Reply: Hahahaha, great one! Added. :)
Contract killer is my favorite.
Reply: Glad you liked that one. :D I threw it in at last minute.
Phew, Cartographer is not listed :) “Girlfriend in every zip code” hehe :D
Reply: I once had a pilot friend who told me that stereotype in the industry himself, so I can’t claim credit for that (but I can say that it’s probably close to the truth for some of them, haha). Also, I’ve never heard of a Cartographer or had any experience with one, so… Not yet! :P
not all computer programmers are like that… especially when my computer is 10 years old
Reply: Of course not. :) Actually, in my experience, computer “geeks” seem to make the best companions, but if I had to pick a stereotype for them that is generally viewed as negative to all women, regardless of personal preferences, the one I listed would be it.
I think a more appropriate title should be “Why Chanel could be end up a cynical spinster due to her tendency to stereotype people based on their choice of profession”. :P
Reply: Bwhahaha. All in good fun, all in good fun. ;)
Politician: Big ego. Likes power/possibly controlling. Never keeps promises. Tends to quit in bad situations.
Journalist: Nosey. Can’t keep secrets. Loves to gossip. Never commits to a single relationship.
Reply: Hehehe, good ones! Added. :) … In my “research”, I actually came across something interesting – apparently there are women out there who wont date the three Ps – Politicians, Police, and Pilots. Now, if only someone could come up with a good one for police!
Bahaha. This is good.
Landscaper: Never totally clean. Bad back/shoulder that requires daily massage. Sees no issue with dancing on ladders with power tools.
Reply: Say, did Greg happen to dance on a ladder with one or more power tools? :D
So true though, especially about the “never totally clean” part. Added!
I married a computer engineer… so far so good. :)
Reply: Awww, that’s good! :)
How about a fitness trainer. They would sleep around with fit women.
Police: Big ego. Always on a power trip. Anxious to pull out the “piece”. Has a stick that gets longer when he whips it out.
Omigosh, this is a hilarious list! I’m gonna tweet this. =P
Reply: Hehehe, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great list. I hate to say it, but the description for lawyer appeals to me. I like arguing; healthy debates are always fun…
How about a Baker? Creative. Precise. I think that would be perfect. On second thought, maybe a little too prone to an early death-by-chocolate?
Lizzy said something similar, but…chef. You’d put on the pounds way too quickly.
Reply: Oooh, good one. Added. :)
I can just imagine all the great food you’d be eating for the rest of your life, though!
You could have just put “don’t marry, stay single, save yourself the hassle” – it would have put the same point across ;)
Reply: But where is the fun in that?! :D
hahaha, I love this!
Reply: Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Haha Man O Man this is hilarious. I can’t stop myself laughing * falls back the chair*
well my man is not interested in computer more than me :P
*lucky me*
Reply: I’m glad you found it funny. :) … And lucky you indeed!
LOL oh dear! Maybe you need another list of types of men who ARE suitable potential husbands! :D
Reply: You know, I tried that… but after staring at a blank screen for half an hour, I gave up. ;)
And I quote:
“Journalist: Nosey. Can’t keep secrets. Loves to gossip. Never commits to a single relationship.”
Whoa whoa whoa! I’m a journalist (well, graduating journalism major), and I don’t any of the above! I keep secrets (there’s a reason why they’re secrets), don’t gossip (not into much drama), and I’m very committed to a relationship (although, not in one at the moment).
I guess I’m that diamond in the rough. Haha! XD
This article made my day!
this is a most excellent list; how about: dance teacher? dentist? university professor? musician? high school principal? professional blogger? organic foods farmer? circus clown? TV talk show host? vampire hunter?
actually, organic foods farmer might make the cut
Got anything to say about chemists? Curious what kind of wit you might come up with :P
How do you decide what posts go in your “for amusement” slot in the sidebar?
This really made me laugh, Chanel! Your comment about pregnancy on Facebook sent me over here out of curiosity.
Why have I not read your blog recently? Your posts have gotten so entertaining! (or perhaps my sense of humor has changed. lol) You should get an internship in journalism.
Reply: Thank you! :) I have thought about that, but I don’t know… I don’t think I’d enjoy studying journalism in school because I generally hate English (hard to believe, considering that I love reading and writing). I have thought about doing freelance writing (editorials, magazine articles, that sort of thing) on the side though… but I think I have a ways to go yet. :)
Lucky for me, my pilot boyfriend isn’t cocky at all. And as far as I know he doesn’t have any other girlfriends, or I’d kick his ass until he came home with his tail curled up between his legs. lol
I find it hilarious how accurate many of these descriptions are! I could never date a fitness trainer, for all the half naked hot women they interact with daily. And although I find entrepreneurs and business owners highly attractive, the ones I’ve known are generally cocky and think they own the world. I have some close friends who are computer geeks, which can be alot of fun to hang out with. But often when I visit they sit there playing computer games while I watch.
Reply: Computer geeks and gamers are two different groups! You can’t get them mixed up. Although its true some are a bit of both, I’ve found that many *real* computer geeks aren’t really gamers (or they used to be). But like you, I’ve been in that position where you visit and all they do is play computer games for the first 30 minutes, hahaha.
What do you have to say on ‘Engineer’? I
well saying. i am agree with this.this professions have so responsible jobs. one who do this jobs he always prefer work rather then family.
Oh…So how many men do you get to have a relationship with? None? That’s what I thought. Not every single guy is going to cheat on you, you pretentious dolt.
I’m a: Musician and military man, soon to be police officer, and I’ve never shown or felt any feeling of ‘power tripping’. I’m not stupid, I’ve been with the same woman for ten years.
Your standards are so incredibly high because you don’t want to compromise. Why? Because you’re too fucking lazy!
HA! Good luck finding someone.
