There are as many ways to pick up single women as there are single women. So the key to increasing your odds is by being where the ladies are. With this in mind, what better way to consistently pick up than to work where the women are?
I've compiled a list of the careers that provide the best social perks. Not included are those of divorce lawyer and marriage counselor, since these jobs are in a league of their own for meeting and picking up women.
Read on, and you might just end up considering a career change.
If you're a trainer at a health club, presumably you're lean and buff, so the ladies will already like what they see. On top of that, you'll be working with tons of women who are trying to get into shape. Throw in the fact that much of your work involves hands-on training, and you're halfway there. Plan on taking part in plenty of late-night workout sessions at home.
A similar position would be a yoga or aerobics instructor. You'll be the man with the moves, so the ladies might want to see you in action up close.
Number 9 =========
Airplane pilot =========
Talk about prestige and power -- hundreds of passengers put their lives in your hands. Plus, you have that fancy uniform. And the ladies love a man in uniform.
Furthermore, you're flying all over the world, oftentimes with plenty of single women who are going on vacation. Even failing that, you're guaranteed travel with sexy flight attendants who are going where you are and staying in the same hotel. Just don't get caught with your pants down in the cockpit, or it's back to flying freight planes.
The runner-up to this dream job is a male flight attendant.
Number 8 =======
Fashion designer ============
If you have a knack for design, get your butt into a fashion design school. You'll likely be one of the few straight guys in attendance, and you'll spend your career working with young, creative girls -- the artsy types who like to party and have fun.
Days in the fashion business are spent surrounded by girls, designing clothing. Nights consist of partying with women, helping them in and out of their clothes.
The runner-up might be a career as a hair or makeup stylist. If you can make women feel beautiful, they'll want to show you just how beautiful.
Number 7 =======
Lifeguard ========
Lifeguarding is a young guy's game, perfect for summer work in college. And oh what a game it is. You'll be tanned, in good shape and working at the beach or pool where all the girls love to go to relax. And you get to see them in all their glory, spread out in bikinis and thongs. That way you can check out the merchandise before you decide whether or not to take the plunge.
The runner-up here is a sailing or surfing instructor. Nothing like waves, sand and the sun to relax the ladies and put them in the mood.
Number 6 ========
Actor =====
As an actor, you'll spend plenty of time in drama classes and performing in plays with actresses. When this is happening, you know you've hit the jackpot. Not only are many actresses hot, they're often wild, crazy and fun, on and off the stage.
You don't have to look like Brad Pitt to clean up with your fellow thespians. If you're not a prima donna or totally narcissistic, you'll always find a partner to act out your fantasy scenes with.
The runner-up to this position is a male model. For sheer numbers, this is a great job -- you'll be working side-by-side with tons of hot, young women.
It's no secret that the ladies love to dance. So it's no surprise that they find a man who knows his way around the dance floor to be very sexy. If you've got the moves, this might even be a career for you.
Whether you're teaching salsa or samba, your class will be filled with women looking to learn some moves. You'll be grinding to the beat up-close, which could lead to plenty of late-night private lessons.
The runner-up is teaching a cooking or wine appreciation class. Your knowledge of high culture will score you instant points with your students, most of whom will be female.
Number 4 ======== Talent scout =========
A recruiter for a modeling agency. Need I say more? Yes, this is a real job and guys get to do it. It's a career path that provides you with one of the best pickup lines around. You get to approach extraordinarily attractive women and ask them if they'd be interested in being models. If they're not, you can still give them your card just in case they change their mind.
Since picking up women is a numbers game, you're bound to end up on the receiving end of some private lingerie modeling shows.
The runner-up is a gig as a casting agent. You might experience the term "casting couch" up-close and personal.
Number 3 ========= Doctor =====
You have to be smart, and you have to go to school for years. But, once you're a certified M.D., you'll have the best job in the book for wowing the girls. At any bar or party, when a girl asks you what you do, you'll have the answer they want to hear.
Mothers tell their daughters from an early age to meet a nice doctor to marry when they get older. If that's not enough to make the rest of us sick, you'll also be working with plenty of attractive, young nurses. So get ready to play doctor with those naughty things.
The runner-up here is nurse. It gives you plenty of face time with single women who may be visiting a sick friend or family member, or even some sexy female nurses.
Number 2 ========
Bartender ========
In the movies, bartenders are usually portrayed as smooth operators with a quick wit. So working as one will automatically give you an air of suaveness. Even a bartender who's not especially cool can still score big points with the ladies, just by serving them some strong cocktails. After all, everyone likes a good value.
By the end of the night you'll be one of the few reasonably sober guys in the joint, giving you the edge in working your magic with the well-lubricated girls.
The runner-up jobs are waiter and bouncer -- both also well situated within proximity of plenty of drunk women.
Number 1 ======= Singles resort employee ================
Whether you're a pool boy, bartender or entertainer at a singles destination such as Hedonism, you've got a great job for picking up women.
You can't go wrong with single women away from home, looking to let loose and leave their ordinary lives behind. Throw in the beach, bikinis and plenty of booze, and your job description could change to unofficial male escort.
No need to worry about commitment, either. Just when things are getting serious, the girls are on their way home, making room for a fresh incoming batch of beauties.
The runner-up would be any job on a singles cruise line. You can work your magic on captive female passengers, hundreds of miles away from home.
