5 Jobs that make you less attractive to women
Words: Holly
Women are judgmental. Fact. We judge you on your hair, your footwear, the way you speak, act and well pretty much everything in between. We also have an incredible ability to judge men on what they do as a job – yes it’s unfair, yes it’s narrow minded of us and there’s no denying that it’s fickle as hell. For this, I apologise. But after the success of the article we did a while ago on Jobs That Increase Your Sex Appeal we thought it only fair to spin it around and tell you the 5 jobs that make you less attractive to women…
WORKING FOR YOUR FATHER/FATHER’S COMPANY
We appreciate that some people deserve positions in family companies or places where their father might be the CEO, for example, but the second that most women hear you work for your father they’ll assume you’re unambitious and only got the job through nepotism. What is attractive is ambition and drive and working for your position, so if you’ve got all that then you’re set.
POLITICIAN
Whilst there may be some women out there with First Lady/House Of Cards-esq ambitions, most women will tell you that Politics just ain’t sexy. Ok so maybe JFK was, but behind the wayfarer sunglasses and Sunspel T-Shirts he was just another good looking guy with a wondering eye and warped morals. Then you’ve got your Gordon Browns and Ed Millibands of this world and well, need we say more.
MALE MODEL
Believe it or not, most women will tell you that despite what you might think to the contrary, dating a male model isn’t top of many women’s priorities. Whilst it may be a screaming stereotype, most women over the age of 21 see male models as vain, vacuous and self-obsessed, not to mention lacking in the brains department. If you’re not spending hours in the bathroom primping and preening yourself then we’ll be freaking out about all the female models you’re drooling over during that swimsuit campaign.
ACCOUNTANT
Sorry guys, we know that doing your ACA is a great way into high powered business and yes, most of the leaders in finance had a spell in accountancy too, but unfortunately until you reach that point elsewhere, you’re simply not going to be the hottest guy at the party.
HAIRDRESSER
Aside from the fact that most women’s hairdressers are gay, even if you are hetrosexual, the idea of you touching other women’s hair all day, chatting to them about their inner most secrets and telling them “what great body you have” – it’s going to cause some jealously and unfortunately few women will see this as a particularly attractive job, although we will enjoy the free highlights and blow dries.
AND ONE LAST THING… NO JOB AT ALL
The least attractive of all men’s jobs – no job at all. Oh, you’re a creative soul are you? Working on your own things? Still finding your own direction? We’ve heard it all before, truth is – You. Don’t. Have. A. Job. Please stop kidding yourself that you’re working on other projects and not just living off the bank of Mum & Dad. Women love being around men who have their own life, ambitions and goals. It doesn’t matter if you don’t need to work, lack of ambition is about as big as a turn off as you can get.
