People With These Jobs Are the Most Attractive, Says Study

When it comes to dating, you're almost certain to be judged on more than just your looks. Although your appearance plays an important role in a potential love connection, you might be surprised how much your profession matters as well.

At least that's the takeaway according to a recent study conducted by the matchmakers at EliteSingles, an exclusive dating site catering to educated and dedicated singles. More than 100,000 users who received at least one message were surveyed, and the results may certainly surprise you.

So what jobs, exactly, are the most attractive to the opposite sex? Perhaps a soldier, a brawny-yet-sensitive Rambo type who protects his flag and his family? How about a rock star or a famous musician? Or even a pro athlete, chiseled physique and team uniform drawing all eyes toward him?

As it turns out, women really dig men who have a way with words and rhetoric, preferring lawyers by a substantial margin. Whether this attraction comes down to the fact that being beaten in an argument is a big turn-on or whether lawyers generally place in the upper end of earning potential remains unclear.

Nonetheless, male lawyers received a whopping 135 percent more messages than the average man on this particular dating platform – more than twice as many – which is a big plus for guys with a law gig.

Coming in at a respectable but distant second place are doctors – so yes, being a famous doctor or lawyer, just like your mother always said, is definitely a dating advantage. Male physicians were inundated with a flood of messages, generally getting 82 percent more interest than the average man on the site. Whether the role is kissing a booboo better or providing some nurturing bedside manner, it looks like women definitely show a strong preference for them in terms of potential partnership.

Being a self-made businessman (obvious Donald Trump quips aside) is also highly attractive to high-powered women. Those dating profiles belonging to guys who labeled themselves as entrepreneurs received a substantial increase in attention from the opposite sex, seeing an uptick of 46 percent the number of messages. However, men who described their profession as business owner (essentially the same thing) received only a modest increase of 19 percent over the average.

The lesson, guys? If you're a business owner, it's better to describe yourself as a cutting-edge “entrepreneur” rather than going with the more basic, down-to-earth terminology. Just makes you sound cooler, and apparently look more attractive, to women.

Keep in mind, however, that because men so often make the first move, the survey numbers could be a bit skewed toward female respondents. In fact, 75,000 women and 25,000 men were included in the pool of overall candidates and there was only one major difference between the preferences shown by either gender.

While lawyers, doctors, and entrepreneurs appeared prominently on both lists, male engineers only received a statistically insignificant boost over the average man, generating only 1 percent more interest. However, female engineers were extremely attractive to their male counterparts; women who listed engineer as their profession on EliteSingles saw an incredible 66 percent increase in messages from men.

The bottom line? If you're a gearhead who happens to be a guy, it may be time to take up a second career stream to list front-and-center in your online dating profile. Or maybe consider law school?
