Architects have been voted the sexiest male professionals in a survey of women's ideal partners.
The survey, conducted by the introduction agency Drawing Down the Moon, found that women favoured architects “due to the esteem associated with the profession”.
Architects are seen as being “balanced and rounded individuals who combine a creative approach with a caring, thoughtful disposition”, the survey found. It concluded: “Their ability to cope with pressure of work in a relaxed manner was also deemed to be a significant plus.”
Male architects beat stockbrokers, doctors, film directors and teachers on the top spot.
However female members of the profession fared less well and did not feature in the top 10 out of male preferences.
RIBA president David Rock commented that architects were probably unaware of their animal magnetism: “Architects were probably the only group on the list whose self-image is lower than their public image”, he said, but added: “Mind you, you have to question the veracity of any list that includes drama teachers”.
RIBA Architecture Gallery director Alicia Pivaro, who is married to architect Paul Monaghan, said she thaugt male architects were highly attractive: “Being married to the architecture's Mr Sexy, I would have to agree.”
But she was surprised at the failiure of women architects to appear on the list. “All the ones I know are very sexy”, she said.
Men instead voted PR executives the sexiest profession for females, followed by actresses and journalists.
I don't get the "balanced and rounded individuals." I would like to meet that guy, because all the architects I've known have been obsessive. Granted, that is in an academic environment, but still.
i did read an article recently about artistic types being more sexually active than other more straight-laced professions....
am kind of disappointed though that men didn't see female architects as a top sexy profession...but then again i would assume that "super model" would be the ultimate winner of that category...
Thats funny - I was at a bar in Chicago last year after work probably looking more like a broker and when in conversation with a pleasent looking Trixie I told her I was an Architect, I watched her face sag with disappointment as she said only, "Oh".
ah, but aren't all trixies pretty much just gold diggers? i thought that the whole premise of being a trixie was just to find a rich man to toy around with. she had probably done the whole architect thing.
Hmm. Well, if maybe I met a landscape architect like Mark Ruffalo (not the most generous screenshot from A.T.) ...
Otherwise ... I dunno. I'm surprised musician didn't make the top of the list. I mean, what girl wouldn't swoon for this boy? Hands off! He's MINE mine mine swoon ............
Pirate seems like a sexy profession. Or maybe a figure drawer that wants to draw you? Requisite scene for every cheesy chick-flick.
i might be mistaken, but i believe this is a photo of a very young brad pitt in one of his early experimental films...called the leaf blower, it was made in canada and it is ostensibly where he first met frank gehry
personally, i've become very fond of the fsu cowgirls...
i think i went to the wrong school...
by the way, jenn (on the right in the latter photo) wants to be a lawyer and is currently without a boyfriend because they can't seem to handle her sudden fame...no wwwwword on whether or not she digggggs architecccccts
dammmmnn........whyyyy arrrrree these keys sudddddenllllly stickkkkkinggggg????
hello cowgirl in the sand

Wow...women really ARE out of touch with reality.
“due to the esteem associated with the professionâ€. Whaaaa?
By the way, anyone know the source of the article?
well that really makes me more confident, though, but the 80 % of women i know have no clue wath an architect does
the article is from about 1998 and I think it came out in BD (UK)... Check this news item...
I don't get the "balanced and rounded individuals." I would like to meet that guy, because all the architects I've known have been obsessive. Granted, that is in an academic environment, but still.
"ability to cope with pressure of work in a relaxed manner...."
Right... we're all so cool as cucumbers.
I stopped reading when I got to the part that read...
"you have to question the veracity of any list that includes drama teachersâ€.
Call me elitist, but Drama Teachers?!
apparently it was done by some professional match-making service in the UK.
and just to note i thought this thread was about this:
i did read an article recently about artistic types being more sexually active than other more straight-laced professions....
am kind of disappointed though that men didn't see female architects as a top sexy profession...but then again i would assume that "super model" would be the ultimate winner of that category...
Thats funny - I was at a bar in Chicago last year after work probably looking more like a broker and when in conversation with a pleasent looking Trixie I told her I was an Architect, I watched her face sag with disappointment as she said only, "Oh".
Maybe "Trixie" was an interior decorator?
ah, but aren't all trixies pretty much just gold diggers? i thought that the whole premise of being a trixie was just to find a rich man to toy around with. she had probably done the whole architect thing.
I wonder what the sexiest male profession is to female architects? Think it would still be architect?
But here it is, erin --
the big bang theory of art ...
yeah this is all great but what about the riddler-suit man?
This female architect would find a carpenter to be sexiest. One who would build me everything of which I dream.
Heather, you need to also answer your own question please!
aren't anchormen supposed to be the sexiest?
and bossman, where did you get those clothes?...at the toilet store?
i'm not sure if you know me, but i am kind of a big deal.
i have many leather bound books.
my appartment smells of rich mahogony
i have found i am seen as "sexiest" when i wear some SEX PANTHER.
it is made with real bits of panther, so YOU know its good!
riddler-suit man! yeah!
Hmm. Well, if maybe I met a landscape architect like Mark Ruffalo (not the most generous screenshot from A.T.) ...
Otherwise ... I dunno. I'm surprised musician didn't make the top of the list. I mean, what girl wouldn't swoon for this boy? Hands off! He's MINE mine mine swoon ............

Well, of course Heather I forgot to mention that my dream sexy carpenter looks like this:
Can I borrow your tape.....?
My ideal profession of a sexy man is...
where did you get that pic Lib Bell??????
Anyways, it is.... a writer, I guess. A master of language.
, of course.
Brad is a master of body language, Strawbeary! Screw words....
I'm speechless myself
YOWZAAA
may i remind you ladies, you are married :(
oh
that's right.
and my man beats brad any day!
my brad pitt. only my brad pitt seems to be in better films...
oh and my george clooney...
What was this thread about again? I got lost in the pics of beautiful people.
And 12 Mokeys was a good film.
Heather, I actually know an architect who looks JUST like that andrew bird dude! weird...
i might be mistaken, but i believe this is a photo of a very young brad pitt in one of his early experimental films...called the leaf blower, it was made in canada and it is ostensibly where he first met frank gehry
