“I’ll have another round please!” Women Declare Bartenders as the UK’s Sexiest Workers

Bartenders, throw your towel cloths in the air and wave them like you just don’t care – you’ve just been voted the UK’s sexiest workers! The news comes from a survey by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading and longest running dating site for married people.

Of the 2000 women who were surveyed, 15% declared their infatuation for Britain’s bartenders. Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters, Christian Grant, said: “Bartenders are hot. Bars, pubs and clubs are always conscious of their employees’ appearance, so it’s no surprise to find that these venues are the perfect melting pot of buff men.”

Lily, a 30-year-old actress from London, said: “A muscular guy in a tight shirt serving me alcohol…sounds like I’ve died and gone to heaven!”

Grant adds: “It can get a little too awkward for bartenders sometimes. When you’ve got guys and gals vying for your attention left right and center, it can make the already difficult task of serving drinks to a packed venue a little unbearable.

It’s particularly bad around the Christmas period. Everybody is a little too jolly, with bartenders having to carry out the odd bloke or two who’ve overestimated their ability to hold their drink, having that one Jägerbomb too many.”

Not far behind bartenders on IllicitEncounters’ survey were gardeners, closely followed by fire officers.

The full results are available below:

Sexiest Profession	Percentage
Bartender	15%
Gardener	13%
Fire Officer	12%
Lifeguard	11%
Musician	10%
Other	10%
Artist	9%
Teacher	7%
Chef	6%
Doctor	4%
Entrepreneur	3%

It’s not all fun and games, however, as the unsexiest professions were also revealed.

If you’re a truck or bus driver, I’m afraid you’ve received the unwanted accolade of least sexy profession in the UK.

“What is less sexy than driving a bus or a truck? Nothing, apparently,” says Grant. “We’re all appreciative of the work that these people do, but that doesn’t translate well when it comes to how hot we perceive them to be.”

Among the truck and bus drivers were waste collectors, traffic wardens, and funeral directors.

Unsexiest Profession	Percentage
Truck/Bus Driver	16%
Waste Collector	15%
Traffic Warden	13%
Funeral Director	11%

Women Vote the Scottish Accent as the Sexiest, But It’s Bad News If You’re from Essex

It’s the luck of the…Scottish? Yes, a quarter of British women have declared the Scottish accent as the sexiest, trumping the previous winner, the Irish accent.

In a poll conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, the Scots trumped their neighbours with 25% of the vote. IllicitEncounters’ spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains: “A thick, deep accent exudes manliness, and on that criteria, the Scots have left the rest comfortably behind.”

“The popularity of the Scottish accent is also in no small part thanks to the array of Scottish actors, from Gerard Butler to David Tennant, and James McAvoy to Ewan McGregor; hot guys, hot voices,” added Grant.

Despite being knocked off their perch, the Irish accent still remained a popular choice among women, solidifying second place with 20% of the vote. It’s bad news however for the Essex contingent, with just 3% of women finding the dulcet tones of an Essex lad sexy.

“TOWIE might dominate the ratings, but that doesn’t necessarily translate well for blokes,” said Grant.

“The Essex accent can often be associated with the Joey Essex’s of this world and, for reasons best left unsaid, that isn’t a good thing.”

The full results for the sexiest male accent are as follows:

Accent (Male)	Percentage
Scottish	25%
Irish	20%
Posh	13%
Welsh	12%
Liverpudlian	9%
Manchester	8%
Spanish	6%
Other	4%
Essex	3%

But it’s not all good news for the Scots; they might have dominated the male charts, but they didn’t fare so well in the female category, with men preferring a more European pallet. The French accent topped the men’s choice for the sexiest accent, closely followed by Spanish and Italian accents.

Connor, a 37 year-old sales manager from Watford, said: “A French accent is synonymous with elegance, class and romance…not to mention it’s unbelievably sexy!”

“The French accent is undeniably appealing because of what it represents: French cuisine, haute couture, style – French women possess this inimitable appeal that men find hard to resist,” explained Grant.

The full results for the sexiest female accent are as follows:

Accent (Female)	Percentage
French	31%
Spanish	24%
Italian	16%
Posh	11%
Irish	7%
Scottish	7%
Other	4%

Naughty, Not Nice – The Five Christmas Gifts That Indicate You Might Be Dating An Adulterer

Has your partner been naughty or nice this year? You won’t need Santa’s help for this one, just take a peek at their Christmas list. The advice comes from the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com, who surveyed over 1500 of its members to find out the gifts that top their Christmas lists.

