Lawyer, Engineer, Designer: These are the jobs most likely to score you a date
Your resume could be the reason you’re unlucky in love
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If dating apps haven’t yet set you on the path for true love, there might be a reason your profile isn’t proving successful.
Yes, you’ve nailed the perfect bio and perfectly executed headshot - but the one thing that could be seriously affecting your love life is your resume.
According to new research from Happn - the app, which uses your real-time location to find people who’ve crossed your path – not all professions are equally desirable.
That’s right, your job just isn’t sexy enough.
After analysing data from its 2.9 million users, Happn figured out the top five professions considered to be the most lustworthy for both men and women and the results are pretty surprising.
Spoiler: firefighters, models and personal trainers didn’t make the cut.
Surprisingly, being a lawyer was ranked the most attractive profession among both sexes while those who identified themselves as analysts came in just behind for men.
After that, engineers, salesman, and doctors proved the most likely to have success on the app.
For women, being a designer was the second profession almost certainly guaranteed to help you rack up the likes.
Closely followed by teacher, marketer and physician.
Alas, swiping right isn’t just about looking buff in your picture after all; nowadays you need to have brains as well as brawn.
