Avoidable professional

[mauditsoitils]

Im mid thirties and more or less single after a LTR through my twenties. Im childfree and happy to stay childfree.

Im happy and content in my singleness - truly- I have a nice life, good friends, amazing siblings, brilliant nieces, à career that has its ups and downs but that is rewarding. I am economically stable.

So here is the question - without justification - one evening many yonks ago - my elder sister made me promise to never date people from a certain profession. She didn't want to elaborate but just said "Don't".
My best friend of many years (Male) recently said as long as you don't choose à "same profession" you'll be happy. He didn't want to elaborate either.

Sister is an academic, best friend is a surgeon, I'm a lawyer.

AIBU to ask you to guess thé profession?

I ask because I am being quite nicely flirted with be a man who is "profession" ... He's a relative stranger - we met in real life but no mutual acquaintances.

Farmer.

I extend that advice to everyone.

Porn star

Im reading - no one has got it yet.

As regards with how strictly - its à règlemented profession.

As for surgeons - I know a few utter arses - but also (best friend included) some of them are the loveliest people I know.
I interact with law enforcement (or I used to - rare now) and I have met some I wouldn’t date and some I would.

Don’t worry. If you weren’t married I would date you ;-)! Doctors are not vetoed by my sister and best friend.

The madness can be fun tbf

My guess is accountant

I hate male accountants

Engineer- detail orientated and always right (though prob not as not regulated).

Why social worker? Because of the hours? The implication and involvement needed? Thé stress?

Finance Bro or Estate Agent?

Btw most of these jobs are jobs, not professions

Wait, has anyone guessed vicar yet?

What does 'règlemented' mean?

Journalist?

I don’t need external input to know to avoid finance bros - I just couldn’t! I hear the word blockchain and my knickers weld to my body and even copious amounts or alcohol won’t detach them.

Psychiatrist

Ahhh hum let me look up a translation… English not my mother tongue!

Barrister?

Firefighter?

I'm a social worker, previously child protection but now adults with disabilities. I wasn't a good partner when I was in child protection, I was too emotionally drained to give anything to my relationship.

Fireman?

To be fair any occupation that is male orientated can be challenging
(says the man in a male orientated profession who was married to a doctor and who's partner used to be married to a barrister).

at risk of sounding very American : thankyou for your service!

Regulated occupation in English!

Fleabag nostalgia ;-)

Journalist

What's wrong with journalists?

I'd be thinking police followed by surgeon. Police are notorious for playing away and are massively misogynistic. I've heard these things directly from the mouths of police officers too. Surgeons are known to be a specific breed too, very arrogant, their job comes before anything else (which as a patient under their care you'd be glad of, as a wife doing everything on your own with 0 support not so much).
