People Reveal 32 Professions That Would Be Dealbreakers In A Potential Partner
In a way, choosing a partner is like picking a new TV show—usually, you have to invest at least a few evenings to make sure it's worth the binge. But sometimes, you can tell from the tagline alone that it's not for you.
To explore the topic further, Reddit user Stupidis_Stupidoes invited everyone on the platform to list the professions that would keep them from dating someone.
Whether it's due to differences in values or incompatible lifestyles, continue scrolling to check out the listed careers, and don't miss the chat we had on relationships with Dr. Holly Schiff—you will find it between the submissions.

I hate saying it but police officers. 90% are attracted to the job for power reasons and I tend to not like their personalities. .
#6
Any job requiring high pressure sales. Those jobs attract a certain type of person I don’t like.
#8
As someone who’s bartended for ages, bartenders are very hard to date. Getting off work as late as 4 a.m., the culture, it’s hard to find someone outside the industry who can put up with it, and equally hard to find someone within who you can be healthy with.
#10
Military. I graduated high school 2003 and saw tons of my friends deployed and friend’s significant others be deployed and couldn’t imagine the stress. Also not having control over your life and where you live.
#12
"Influncer"
"OnlyFans content creator"
"Social media manager/creator/liaison"
"Reddit/Discord moderator"
"Sugar baby".
#13
Self-help/motivational guru probably or any other charlatan/snake oil type of profession because it means we will have many conflicts and incompatibilities over science.
#14
A lawyer. I was raised by two of them. I've worked with and known several in my extended social circle.
Every single one I've met has never been able to turn it off and I'd prefer not to be examined and cross-examined on a date.
#15
No matter the profession, someone who's job would require to travel a lot, like far abroad and for longer periods, would definitely not be my preference and probably a show stopper.
#16
Any job that:
1. required them to be away for months at a time or extensive travel
2. Any job that had really unstable income month-to-month.
my g/f's job right now is perfect: she works 4 days a week, 10 hours a day, always the same start/stop time, every friday/sat/sun is off. It makes planning stuff super easy.
#17
School teacher. It’s just changed too much and they carry such a heavy burden all the time. I’m not sure when the switch happened from Teachers/Parents as a partnership to Teachers VS Parents, but that is in the top 5 of worst things ever. My mom saw it coming and I’m glad both of my parents got out of teaching with their mental health, physical health, and reputations intact.
Teachers today seem like they are in a no win situation.
#18
Dangerous professions or professions that keep them away from the home for awhile (military, firefighter, cop, etc).
#19
Physician. I dated a surgeon for 3 years in my 20s. Terrible hours, so much drama, so much ego. Nurses throwing themselves at him every day. I later went to nursing school myself and have never, ever been tempted to date a doctor.
