Dating dilemma: Is their/your job too sexy?
I was bypassing the TV One network and spotted a show called Love Addiction. This particular episode featured Dr. Tartt, who has guest blogged on our MIA blog before, talking to a couple in distress. I am not sure where the addiction came in, but the woman was dating a guy who is paid to rub on dangerously naked women all day.
I started to wonder which jobs, careers brought a slew of potential dangers if you were in a relationship. Obviously a massage therapist has to look at women all day as they moan in pleasure (if he’s doing it right!), is pretty close to most sexiest jobs. What about an OB/GYN? Or a bartender?
Do you think that certain jobs or careers would require a super secure, totally understanding partner, for things to work?
I can not imagine having to constantly explain about “clients” to a significant other. Then again, what is it really like having to deal with your mate, basically flirting and turning on charm for a living?
What do you think? Would it bother you if you were dating someone in an industry that involved hot bodies and flirting? Are you in that kind of career now? Has it caused dating problems for you? If so, how did you handle it?

Leggs — Yeah, I have a feeling she’s going to be one of those with the prominent baby bump and the rest of her body looking the same.
Side note: Do you ladies realize how h0rny you make us when you’re knocked up? (Well, knocked up by us, anyway. Don’t think just some random pregnant b!tch would make me h0rny)

“(Well, knocked up by us, anyway. Don’t think just some random pregnant b!tch would make me h0rny)” – maybe not you, swiss, but many men get off on pregnant woman. Doesn’t matter the woman, she can be Jane Doe walking across the street….
But yeah, married men seem to be turned on by the site of that pregnant belly, not a fat belly, but a pregnant belly!

Swiss, wait until she has the baby and then gets her pre-baby body back! It’s amazing also the puddy is better after a baby has come out of it. I don’t know why but it just is.

@Swiss
No, they don’t.
It’s because of the female “I don’t feel sexy” hormone doesn’t kick back in until the 3rd trimester. By then though, you’re so starved that you may not mind poking the baby’s skull.

PR/swiss – My best friend is due next month and she was telling me hor h0rny she was but hubby was a bit apprehensive about doing it. Once he got a taste he was gooood to go (earlier on in the pregnancy of course) Now she’s just ready to get that baby out and is tired all of the time. Has any of your ladies been super hormonal and emotional so far?

Purp — I won’t get to test that theory — she’s going to have to have a c-section. But it’s awfully good without having had a baby come out of it, so I’m sure I’ll be a’aiiiiiiight. lol
disco — Don’t think Mrs. Swiss will need any motivation from me to get the pre-preggo body back. She’s pretty hard-core. In fact, she’s generally the one kicking my azz.

And on topic, I have some jobs that are not considered sexy, but can be, electrician, plumber, or any other kind of handy man, women always trying to get out of paying for that service call. Oh and lets not forget the fedex and ups delivery

Slim, crazy, deranged, psycho, mean, forgetful were just a few of her emotions during those times. I see why there aer a bunch of single moms out there. A weak guy couldn’t make it the whole 9 months and the short period after.

Slim — Mrs. Swiss hasn’t really hit any extremes so far — good or bad (I’m still waiting for that extra h0rny hormone to kick in). She’s just really tired all the time. On top of that, after the little bleeding scare last week, the doctor told us to lay off the “do” for a while. My ball

My ex wife was the prettiest when she was pregnant…rosy cheeks, skin soft… If a woman is pretty before getting pregnant, she seems to get beautiful. A woman who was butt ugly before gets butt ugly but fat. My sister was pretty before pregnancy. But she got kind of ugly while pregnant…her nose swelled up. Weird.

Single/Purp – You have a point with regards to the service guys. I know a guy that was doing electical work and he said you’d be surprised how often women will come on to them. He said he even had a 3-some on a call one time. It was premeditated by the chick who put in for a call and she was an older lady. I’m surprised he went through with it but I guess you only live once lol

SlimUno ~ when I was pregnant, I didn’t experience anything most women do. No cravings, no morning sickness, but I was extremely kind to everyone. I must admit I found that strange. My sassy nature went to sleep for those 8 months. I ate a lot of pizza, but I did that anyway. The one and only food that I found strange that I ate was liver and onions. Haven’t had it since and she’ll be 18 in 2 months.
Dan ~ again, I apologize because once again I’m being quite naive in my thinking. Of course there are men walking around that are sexing pregnant woman who’s not carrying their baby. I stand corrected….
Nonetheless, your earlier post is what you experienced. Again, not all men are starved.
