Yep, stay away from cops and military. Unless you like getting beat up. The rates of domestic violence for those two groups is incredibly high.

Blackishcat27 · 2019-11-01T23:58:46+00:00

To be fair my dad was navy and he was a great husband and father. my Uncle too but stay the hell away from the marines. No good can come from that.

DxMePls · 2019-11-01T21:25:14+00:00

Can we also start a thread about "which professions TO date"? hahah

Orange_Paisley · 2019-11-01T20:30:39+00:00

Don't date bartenders. They have an endless supply of drunk women throwing themselves at them, and a lot of them have alcohol and/or substance abuse problems.

ManchurianCantaloupe · 2019-11-01T21:49:26+00:00

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES.

Jesus fucking christ, the months of my life I'll never get back.

Liz_Lemondrop · 2019-11-01T21:52:44+00:00

Chefs or cooks. They're all drug addicts of alcoholics

siddmartha · 2019-11-01T20:11:27+00:00

I'll second Military..be very very wary. Even National Guard dudes are weird..

Onionpepsi · 2019-11-01T21:48:48+00:00

So what i’m getting from this thread is: don’t date men at all. Tell me something i don’t know

modernmedusaa · 2019-11-01T22:02:40+00:00

Tbh I've always been wary of cops and military. Too many power hungry assholes driven to those types of careers.

PeruvianPotat0 · 2019-11-01T22:12:10+00:00

What do you ladies think about architects?

thelittleewe · 2019-11-01T21:43:41+00:00

I go to a technical college in a rural town, and I'd be weary of any men in male dominated technical fields. Mechanics, linemen, welding, etc. I have a class that focuses on communication in the workplace as well as social and culture differences; the amount of proud ignorance and disrespect is unreal and sickening. They egg each other on, and encourage one another to be as vulgar and offensive as possible. Not a place where you're going to find many men worth your time.

OMFG. This was my list. Whenever I say stuff like this, I get banned for "dehumanizing" from other subreddits when I was REALLY warning women that these professions attract men who tend to be abusive. These professions also tend to look past a man's criminal record and tend to give men with abusive and violent tendencies "a second chance" at life.

Avoid:

- Veterans. ALL of them. Navy, airforce, even if he was "just an engineer". NOPE. AVOID HIM.

- ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONAL. Even the "desk jockeys". This includes men working for the FBI, the CIA, the VA, the NSA, DHS, Department of State, etc. etc.

- Paramedics, first responders

- "martial artists"

- Bodybuilders

Sources:

" This is especially true for the spouses of law enforcement. Multiple studies have found that 24-40% of police officer families experience domestic violence (in contrast to 10% of families in the general population). Not only are the abusers' friends and colleagues the very people victims would turn to for help, but the abuser is also trained to use a gun, which increases the risk of homicide by 500%.

I've heard military guys are abusive.

Inez_Honeyfox · 2019-11-01T21:37:24+00:00

NEVER:

Musicians of any sort- this is what I have the most experience with, everything from your local kid with a guitar all the way up to internationally famous ones. I’ve been living as a non-monogamous girlfriend of one of the latter types for the last decade (it’s why I’m here, but that’s another story) and as a result, men of all walks of life constantly think I’m “one of the boys” and they talk to me like I’m one of them. They’re all fucking disgusting dogs. Seriously, avoid

I don’t have as much experience with other artists, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume it’s not terribly different.

What should I date...?

c21h30o2-- · 2019-11-01T22:32:03+00:00

Politicians, clinical psychologists, trimmers, dealers, and “freelancers” or “entrepreneurs.”

siwwywabbitsnap · 2019-11-01T21:45:34+00:00

Former member of the military here: in all fairness there are some really good dudes in all of these professions. But there are also some really bad ones. There were dudes in my unit who had “unit girlfriends” when they had wives at home. It sucked. I always tell my friends now to think long and hard about considering a military dude.

modernmedusaa · 2019-11-01T21:57:28+00:00

chefs (unless very high end )

electricians

roof tilers

carpenters

takeaway delivery drivers

call centre managers

basically anything that requires little formal education, even if they own their own 'business' going to be low IQ/low paid most times

plannergorl · 2019-11-02T02:22:18+00:00

I get most of this is generalizing, because I know really sweet guys in many of these professions. I am wondering if maybe the root of the matter is lots of men don’t work their childhood trauma and other shit out before they start dating.

katiedarling37 · 2019-11-02T04:05:26+00:00

Not all of these men are created equal - military men are rough, but you’re going to find a diamond or two. I met some wonderful guys that all ended up with great careers and beautiful families - I’m still in touch with a good number of them and tbh, I’m a little jealous. They can be old fashioned, but I only know of one divorce in the group and it was not really anything that gets talked about here (raising a special needs child will tear up a marriage....)

