The good people over at the dating site whatsyourprice.com, have completed a study of 5,000 of its users, and determined which professions catch the eye of the opposite sex the most on dating profiles. These jobs are going to get you a date, an engagement, a marriage, kids, grandkids, great-grandkids... or just a date to begin with, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
