7 Sexiest Jobs For a Woman (What Do You Do For a Living?)

Posted by NWSO • July 29, 2011 • Printer-friendly

What do you do for a living? It's a fairly common question that comes up in dating and regular conversation. The answer can vary considerably from blue-collar to white-collar, but people's reaction can change depending on the response.

The simple fact is that some jobs are sexy and others are, well, not. For example, if a woman sees a Will Smith lookalike on the street and he says that he's a doctor, the attraction level she had for him based on looks alone probably increased due to the revelation of this high paying and respected profession. However, if this same man specified that he was a garbage man he might lose a few cool points.

Right or wrong?

Images of refuse stained clothes and horrendous daily odors would flood the average woman's mind, regardless of whether he pulled six figures or not. The end result more than likely would wind up with her saying, "He's attractive but..." (Y’all remember that blog post, right?).

The fact of the matter is occupation can have an impact on attraction for most some. people Yes, it may be shallow but we're all guilty of making assumptions about finances, personality and lifestyle compatibility based on what a person does (or in some cases doesn't do) for a living. I remember meeting this girl in the club one time that told me she was a mortician. I thought she was joking at first, but she wasn't. The idea of dating someone that cut open bodies and poured embalming fluid in them for a living wasn't my idea of a good time. Even if I could get over it, I doubt I'd be picking her up from work anytime soon. Besides can you imagine the conversations:

Me: "How was work today, honey?"

Her: "It was cool, I autopsied three bodies today, including a 5-year-old boy, oh, and had to sew this one guy's arm back on. You know, you're average day."

#BlankStare

This all got me to thinking about the sexiest-sounding jobs for women. Sorry, I'm a man so I can only guess at what are the sexiest jobs women see for men (doctor, lawyer, etc.) so I'll let the ladies handle that in the comments. But here are my personal picks for the seven sexiest jobs for women. No, a French maid didn't make the list.

7) BALLERINA

Pro: Maybe it's the tutu, which plays into the schoolgirl fantasy a lot of guys have. Or, maybe it’s the tights/spandex, ’cause y'all know how I feel about some spandex. But truthfully what it is is the flexibility. Men always daydream about bending a girl in all sorts of angles; and who better than a ballerina to do that with? Plus, she's a dancer so the body has to be crazy, right?

Con: The only problem is ballerinas are notorious for having jacked up feet. All those pliés (how to plié video) and pirouettes (how to pirouette video) lead to hammer toes and bunions, if not worse. So any guy with a foot fetish would probably balk.

You know NWSO, you really are so tactful to these ppl. If she/he doesn't like the posts, then hell, stop reading them. I mean if you have an opinion so negative at least be able to back it up with some something other than 'getting worse and worse'. Criticism is one thing, but this....

Anonymous

LOL you always so fiesty.

I'm of the school of thought that yes men are pointless in that they don't make you any better. Even though we bump heads it's good to get a chin check every once in a while.
At any rate, y'all do me the favor of reading what I write and some even comment Good or bad it's all appreciated and pushes the conversation forward (well, most times). I know I've switched things up recently and trying different things in terms of topics and formats so definitely interested in what y'all think. Just makes for good customer service. In this particular case more specifics would def help in processing the critique. All I can do is take everything with a grain of salt and adjust as I see fit if at all.

I am too fiesty at times, I know. But that first comment was pure negativity. The others, Robert & Anaya, were constructive criticism and I can see both their points. I should just hush my comment mouth anyway, because no one was even speaking to me....When I first started reading the blog it was a series of highly thought-provoking topics and then you dropped this post about dark women and big booties and I was....apppalled, lolol!! But Quoteman (where is he?) put me right in my place. You just cannot write 'deep' blogs all the time. Sometimes you have to write about lighter things, like this...so Fridays can be..Frivolous Fridays..huh??? See how I just came up with that????I wear scrubs to work ~1/4 of the time- the most unsexiest gear ever in my opinion. This is likely b/c my scrubs are 2 sizes too big, I don't wear make-up, and I don't feel 'sexy' in them. But I never feel sexy at work, I mean do women really feel sexy at work? I come to work to do work, not to be cute/flirty/sexy. Hmmm, come to think of it, this is exactly why I was never able to snag another doctor and the nurses seem to have no problem doing so, lolol!! Some nurses do their thing in the scrubs though, but I certainly don't.

NWSO

It's actually Summer Fridays for most so I've been keeping it light-hearted. I did the #FlashBackFriday week before last with the cereal post. Far from deep I admit, but come on, cereal is highly relatable and that's what i try to do. the conversations we all have with ourselves and friends but rarely speak out in the open. So sexiest jobs for women it is. LOL

Is it Friday yet?

its coz this is more of a girls i'd love to f*&ck thing , I mean where is all the intelligence that the blog had before?

