you are not a doctor, are you?
I guess it's not much of a surprise how often Truck Driver comes up considering it's one of the largest professions in the US.
It'll really suck for them when we have driverless trucks.
Business Insider has run several articles of the urban college female "problem". With 30% more females obtaining college degrees currently than males plus that males generally dont marry up, there is a surplus of 20-something college females in all metropolitan areas except San Francisco and Washington DC. Good news for guys then. One silly article tried explain the success of hookup apps is that more desperate femal…
I am a woman. I married "down". I also married a man shorter than me, something I don't advertise much because men who are shorter than average tend to have enormous amounts of baggage and I don't want every short man on the planet thinking I am the solution to their problem. In many cases, I do not want to get involved with them because they are assholes, not because of their height. As a woman who defies two really…
Agreed, although there seems to be a big difference in the social acceptability of admitting it.
Women will quite openly say they want a tall man, without being criticised. Whereas a man who says "I won't date anyone who weighs more than xxx lbs" or "I'll only date women at least 5 years younger than me" will often be seen as a shallow asshole.
This is only based on my experience of discussing it with (male and female) friends. YMMV

Looks like there's a correlation with long hours and isolated work environments away from other peer groups. Doctors for instance are well known for pairing up during the residency grind since it dramatically drops their interactions with anyone outside of their residency program and also occurs during their late 20's. A perfect storm.

I've lived with two medical doctors, both of whom referred to me, with a doctorate in particle physics but now a software engineer, as the 'real doctor'.

I sorted the data by which occupation marries within the same occupation the most: 13.9% Physicians and Surgeons 10.7% Textile Winding, Twisting, and Drawing Out Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders 10.1% none 9.7% Farmers, Ranchers, and Other Agricultural Managers 9.7% Lawyers, and judges, magistrates, and other judicial workers 9.5% Miscellaneous Personal Appearance Workers 9.3% Veterinarians 8.8% Dentists 8.5%…
I was dumped by a medical resident recently, she said she is "looking to settle down with a doctor". :\
(Doctor here. Married to probably the only female doctor who is not hard to live with ;))

As an Asian man - If I was single and I "hit on" a woman on the street once a day, it's more likely than not I'll be in a relationship within the month. It's not that hard, I often wonder how easy it is for non-Asian men. Do you just turn on Tinder and find yourself sleeping with women within 24 hours?
So disappointed. Was looking for the connection that shows who super models marry, so that I may plan my career like wise.
I wonder what difference between "Software Developers" and "Computer Programmers" causes the former to marry mostly within themselves and the latter to prefer nurses, teachers and secretaries.

Yeah, the model-truck driver connection is a real head-scratcher. It doesn't seem like they would often be in the same social circles.
