    A crusty academic university professor....

    Not all academics are crusty old professors who smoke pipes and wear tweed, I'll have you know! Some of them are younger. There's a lecturer in my college (she lectures in employment law, equality law and equity and trusts) and who I quite like (no not in THAT way, just that she's a nice person) and she's in her mid-late 40s but quite attractive for her age. The lads all fancy her ;-) My mother thinks I have a crush on this woman but I don't. I like her a lot because she's a very intelligent lecturer but also a nice person and she supported me through a difficult time in 2014. She even let me cry in her office 😢👩🏻🏢🐐🎮 I'm hoping to become a law lecturer myself and to do that I need a PhD. I'm anything but crusty :D

    I'm going to have to agree with your mother.

    the answer would probably disgust and confuse you. But, I like to watch.

    Empress of the world would be pretty good. I'd probably understand that more than digital test manager as she is now!

    Funnily enough I was playing scrabble the other day and had a shortage of vowels throughout.

    I'm sure they sell a cream for that ;)

    I agree.

    Our current vet is wonderful and whenever I go over there with the dog he perches on the counter and looks me directly in the eyes with a wry smile and a patient ear. I could easily take him there and then on the examination table :blush: My husband is convinced I've pulled .... and that is a nice thought :p

    One that makes him really happy. He doesn't really like his current job, and he's brilliant with computers and techy stuff, so it would be nice if he could do that AND get paid for it.

    I could not give a toss if she was testing out the latest dildos.

    A soulmate's happiness should come before your own - they should be put first above all else.

    That is what true love is.

    Really can't see why the ideal parner, partner, soulmate, needs a job. As long as the two of you are happy, what does it matter who works and at what.

    For me it would proboably be an academic. Maybe not in the hard sciences or languages but something in social sciences, arts or humanities, philosophy. I always find it strange when I hear it said that women need to be careful not to seem too intelligent for fear of putting guys off. I've never been put off by it.

    The trouble is that such people are rather hard to meet. I wouldn't say it was like the freemasons but they seem to stick to their own a lot.

    Are you an academic? people do tend to stick to their social/work circles. An academic would have more in common with a fellow academic than with say a lorry driver. I wouldn't care what a future partner would do, as long as they did something. Dating someone who is very long term unemployed, who does nothing with his time (no volunteer work, or improving his job prospects) wouldn't work for me.

    But what if they were a 'nice guy' Minnie? ;-)

    Nice guy as in genuinely nice, or niceguy with a chip on his shoulder and a sense of entitlement? ;-)

    Good answer. On a similar note, when my kids were younger they used to want their dad to get a job as a maintenance manager in Walt Disney World!

    Seriously, I genuinely wouldn't mind as long as they were happy, although it's handy being married to someone who is practical as it has saved a fortune over the years in calling out engineers to repair things.

    Ideally a combination of doctor/dentist/hairdresser, so I could avoid having to go to those appointments.

    Once upon a time. You were born a few hundred years too late.

    Hmmm. Not something I've ever really thought about to be honest. Something that he's enthusiastic and passionate about. Happy at work = reduced stress and increased general satisfaction. That'll transfer to happy at home. Something to do with nature or animals maybe...purely because those are my interests so we'd connect on that.
