Who are we going to call when someone breaks into our house? Can't call the police because I don't wan't to share our bedroom with him. Are you for real ? We choose not to share our sexual adventures with police because of a bad experience not because we don't respect his job. As far as military go it's the same and whats more most of the military guys that tend to contact us are young (as young as me) and generally immature of which i'm not interested in again we respect the job they do and have many friends in the forces but if they don't f***ing interest me then why would I bother.

Quoting 'Looking4funinwa' Having worn the uniform for over 20 years it never ceased to amaze me. the people who where such vocal detractors where the first to say. I'm so glad your here. When they needed us that is. anyway sort of getting off topic I guess. Anyway still kept my tools of the trade if you get my drift? by all means bring your tools

Quoting 'Koolblue' Quoting 'Meeka100'Chefs go to the top of the list!Actually I think I need to marry a chef because my cooking skills suck. Yeeess..well the spate of cooking shows these days hasn't hurt the image of the often underpaid chef slaving away over those hot pans one bit. Glamourised it if anything. I can't complain, it is a useful skill to whip out for parties,special events and more private occasions. Its never failed to impress. It really is all about our personal experiences (combined with what we've been taught). I've known two male chefs closely, both of whom had no interest in cooking anything after slaving away in a kitchen for others all day. They both stated they had no interest in bringing their work home and would prefer making Vegemite toast. They also both said that the use of stimulants (coke, speed) is high amongst chefs, due to the stress of the job and often late hours. One of the two spoke from personal experience.{Not singling out chefs: nurses, doctors, truckies and lawyers are also often referred to as taking more illicit drugs than other professions.) There are so many stereotypes when it comes to certain jobs and I guess those stereotypes came from somewhere. I think this thread clearly proved though that a job doesn't define someone. However like I said earlier: When I think the actions someone's job involves (like animal testing) go against everything I believe in, I will run a mile. Any paramedics here?

Quoting 'Warning69' It's sad but true most do judge (we'll I find ) based on job or even clothing choice ?? Any anthropologist will tell you that, its survival instinct in all of us. We scan and we judge its that simple. We make assumption based on a range of things, our family history, our jobs, our gender our race you name it we slot things into our brain and make decisions about other people. the fashion you talk of is just human feathers we are no different than all the other animals even jobs, it can mean eating or not eating or having shelter or not. Nothing sad about it at all, we come with baggage that filters our perceptions.

Quoting 'SimpleNeeds2' Mooka, please note that I do not say this against you or the other persons who have posted here on a personal level. I have tremendous respect for you and I in no way suggest that you have acted other than in an honourable manner in your service. I also apologise as this seems to be moving in a tangent from the original OP. However, a report was prepared into the culture of the armed services 3 years ago. That report found systemic problems in the attitude of certain members of the armed services towards civilians in general, and women in particular (both serving and civilian) which extended through all ranks and which had been endemic for decades. There was a pervasive attitude of sexism, and a sense of entitlement which culminated in a culture which belittled women in particular but also included wider bullying, and has been the subject of further investigations. I accept that not all servicemen are like this. However, it is such a pervasive problem that it has tainted the reputation of servicemen in the wider community and makes women wary until they get to know the serviceman better.

