Finance put one woman off because of the personality type she believes it attracts.
She explained: "High level, strategic sales positions, especially in finance. Men I've met who do this work have impossible huge and concrete egos, incredible manipulation skills, and are not afraid to count someone they love as collateral damage to get something else they want."
Others said that they'd be too worried and fearful to have a partner in the armed forces or police.

"I respect people within that field but I couldn't date/marry someone while constantly worrying if I would be widowed within the next couple years.
"Not only that, but I've met a lot of men who get this weird superiority complex while in the military," she said.
Another user said having a career at all was vital but shared her distaste at men working as strippers: "No career. Not being able to hold a job is a major red flag."
Another woman with experience of dating a stripper said it had put her off for life.
"I'm not against the job in and of itself, but I dated and even nearly married a stripper in my younger and dumber days and that lifestyle/mindset is something I'd never want to experience again," she revealed.
And an animal-lover shared shared how she couldn't date someone working in the meat industry.
"Slaughterhouse or really anything dealing with animals beyond taking care of them and loving them," she said.
"I couldn't be with someone knowing they harmed animals for a living. Even if they did it with mercy, I would just feel so heartbroken thinking about their job. Also, I don't think I could be morally compatible with someone who could do a job like that."
