If you’re wondering if your profile photo is the only thing he or she is looking at while swiping left and right on Tinder, it appears singles are becoming a little less shallow. Your career actually matters.
Now that Tinder allows you to include your job and education on your profile, they’ve tabulated a list of the 15 most popular jobs for both men and women to attract a date, swipe, or whatever you might be in the mood for.
According to the Tinder blog, if you’re a male Pilot, Founder/Entrepreneur, or Firefighter, you’re in the top 3 careers that will get more right swipes. We get it. A Pilot can be sexy, but he won’t be around much. A Founder/Entrepreneur might be creative with a big bank balance, or at least some stock options, so he’s got long-term potential. A Firefighter or Doctor will save lives and can become your own personal hero. In short, women loved a man in a uniform.
As for the women, being a Physical Therapist tops the list as men are imagining her personal touch, somewhere, somehow, or anywhere. An Interior Designer was a bit surprising at number 2, but there’s something intimate about decorating a bedroom with candles and more. As far as number 3 is concerned, it’s enlightening to know that a man is interested in both beauty and brains, so kudos to those who want to date a smart and confident woman. Perhaps they’ll remember to leave the Board Room out of the bedroom.
Other top professions on both sides include being a Teacher, College Student, Model, and Personal Trainer.
Women who are in these professions also made the list: PR/Communications, Speech Language Pathologist, Pharmacist, Social Media Manager, Dental Hygienist, Nurse, Flight Attendant, and Real Estate Agent.
Men who are in these professions also made the list: TV/Radio Personality, Engineer, Paramedic, Lawyer, Financial Advisor, Police Office, and Military.