SimpleNeeds - I will defend the Military infrastructure, whilst at the same time admitting there are problems. Yes, there have been, and will be problems of sexual misconduct within the military. Given the hierarchical structure of the military where often absolute power can corrupt absolutely and total obedience is expected, people will abuse their positions for either power, greed or even sex. But consider the make up of the military, average age within the 48,000 uniformed members is around 25 yo. Often they are away from home for the first time in their lives, and when out, tend to stick together where peer pressure can lead to disastrous errors of judgement. I am not offering excuses, just stating facts here. The members of the ADF are also under the microscope in the public perception. If a digger, a sailor or an airman screws up, the press report it as "a member of the Army/Navy/Air Force was today charged for .....". Now if an accountant did exactly the same thing, the press would report "Mr Sleazebag from Sydney was today .....". Probably the only other occupation that is under the same scrutiny in regards of sexual crimes are in education. But also consider this: one incident of sexual misconduct can (and often will) lead to dismissal from the ADF. Now if an office manager in civilian street was caught with his secretary, it would be highly unlikely neither would be fired and if they were, then they would probably be successful in an unlawful termination suit against their former employer. That option doesn't exist in the military as they operate under their own set of laws (Defence Force Disciple Act) which really has no counter. In fact, given the current political climate, if an accusation is made against a defence member he or she is basically guilty until proven innocent. If they have staff, someone else comes and assumes the leadership role. If they are instructors, they are taken off course. If the accuser is in the same section, the member will be moved to another section. It is the accusers word against the defence member and the tribunal will often err on the side of caution. It is called the "60 minutes syndrome". Look I will freely admit there is a problem within the military and can vouch that the head shed in Canberra has made it quite clear to all uniformed members and those public servants who work in defence that it is totally unacceptable and harsh penalties will be enforced every time. But to condemn an entire workforce for the actions of a very small minority is not only unfair but pretty stupid and small minded. Should everyone in banking be assumed to be incompetent crooks due to the few bad financial advisers in the CBA? Should all self-employed tradesmen be labelled as fraudsters due to a couple of shonky tradies that appear on ACA? Okay I have ranted enough, unfortunately most will never change their personal paradigms no matter what counter argument is put forward. Mooka (ex member of the ADF and damn proud of that fact)

As a female who spent over 13 years serving in the Defence Force I am struggling to think of any time I felt bullied or belittled because of my sex. I must have been very lucky. And the guys in the military are just like everyone else. Mostly great guys and just a few arseholes. But you get that in any and every occupation. I have very fond memories of a lot of the people I met. We all worked hard and we all played hard.

Mooka, I agree wholeheartedly with your comments regarding the infrastructure to prevent misconduct and that the misconduct is carried out by a minority of the armed forces. However, as I said the report identified a systemic and cultural problem - that is, the unwritten rules were overriding the formal legal structure. Whilst the armed forces has taken steps to try to rectify the situation, the problem is ingrained so it is very hard to get real traction in getting the message through. It is also a false analogy to say this would not happen to a person in another profession or civilian life. Firstly, the armed forces are a single organisational entity, whereas civilians belong to their separate businesses. No other organisation can match the armed forces for size in numbers outside of the various public services. Therefore a scandal involving a civilian has only a limited identification with the person's business whereas misconduct by a serviceman will taint the wider service. It is also factually incorrect to say that misconduct in civilian life goes unpunished. I am uncertain on what basis you make that assertion but the recent case law on workplace harassment and bullying speaks against your proposition. Again I do not say this against you personally. And I do not say that the majority of the armed forces act inappropriately. However, the question was whether a profession had a prima facie stigma which the armed forces does have at this time because of this chronic behaviour. The issue then becomes whether people go beyond the stigma to see what the service person is in fact like as an individual, and whether that service person presents themselves in a manner to disprove the assumptions made. I will not say anything further on the point as it is not really the purpose of this thread but it is neither stupid nor small minded to be concerned about a problem which is endemic and out of step with modern society. The sooner that all members of the armed forces take ownership of the problem, and not just the senior ranks, the sooner the problem can be rectified.

I have been in uniform most of my life, and most of it military. some women become automatic snobs for some reason without even trying to get to know me, others don't want to know my name, just rip my clothes off. Not sure whether that is a good or bad thing.

The fact that this lifestyle lets you interact with and meet people from all walks of life. It's part of what makes it interesting. No matter what someone's job is they are still an individual, preferably a unique one not a stereotype so there's no room for snobbery for us.

Any person whom is so judgmental to use a persons job to decide if they will , or will not , go out or have sex with someone is Not a person I would be interested in at all. Unless we are talking about a Liberal / National / PUP party members/ workers/ supporters / politician s .... but then again they are a totally different life form as far as I am concerned lol.

