Since most people are obsessed with work and sex, the online dating site and app Zoosk conducted a survey of 5,000 daters called “How Your Work Life Affects Your Love Life.” The company also collected information from over 8,800 profiles and 163,054 messages, using key words to understand how people’s jobs affect their dating lives. (At least Zoosk did not read your “what kind of sex I want to do with you” private messages in the process.) This revealing dating/work survey found out some interesting stuff.
As far as checking their dating apps at work, a whopping 73% of both men and women admitted to doing so at work. No wonder nobody is doing any work at work. Another 20% of men and women surveyed said that they sext at work. This explains why when you call a customer service number, a message comes on saying “A customer service representative is currently assisting other customers.”
Zoosk scanned 417,607 profiles and found that the following job-related buzzwords increased inbound message rates. Apparently, designers, entrepreneurs, and architects are considered hot and cooks and engineers are not. I’m actually surprised that doctors and lawyers didn’t rate higher, as Indian matchmaking sites like Shaadi.com list doctors as the most desirable profesh, according to the ladies.

The problem with the word “entrepreneur” is that it could also mean “drug dealer” or “unemployed.”
