Let's get one thing straight. In today's modern world of dating, 'loving' one another isn't always enough. Sure, intimate romantical feelings are pretty much crucial for a relationship's survival. But what about the technical stuff? What about your work schedules? What about your salaries? What about your goals and aspirations? 

See, this is just a tiny portion of questions that should be taken into consideration when getting into a relationship. These things might not matter to you in the beginning as you wear your rose-colored glasses and relish in the honeymoon stage. But once things begin to settle down and reality kicks in - that's when all these little problems arise. So next time you start something serious, think about what they do in their line of work and how compatible it is with you and your profession. 

With that being said, we present to you a Reddit thread where people discussed the most undateable professions along with their reasoning.

    Font - ipsen_gaia 13 hr. ago I'm dating a soon to be therapist, and though I thought that may be concerning with all of the shit I keep bottled up (I do see a therapist) she really knows how to turn it off in the relationship but also help when needed. For an actual answer, likely something like a sex worker or an influencer. In fact, an influencer may be worse for me. I don't want my life on display, and if we had kids, I wouldn't want them on display either.

    Font - gazzalia 15 hr. ago Singer/songwriters . You will be the subject of their music, and it won't be from your perspective. I'm specifically referring to those who sing about nothing but love and heartbreak. These people cannot be happy - heartbreak is literally their currency. Did it once, now there is an entire album about me.

    Our god complex could never handle literal music being written and produced about us. But we sure would love to try lol. Kinda sadistic of us too huh

    Would never ever ever date a prison guard sorry to all the guards out there but something tells us y'all have seen some $hit and are not afraid to bring it up. No thanks

    Font - bikesboozeand bacon 12 hr. ago Dated one, he worked a lot of doubles and we only saw each other when it was convenient for him which got stale fast. He was also way too controlling and I felt like an inmate with my whereabouts being clocked and questioned. Never again.

    Font - LobcockLittle 5 hr. ago . I went on a couple dates with a chick with about 100,000 followers or something. The next day she made a ticktock or Instagram video about how amazing the date was and how amazing I was. And then after the last date I told her that I didn't think it was going to work. Well, that night she made another video and made up a completely different reason as to why I was no longer interested. Both videos are pretty funny, though. I've shown them to a few people (includi

    Font - SilverLight141. 12 hr. ago Male (Late 20s) I'm not disagreeing with your opinion, I couldn't either. On the other hand, my cousin married an influencer who is quite successful which allowed her to open other business. They're living quite comfortably compared to my wife and I who work normal jobs.

    Font - Sedixodap 11 hr. ago . Yup this was the first rule I made. Had two different guys write songs about me by the time I finished. university and didn't like it one bit. Since then I've added mariners to the list - gone all the time and constantly cheat with coworkers. Also added guides - gone all the time and constantly cheat with clients.

    Font - Lopsided-Change-7983 · 16 hr. ago Doctors. I dated a couple of them and they tended to have a major superiority complex. Like there's us doctors, and then there's everyone else. I'm sure they're not all like that but I encountered it enough times to consider it a red flag.

    Font - TubeToUranus - 16 hr. ago Male Nurses work difficult shifts and see a lot of terrible things. It often seems to cause emotional problems that express themselves in promiscuity and substance abuse. Similar to cops.

    Font - webmentorman. 11 hr. ago I am a tech person and prefer not to partner with another analytical person. I've just found that being around people who are highly logic oriented all day that I enjoy the company of someone who's more creative and a little more intuitive. I feel like it's a good balance for a couple.

    Font - ng32409 15 hr. ago Teachers because they tend to be neurotic. I dated a few (all before the pandemic) and they were constantly stressed out and refused to focus on anything else. One ex taught an elective and you would've thought she had the most important class in her school with the stress she carried...and it was all her. Never again.

    Font - Sparky-air 15 hr. ago Male Not that I'm dating anymore but I could never date a lawyer. Never. I have lawyers in my family and they are some of the most miserable human beings I've ever met. Not saying it's all of them, but there's a pretty fair share of them that are absolutely miserable.
