I'm not sure how you masculine traits would suddenly disappear becuase you happened to be a nurse over a construction worker.

Your masculinity is what it is.

Very true, the masculinity characteristics remain.

My question, for guys who work in female dominated fields (such as, nursing, social services, teaching), any tips on how to be more attractive to females. Typically, these fields excluding nursing do not pay as well as the above careers, and may view the guy as less masculine compared to if he worked in a career such as, construction.

Thanks.
I think you're overthinking it here a bit.

This is what i've heard. But, the responses from others in this thread have disproved that.

Most women that are mature reasonable and fair minded wouldn't have any real problem with a guy in a female dominated role. If she does than it's probably a person that you don't wanna deal with anyway.

Nurses and teachers, man or woman, are good decent and noble roles to be in. Nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed by.

Male nurses, teachers and/or social workers are not that uncommon, I can't believe that women are going to hold that against you.

Some do, but I definitely understand that some won't.

Was there an alternative version with a teacher, a nurse, a CPA, a receptionist and a chef?

I like this version ...



OP, honestly, the way to be "more attractive" when talking to someone about a profession that is less typically "male" is to be confident about it.
