And there's no convincing me otherwise.

AIBU?

I mean, that's not an imaginary combo. Keep the faith.

I do. And drool after any that I see. But they're always taken so...

Whatever floats your boat OP.

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.

So, violent men turn you on?

Ah yes, Tom Hardy…that well known working class guy 😂

OP is working class, basically.

Nothing wrong with that, but that's why you are more attracted to working class blokes.

Thefsm · 18/10/2025 23:14

I’ve never really considered class as a factor in dating but I am drawn to bookish intellectual types over physical manual labour types so I guess a strong muscles plumber or builder wouldn’t do it for me while a gawky librarian or a scientist does.

Much prefer the more rugged, practical types. The wimpy drips at the office did nothing for me - they looked down on the ‘tradies’ who were working there from time to time but us women were lusting after them 😉

Well, only if we're being ridiculously pedantic about it @Zov.

You didn't ask it as a question. You posted it as a statement.

Show quote history

That's how I read it. That's why I said YABU to @User3365237 'Working class men are the most attractive' is an opinion, not a fact.

Westfacing · 18/10/2025 19:59

For those who like a Tradie I think a Pimlico Plumber is the way to go. not Charlie Mullins obviously

I saw one yesterday, trousers with all the pockets etc., sorting out his tools at the back of the van. He was a very fit 40-something, and being a PP no doubt had a few bob!

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

Yes, tough on the outside, soft inside @JJWT.

I'm not actually in the market, so to speak @JJMama.

Show quote history

Totally understand where you are coming from. TH yep yep yep. DD not so much for me. I think you're leaning towards buff/hunk/a touch rough but hopefully gentle!!! (Too far?!) I lean towards troubled and hot! (Or do i mean trouble, without the d?!) For example my favourite council estate boy is Noel G... Oh. My. God. School of hard knocks boys. Understand life. Oh yes. Fun thread.

I didn’t think I’d ever had a preference until i worked in a prep (independent) school. The silver spoon ex-boarder male colleagues were bizarre! Skinny (think ankles the size of a wrist), brightly coloured trousers with “jazzy socks”. They were also overly dramatic and highly misogynistic.

I’ve never thought of him as posh and I don’t think he has a posh accent.

I suppose it depends on who you are comparing him to.

Show quote history

He’s not at all ‘posh’. Standard-issue MC, I’d have said.
