Professional Partners?
Both men and women like the prospect of dating a creative-type.
When looking for a potential partner, British women lead Europe in the importance they attach to a man’s profession, according to a new survey. 

One third of women like the idea of a partner whose career is well paid, while a quarter would value his profession’s prestige and status, yet it’s not bankers, policemen or even airline pilots that they find most attractive: in fact it’s creative types like writers and architects who hold the most appeal, followed by traditional professions like doctors and accountants.

In the context of a European survey of 5,000 single people, one third of British women (35%), liked the prospect of a man with creative flair, such as an artist, writer, musician or architect, while just 2% wanted to date a banker (compared to 18% two years ago). A further 28% of women preferred a doctor, 26% a lawyer, and one in five women (22%) opted for an accountant. Traditionally sexy professions such as airline pilots (9%), policemen (7%) and advertising executives (12%) failed to make much impact. Only 1% of women said their ideal partner would be a househusband.

British men also rate creative types, with nearly half (46%) claiming they’d love to date an artist. Doctors (31%) again hold considerable appeal, while nurses and teachers (28%) and scientists (27%) have the edge over lawyers (16%) and accountants (9%). 14% of men said they would still happily date a housewife.
