Poll question: What is "sexier" - a writer or a photojournalist?
Edited on Sun Jul-30-06 11:56 PM by RagingInMiami
I happen to be both, but the reason I ask is because this new woman I'm dating views me more as a photojournalist than a writer because she has seen my photos, but has not seen my writing.

Anyway, she told one of her co-workers about me, telling her that "he's a photojournalist" and her friend responded by saying, "ooh, sexy." And of course this was all relayed back to me, which is how I know.

So after getting a slight ego boost from the "sexy" remark, I told her, "hey, don't forget I'm a writer also" and she laughed.

So now that I realize that at least some women view certain professions as "sexy" (where the hell are they when I'm on my photo shoots?), I'm wondering how "sexy" would a writer be considered. Or how about a reporter?

And if you don't mind, please explain why.

4. photojournalist
It's much more flattering to be thought attractive by somebody with an artist's eye.

5. Definitely a writer...
Someone who can paint a picture for me with words...someone who can either break my heart or lift it with a phrase...

*sigh*

Turns me into a puddle every time...

6. While both are cool,
I have the impression that a photojournalist is out in the thick of events, while a writer (or journalist) is fact checking behind a desk. Maybe that's an unfair assessment, but it is just my first impulse.

Maybe that's where they are coming from?

11. "Photojournalist" suggests an element of danger.
To me, it would make a sexier first impression than writer. You imagine a photojournalist is out there living live on the edge. A writer is just a person in a room alone, writing.

Maybe women want to date a photojournalist, and marry a writer...
