Professions to stay away from or vice versa

A couple of late additions to the list......
For women, NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL professional athletes.
I would add to this any kind of celebrity. I just think I couldn't deal with wondering what he was doing out there when on the road. Unless it was Patrick Kane, then maybe I could deal with it as long as he came home to me...
Just kidding...I think.0 -
Avoid married women with a hunter for a husband... I sprained my ankle jumping out of a 2nd story window once half naked, wasn't worth the hassle.
But the married women whose husband don't hunt are ok?
Less guns to shoot you with... I was just kidding btw.
You have all successfully eliminated 80% of the occupations out there... maybe it would be easier to list professions to go for??
It looks like my original statement was correct.
Farmer/mechanic/parts sales is where it is at. :smokin:
I saw no one list computer/IT guys/girls. YES! :happy:0 -
I think teachers are generally a safe bet. They seem to be good with communication, conflict resolution, and they tend to be good with kids. They seem to get a sick a lot though since they are around so many germs.
I definitely try to stay away from strippers, bartenders, and anybody that works nights. I've never dated a lawyer but I feel like they would e pretty argumentative and use it to their advantage. I'm friends with a lot of doctors and all they seem to talk about anymore is doctor stuff. Outside of the medical industry they have no social skills.
ahh frak, I missed this. Guess I'm out. :sad:0 -

I would recommend IT guys, as would a lot of my friends. Accountants get a bad rep for being boring, but I think that's changed a lot in the last 10-15 years. I do agree that Engineers are great. My brother is one and I love his group of friends.
To be honest, I do have reservations about some occupations, but obviously my dating "rules" have not worked thus far. No occupation is a deal breaker (except a stripper). If I feel some kind of connection with a man, I'll give him a chance.

I love people that know how to fix/build things. Be it tech related, home related, car related - I dunno. I think it just tends to indicate a mind that likes figuring out puzzles and problems (higher IQ).0 -
Sounds like you're being sarcastic. Are you not happy with being a safe bet? It was meant to be a compliment, there are a lot of things I like about teachers.I think teachers are generally a safe bet. They seem to be good with communication, conflict resolution, and they tend to be good with kids. They seem to get a sick a lot though since they are around so many germs.

I feel better knowing that the job I'm going to end up with makes me a "safe bet". Whew. Relief.0 -
How do you y'all feel about zookeepers/zoologists?0

Hmmmm......never met one, so I can't add anything other than you have me wondering as well.0 -
Marines can't handle me. I make them peel their faces off.
They cannot deal with my spontaneity, my affinity for throwing all the rules out the window and developing my own better ones, the dust in my room, the christmas lights on every wall, my distracting habit of running off at any moment, climbing trees, having an imagination, being happy almost all the time, etc.
Marines end up in fetal position asking me wtf dropped me on my head at birth and crippled me from being able to behave like a goddamn serious adult....0 -
Widows. I really hate to say that. But, I've dated two and ended up being hurt in the end. Both were great men that loved their wives dearly. Thought they were ready to move on. I dated one of them for 3 months before he just stopped talking with me abruptly. Never returned a call, never emailed. Just told me he didn't love me and that was that. The other, I went on one date with and the whole time he talked about and compared me to her the whole time....both had been widowed about a year. So...no widows.
Yeah, I agree. I avoid widows too. Seems to me that they'll never replace the love of their life. Although, I dont think that my logic is logical!! :laugh:
What if he actually murdered his first wife? Seems like he'd be over her, almost by definition, and would hence be acceptable to date. Might be an insurance windfall as a bonus. Hello, honeymoon in Thailand!

Oh, hey now. Someone with a mind as equally demented as mine. I tend to turn everything into a crime. Nice to meet ya!0 -
My BF's sister's ex husband is a cop.

Diplomats.
They'll schmooze your heart away and then leave it somewhere on some foreign shore, broke and unable to speak the language, only to be found again 5 years later. But boy, will you have a spectacular time before that happens.0 -

Prisoners/ mental patients seem to have no trouble dating. Its scarily true.0 -

I didn't think widow was a profession either but someone mentioned it.0 -
I would like to add TV camera men especially ones that travel for their job. Know a couple that work for one of the sports networks and they are always cheating and or leading women on. They try and have one girl in every "port".0

Professional widows are the ones that marry rich women then kill them off to keep their fortune :devil:0 -

You're hanging out with the wrong Marines. :bigsmile:
And, damnit.....widow isn't a profession. But, I had to throw it out there because it's a hazardous date. I'd also like to add "Professional Student", as in been in school for 10 years. I can't even say how many of these I've come across....0 -

I always heard that if they were in a different area code, it wasn't cheating.0 -

Between BS, MS, and PhD, I spent about 13 years in college. I guess you're right.0 -

It doesn't sound like a profession to avoid unless you are wealthy. At the end of the day, you could divorce and take half his assets. After that, I wouldn't date him again though. Another concern is that you may have to worry about him cheating on you with a much older and wealthier woman.0 -

They work at McDonalds, have their mom looking over their shoulder all the time, and don't even get to look at all the hot coeds associated with a brick and mortar campus. Life is rough.0 -

I once dated a marine who gave me a list of all the times he didnt want to hear me laughing in the background, because more than 2/3 of your day should be focused on serious tasks. This included stuff like - when Im cooking, when Im on the phone with my mom, when Im ironing....
shakes head.
Life with marines is all shut up and no happy.0 -

Sounds like a classic douche. I'm an army brat that was stationed on a marine base. I love military men, though there are douchemongerers like any other profession.0 -

LMFAO!!! That's the other laugh I needed today.
Been around the military for 15 years and avoid the *kitten* at all costs. It sounds like you definitely found yourself one of those!! Sorry he spoiled it for you.0 -
I know that I am anal but I have to say this. It has been driving me nuts. lol
Widows are women and widowers are men. :flowerforyou:0
