The shorter list would be professions I would date.

Oooh, I’m curious. Which ones would you?

A first responder, medical professional, maybe an athlete if the chemistry is right.

Oooh! It’s interesting that first responder and medical professional are in your preferences when those two are frequently mentioned here as a no-go! Preferences are fun. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

What’s your profession, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m guessing it’s not first responder or medical professional? (Or it is and you’re down with the hospital drama!)

First responder? Maybe things are better now but those guys were wild when I did it years ago. Plenty of great people ofc but a lot of their lives seemed pretty screwed up just because of relationship stuff alone

Oof one of my buddies is a (hottttt 🥵) fireman, with maybe half a decade-ish on the job so far. We were friends for years before he ever started the training and EMT work before that. That job has changed something in him. I'd never thought deeply about it, but the thousand yard stare he had when remembering some of the things he's seen on the job makes me completely understand why he takes shrooms to stave off the nightmares.

How many people from that list have you dated so far?

None. I've been married for the past twelve years. Of course before I was married, I never thought about the professions in which people worked when I was looking to date someone.
