn't usually work past 4.30. He goes in early though.

I was wondering that too - baffled! 😁

banker
trader
police
army
politician

Vicar

Scaffolders tend to be massive coke heads

I really can't understand why people come onto threads to declare they are somehow morally better than everyone else on the thread because the thread is stupid/typical of MN/not right because...

As with life - don't chew on a sandwich if you think it's made of turd.

Police
Army
Any job in bars/clubs
Any Job in the sex industry
Tory
Funeral director
Gynaecologist
Debt collector

Well mine is perfectly trustworthy. Yes he is intelligent ( enough to retire 17 years early) He loves poetry and is favourite writer is Sir Walter Scott and he can speak more than one language. Yes he can also swear like a Navvy and drink like a sailor but you will be hard pushed to find someone as honest as he is. Don't judge a book !

Politician
influencers/you tubers
sex industry worker
anyone that travels a lot for work
shift workers (I worked shifts for many years and it’s hard on family life)

I'd be put off by people like the OP.

Yeah pretty much. No-one messes with a scaffolder tbf. Even my scary neighbour who complains every single day about the building work didn’t dare to tell the scaffolder off (just muttered under her breath 😅)

My DH is a builder so I’m obviously biased but the younger trades are normally lovely and nothing like the stereotypical old school lot so don’t write them all off.

If I really liked someone, I don't think their job would put me off.

But, I always feel a bit "ick" when someone says they work in politics. Because more often than not they are willing to compromise their values for their career progression.

I misread that as “sausage related profession”😂

I’m really shocked by some of these replies.

As long as someone is working (or is only temporarily unemployed) then their job wouldn’t come into it.

Most people work because they need the money and so I wouldn’t judge anyone who was a traffic warden etc because I know they’re just doing their job.

No job would put me off apart from perhaps a stripper/sex worker.

I want to say someone who works in a slaughter house but then I eat meat and so I can’t really judge them on that else I’d be a hypocrite.

I’d also want to say an influencer but then I don’t see that as a proper job anyway.