Anonymous

Personally, I feel it's there (i.e. being transgender, how vain are you, racism within Latino community). Granted those post were all last week, but I guess it also depends on what you define/view as "intelligent."

I've always presented a mixed bag. The "women I'd like to..." posts have always been here, just as the introspective and the lighthearted. I cranked out 8 pieces this week in an effort to try new things and provide more variety. Sometimes less is more, others times more options covers all your bases.

Either way, I'm all about the conversations and discussions, so if this post led to this side-convo I'm happy. It's good to get honest feedback and criticism, I ask often but don't always get it. Keep it coming.

I have to agree with the first comment. The posts are becoming, well, boring. I have always read your blog for a sort of fresh take on different topics but it's just become unoriginal, forced, and not really insightful. I just sort of skipped through this one. I'll still be checking out new posts though!

-a longtime reader droppin' my two cents in.

**Never seen your screen name in these parts before (I read all the comments three years and running) so welcome out the dark corners. LOL

Here's the thing that would help me better in all this: I'm a person that likes & needs specifics. Let me know what posts in particular you (or anyone else) felt was "boring, unoriginal, forced and not really insightful." Without that I'm left to guess, you know. I wrote it or edited so I must have thought it was good (or at the very least interesting LOL) so otherwise I'm left to wonder which of the 942 posts was "subpar."

My plan is to diversify the site and do more than one a day (I did 8 this week) with more it's not to churn out more of the same, but try different things, formats and topics. I'm still organizing #TeamNWSO to help me accomplish all that but until we get the system down it's still a lot to manage.

With that here's a question(s) for the board:

Do y'all like the idea of more varied posts or just one anchor post a day?
In the event that you don't like the post of the day, would you prefer having another option?
Do you only want serious topics from the site or have always appreciated that it was a mixed bag?

Speak your piece...

I appreciate your honesty in advance

Anayo Awuzie

I apologize if my post came off as negative (to you and the other posters seem to think so), didn't mean to rattle any cages just wanted to share a thought which is what readers do on every post. You have had awesome posts from beginning to finish (probably have been reading for about a year now) and I do love them. I appreciate variety in topics, I just felt that the way posts have been written the past 2 weeks or so have been off. For specifics, posts like this one, the tomboy one, j-lo keeping a man, making love one last time, you're attractive but..., dating someone who used to be gay, there are a couple more but those are ones that I didn't really fall into and I felt were different from your usual caliber of writing.

I know this blog is your baby lol and people who post so-called negative (or what I would call "the other side of the coin") comments is like someone just called your child out of his/her name but yes, the blog is not always up to the standards of what you can write. And that's me being an asshole *kanye shrug*.

Keep doin' what you do. I think it's dope that you're coming out with more content (I could never do that, I come up with a blog topic like biweekly and that's if I'm SERIOUSLY inspired). And I'll try and come out of my dark corners more often (of course to offer praise as well as general feedback)!

No worries Anayo. Like I said earlier, yes men/women don't make anyone better so even with a slight sting the convo helped me get real feedback on site, which I always want. So don't feel like you can't speak your piece that's what I ask for each and every day.

Now that you mention specific posts I can better see where you're coming from. I did 8 posts last week, as opposed to my normal 4-5. With the redesign, I'm able to do more. There have been plenty of things I've found interesting over the past 3 years (i.e. Da Brat pics) but really couldn't post because it definitely wouldn't work as the post of the day, because it's interesting (to me) but not strong enough to hold it down for a day. So think of Da Brat post as the appetizer or dessert to what was the post of that day, Does Cheating Make You Stronger or Weaker? That's the post that was the true meat and potatoes, while Brat was just a bonus. That's the variety I'm going to continue to offer, some won't be for all and more niche but still something relevant to someone on the board.

if you follow me on Twitter (or watch the feed on the left), you'll see I'm more diverse than what the restrictions of the blog (one a day) held me to, now I can show more of me—for better or worse.

It's all a growing process, and trying new things. Some might work, some might now, but gotta try. Hopefully, you'll stick around and latch on to the posts you like and occasionally find something for you in the appetizers/dessert posts as well

I liked this post. I thought it was fun.
I do think a person's job can make them sexier. Here are the ones that I think are sexy for a guy: construction worker (manual labor is a turn on), mechanic (looks like you might be good with your hands there mister), lawyer (a good talker), accountant (my husband is one), judge (authority or power?), football player (big and meaty), soldier (the uniform and hero thing), fireman (the hero thing and can probably cook some good chili), chef (not really sure why).

In my town, I could date a garbage man. They have these new trucks now that picks up each individual can and dumps it inside. They never have to touch the stuff. A mortician though? Probably not.

I don't have a job. I'm a stay at home mom right now. Hell naw that ain't sexy.