I am more than happy to discuss with people my job, but I cannot however discuss the details of it. Yes I am in the army and have been for the past few years, I love it it's a big part of my life and it's a very stable career- however when it comes up in conversation either on here or elsewhere I get the cold shoulder and avoided like the plague...I don't understand. Ok it's not fifo work, I go when and where I am needed. I train hard and get to be home every night I'm not deployed, yet it seems it's not working in my favour in the relationship world. - Posted from rhpmobile

Maybe it's not the army so much as that most ppl have a good understanding of the commitment a career serviceman has to his corps whichever it may be. Army, Navy Air. I would be shy of a relationship as I would want to come first and that would not be the case - not due to feelings but to commitment to the force. Itcan be a tough life for a partner @ least that would be the perception I would think. x ps thank you - Posted from rhpmobile

As I have been a professional firefighter in Perth for almost 2 decades I find the current generation and some of the older ones look down their nose when I tell them my occupation. Please people of this ilk ..... I and many others certainly don't do this for the meager pay, hero worship or because we're full of ourselves, we do this to genuinely help people in times of great need. All service personnel have to be people of a selfless nature to some degree considering the possible ultimate consequences of our occupations with little reward or remuneration. Remember this .... When the general population are running away from disaster, trauma and tragedy, your service personnel are running towards it. Therefore all I ask is .... a little more respect for them.

Not too phased about what someone does for a living provided that it's legal and makes them happy. Job snobs get on my nerves. I work in administration which causes some people to judge, however I used to be a school teacher. I have a brain and could definitely do more academic work, but I love my job (and took quite a paycut from teaching to change jobs) and wouldn't have it any other way. I also do skimpy bartending which is even worse for people judging. As long as it makes me happy, that's all that matters to me. If someone judges me based on what I do for a crust, they're not the kind of person that I want to be around anyway. Jess xx

I work as i enjoy it and its does not run my life as such, its fairly forgiving for a family/relationship situation. But a mentioned in other comments its not for everyone and i respect that.

But to all those people who never judge, kudos to you, but why is it then that this is one of the first things people ask each other? It is obviously important. I am honest I am a bit of a job snob............... but I just realised that I never actually ask anyone what they do. Because it doesn't really interest me, and I absolutely hate talking about what I do and my job. So I suppose I am not really sure if I can call myself a job snob when I never even ask people what they do.

What one does or did, is of no consequence... (But legality is ,as beauty, in the eye of the ... person hearing the account... account,,, LOL). (I've been offline for a couple of days), but have read the posts... I had a profession some years ago that that was considered by (younger people), then as 'cool'. But of course, I had to grow up and decide I wasn't 25 anymore and pursued other professions that were sufficient but I had no joy. I have always stayed 'in touch' with my previous profession, in a fashion, throughout my later years. Consequently, I've found work in that profession, in a different medium, but only because I was bloody good. That's not so 'cool' as the original, but it pays VERY well. It's only casual and I enjoy it immensely. I had another 'profession' that would definitely not be well looked upon, but it paid extremely well, to the point where I have still (37 years later) have funds therefrom. If I told anyone I would leave myself vulnerable... Suffice to say... I say no more, other than I believed in what I did and still do and history has proven me to be well justified and on the side of good... whatever that may be. Unfortunately there is no SOL in this country. In conclusion... Non-one has the right to judge the decisions one makes in their own situation and their own TIME (that is the time in which we find ourselves)... Stick to what you know and are familiar with, or you may find people getting upset, as they have been in this thread..

Quoting 'inthekiss' Quoting 'inspirit' ..everyone has some form of judgement (though I think this is too strong a word here) so perhaps opinion is of a better word in one way or another. In all respect - I am sure most have had an opinion on some occupations. Like the Car Salesman, the Check out Chick, the Receptionist, the Lawyer, the guy in the Forces, the FIFO guy, the Garbo, the Teacher and of course the oldest profession in the world the HOOKER......the list is endless and unfortunately we do judge and sometimes from social conditioning. It is my choice if I choose not to meet some one that I have precondition thoughts about them due to their profession. It is not up too you to judge me for this though. TW - I prefer Blue collar workers who have a great mind. smart cookie that you are HI ITK & Co, True the 'Hooker' is the 'oldest' profession. The second oldest and more numerous is the Mercenary (TRY GOOGLE)... IMO, the one who founded the market, is the one with the money and the NEED... for which the 'Hooker' found an opportunity... Then, the legitimate soldier and then, anyone... (with a need and money)...It's kind of debatable... But I defer, by definition and description.. And, of course, business sense...!! ... You do have the advantage.. LOL... Great Point...

