There was a time when a man in uniform set female hearts aflutter. The situation hasn't changed, but today that uniform is a well-tailored business suit, silk tie and the perceived accompanying executive income.

When judging professional positions, the sexiest men in America today are corporate CEOs and entrepreneurs, according to online dating site WhatsYourPrice.com. Women always have been attracted to successful men, but a recent survey by the dating-for-dollars website qualified that assumption.

The website, which offers dating auction services, polled 145,000 of its male users to find out which professions attracted the most date offers. The top 10 professions by title are:

1. CEO / Entrepreneur  98%

2. Financial Advisor  96%

3. Software Developer  93%

4. Lawyer  90%

5. Business Consultant  88%

6. Physician  87%

7. Real Estate Developer  85%

8. Marketing / Ad Executive  83%  

9. Architect  78%

10. Engineer  72%

Entrepreneurs made up 25% of the male users on the website and the study showed these men topped the list with the highest percentage of date offers.

“Doctors and lawyers are successful, no doubt,” WhatsYourPrice.com CEO/founder Brandon Wade said. “But women find it sexier when a man takes great risks to successfully build his own business from the ground up.”
