If you’re looking to up your desirability on dating apps like Tinder, you may want to consider a career in the aviation industry. The app recently revealed that men who listed their career as “pilot” got the most amount of right swipes — an indication of romantic interest — on the dating app, beating out entrepreneur, firefighter, and even model.
“It makes sense,” psychotherapist and relationship expert, Dr. Ginnie Love, tells Travel + Leisure. “Women like the idea of a powerful man. Being a pilot says, ‘I'm fearless, daring and intelligent.’ It's the ultimate phallic symbol—a jet liner.” The pilot uniform may also play a role. “It is less about the man himself and more about what the uniform represents,” Dr. Deanna Brann, psychotherapist and author, tells us. “Although it seems like a cliché that women love men in uniform, the uniform represents power, authority, and strength, which is something women are drawn to. If you think about it for a minute, that same man in different clothing would not likely create the same reaction in a woman; there would have to be something about him specifically that draws her to him.” For women, it’s a different story. The number one job that got the most right swipes was a physical therapist ahead of an interior designer, publicist, and teacher. But, a travel-related career did make it the top 15; being a flight attendant came in at No. 13. The full list of hottest careers, this way.