I am calling myself a job snob because I base certain assumptions about people about their jobs that has nothing to do about money. It is more about intelligence for me, which is not really linked to a person's job anyway but I suppose I will make assumptions about people based on stereotypes........ until I get to know them better. I want someone who is my intellectual equal. Not too smart and not too dumb, but just right. Someone on my level because I love to talk and debate things. Seriously some of the dumbest people I ever met where Lawyers! LOL. Not all, one of my closest friends is a lawyer so I know they can be very smart people. I remember when I was in my 20's,in my first real job and I used to chat to the cleaners a bit. You know being the friendly chick I am, and I was amazed as this guy in his 50's who was emptying my bin was telling me he owned 20 apartments! So you just never know.

I am a tantric massage practitioner and trainer. I have been a massage therapist for over 24yrs. It's the word 'tantric' that I have found men take offence to. I am very proud of what I do.I'm currently doing an Accredited Practitioner Diploma in Tantric Studies which I will complete in November. Earlier this year I was rejected by a man I cared for very much based solely on my life path and vocation in tantra. I cannot change my profession. It really hurt but I was unprepared to compromisemyself to appease the ego of someone whose argument was based on so much fear and ignorance. Although it did feel like a 'kick in the guts' just when my life was soaring.I would very like to know the men of rhp's opinions about a relationship/dating a woman with a vocation like mine?

Years ago i was in the RAAF and when at a party invariably 1st question was names and then 2nd was and what do you do ?. After a few times I realised that if i said i was in the military the shutters would come down in the eyes of the people i was talking to and that any chances of meeting a person to have fun with that night was nigh zero. So , being an enterprising young man I decided that if in future i went to a party where I knew hardly anyone and in fact was not very likely to meet any of the people there again, I would pick a different job to say in each little knot of people i got talking with seeing as party's often break up into different clumps of people. Sometimes it was a real laugh if another person also moved from knot ot knot like I did to hear me say something totally different and i ws caught out with my socialogical experiment. The way people responded to different jobs was telling and I could be anything from a garbage collector , not received terribly well, to a Nurse , Pilot or if i was in a stirring mood , a happily long term unemployed living of "their" taxes ...and thankful lol. The thrust of my deceit was I found had a far greater chance of getting past first base IF i was in a socially palatable job. yes this was terrible a play on people but i was young and def not looking for anything other than a one or at most 3 night stand , but even then it did grate that people so judged others purely on the way they put a roof over their heads and food on the table. Like i said in my previous post on this topic I do have my own hard limits as in members / supporters of right wing politics , but after that dont give a damn .... so shoot me lol.

I also do skimpy bartending which is even worse for people judging. As long as it makes me happy, that's all that matters to me. If someone judges me based on what I do for a crust, they're not the kind of person that I want to be around anyway. Jess xx But that sweet school teacher thing , would have driven everyone nuts. At least now you can be yourself, and your a delightful , smart , sexy young woman. Man I bet you clean up as a skimpy! I agree, it's much better! It wasn't so much what other people thought about my job (and whether it drove them nuts or not) that prompted a change, but my own happiness and well-being. Now I just like to drive them nuts in other ways Thank you for the compliments though If you went by job snobs' thinking though there's no way I could possible be 'smart' when i'm a measly admin girl... Jess xx

As you know lots of women aren't here just to fuck 'em. As for women asking men what they do, that is what a few blokes have commented to me about their experiences so my comment is just hearsay. Mind you they were younger in their 20's. Maybe women unconsciously looking for good husband material. Reminds me of a Sex and the City episode when they focussed on men's careers and if the looked "good on paper"

Apologies for my intelligent comment, it came out wrong and wasn't really how I meant it and I just looked like a big dick. And I am perfectly aware that there are doctors driving cabs or even admin assistants. :P At the end of the day I would be after someone with drive and passion and believes in what they do. As for jobs such as firefighters and other such professions. I am sure it isn't easy being a partner of someone in these professions as you would be scared for them every day.

