KathyM Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 A male model. Especially one that models men's underwear.
Feelsgoodman Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 After that are the physical blue collar, "manly" professions...construction worker, lumberjack. Funny that you mention lumberjack. I have a buddy who is a lumberjack and he's a real ladies man even though he's broke. For some reason, women just melt when they find out what he does. His current GF left her multi-millionaire plastic surgeon boyfriend for him (and literally moved from a mansion into a trailer).
EasyHeart Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 What, a lawyer? Yeah right. Ewww, no! I am a lumberjack in the summer and architect in the winter. I am also a volunteer firefighter who has published 3 volumes of poetry and I play in a rock band on the weekends.

zengirl Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 A professor is a pretty sexy profession too, if the guy is actually cute, though you find very few sexy professors. I like guys who are experts on a field. And highly educated and brainy.

I like guys who are experts on a field. And highly educated and brainy. I did have a big crush on a professor I had who taught a class on feminist literature. He was brilliant and funny, tall and lithe, with extraordinarily blue eyes.
Author couplehundred Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks for the responses everyone. I was really hoping some of you wouldn't over think this so much though. I wanted to know what the sexiest job is and many of these answers related not to the job but to the passion for the job. I always figured passion was a rather obvious characteristic that people would find desirable. But being passionate is not a job. Lets see if I can ask my question another way.... You get a call from your cute best friend Shannon and she says she met a guy yesterday and cant stop gushing about him. After she tells the story about how they met and whatnot she says to you. "Oh, and he has the sexiest job EVER! Guess what he does..." What would be your top guesses? Thanks again for your answers.
azsinglegal Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 My man is a CSI for the police dept and that's pretty damn sexy IMO. He's my "nick". (and yes, he's hot and Italian),
LittleTiger Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Doesn't this thread just tell you that there is no 'most desirable profession'? That was your initial question and it's actually rather different from what's the 'sexiest profession'. Presumably you were expecting the answer to be something like a lawyer, a doctor or an entrepreneur, or maybe a firefighter or someone who does a very manual job and is good with his hands? Women are all different and we all want different things (thank God!) so the 'most desirable' or 'sexiest' profession will be different for all of us depending on what we find most attractive.
triciamm Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 For me it's about intelligence. If he shows he has intelligence and motivation and that he can hold down a job, I'm happy.
stillafool Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 What, a lawyer? Yeah right. The worst. I think firefighters, construction workers, self employed. To me manly jobs are sexy.
Author couplehundred Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 Doesn't this thread just tell you that there is no 'most desirable profession'? That was your initial question and it's actually rather different from what's the 'sexiest profession'. I am doing research for something I am writing. (This is how I earn a living.) Part of my research necessitates that I ask women what professions they find sexy. Obviously when seeking a mate there are plenty of complex issues to consider and the world is filled with unlimited variables to back up this complexity. Presumably you were expecting the answer to be something like a lawyer, a doctor or an entrepreneur, or maybe a firefighter or someone who does a very manual job and is good with his hands? I am happy to collect answers even if they are the answers I was expecting. Everyone knows that there are lots of women who dig firefighters. I worked as and EMT and saw/and experienced for myself how true this stereotype is. Something about the the concept of being with somebody who by profession is a "rescuer" just works and it makes sense that it does. Same goes for professions that are generally associated with large amounts of money. Women are all different and we all want different things (thank God!) so the 'most desirable' or 'sexiest' profession will be different for all of us depending on what we find most attractive. I agree with this totally but it still doesnt answer my question. I am really trying to encourage responses that are not over complicated. All I wanted to do here was get some simple answers like "Construction workers are really hot. Something about a man who works outside with a hammer all day is just yummy"... I am brand new to this forum but no forum rookie. I understand that threads like mine can take a life of their own. This is the nature of discussions. Nobody can predict with any certainty where they will go. All I did was ask a simple question to whoever clicked this link. What is the profession you find sexiest? and now all I am doing is trying to keep it on track. If you have an answer, Great! If not, that's fine too but lets not over complicate this with a philosophical debate. BTW, you never answered my question. Is there no professions that you consider sexy?
123321 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Its not the profession. Its the money. A doctor who does volunteer work with little pay as a full-time job won't get any attention from the ladies either. The prestige of being an MD is something in and of itself, but yeah, money counts for a lot. After all, that MD has the POTENTIAL to earn a lot even if he doesn't at the moment. I agree with this. Though I will say I have been inexplicably drawn to engineers over the last couple of years. The fact we possess enormous and skilled wangs has been carefully hidden (so to speak) from public view. My man is a CSI for the police dept and that's pretty damn sexy IMO. He's my "nick". (and yes, he's hot and Italian), Does he ALWAYS wear those gloves and booties when you are together?
Author couplehundred Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 The worst. I think firefighters, construction workers, self employed. To me manly jobs are sexy. Perfect answer. Thank you!
EasyHeart Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 You get a call from your cute best friend Shannon and she says she met a guy yesterday and cant stop gushing about him.