Don’t date anyone under an E-5, try and find an officer. They are more settled and proven in their career. The rest of the rules still apply.

BizSib · 2019-11-01T20:45:26+00:00

Musicians 🙅🏼‍♀️ Often nice to look at, but use binoculars...

Doctors- They have affairs with nurses all the time.

Sailors/ merchant navy dudes- They have a wife at every fucking port!🤢

Martial art skills- You don't want to get a free show of ninja skills when he's drunk, do you?

IT industry- You'll never find a single evidence that he cheated

Ward boys/ butlers/ someone with weird hair colours/ someone who is passive aggressive

Edit: POLITICIANS!! They can bury you with £$€

CuriousCatNYC777 · 2019-11-02T03:31:36+00:00

I’ll go ahead and add Wall Street bankers to this list!

rftw2013 · 2019-11-01T22:43:17+00:00

I'll add to the list: Pilots (girl in every port) Models/actors IT guys (that culture is toxic) Teachers Pastors Law enforcement or military Truck drivers Retail or food service Artists Musicians "Entrepreneurs"

Amateur comedians or anyone sees life completely through the lens of comedy. Nothing is ever serious and a joke must always be made no matter the environment.

Jazz musicians. Just. Stay. Away.

bitchyrussianbot · 2019-11-02T04:15:18+00:00

Add pilots and bartenders.

Jessicajf7 · 2019-11-02T04:52:15+00:00

Heating and air condition workers. Many are Meth users, or sex addicts

pheoth · 2019-11-04T04:17:38+00:00

I have been dating a firefighter for over six faithful year's and my brother, marine, has been with his wife for 20+... Pretty sure it's not the occupation that causes a man to cheat..

Totally disagree on the military. I am a veteran, as was my father, my uncles, and my grand father. My son and nephew are currently serving. I'd like to think I raised decent humans.

ontherailstoday · 2019-11-02T04:29:09+00:00

Bouncers. Just no.

Personal trainers.

Also date with caution only... guys who are self employed in some sort of field it is cheap to set up and are going to be anywhere anywhen because of work with no accountability... I'm thinking carpet cleaners, lawn mowing businesses, office cleaners etc. A lot of them choose that path over an actual job because they like being dodgy ass and the self employment is an excuse to be where-ever they want. I mean they are quite possibly just driving round looking for shit to steal and trouble to get into.

21feels · 2019-11-02T04:20:01+00:00

Ted in accounting will also cheat though...

TiredFred · 2019-11-02T09:53:57+00:00

Totally agree. Plus once it get serious you don’t want to have kids with someone who travels / works shifts. You want 50\50 childcare. Get a man who understands that both your careers will take a childcare hit, but that you’ll be much better off by both earning $75k than one $0 and one $150k. Get a man who views having children and earning money as a team effort, not an excuse for him to work long hours then fuck his secretary as you don’t ‘understand him’ anymore.

gcthrowaway2019 · 2019-11-02T15:29:08+00:00

Noticed these positions don't require education beyond a Good Enough Diploma. Hell you can be a truck driver if you're an ex-con/felon too.

tiramisuboba · 2019-11-02T00:00:22+00:00

Doctors! Very big ego apparently and super practical/calculating.

olivetree08 · 2019-11-04T06:04:01+00:00

MUSICIANS and WRITERS I know from experience. Never again. I’m planning on finding an ornithologist 😆 but true! Some sweet biology or ecology man

xombiesue · 2019-11-02T03:04:43+00:00

Weird one but car salesmen. Used or on dealerships, doesn't matter. Lots of cocaine and weird energy in those people. All cheaters for sure.

bethestorm · 2019-11-02T05:46:25+00:00

Curious about counselors / social workers / teachers?

This thread is blowing my mind rn I can't believe how much I have never considered these things like y'all are amazing and I love how many women can be saved from potential danger just by this thread

burntmatchesburn3x · 2019-11-02T08:18:16+00:00

Musicians.

Lawyers.

Men who are "separated" from their wives.

Porn users.

Welp. That's all of them.

70zchild · 2019-11-02T09:30:07+00:00

Definitely the out if town Labourers /Truckers/Machine operators speaking from experience like said above they stay at hotels and usually eat at bars and it’s common to ‘cheat on their wives and girlfriend’s’ mine wasn’t the only one doing it either mine was just the only one that got caught , mine also would tell me what his buddies were doing and I was too dim at the time to see he was doing it too UGH

QueenOfSwords1313 · 2019-11-02T09:33:01+00:00

Becky-a-Go-Go · 2019-11-02T13:56:18+00:00

A lot of decent guys in IT. My current bf is a software engineer making $150k. He’s a good guy too.
