Why I Keep Falling for Nurses and Teachers

If the definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over and expecting different results, and if i claim that women are inherently insane, does this make me insane as well? if not insane, then, ummm, do i have insane tendencies? Whats the food like at western psych? if a black blogger writes a piss-poor exposition in the woods, will anybody read it?
Who knows.
All i know is that these were a few of the thoughts that first came to mind last night, when thinking of my ghosts of relationship past, and realizing that every woman i’ve ever had at least moderate feelings for has either been in education or heath care in some way or form.
Every. no exceptions.
You can make multiple conclusions from this, but the one that’s most apparent is the fact that these careers usually attract the same type of personalities. Generally speaking, women who choose these types of careers tend to be the nurturing, caring, practical, family oriented types. Basically, relationship-ey chicks. I dont intentionally highlight “assistant principal” or “nurse” when i’m reviewing the hundreds of relationship resumes i’m sent everyday, but i do usually find myself extremely erect if they attach a pic in their uniform can’t ignore that this pattern exists.
This realization gave birth to a few questions.
Falks…
1. Is there a career that just does it for you? are you lascivious for lawyers? Hot for horticulturalists? Randy for realtors? Wet for welders? Do historiographers get you hard? Do therapists get the tingle? Do surgeons make you squirt? Sculptors make you skeet? Engineers make you eat?
***ok. i’m done. as you can see, i was having far too much fun with this.***
2. Is there a close symmetry between the personality type you claim to be attracted to, and the career paths of people you usually date?
3. On the flipside, could you be with someone whose work you didn’t respect?
For instance, lets say you’re dating a successful artist who’s extremely passionate about her work. she’s physically attractive and has a great personality, but…you think that her “art” resembles what happens when your two year old nephew pees on the bathroom wall, and the fact that people actually spend good money on it makes you physically ill when you think about it. If you weren’t dating this woman and you happened across a piece of her artwork in a storefront, you’d want to murder the person responsible. is there a future there?
Also, i’m not over-generalizing when i say that there are certain careers associated with certain genders. you can argue whether it’s justified or unjust, but you can’t argue that it’s true. i’d also argue that this is more of an issue/concern for women, than men. with that being said…
4. Ladies, would you have a problem being serious with a guy in a “feminine” profession (ie: interior decorator, hairdresser, secretary, etc)? if so, why?
5. Am I insane?
Thoughts?
