The most attractive careers according to Aussies
In what could be a saviour to your lack of dating, did you know your profession helps you with finding someone?
According to research from eharmony, knowing what a potential partner does for work influences attraction.
At the top of the list of the most attractive jobs is healthcare workers for both men and women, showing COVID-19 has made us feverish for partners who can take care of us.
For Australian women, doctors, tradies and firefighters are the top three most attractive professions.
For Aussie men, nurses, models and flight attendants are the top three most attractive professions.
So when it comes to a first date, unless spoken to prior, at least 59 per cent of Aussies ask the other party what they do for a living on a first date.
eharmony psychologist Sharon Draper said a person’s profession usually helps with associating their traits and what they would be like as a person.
“We commonly associate traits with certain careers; nurses are caring, lawyers are strong-willed and so forth,” she said.
“We then use these traits to make judgements about a potential partner and our compatibility with them.
“Not only does someone’s job tell you about their personality, but it also tells us about the compatibility of your lives together.
“We know some jobs keep people away from each other longer than others or require more hours working late at home, and this may or may not fit with our lifestyle and what we’re looking for in a relationship.
“Ultimately, it’s just another way to get to know a potential partner and learn more about them.
“One aspect of a person’s life doesn’t define them, but acts as a puzzle piece that may or may not fit our picture of our future lives.”