IllicitEncounters’ survey found that men were most keen on the following gifts this Christmas:

5. Underwear – 10%

“With the amount of adverts featuring hot, well-built blokes, it’s easy to understand why a man might consider a pair of CK briefs as a must-buy this Christmas,” explains IllicitEncounters’ spokesperson, Christian Grant.

“Although women will undoubtedly be more impressed, or not as the case may be, by what’s underneath, it hasn’t stopped the 10% of our respondents who are hoping to unwrap some designer briefs on the 25th”.

 

4. Fitbit– 17%

“After years of lazing around the house caressing his gut, your man has decided to slim down, but there’s a good chance that he isn’t doing it for you,” claims Grant.

“This epiphany isn’t a coincidence – there’s a good chance that an extramarital relationship is what’s driving him”.

 

3. Fragrance – 20%

“Has your man upgraded from a £5 Adidas cologne to the latest from Christian Dior? It might be worth keeping an eye on,” says Grant.

 

2. New Phone – 22%

Male or female, young or old, mobile phones always prove to be among the most popular gifts at Christmas year in, year out. But doesn’t your partner already have a phone? Why would he need another? Grant explains: “So many men purchase a ‘burn phone’ to use solely to contact their extramarital partner. Ask yourself: is his current phone working perfectly? Did he only purchase it recently? And now he wants a new one? Alarm bells should be ringing, ladies.”

 

1. Designer Clothes – 23%

“Whether it’s designer brands or a brand new suit, every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man, so don’t be surprised to see your partner asking for an entirely new wardrobe this Christmas,” claims Grant.

IllicitEncounters also surveyed its female members and found similar results. “Male or female, affair-seekers all have the same thing in common: they want to look good, feel good and keep their illicit relationship as discreet as possible,” says Grant, “…so it’s not surprising to see that a new phone, perfume and some irresistible lingerie ranked high among our female members’ Christmas lists”.

The full results are available below:

Gift	Percentage of Men
Underwear	10%
Fitbit	17%
Fragrance	20%
New Phone	22%
Designer Clothes	23%
Other	8%

 

Gift	Percentage of Women
High Heels	8%
Jewellery	19%
New Phone	20%

Uh-oh…Over HALF of Workers Admit to Hooking Up at the Christmas Party!

2015 is ending with a bang – in some cases, literally so. IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, can reveal that over half of workers have hooked up in some form or another with a co-worker at the work Christmas party.

Of the 2000 workers that responded to the survey, 55% admitted to having engaged in some sort of illicit activity with a co-worker. Of that 55%, 30% said that they’d drunkenly kissed a co-worker, 15% went home with a co-worker, while the remaining 10% admitted to going the distance and sleeping with a co-worker.

IllicitEncounters’ spokesperson, Christian Grant, explained: “Woops. A Christmas Party is the perfect breeding ground for office shenanigans. You work with these people day in, day out, so, naturally, a bond is established – you like them, even on a basic level. Add in a mix of alcohol and good music, and you’ve got a relaxed atmosphere, ripe for inebriated workers to subvert their inhibitions, let loose, and attempt to take their relationship with their co-worker to something more than it should be.”

Although not every worker found themselves pairing up with a colleague, they found other ways to ensure that they woke up the following morning with feelings of regret. 10% admitted to stripping off in some capacity, with a further 13% confessing a secret that they wish they hadn’t. One thing’s for certain, plenty were left a little worse for wear, with 20% admitting to pulling a sickie the following morning to nurse a hangover.

To make matters worse, the survey found that nearly 30% of workers used the opportunity to confront their boss and give them a piece of their mind, or even try to charm their way to a promotion or pay rise.

“There are going to be quite a few awkward conversations in a number of offices over the next month,” says Grant. “Under certain circumstances, all semblance of reality and order is lost, and workers often think that a jovial atmosphere allows them to take a few digs at their boss, and say things that they normally wouldn’t even dream of saying. The result? They take it too far, forgetting that there are consequences to their actions.”

“If there’s something that needs to be said to your boss, save it for a professional occasion – they will most definitely dismiss your drunken ramblings.”
