You have a very difficult/challenging occupation! Yes it would take a strong and compassionate Man to support you.
Have I ever had man reject me because of my occupation? Not recently, but when I was younger - yes! So I do understand.
Hope you find that strong & compassionate man! 
My best to you.
Peace

Absolutely, more than once. I get bored and dramatically switch industries a lot, from mechanical and labour market to admin, health services (PSA) or security contracting, at the moment I'm mostly a bartender, sometimes a cook but I work for local government so it's excellently ambiguous for what I actually do there. Sometimes I don't even know and kind of wonder why they're paying me such good rates but they reckon I'm a real good worker and our government are pretty nice people around here.
So I fell for this incredible babe when I was doing auto predelivery a few years ago but she couldn't see herself going out with the hired help so to speak, despite coming across kind of regretful while she was beating around the bush (I'm pretty forward), I mean we really got along and I knew there was something in the way I felt and how it made her feel. She was almost at the maybe stage about it but just couldn't wrap her mind around what her modelling friends might say, some of them were dating local celebrities. Totally not kidding when I say how incredibly gorgeous she is, normally that's kind of a dealbreaker for me because I know what follows with ridiculously gorgeous women in our kind of society, I try not to shoot above my league and can't really stand things like commercialism and cosmetic values, I'm more underground style but we just cliqued and she was in my dreams.
Another girl was when I was doing corporate contract security but she was from a relatively wealthy background and it wasn't really the princedom she imagined, despite how well again we cliqued and pretty much everybody that saw us together thought we'd make a perfect relationship. We were like two playmates but my work, savings and income at the time didn't fit with her immediate plans, and she clearly outlined I was friendzoned for this. She thought that was a kindness, it wasn't.
Actually I've found by and large women are commonly like this. I don't really care so much anymore, I'm here but don't really care, I still wont but don't do match searches at these sites or anything. Occasionally I message someone, once or twice meet up but let it go very easily.
When the right person at the right time happens it will, but I've grown out of howling at the moon and aren't bothered whether it ends tomorrow or I win the lotto, it's all been lived pretty much now and it wasn't anything to write home about.

I am sure there are plenty of men out there with some backbone. I like dating NURSES and they have all kinds of weird schedules and there is almost nothing they haven't seen, including fist fights on the gurney. Nurses Rock
But Heck Yeah Raen . . . . I have been curbed for it.
Travelling consultant with no real home base at the moment.
I am here to make a bunch of dough for a few months and I don't know where I will be next . . . CYa!! I can't blame them. And NOW I have NO work but when I do I will be outta here, too!! Forget a GF, getting a second date is tough. 
OK, the truth is that I consider myself to be somewhat emotionally unavailable until I get something solid with work and location, and I think that is fair to myself, as well as any ladies I date.
In the mean-time I focus on self-improvement, like skinnying up my fat arse. 
Keep doing what you are doing, K. It is important work.

I can honestly say that I have been snubbed for having a lame job and now that I am unemployed? Women give me plenty of opportunity to get to know myself better. That's alright, dating is overrated any way and sex is not that important. Then again I keep hoping it is just a dream or my life will end soon, either or. I can always hope for something more than loneliness, just don't think it will happen.

Some jobs will if you are married to your job than chances are it will always come first and everyone else second. But with what you are saying I would not think that most men would be too concerned with what you do however if I were you I would keep my distance from those biting men.

I have met many ladies from the area and even dated a few but all with the same ending..."this isn't goin to work out if you can't be home more often.". Very hard to find someone worth while with the heart to underwent what I do for a living. Good forum!

no. I do the sae thing you do. How you handle your career w/regards to your relationship CAN be a factor.
That being said, some men will not understand and that is no loss since I would expect a partner to be supportive as I would be toward him.

im not sure about making a relationship, i just know about breaking them. i used to be a manager for a company and i was involved in retail sales so i would work long hours and shifts, sometimes 17 hours a day, and i understand why she would get mad at me, but it was my career. another job i worked was as a trucker on the midnight shifts so i would hardly see my partner, she would get upset. i always made sure i did everything i could to make sure the person i am with is loved and feels comfortable and taken care of...but it just seemed to be more bad then the good i tried putting in. so i can see how they break

My entire adult life has been spent without a real partner--but that was my decision. Career and parttime business left about 4 hours of a 24 hour day. I deal with risks and hazards and I can't be at work daydreaming about what's going on elsewhere. I could go on and on--but my answer is--yes--a career kept me single. NO REGRETS!!

What if your "career" was testing getting infected with STDs and then potential cures? Regardless of what you think is important in life, a job/career is just a means to the end of procuring a living for yourself. If it gets in the way of your free time, if it does bodily harm to you, if it gets really weird for other people trying to get close to you, then of course it's going to make a difference. Honestly, I wouldn't want to walk around in public with a woman who had a lot of visible bruises or scars that I'd have to passively explain away to everyone who walked by us.
If what you do is that important to you, it's going to get in the way if your boyfriends have to fight for your attention and your time. You get into the same thing with women who have pets, the massive amount of emotions they will invest in a freaking animal can border on insanity. Decide for yourself if you really care more about your career or being in a relationship, because if you want to successfully procure and keep both you might just have to settle for a male who doesn't care about you that much either. And this site is probably the first place you'll hear 50+ year old singles telling you that you don't have to settle, that you can have your cake and eat it too. Though I prefer looking at the reality of the situation, not a fantasy...

Princess I think you have an honorable career and I wouldn't have an issue with someone who does what you do. However and I don't care what anyone thinks of me I would have a serious issue with a woman who was a porn star or a stripper or escort. I'm sorry but it would bother me to know that the woman I love and care for was being oogled and lusted after by a bunch of horny strangers.

You are a Saint. Thank you for what you do for our society and I hope that you can continue to excel in your career and be safe doing so.
To answer your question, yes. I am convinced that my life as an Active Duty Army Officer played a large role in my divorce. There were many family moves, my deployments, her affairs while I was gone. It was not the sole reason but certainly a contributing factor.

Yes it can...I am in law enforcement. I am at the present time working in our county jail. I was recently told that alot of men don't want to be with some one in law enforcement because if the relationship went south it could get ugly if there were any grudges. Well not every one in my profession abuses their authority. I waited along time to become a police officer. I will some day find a man that is worth my heart.

What do you mean you hope your life will end soon? You are just 33 years old and can still pick yourself up and have a wonderful life with or without someone else. You sound depressed and when we are depressed, we think things can't get any better. But they will and they do... Many American and people all around the world are umemployed because of this recession. Whether we have a lame job, good job, or no job, happiness start inside ourselves.

Not for a living...
But close to it.
During my twenties, I volunteered my time as a Community Health Educator. I spent a considerable amount of time handing out condoms on college campuses, malls, high-risk neighborhoods, frat parties...you name it. My ex-boyfriend had a problem with me handing out condoms to men. He felt that it was an 'invitation' to sex. I thought the idea was absurd. My ID tag and reasons for being there was pretty self- explantory.

Ive been wondering the same thing. Ive been with my soon to be ex-wife for 9 years,married only two.When we started dateing I worked out of town alot,but it never seemed to be a problem until 6 months ago.Im kind of stuck on what to do now. I work two weeks most of the time. Get two days off.It doesnt make much time for a relationship, regardless of who its with. I like my job,that is the main problem.
