Let us speak of Firemen, bemuscled and smeared with soot and sweat. Let us speak of Welders near and far, immersed in metal and fire, in a hardhat and dirty jeans. Let us speak of Baseball Players with tight pants and lean muscles. For these are men that could be dog ugly in the face, but their professions make them sexy. Of course, IMHO. What are some inherently sexy professions to YOU, and why? jarbaby ---

Singer…this should be for obvious reasons. But there’s something almost sultry about someone getting on stage and baring their soul. Waitress/bartender…Not really something I can explain, but there’s something inherently sexy about it. Not that I can hit on either. Psychological fear that they’re so used to it, that they’d never take it seriously. ---

hmmm, glasses with tape on the bridge, pocket protector, high water plaid pants, white socks, black shoes… gimme an engineer, baby!! FTR, the engineers I work with pretty much wear jeans, T’s or golf-type shirts, and sneaks. No one here has a pocket protector - not even the EEs. But some of them have wicked wits and amazing intellects - _OOOOOH, Baby!!!_ ---

**Fairy** , do you have ANY IDEA how many engineers we have on this Board?! Better watch out, girl! For me: Sailors and Marines.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Arden Ranger \* > **Especially guitar and piano players. Nimble fingers.** Violinits also do quite well in that category, I might point out! Women musicians are sexy too - and by that I mean women who write and perform their own music, or who perform music for the love of the art rather than with the primary goal of makin’ bucks and being on MTV. ---