stillafool Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Lumberjack! Now that's just toooo hot! A lumberjack would take my breath away!
misssmartypants Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Unless the job is related directly to sexiness, I don't see how it can be sexy. A man who has his crap together and takes care of his responsibilities is going to be thousands of times sexier than a failed to launch pot head living in his parents' basement. Jobs I find attractive in men are probably jobs I would do. I'm a teacher, male teachers can be hot, or creepy . . . , EMTs and Firefighters are nice, until you get to know them and realize that the adrenaline junky thing gets old fast. Guys who are smart - I dated a Professor of biology, are always great. But mostly, if he likes what he does and does it well and honorably, I don't much care what his job is.
Trimmer Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Do you really believe it that literally? Or are you just generalising / exaggerating for effect? While I agree that money is is attractive, I don't think it's quite as overpowering as you say. Money for a man is like beauty for a woman. Its not everything but it is a very major factor. In math, conditions to prove something are described as "necessary" and/or "sufficient". "Necessary" seems kinda obvious, and "sufficient" means that a given condition, all by itself, will prove the theorem or whatever you're trying to do. Most of the time, most conditions used in proofs turn out to be "necessary, but not sufficient." That's how I think money relates to a man's attractiveness: necessary, but not sufficient. It pretty much needs to be there, but it's not enough all by itself. Hmmm... Mathematician? Well, he's not REAL, but in the early years of HIMYM before I realized what an emotionally unavailable douche he is under that romantic exterior, Ted Mosby is precisely my type. I would laugh at his "Main" Lobster jokes and bad puns. Other sexy TV architects include Rick from Once and Again. Can't believe nobody mentioned Mike Brady! Oooh baby... ==================================== So I'm sorry, but I find the search for the "sexiest profession" to be a pretty vapid question. Where is this going, on the front cover of "Cosmo" or something? Thanks for the responses everyone. I was really hoping some of you wouldn't over think this so much though. ]/quote] In other words, "your answers are too thoughtful. Please provide me more vapid answers to my vapid question..." At this point, aren't you doing little more than taking a poll? I wanted to know what the sexiest job is and many of these answers related not to the job but to the passion for the job. I always figured passion was a rather obvious characteristic that people would find desirable. But being passionate is not a job. So the answer to your question is: you need to ask a different question, but I know that doesn't help. I know you're just trying to make some coin to pay some bills, and I wish you good luck in that. Also, good luck in developing your career - maybe after doing a few of these puff-pieces, you can eventually work your way into writing something that you believe in. Lets see if I can ask my question another way.... You get a call from your cute best friend Shannon and she says she met a guy yesterday and cant stop gushing about him. After she tells the story about how they met and whatnot she says to you. "Oh, and he has the sexiest job EVER! Guess what he does..." I'd say "Shannon, why aren't we having sex like Justin and Mila, or Ashton and Natalie?"
azsinglegal Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Does he ALWAYS wear those gloves and booties when you are together? No...but he's pretty damn sexy in his all black with his name on the front. It's not like TV tho with CSI on the back.
Author couplehundred Posted July 24, 2011 Author Posted July 24, 2011 So I'm sorry, but I find the search for the "sexiest profession" to be a pretty vapid question. Where is this going, on the front cover of "Cosmo" or something? Ha, I wish. Cosmo pays! This is for a local magazine. A friend of mine is a photographer for them and sort of pushed me on his editor. ============================ In other words, "your answers are too thoughtful. Please provide me more vapid answers to my vapid question..." At this point, aren't you doing little more than taking a poll? Yes that's exactly what I am doing but instead of a poll, it was a "Fill in the blank" question. So the answer to your question is: you need to ask a different question, but I know that doesn't help. I know you're just trying to make some coin to pay some bills, and I wish you good luck in that. Also, good luck in developing your career - maybe after doing a few of these puff-pieces, you can eventually work your way into writing something that you believe in. Actually, I do that already. This is just a puff piece because I really want a new boat and If I get on board with this magazine I should be out on the water next summer. This would be the gravy on my mashed potatoes. My background is in motor sports and I travel quite a bit with different race teams and write stories about the events, driver and crew profiles, tech articles, product reviews, and stuff like that. I have no formal education when it comes to writing but, I am a fairly good story teller. I really just fell into this job. I am a regular on a racing forum and I organized a team of misfits from it to enter a novelty car race. (This was a 24 hour endurance race for amateurs with 500 dollar cars that are decorated and driven by costumed idiots with no real racing experience.) Anyway, I wrote a story about our adventure just for fun, and it was one of the most viewed threads the forum had had all year. Six months later we raced another one of these events and I wrote about that one too. Again, my story created quite a bit of traffic on his website so he hit me up and asked me to write for his news section. I told him I was not qualified for it but he insisted I was. I kept insisting "I am not a writer" and he basically told me he didn't care and explained all writing is, is story telling combined with spell check. Then he offered me a thousand bucks plus expenses to go to a race and come back with a story about the specialty tires they use for that particular format. So, I did it. That was 3 years ago. Since then I have quit my day job and I do this full time. I have been sent all over the country and met tons of interesting people and then when I get home, I write a story about it. I also get to do all this with one of his staff photographers who has become one of my closest friends. It is a pretty cool life I am living running around the planet with a buddy of mine and getting paid to go to races. I am also passionate about it so women want me (Rolls eyes) OOPS... sorry about the rant... What were we talking about again?

