Move Over Becks, Make Way For Danny O'Donoghue

Sorry Becks, women have rated musicians as the sexiest professions ... and 'vain and over-confident' footballers come last

Musicians took 32% of the votes while footballers got just 1% 

Financial sector workers came in second place 

Teachers, doctors and journalists also made the list

Previously it has been assumed that most women would jump at the opportunity to date David Beckham, but not if the latest research is anything to go by. 

A new survey asked women what they thought the sexiest profession was for a partner and the top result has been revealed as a musician or artist, while footballers come last with just 1 per cent of voters finding the athletic profession sexy. 

It's all in the voice: It was musicians like Danny O'Donoghue who women voted as having the sexiest profession with footballers coming in last (sorry David!)

Professional footballers earned their place at the bottom of the chart because women viewed them as over-confident, vain, self-absorbed and as having a bad reputation. Other professions that made the 'hot' list include teachers, doctors and writers/journalists. 

Teachers were described as inspiring, caring and interesting whilst doctors where seen to be professional, motivated and protective. Women also found writers/journalists attractive, describing them as creative, artistic and informed. 

So, despite not earning a footballers wage (But still a good wage) the musicians are the next to attract the most glamorous WAGS.

 'Men think confidence is sexy, what they don't realise is over-confidence can be incredibly off-putting, which is a trait most of the biggest football players have, sorry again Becks . 

'Women want someone they can have an emotional as well as physical connection, someone who is creative,  intelligent and motivated with and this is where musicians come into their own. They sing from the heart and women can feel it, this Irish accent is also a big draw according to our poll with various Irish pop star names coming up high in the list. It still seems that the big name right now is Danny O'Donoghue.
Danny burst onto our TV screens last year as the judge on 'The Voice' hardly anyone had heard of, but the Irish accent, the laugh, the fact that he is so energetic and passionate has women's pulse rates racing.

'It appears that whilst footballers may be attractive on the pitch, off the pitch most women feel they would have little or nothing in common with them. So despite their fame and fortune, most women find their arrogance, and reputation as a real turn off.'