Quoting 'Meeka100' And as you will see from my spelling and grammatical errors that I definitely should not be with anyone too smart....... I would drive them nuts no doubt. Grammar comes easily to anyone who had their nose buried in some fantastical novel in their teens. : ) Fortunately I realised some time ago that the ability to speak and write real good doesn't equate with smarts! ; ) I'll take humbleness over brains any day

Can't say I'm fussed what people do for a living. Sure I have a major attraction to military men and anyone that risks their life so I can have a nice life. But a man that wears a suit well and can baffle with his brains is a turn on to. Am I judged on what I do? I can't say, I've never really thought about it. I don't think many understand what my job is :) - Posted from rhpmobile

I think we are culturally trained to prefer some occupations over others. I've always been judged for both my occupations... That used to annoy me now I use it to my advantage :) As for my favourite occupations I love dancers, musicians, writers, artists and creative professions- I have lots to talk about with them.... But these skills can be involved in a number of professions 👯 Xxviolet

Quoting 'deepbluesumthing' I am a tantric massage practitioner and trainer. I have been a massage therapist for over 24yrs. It's the word 'tantric' that I have found men take offence to. I am very proud of what I do.I'm currently doing an Accredited Practitioner Diploma in Tantric Studies which I will complete in November. Earlier this year I was rejected by a man I cared for very much based solely on my life path and vocation in tantra. I cannot change my profession. It really hurt but I was unprepared to compromisemyself to appease the ego of someone whose argument was based on so much fear and ignorance. Although it did feel like a 'kick in the guts' just when my life was soaring.I would very like to know the men of rhp's opinions about a relationship/dating a woman with a vocation like mine? Hi deepblue, I, for one, wouldn't have any problem at all with your vocation/interest/involvement in Tantra. I've studied the practices and philosophy for a number of years. It's helped me to live a far more enriching life (mainly sexually, but also in other areas). I also like to think that it's helped me to be more interesting, creative and able to (I trust), please a woman more so than if I wasn't familiar with the level of Tantra that I am. So, I say, go for it and the man you speak of was narrow-minded and far too judgmental for any thing wonderful to have come of it, anyway (Just my opinion... I didn't know the man... You did)...

I like to open people's eyes to the fact that a job maketh not the woman. I must say that I'm a bit biased against defence and bus dev/sales people thanks to my former husband and former colleagues. I try not to judge but someone would have to really break the mold and be able to leave it at work for me to want to spend a lot of time with them. xx Sarah

Are you saying you are a set worker? I don't quiet get why a person would get bent out of shape, unless you were giving happy Endings? In my work guys get a happy ending some times, but it's mostly them doing the happy part while I keep shooting. Some women massage, and might get the oops moment but are not registered sex workers, some bdsm specialists are not sex workers, but guys may not like that up they want a relationship. So what is it guys don't like about what you Do?

So what is it guys don't like about what you Do? inthekiss, Tantra has nothing to do with being a sex worker! I am a tantric massage therapist, with the emphasis on massage, where there is no pre-determined set outcome to the session. I am not paid to perform any sexual services and tantra therapists do not have sex with their clients.As i've mentioned on another post, in November, I will have completed an accredited practitioner diploma in tantric studies (Kuala and Mishra) and will be fully qualified to teach tantra to couples and single men and women....... (Sorry to the people who have had to hear that twice.) To answer your question, inthekiss, What my friend had a problem with was his own jealousy of other people (men) sharing one on one time with me in a professional setting, amplified by the fact that he didn't understand what 'tantra' meant? 'Tantra' is such a misused and bandied about term that a lot of people want to believe the 'purely sexual hype' and 'glamour' that it has been wrongly associated as. Yes, I will 'know' the sexual techniques (Kuala) but alongside that also the way of the heart (Mishra). Tantra is essentially about the marriage of energy and consciousness and tantra seeks to open the channel of energy flow between sex and heart.

Meeka - i like your honesty... It doesnt concern me what someone does for a living, I do tend to get alittle cranky at the people who do nothing for a living, but still expect everything.... This does not include people with disabilities - its the people who are able to work and decide not too. I like hearing what people do for work as it broadens your interest in them. Paradisepair- I work with boxing instructors and male PT's - very nice guys ;-) x

Surely it's a general question what someone does for a living,not a gender thing! Never been an issue for me only ask as a polite gesture,shows an interest to lady I'm interested in! Take people on face value ,a well dressed lady is a good sign ,they have one outfit,at least jokes! Further question to the ladies surely a well dressed gent ,has a better chance both (bed Olympics and friendship)

Echo the comments said earlier. I have had one bad experience with a policeman, and have two female friends who have had their own with police. Don't get me wrong, I am not critical of police. They're amazing and do a thankless job, but refer to dating men who just happen to be police. What are mens experiences with women in the force?

