I personally don't really care for Teachers and Lawyers.
Anyone else have negative feelings toward dating partners of certain professions?
Why knock the OP. This person is honest.
Teachers - I used to think more highly of them, but that has declined. In looking at FB, a lot of the girls from my HS who went into lower-grade teaching were lackluster in brains, reasonably popular, conformist types. You know instantly when a bunch of grade school teachers is sitting next to you in a coffeehouse - the minute they sit down. After being around little kids ALL the type, their behavior outside also says "grade school teacher." I know a guy who was bouncing around after a marketing degree who then did the teacher credential route in CA and couldn't believe how catty and b itchy his fellow female co-workers were toward each other. The college professors are the worst, though. Essentially, they are snobby bureaucrats. Much of the thesis/dissertation work that is pushed out is essentially make-work that they preside over.
Lawyers - they are definitely articulate, confident, and interesting to talk to. I cannot say that I like what law school has done to some of my friends, in that it teaches one's mind to bend in ways that it previously did not.
High level health professionals - in college, one notices that all the pre-health people (med, dent, pharm) disappear and form their own clique. Once college is over, these people fall off the face of the earth if you are not in a field that is allied to theirs. If any profession really only likes to hang out among its own, it's this one.
A lot of them have quirks, but not as noticeable as these professions do.
Women tend to be much more discriminate about who they date in regards to profession then the reverse. Women want a man to make a certain amount of money in a certain profession, or be aspiring to a degree and if he can't fulfill those requirements. She immediately deems him as worthless and as a piece of chit
Odd how so many blue collar, low wage earning men are happily married.

Many blue collar people are "what you see is what you get." There's not much pretense there, so I doubt they are overly complicated in their relationships.
Personally if you ever worked for the government. I wouldn't consider you. I find most government employees to be the epitome of what is wrong with this country.
I find your typical software engineer isn't quite social enough for me. But the ones who decided to be managers (and enjoy people management) or went back to school for an MBA tend to be the right fit.
Don't like investment banker lifers. It is one thing to do it and cash out. It is a completely different personality type to be a career IB person.