I actually liked this post considering Im a Dancer, former Gymnast and Cheerleader i just felt you missed a few options what about those women who are lawyers (for the men who love authority in the bedroom) or teachers (every little boy had that one fine teacher at some point) or even a masseuse (what man doesnt love a good massage from their women)

I liked this post. Surprised "teacher" wasn't on the list b/c I know a lot of men that dig teachers. Some say it's our (yes, this is what I am) perceived innocence and they get a kick out of seeing a COMPLETELY different side of us outside of the classroom (read in the bedroom)

I used to be a cheerleader and though I've lost a bit of my flexibility I've still got most of it

I've recently learned that I have a thing for ties so any job where he has a tie on would get some points in my book

I've never really cared what a man did for a living as long as he was taking care of himself and it kept him out of jail. the fact that you have a job period is a good look, it doesn't matter to me what it is exactly. However, I COULDN'T date someone in what I call the "dangerous" professions (cops, firemen, etc) b/c I'd worry too much

Teacher seemed too obvious (I do have a perfect sexy pic on stash though) but maybe it's because I dated a teacher that left a strange taste in my mouth that I omitted that career. LOL

I agree, although the sexy teachers I met were mostly women. There needs to be more sexy men teaching. Perhaps that's a good thing because I am a teacher and having too many sexy men around may be detrimental to my job performance.

Well I like the mix of posts here on NWSO. I may like this one in particular b/c pole dancing is a hobby of mine and i admire the strength+grace of ballerinas (shouldn't have given that up at 5).

But jobs/careers/serious hobbies can definitely be turn-ons. I'm intrigued by men who use their hands to build/create (i.e., like in carpentry or sculpting). I can't think of any jobs that would be a turn off for myself...maybe a cop

Man, WOW, are you serious?! That’s all I could think when I read some of the feedback/negative comments. I mean after all wasn’t the question about sexy jobs? In any case NWSO seems to be handling quite well…head on and in a respectful way.
Why does everything have to be one way or another? That’s like saying an intelligent person can’t be funny or a funny person can’t be intelligent. We’re not all one thing, depending on the topic or situation we all have an opinion and like everything else its our choice if we like to discuss it. I mean since when on this site does everything need to be this way or that? Isn’t that the point of this site, the difference topics, discussions, and opinions?
Just because some of us are uncomfortable w/change doesn’t mean we need to make others uncomfortable for attempting it. Change means growth regardless of the outcome. At the very least if it can’t be constructive criticism then it can just as easily be said by clicking to another site that DOESN’T change and you always know what to expect. Here’s to growth NWSO even when some may not be to happy w/it.

But you know that practically no female CEo wears High Heels and pencil skirts to work right?Because if they were doing that they wouldn t be taken seriously.Lots of female CEOs even cut their hair so they don t appear too femininde.
Leave the Heels and pencil skirts to the assistants.We know most of th stuff the CEO does;)

What about a female spy?I thought guys would find that sexy too.

I thought Cheerleaders were too obvious (in comparison to teachers).

The exotic dancer definitely has its pros, but there are sooooo many cons. I've seen them firsthand after dating a stripper (she became one after I started dating her). Strippers often either have low self-esteem, were abused in some way, or are desperate for attention - the baggage can be a lot, so she's got to *really* be worth it. Plus, a lot of strippers segue into prostitution because of the easy money and the objectification they already subject themselves to. Not to mention the safety - strippers are more likely to get raped.

Great list though, Ans. Do your thing.
6inchwalker

As an exotic dancer myself, I get sick and tired of society perpetuating the stereotype of "strippers" being "unwife-able"

It is not my profession, it is simply my job for the time being.

As long as I have danced, I have maintained a successful relationship with my significant other. Which is 2 years.

Women from all walks of life have danced. Stop drilling that lie into people's heads!

If a woman is a hoe, she is a hoe! A cop, a ballerina, a lawyer!

What about an all around woman? One who's a dancer, a well known poet, an actor, a singer, smart and in college to be a doctor? How sexy is she?

Ummm... so you wouldn't marry a stripper? Strippers are women too. Being a stripper doesn't make you 'easy'.

I'm a white European girl and I usually love reading NWSO, because it shows me a totally different viewpoint from what I see every day. But I find your 7 sexiest jobs for women kind of degrading. I mean, apart from the CEO and the policewoman, all the jobs you picked tend (to some extent) to objectify us. And if they don't, your idea of women with those jobs does. I'm kind of disappointed...

Anonymous

You forgot nurse being among the positive jobs alongside CEO and cop. Still, think ballerina and gymnasts are professions that take quite a bit of skills and talent. Some could say the same about strippers but I agree in that being the "job" that objectifies women.

Sorry you took offense at what I find sexy from a career stand point, hopefully my fetishes won't be held against me in the distant future.

End of the day I'm sure we all realize a woman (or man) can be sexy beyond what they do for a living, sexy is just sexy regardless of occupation...
