The 10 Most Un-Dateable Professionals

Comments (11)

It never fails, you're at a lounge, and the man who is checking you out the most, just isn't your cupt of tea, physically. However, he finds a way to stir up a quick convo, you discover that he's a doctor, and you quickly decide that, although he looks more like Lil' Wayne than Idris Elba, maybe a date or two won't hurt.

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.
