Recently, an Indian friend of mine told me that her parents posted a profile of her on a number of Indian dating sites in the U.S., or “Indian Matrimonial Websites”, as they are called. But her parents didn’t care about what the guys looked like; all they cared about what what the men did for a living.
On the Indian dating site www.shaadi.com, there is an actual chart that lists available men by their professions. This is for parents who can eliminate the “middle management” IT guy and go right for the three professions most coveted in India: 1) Doctor 2) Lawyer, and 3) Dentist.
Meanwhile, a dating app from London called Happn, conducted a survey which rated the most attractive jobs people could have according to gender. Here are the jobs that made the “sexy” cut:
Men
