Working class men are the most attractive

[User3365237]

And there's no convincing me otherwise.

AIBU?

I’ve always liked arty creative types, and they need to be intelligent - ideally highly intelligent. I’ve never fancied builders. I’m more Louis Theroux than Danny Dyer.

Tom Hardy who was born in an affluent London suburb, whose parents were an artist and a writer and who was privately educated? That's quite a broad definition for "working class"!

But that aside, I think it's one thing to find someone attractive in the abstract, as opposed to finding someone attractive for a relationship. It's also fairly common for people to fancy people they would never consider a relationship with. So yes, I think rugged outdoorsy builder types are attractive, but I am married to a University educated city boy 😁

Baking in the sun all day vs sitting in an office all day

Working class men don't always work outside do they?

Totally subjective but I admit I do get weak at the knees at the sight of a fit tradesman type.

Give me a builder over an office man any day

So you don’t mean working-class men at all, you mean builders or trades who work on construction sites and who present as ‘rugged’? Which is not all of them.

We’ve been having a significant house renovation done since late July and we must have had upwards of 30 different men onsite from the structural engineer, foreman, labourers, plasterers, block workers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, flooring guys etc. Could not have been nicer, but again, the majority of them unlikely to meet your definition of ‘rugged’.

And the most obviously ‘rugged’ (muscles, lots of tattoos, shaven head) was a plasterer who spent his days singing along in a falsetto voice to the eighties classics station while wearing those stilts.

Wit, charm and intelligence are not confined to different classes.

@reversingdumptruckwithnotyreson I don't see it. Good looking faces are genetic luck & unfortunately not that common

Sorry to break it to you but Tom Hardy is fairly posh by almost any standard. He's just found a very lucrative niche in working-class cosplay.

Oh yes, love seeing my husband in his orange hi Vis trousers with all the pockets and his steel toe cap boots all filthy. Nothing sexier🥰

I'm with you with Tom Hiddleston

Yes, not into him personally as it would be robbing the cradle somewhat, but when watching his dancing I think I could be somewhat persuaded🫣🤫

The average male on a building site will have a better body then the men in my office but face matters to me.

No it doesn’t and it’s just crashing snobbery to stereotype anyone who has a manual job and a regional accent as thick and below them.

I value emotional intelligence a million miles above academic qualifications and some of the smartest most engaging men I’ve met are tradesmen

Just face facts they’re baking in that sun a lot more than a man with an office job.

like I said though I’m not being a snob I was an underclass harlot my whole adult life until I married a man with an office job last year.

builder type men I just don’t see the appeal tbh

Why are you treating "working class men" as if they're some sort of homogenous blob and not individuals, with individual appearances / behaviours / values / attractiveness?

Maybe change your statement to physical attractiveness.

Tom Hardy is very much my type but most men regardless of class don't look like him!

OP do you mean that men who do a hard manual job are the most attractive? As that’s not all working class men. Tom Hardy isn’t working class!

Interesting I find an RP accent really unattractive. I love a gentle north lancs twang, a Durham accent or West Scots. Can't stand Essex, Estuary, RP, Bolton or Brum No idea why though.

No thanks. Give me a crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled up over that any day.

What? 😂

"Strong in the arm and thick in the 'ead" tends to have been my preference in the past.

I don't think there's a markable difference until you get to the upper echelons of society where generations of inbreeding have taken their toll and you have a bunch of Habsburgs

Hmmm I totally get where you’re coming from op. But it’s a massive generalisation!

Weedy posh thin lipped public school boys - no!
Even a posh accent is quite unattractive IMO.

But DH is big, beefy, went to private school, ex rugby player, doesn’t sound posh, is very intelligent, sweary, funny, kind and cooks. So, I guess I got the best of both here ?!

Everyone likes different things. You may find construction workers attractive some women like man in suits 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ not sure what is here to discuss.

@seaelephant I like a strong jaw, just not that strong.
