Of all the eligible men to date in the UK, what about the doorman category? Are there perks to dating a guy who gets paid to keep people out of buildings? Perhaps this is one man you’ve overlooked for reasons unknown.
Well, if you want to know what some of the perks are to dating a doorman, here are four.
1. Doormen are natural protectors
When you walk down the road with the love of your life, you want to know he’ll keep you safe. This is a given when your dating a doorman because they’re in the role of being a guard every day. Doormen are on guard to protect a building, its contents, and the people inside. With this constant focus on safety, you can bargain on it being his second nature to keep you out of harm’s way as well. Door supervisor training involves learning skills to intervene in a dangerous situation physically, so you can also have peace of mind that your actions will have the best possible outcome.

Doormen are a building’s connection to the outside world. From acting in times of trouble to hailing a taxi, a doorman knows just how to approach the situation. So if you’re in desperate need of an ingredient for your next romantic meal with him, he’s sure to know exactly where to get it—and at an affordable price as well.
3. A good doorman understands conflict
You may be apprehensive about having conflict with the person you’re dating. When you’re dating a doorman, however, you don’t have to walk on eggshells to evade an uncomfortable discussion. To obtain a door supervisor licence, doormen are trained on how to manage conflict. So any conflict between the two of you can be resolved through dynamic communication, which forms part of any doorman’s training program. As a woman, you’re always in need of being listened to, and a good doorman is capable of doing just that.
4. Doormen make friends easily
There’s no reason to fear awkward silences between the two of you or when he meets your circle of friends. Doormen spend their lives connecting with people. They keep people out of buildings, but they also have to make the ones who enter feel welcome. So there are more than enough people skills and emotional intelligence in a doorman’s personality to put everyone around him at ease.
