Funny enough, according to study done by the recruitment agency HireScores.com, both men and women alike are at times won over by an individuals profession for a variety of different reasons. Some of the professions we distinguish as the sexy or most arousing professions do not translate as being the most desirable professions for a significant other to have. A person's career indirectly speaks volumes of their personality, making them more or less attractive. This is the case for 1 out of 3 men, who say they would date a woman who was a doctor because they believe chances of them being properly cared for are greater. Other times, a person's profession may indicate what's in their bank accounts, which is the case for the 87 percent of women who say they would rather date doctors and lawyers whose jobs provide money, power and authority.
Ultimately, a career does have on impact on our choices on who we choose and don't choose to date. Whether those reasons are shallow or justified, I countdown the top 10 professionals one would be wise to steer clear of.10. Air Hosts/Hostesses
Air hosts, a.k.a flight attendants, b.k.a international players: Traveling the world gives you a lot of room to hide your dirty laundry and a lot time to do it.
9. Police Officers
Police officers are ordered to serve and protect, which, loosely translated for those that choose to date them, means long work hours and lots of danger. If you lack understanding, patience or faith, you can never date a cop.
8. Personal Trainers
All day, your super-fit girlfriend/boyfriend is being admired by men and women. Trainers are motivators/teachers, and remember back in the day when you fell in love with your teacher? Now imagine that teacher pushing your leg back for stretches while you're hot and sweaty. Sounds like a bad porno already.
7. Writers/Bloggers
Your whole relationship can be an ongoing interview, and every incident is a potential story idea. A writer's life is made up of constant deadlines, which may interfere with the amount of attention he or she is able to give you.
6. Models
We're not talking about the kind who book church fashion shows... they're safe. However, if you are dating a person who makes the runway and photo shoots their career, you have to be insanely secure and confident. Anything less will make you miss out on the bliss of dating a model in the first place.
5. Bartenders
Bartenders make money off their looks, and they love attention. Mixologists have mastered the game of flirting and teasing, conditioning them to be very insincere with their feelings even when they don't intend to be.
4. Psychiatrist/Psychologists/Counselors
It's like dating a writer, but 100 times worse. You are analyzed, studied, examined and evaluated by someone who has been taught the human psyche. In the middle of argument, you can never say, "You don't know what you're talking about!"
3. Professional Athletes
Three words: Away Games. Groupies.
2. Strippers
Just because T-Pain fell in love with his local pole dancer and made a song about it, doesn't mean you have to. Dating either a male or female stripper means breaking through and ignoring all the stereotypes associated with it. You must be able to handle your partner being adored for his/her sexuality, and them loving money maybe more than they love you.
1. Unemployed
This doesn't refer to those who have been laid off in rough economic times, but those who make unemployment a full-time job, figuring out how they can go through life without ever having to find work. Without much to occupy their time, they will become an annoyance when all their focus is put on you, but the lack of individual ambition is also a telltale sign of someone who won't be participating in the growth of the relationship.

This article unfairly discriminates against certain professionals by stereotyping. Anyone is capable of a healthy relationship if both parties are open and honest. Just because the opportunity to stray from a monogamous relationship are more plentiful doesn't mean every individual is suseptable.
Others with similar opportunities for travel and family separation are; airline pilots, military personnel, civil service personnel, mail carriers, construction workers, etc. - the list is endless, it's an individual preference.
The bottom line is; get to know the individual before you commit yourself, do some research on their occupation, and see how things go with vacations and holidays.

I am a writer, and what the article says about writers does pertain to me. I am too busy for a relationship. If I date, it will only be one person at a time. I do not have time to be out there meeting a lot of different people.

This article is hilarious! The only un-dateable "professional" I agree with is the unemployed by choice. This article sounds like the author had one too many bad experiences with flight attendants, cops, writers, bartenders, models, etc. You can not base someones personality by their profession. All athletes do not cheat and some strippers live normal lives just as anyone else. You better be glad you've found someone with a job in todays world. True Story: Im a BARTENDER who is a year away from a B.S. in PSYCHOLOGY and my boyfriend of 5 years is a COP. All the arguments that we have had have never been about his work or mine. BUT according to this crap, my relationship is headed towards destruction LOL!

You can find the good and bad side of dating in any profession if you look hard enough. I've dated women from several of these professions and had no problems. Obviously, you don't want to date anyone who makes a living entertaining the opposite sex or is away from home for long periods of time. And if you're not very secure with yourself, any occupation that involves a sociable environment can be an undateable profession.
