According to “Page Six,” Parker Posey tipped a babelicious bartender 50 bucks on two glasses of wine. Clearly the recession isn’t affecting her hot pocket! But Parker, baby girl, hitting on a bartender is like trying to hold a rainbow. Sure, something about a man serving you is pretty darn seductive, but every girl in the room is getting his attention. Certain men are just hazardous to date because of how they earn their paycheck doesn’t allow them to value you. Here are some jobs that taint your chance at romance…
 | Bartender: He gets paid to flirt and you like the way he serves you a heavy pour. So, while he may seem like a prince, his palace is paid for because he’s charming. Every woman finds him sexy, especially after he serves up a couple alcoholic beverages. |
 | Banker: Sure, he's got dough to blow on you, but it gives him a sense of entitlement. When he tallies up your bill, you’ve got to pay up! A man who is constantly chasing money, expects it’ll buy him everything else he wants. |
 | Actor: He’s good looking, entertaining, and open with his emotions -- a winning combination! But, you can never love him as much as an audience and that’s the grandiose display of affection he really wants and needs. |
 | Lawyer: Always willing to fight for what he wants, lawyers can be so sexy during the chase. But beware, a lawyer always has to have the mental upper hand and he is judgmental of everything and everyone. Plus, he withholds information to keep his advantage. So, in addition to sexy times, he will mindf**k you too. |
 | Musician/DJ: A man with a lot of pent up emotions and a guitar (or turntables) needs his feelings validated by hordes of women passionately swooning to his songs. But in his ideal world, he gets what he wants and then he leaves town! Music is the wide net he casts to seduce a whole bunch of party girls with his softer side. Alas, every rose has its thorn. |
 | Politician: It’s his job to make people believe him. He knows just what to say, but then what does he do? He needs to win to get off. Power is his aphrodisiac. |
 | Psychiatrist: He’ll spend his life trying to understand you, but constantly having your emotions scrutinized is a lot of pressure. Often, that kind of analysis makes you less able to be real. Do you want to be a patient or crazy in love? |
 | Business Man: A hustler is constantly looking for his next conquest. He’s always got his eyes out for opportunities that might arise. Will he ever see you as being the best deal of his life? |

@abbylyn - are you serious? chefs, programmers, research assistants, grad students, fire fighters, doctors/nurses, pilots, military men, small business owners, administrators, baristas, retail folks, construction workers, teachers, etc. How are you people thinking this actually would eliminate that many guys - even if it wasn’t more than just a joke lol

There really aren’t bankers with “dough to blow” in this economy anymore. So, scratch that one.

@joyy
hahaha I laugh because I totally said the same thing abbylyn said! after reading I was like “so what does that leave us with???”
that and I could never date a man with that job title that reads “barista”. furthermore graduate student is more of a education level than a job title.
either way, bring on the firemen! i love that uniform

I dated a politician. He was a rather big fish in a little pond where we live….and he fit that definition above to a “T”.
Shows you how brilliant *I* am.

@wittybitch - most grad students I know don’t have jobs outside of it that aren’t directly related to their stipend funding, meaning that they usually are grad students by occupation - it is what they do for a living. My brother finishes his MS in the summer, and his best bet for supporting himself may be to do a doctorate. Besides, you’ve never heard of “professional students”?
As for barista, I’ve never dated one but it is one of the many job titles not listed in the thread.

OK, with all the shallow, needy/greedy pretenders out of the way… I’ll move on to the environmentalists, activists, and spiritual leaders. Simcha’s totally on about the headtripping lawyers too—evil. Like WB, bring on the firemen!

Ladies, if you’re looking for firemen, they’re all in my town (between municipality fire depts and the forest service guys, they’re everywhere). If you like your men rugged, come get ‘em haha!

I agree with CheeeeEEEEse that this is really stereotypical. You could make up something like this for every profession.
Also, Business Man is really broad, a lot of people working for any type of business could fall into that category.

The closest stereotype I would fall into is ‘Businessman’ however I would much rather wear shorts and flip flops for the money I’m making.

Yikes!! Does that go both ways on the lawyer career???
What is a nice legal lady supposed to do with a stereotype like that??
Does that make me always always right? One “always” for being a woman and the other for the exceptional arguing skills?

Shouldn’t the “PERPETUALLY UNEMPLOYED” be at the top of this list?

I’ve dated nothing but musicians (cause I am one myself)and the description above is way off. I know a lot of musicians and they DO NOT play music to seduce girls (it is sometimes a side effect though). That is absolutely ridiculous. They play music because they love music. Just know that no matter how much they love you, they will always love music more. If you insist on being #1 then a musician is not for you. Also, most of them wear their hearts on their sleeve and are openly emotional. I do know a few who keep their emotions pent up though. The #1 problem I’ve had is they tend to be either alcoholics or have some other type of addiction.

As far as psychiatrist/psychologists…it’s technically unethical for one to “psychologize” outside of their work setting. Same goes for counselors, my man is one and he was tought in grad school to NOT do what he does outside of the office. And if a guy does do this, he shouldn’t be.
