You ask this 12 pages in? @Jackiepumpkinhead Lol.

‘Lol’ 🙄 you think I read 12 pages of your Lady Chatterley’s lover nonsense.

I'm interested in what other people think. This is a discussion forum is it not?

Your thread title isn’t a question, it’s a statement and you’ve said ‘there’s no convincing me otherwise’, so what’s the point of a discussion?

I’m happy for you and your plumber. Still, if ‘working-class men are the most attractive’ and your preferences or worldview draw you to a certain class, they’ll likely anchor you there, and no number of exceptional anecdotes changes the underlying probability.

Just as well I don't feel aligned with any particular social class, then.

ETA, sorry, I posted before you edited yours.

I've seen pictures of my plumbers beautifully renovated house (we were discussing flooring)

You could fit the entire ground floor of mine into his kitchen. He is not poor (he's also a very good plumber and deserves his success)

Good luck being poor.

As long as a man can speak properly, has good table manners and is polite, I don't really care which class he is from.

Well, or the subtle flirting was wishful thinking as no doctor worth his or her salt would flirt with a patient, the article on a condition resembling yours was pure coincidence, and he was driving down your road and stopped for some totally unrelated reason?

Again, it would be completely unethical for your doctor to purse a relationship with you, or to end his status as your doctor to pursue a relationship with you.

I accidentally posted on the wrong thread, it should have been the one where op wants to ask her doctor out! so have edited/deleted to avoid confusion.

But just to clarify... I live in a small complex of houses well off of a main road, it's not somewhere you would be passing, it's actually quite hard to find, so he wasn't there by chance, and he stopped momentarily at my actual numbered car parking spot, which I was standing a short distance away from then he drove off. I know it all sounds bat shit crazy and highly unethical , but I actually think he was having a mid life crisis - he was driving a Porsche after all!

AIBU?

Yeah, those mugs outside hotels are really attractive.

I dated a middle class guy who worked in finance. He had money and would treat me and take me out to nice restaurants and bars which I’m not gonna lie I really enjoyed at the start. He had goals and a life plan and I was attracted to that. But he was also controlling, and soon the nice gestures felt transactional. He would make me feel like my job was inferior to his oh so important one. He also assumed he was more intelligent than me (he wasn’t.) And would snap and argue with me and use the excuse of work stress to justify how he would talk to me. He would completely fall apart if he would need to do something around the house.

I also dated a tradie. He was a laugh and so much more easy going. Could fix anything round the house which was a massive turn on. He was more outgoing and made more effort with my friends and family. He didn’t really have a life plan as such, and was more a live in the moment type of person, which was fun while it lasted. He was funny, and charming and cheeky. Unfortunately he used these qualities on other women when we were together, so I had to end it when I found out he’d been meeting them behind my back.

Overall, I was happier with the tradie. But in the end they both treated me like shit. I don’t know what the point of this story is. Maybe that men from any background can be arseholes? And little girls should be encouraged more to learn diy or a trade.

You're not wrong.

Middle to upper class men (to me) look like sappy wet lettuces who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.

Some really do 🤣🤣🤣

AgnesX · 19/10/2025 11:43

Some are, some aren't. Just like anyone else.

Don't know Tom Hardy but couldn't listen to Danny Dyer for more than 5 minutes. That said, I'm sure he plays the accent up.

Benedict Cumberbatch. Case closed.

Benedict Cumberbatch is not conventionally good looking but still very attractive to me.

Two words. James. Norton!

Agree, but not sure he counts here. Grandson of an Archdeacon and descended from Irish landed gentry.

To posters lacking a sense of humour, I haven't stated middle/upper class men are unattractive. They're lovely too in their own way, just not as attractive on a personal level.

I wonder what the OP and those agreeing with her would think of men saying they much prefer middle class women - working class women are so rough.

Indeed. Or, for that matter, MC men agreeing that they prefer WC women because of their tattoos, capacity for manual work, and being well ‘ard in a fight?

Not especially. I used to work in a shop where all the roofers etc would rock up for their morning coffees, Monster, Red Bull whatever & the majority looked like they'd slept in a ditch the night before. But then so did a lot of 'middle class' men just later in the morning. One of my colleagues was always drooling over customers though so I imagine it's all a matter of standards taste.