I would date someone from the military but not if they were prepared to follow any order even especially killing innocent civilians. That goes against all my morals and ethics, and a paycheque can never justify those actions or sheeplike behaviour. I would consider dating a police woman but I would have to ask her if she would arrest me for a crime that she would be happy to turn a blind eye to or even help cover up if it was a fellow officer. I couldn't date a police woman that would ignore something her fellow officers did while then arresting a member of the public [that may contribute to their wage/salary] for the very same thing. That would go against my morals and ethics.It's not the profession, its the attitude, personality and morals and ethics of the person working in that profession. As for the unemployed, people just have to accept that not matter what, there will always be people who think it's their right to bludge off the system, but that doesn't mean everyone on the dole is bludging off the system. Every job I have worked has had either hard workers or bludgers happy to sit back and watch the hard workers do all the work but stick their hand out each week for a paycheque. Who are those people, that clearly do not want to work but are happy to take up a job from someone who is hard working but unemployed. It's all well and good for people to say "take what ever job you're offered", but how many of those people would stand down from their job if an unemployed person had more to offer the company by taking your position. It's all good to tell others to step up to any job offered, but what's your response if you get told that your job is now going to someone else and you have to step down. The person replacing you and putting you out of work now calls you a "dole bludger". How does it feel ?

since I'm not going to set up house with anyone I meet here, their job doesn't bother me. I look for warmth, wit, intelligence and chemistry from people I want to spend time with, what they do for a living doesn't seem relevant to that. I'm a nurse so you can imagine the reaction that gets... Woman says nurse - man sees naughty nurse outfits and sponge baths ;-) The reality is I wear scrubs and spend my day elbow deep inside people, it's not particularly sexy... - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'Invisible_Donkey' Politicians are the best lovers especially in winter........(it's all that hot air they spout)... I am a little bit "on the fence" with this subject as I have not experienced any sort of partner in employment of the adult industry, all of mine have been in pretty vanilla occupations previously and no matter what they did that was their profession, it what they did for a career or to earn a crust to keep themselves, their families and the bills paid, easy as that. Now to address deepbluesumthing....me personally if I had the chance of dating a Tantric Massage Therapist that would be great, as i am a masseur myself I have a great yearning for knowledge of all styles and sorts of massage therapies, and that is one source of work that would I would presume to have only a very caring and sensual person so i can only see benefits to dating such a person. Me myself I work 2 jobs, one very boring customer service retail based the other is my massages, very personal and private but there is parts of both careers that do not and would not effect a relationship, and nor should they effect a relationship between to adults.

About the couple of times I read the people who kill animals for a living are out. So that means Vets, Park Rangers, Stockmen and a lot of people that work with animals. Funnily enough, not most city butchers as they buy the carcasses from the abattoir. Strange, I thought everybody thought Vets were amazing.

For people on a non-judgemental sex/dating/swingers/fun site who like freedom with their sexuality, it seems contraditory to judge on people's occupation... taking us back to the time when class and ability seemed tied together. Perhaps 1 day people will rise above that, time will tell.

I have chatted/met several guys that are cops & they all say the same thing, women tend to shy away when they find out they are cops. The first time I heard this, I thought it was really odd, but after hearing it from several different people, I gather it is a common thing. But as far as I am concerned, I don't mind at all, besides at least with cops, you know they have had their police checks done ;)

But as far as I am concerned, I don't mind at all, besides at least with cops, you know they have had their police checks done ;) it will largely depend on how much contact you've actually had with police. I know I used to have a certain idealistic view of all police in general, but without going into details that view certainly changed after my period of employment in the QPS. Up here in Qld there are also many issues of systemic, long-standing corruption in the service which also hasn't helped their public perception (and nobody needs to even try and tell me that corruption was an issue in the Joe days but no longer exists, don't waste your time). Again, I am not saying that all police are 'bad', I am perfectly aware that there is individual variation and that there are many 'good' police, but let's just say that I don't have the blind trust in all police that I used to.
