Teachers, followed by artists and
then chefs, may be hot commodities on the dating
market this February 14, according to recent research of more than 800 single adults. In the January
2004 research, Online Dating sites asked singles to select the
profession that made for the "sexiest and most
ideal Valentine." Teachers
topped the list with 12% of singles indicating they
were the sexiest and most ideal, followed by artists
with 11% and chefs with 9%. Lawyers scored the lowest,
with
only 2% of singles finding them sexy and ideal as a
Valentine.</p>

and often selfless people, working long hours to educate
our children and make all of our lives better -- certainly
demonstrating a generosity of spirit that many of us
find attractive," said Trish McDermott, Vice President
of Romance and resident dating expert In other recent research married people were
most likely to say that "quality of character" was
the number
one reason they fell in love with their spouse.</p>
