Does a guy's job/profession influence your decision as to whether you would go out with him or fancy him?

honestly if a girl has to weigh her decision on a man profession then it is not love it is a desire to feel protected and secure. there is no passion or lust and without these thing a relationship is torn maybe not all the way. but there is no reason to go through something like this. girls find a guy who you love for more then his money or profession not let these things get in the way. because years down the road when you wake uo next to that guy that you are with for all the wrong reason you will regret it.

There was a study where a group random group of guys were individually photographed. They had the men rated on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being the most attractive, one least) by a group of ladies with no other information provided. They then made fake identities for the men (including jobs and salaries) that were posted with the pictures and asked women on the street to rate the men. A guy that was originally rated 2 was given a software programming job and a $205,000/yr salary. He was rated an 8 by the second group of women. A guy who had originally gotten a 9 was given a mechanic job and something like a $25,000/yr salary was bumped down to a 5 average by the second group. Keep in mind I don't remember the exact details of the study, but generally, yeah. Money makes a difference. Women need to know that the man can take care of her and the family she plans on one day having. Unless she's a billionaire and the starving artist makes her truly happy, I'm willing to bet most girls are going to ask him to get a real job or move out.

Yes, a job is like another woman. It's a rival for your time, your creativity and will always be in your head when the two of us are together. Considering all that, I would like your job to be something that I am somewhat interested in, and also provides the funding for activities that will take us far away from it whenever we want.
It's also very important to me that your work is something that is actually rewarding and engaging for you. I don't want kissing all the bruises on his ego to be my full-time job, I have my own career to attend to.
Profession also speaks to your interests.
Your job is very important to me, not only because of money, but because your job and career path will effect the way I work and live as well if we are going to build a fututre.
But, if I'm just looking for a quick treat, you can sling hash 20 hours a day for all I care.

For a lot of women, the guy's profession is important. In evolutionary terms, a woman is looking for a guy who can provide and protect her. During cavemen times, a woman and her child was in danger from predators, and she sought a male who was physically strong. Nowadays, this evolutionary trait evolved into seeking men who had a good social status and who was strong in terms of political and/or financial status. An ugly politician has more pulling power than a really attractive street cleaner. Modern values do blur this requirement in some, but thats why a lot of women like men who have good jobs. Its not a gold-digging thing.

To a certain extent i do think that it does matter, it matters for the simple fact if he can take them out, if he will have free time to show some attention. Then again like another answerer said, there are some woman who like a broke man. For me personally, I feel that if a man is going to be interested in me he has to bring something to the table meaning he has to be able to be on the same level as me. If he has no job, then he doesnt have the same goals, and values as i do and i dont want that let alone NEED that. Now adays woman have become more independent to the point where a man's role in a relationship isnt about security, stability, and his able to provide for his family. It dont matter what job you have unless you have a Master's and he has a job at Mc Donalds..lol..what would they have incommon who can use their discount??

In some ways, I'd say profession would have more influence than what money it bought home.
To me its not a money thing. I wouldn't want to go out with a debt collector that broke peoples legs if they didn't pay up, and I wouldn't want to go out with someone who worked opposite hours to me, as I'd never see them.
So basically to me it matters a bit, in some situations but in others, not a lot really. As long as they are ok about it. It would annoy me if they were doing a dead end job, that they were better than, and they hated it. They would go down in my estimation.

If I was looking to start a family I would not mind a good provider. But generally I am more interested in the person within.

I do prefer professional guys, but it's not the most important thing. My career will always be more important than his. I don't need his job to afford things.

Nope! It's down to his personality or manner. Sometimes his proffession can give you a hint as to how nice he maybe, for eg. If he works in rehab or something, but then thats not always a good indictor.
