A dating expert has acknowledged how ‘controversial’ she’s being after sharing her ‘red flag’ jobs that would make her instantly reject someone.
Australian columnist Jana Hocking is renowned for her take on dating trends, from her experience with celibacy to revealing the crazy thing women do after a break up.
With love being so complicated, Hocking has opened up on her ‘mighty good reason why’ she won’t date someone if they have a specific job.

Writing for the Daily Mail, she explained: “You see, I went on a recent date that turned out to be a complete disaster!
“Why? Well, his job should have been the first sign things were never going to work out.
“It all started on a crisp Sunday afternoon when I had ventured out with the girls for a vino and some laughs.
“One of my friends accidentally cut her finger on a sharp Oyster shell and a guy from the table next to us ran to the bar and asked for a band aid.
“This Prince Charming came scooting back with the plaster and saved the day.
“It was all very attractive and before I knew it, we were chatting up a storm.
“We swapped numbers and agreed to a date.
“Over text he told me he had a vegan cafe and invited me to come over for a vegan feast.
“I thought that was quirky and could be fun. Spoiler alert: It was not fun.”
Hocking said it turns out that the guy ‘wasn’t just your regular vegan’ and that he was the type of person that ‘would turn up to farms and steal chickens, let cows out of their paddocks and abuse farmers’.
As well as blocking him on all social media accounts, Hocking believes that people who are ‘entrepreneurs’ are ‘red flags’
But that’s not the only job you need to steer clear of apparently.
Another jobs on Jana’s list was doctor, as ‘medical talk puts me to sleep’. Meanwhile, the type of person she leans towards ‘is someone more eclectic and creative’.
Each to their own, I guess.
Accountants
Jana, like many of us, loves to chat to her partner about their day, but listening to what an accountant does in the office would send her to sleep.
She said: “They would be horrified at how I tally my expenses and keep a budget (I don’t!) and secondly because I love chatting to my partner about their day.
“I want to hear about the drama, the theatrics, the interesting meetings they’ve had. Numbers just aren’t my jam.”
Office managers
For someone who likes to live a little chaotically, Jana fears office managers would try and overly manage her life as well.
She said: “My home is eclectic there’s absolutely no order to it, I like to make plans on the fly, and the only lists I make are for groceries.
“I fear we would not have much in common.”
