I'm only being light hearted. But do you ever get curious what It would be like to be with a different type of man. Not to cheat or anything. Just a curious to what's the difference.

I'm with a lovely man who works with computers. So he's not an outdoorsy man really. He likes a walk. But he isnt into sport apart from formula one. He's a really hands on dad. Does a little around the house but he's useless at keeping tidy. he happily pops anywhere to get anything and he's very caring. But he is not one of those blokes that cuts the grass regular. Gets on with painting (I always have to do it to get him to help) and he's not a drinker or one of the lads if that makes sense. He's always moaning he's tired and if he cuts the grass his backs gone for the rest of the day lol!

I have some workmen outside doing a driveway. Group of 6. They are very blokey. Smoking.(not saying this is attractive lol) working hard for 10 hours a day lifting and digging etc. I can't help but think ooo they look manly. It's just something about an outdoorsy tradesman.

Probably making myself sound a horrible person. I just sometimes wonder what it would be like to be with the more man's man man 😂

I want to make it clear I'm happy but appreciating the flexing muscles outside and the dirty white t shirts 😂😂

I mean, you've got to admit a tree surgeon is generally more attractive than a tax inspector Grin

FallonsTeaRoom · 11/09/2020 08:41

Be careful what you wish for.

Shoregirl8 · 11/09/2020 08:43

@leafeater

If we are going to generalize. The group of men are called Steve , his main occupation after work is getting pissed ,so pissed he often wets the bed and laughs about , because he knows his long standing missus will put up with it. Any one want to carry the ' dream boys ' story on Smile ?

Bellyfullofbiscuits · 11/09/2020 08:44

Sorry 'one of the group of men'

I’d like someone who likes to dance all night.... instead of playing xbox! Don’t get me wrong he’s a hard worker and a good dad/husband. I’d also like a smaller tummy and bigger boobs for me . Basically humans would always like an upgrade!

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 11/09/2020 08:46

He smokes and gambles and lives his life in debt with credit cards coming out his arse.

whatswithtodaytoday · 11/09/2020 08:47

It would be exactly like being with any other man, except he'd expect you to do all the cooking and cleaning and he'd be out on the piss with his mates all the time.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 11/09/2020 08:49

There's definetly something attractive there. But then I remind myself that these kind of men never care if you orgasm.

Shoregirl8 · 11/09/2020 08:51

Yeah i don't want to own one haha. Wouldn't be able to get the dirt out their work clothes. Can't even get mud out my toddlers t-shirts. lol.

I’d like to think some of the replies are light hearted and not snotty misconceptions about tradesmen, going by pp they’re all piss artists, in debt and shit in bed 🙄 because I’m sure no office guy has any of these traits 🙄

LoisWilkersonslastnerve · 11/09/2020 08:55

Have a lighthearted tradesman fantasy thread op but is there any need for the snotty replies? Some vile stereotypes about working class menHmm

That's bloody awful.Angry My DH is a builder (retired) called Dave. He's flipping lovely.

I've reported your comment

If someone does a physical job all week doesn't mean they want to come home and do physical jobs at home. Your vagina doesn't stop you cutting grass, just as your husband's penis doesn't stop him doing laundry. Would it be ok for him to ogle your attractive female tradesperson? Men would get ripped to shreds for posting similar to this in reverse.

Shoregirl8 · 11/09/2020 08:59

My dad is a builder and landscaper. The men in my family are farmers and builders mostly. So no judgment from me. My dad's called Mick 😂 treats my mum absolutely fine and no drink issues. he's a grafter.

My point is they look like grafters. Manly and hard working. Didn't mean to cause any mean comments. It was only meant in a nice way.

The comments about working class tradesmen getting pissed, gambling, being sexually selfish etc are disgusting.
I work with sex offenders and domestic abuse perpetrators, plenty of them are 'nice white collar professionals'

SBTLove · 11/09/2020 09:00

Tbf nearly all the shit husband threads are men in ‘high powered jobs’ 🤣
My joiner DH is tee total and probably more house proud than me 🤣 oh and best ride ever 🤣

Where do you think they got the idea for the Diet Coke Break ad?

I love a good window shopping expedition
