#102Software developers seem to be incredibly endogamous to me.
I love what these conclusions entail: female programmers are either lesbians, or so turned off by their male colleagues that they'll marry anyone else with a spread so wide to be statistically insignificant.
Or maybe the males are marrying anyone..
Oh, right! Now I realize the chart doesn't really show "other". It would be interesting to calculate entropy from the distribution for each profession.

#103Software developers (men) marry Recreation and Fitness workers (men). Maybe we should use this data to incentive gay men to become software engineers! At least would bring some diversity to my profession.

#104The usability of the page is pathetic. First, the fonts are too small. If you enlarge then you can't scroll horizontally to see the rest of the titles because the lines get in the way. Didn't anyone think to make the graph clickable instead of just mouse-over. And on top of everything we have the heading of the site that floats and gets in the way. Fucking hell. Someone saw the graph and said, wow let's just use it b…
How do they sleep at night!? /s
They (Designers) marry Miscellaneous Managers.

#106Most interesting connection I saw: "Eligibility Interviewers, Government Programs" "Unemployed, with no work experience in last 5 years"
Feale air-traffic controllers have a thing for female announcers. Guess they're into sexy voices.

#107So Software Developers marry mostly within their own group? How does it stack with the gender imbalance?
This is interesting. Of all the married software developers I know, none are married to another developer.

Can we talk about your opinion of it not being a profession? I've always noticed that good homemakers share the same qualities of a good professional. Organized, punctual, good communicator, and good manager. They don't earn a paycheck from an employer, but neither do other professions. A home maker simply does not stay at home and watch TV (well, a good one). There is a lot of work behind keeping a home in good stan…
Profession is literally 'a paid occupation' and homemakers aren't paid - so homemaking would be an occupation but not a profession. Furthermore, as the parent mentioned, there aren't really unmarried homemakers, except those who are independently wealthy. Someone may be a physicist or nurse and then _become_ a homemaker. All this isn't to to say that homemaking isn't challenging or exhausting (it can be), just that i…
Good points. I did not consider it being an occupation and not a profession. Thank you.

#109Yoga instructor is missing. That's pretty much the ideal wife (lots of free time, unreasonably fit), and I'd like to know what job to obtain in order to be pursued by yoga instructors. And DJ is missing. Which prevents us from confirming the hypothesis that DJ's do better than JD's. http://longorshortcapital.com/short-jds.htm Most men seek the JD to “make a lot of money” which is really just a euphemism for “power ov…
Yoga instructors believe a lot of crazy things. For long-term happiness, you need to consider ideological, religious / spiritual, and financial compatibility.
If someone bombarded me with pseudoscience everyday, I'd have a hard time keeping a long-term relationship, no matter how hot the sex.

It might be that those professions are so dominated by one sex that there is very little data. Finding a female welder, pipefitter or lineman... er, person, is like finding a unicorn.
There's enough women in the profession to have female -> female lines originating out of them, though. The implication is that there's a huge majority of queer women in them, to the point where heterosexual ones won't even show up on a visualization despite how much of a minority GLBT people are in the general population. (Or, alternatively: heterosexual women in those professions don't marry for whatever reason, and…
No, the visualization is adjusted such that it always shows at least one female->female connection, and one male->male connection.
So it might very well be the case that there are a lot more heterosexual female welders than homosexual female welders, it's just that there are so many male welders that their connections dominate the top five.