RepairMinded Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 My name is Dan and I occasionally work as freelance writer. Currently I am researching an article about dating. More specifically, I am researching "online dating". Without getting to wordy, I just want to find out what women (target market being 24-50) find to be the most desirable profession for a potential date/boyfriend/lover/husband to have. Thank you in advance for you responses. Your answers will help me pay my bills. Salad tosser.

It is a pretty cool life I am living running around the planet with a buddy of mine and getting paid to go to races. I am also passionate about it so women want me (Rolls eyes) See, now that I know a little more about you personally, I feel bad for busting your chops. That background was actually more interesting than your original question. And nice job, you took the next joke I was going to throw at you, which was that the sexiest profession either clearly is, (or clearly isn't - I hadn't decided yet) being a freelance writer. Actually, you are a good storyteller, because I kinda wanna do ya right now - and I'm a dude! Actually, I do that already. This is just a puff piece because I really want a new boat and If I get on board with this magazine I should be out on the water next summer. This would be the gravy on my mashed potatoes. Excellent - go for it and good luck with it! You should try to get more money by offering a sidebar: "Men say sexiest profession for women is:" I'll start off with: bass player (electric). buger eater. You misspelled "booger." OP, Loveshack is a discussion forum, not your psych lab. Are you offering compensation for those attempting to meet the arbitrary requirements of your "poll"? Be aware that you're arguably violating Loveshack's TOS by using its published content for a commercial purpose. Good thing all other problems and irritations on Loveshack have long since been solved, so we have lots of extra moderators sitting around just waiting to jump on this one. Seriously, though, at least the dude was right up front with his agenda. How many times can you read through an OP to be able to tell that someone's trying to complete a sociology homework assignment or a psych research paper. I've sent my answers to the OP via PM, and hereby state that I give him my permission to use them without restriction, so those answers were not "published" on the site, not subject to any copyright issues, and he's in the clear. I really want to see him in that boat!
