Working class men are the most attractive

[User3365237]

And there's no convincing me otherwise.

AIBU?

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
true dat

You have the best handle I’ve ever seen in my life

I'm really attracted to the Made In Chelsea, floppy haired, Hugh Grant types. It's just what floats my boat.

Stereotypical working class men absolutely don't/didn't do it for me (unless they happened to be also Latino).

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

But surely it's what the arms look like under the shirt or is the actual shirt you like?

When you say working class do you mean tradesmen types? Or any working class like a chap that works 40 hours a week in Tesco?

also I don’t think anyone on this thread has equated intelligence to class most people who have mentioned intelligence have said that they prioritise intelligence irrespective of class.

i like a nice face, intelligence and humour above all and i don’t care what class you are as long as you can hold a conversation and we have similar sense of humour!

Used to be when I was younger, and physically a man in tradie clothes IS attractive but not if he’s a bone head. There’s loads of men attractive for all different reasons, I like all sorts 😂 My GP is attractive in an entirely different way.

I have to admit I find all the men on Made in Chelsea extremely unattractive. I went to a private school and grammar school and consider myself lower middle class. A cheeky northern , working class lad with high cheekbones is my type! No idea why…

I married the exact opposite but my next door neighbour is a very successful carpenter and I do get a bit swoon-y when I see him doing projects in his garage/driveway.

Dh is a vet. But can’t do diy at all. He obviously is skilled in other ways .

OK Lady Chatterley , I'll play along . An accomplished man is always an attractive mam. Be that in the arts , science or plumbing . Personally I find a man who can do at least general DIY quite a catch.

Nah.

Give me Richard Armitage from about 10 years ago.

There's definitely a stereotype WC face type and a stereotype MC face type though. Obviously not every person has it. But I think it appears enough in the respective social classes for it to have become a stereotype.
Show most people a picture of a fine featured, pale faced, soft skinned man and one of a square jawed, tanned, very masculine man and ask which is WC and most would say the second. Its enough of a pattern to have become a stereotype.
When people say WC men are attractive they are thinking of this look. Not the over weight, beer bellied, hairy arse crack missing a few teeth 50 year old guy who's laying their neighbours new drive.

I'm seeing that the op is referring to men who graft for a living.
If that means a lean but heavily muscled physique with hands like shovels then I can certainly see the attraction.

I think you just have to take each person as they come.

Theres some absoluetely daft comments on this thread.

Plenty of working class men who hit every branch on the fugly tree when they fell. Same with middle class men.

And thank fuck we don't all fancy the same people.

Are you Germaine Greer?

‘Excuse me mr builder, you have lovely eyes. Where did you go to school and what do your parents do for a living?’

Would the boiler suit still be a turn on if he got a good education and his parents have middle class jobs.

Tom Hardy often plays what might be described as 'working class roles', but he himself is pretty posh, as others have said above.

Outside of sport, you won't find too many working class celebrities these days.

I couldn't give a shit about class, it's the person. I love DH because he's funny, kind and lovely.

My husband is this combo, you have to date a middle-class professional from a working-class background. I like a bit of rough, but not that rough.

I have been out with educated men who were manipulative and overly status
conscious in that very unattractive ' insecure middle class ' way you sometimes get. I was quite put off by them. I have now been with a wc man for 8 years , who is super bright, very moral and incredibly funny. I dont think you can generalise, but that has been my personal experience.. I hated the sly, sliminess of ghe middle class men I went out with. All hussling for position and overly sensitive about what other people think.

lean but heavily muscled physique with hands like shovels

Yes indeedy @MO0N.

Mid 30s peak male attractiveness imo.

Working class probably wasn't the best wording. Maybe should have included a 'light-hearted' in there too for the uptight among us!

God no. I see the tradies in my local shop as there's a lot of building near me and they get their lunches there. They drive up in their dirty vans or trucks in their boots and shorts, they're rough as hell, talk far too loudly to each other, look like their idea of fun is 10 pints of lager and a fight. Dreadful.

If we are just talking "see them in the street and have to press my thighs together" hot, then yeah, love a dusty builder in hi-viz with muscles, tats, love a biker beard too, etc etc.

If we are talking dating/relationships, class is less relevant and for me it comes down to intelligence, kindness, sense of self irony, an open mind..... Looks are a factor too, but I find if I really like the guy then I start to love the way he looks, even if he isn't my usual "type".

I find any form of class prejudice (or any form of prejudice at all) a big turn off though, so if it's a middle or upper class guy who thinks he is innately superior to the working classes, he is not for me.

Plus, I am culturally pretty working class, witha strong regional accent, despite being fairly highly educated i suppose (I went to Oxford). I couldn't be in to a guy who judged my family, or my accent, or anything like that.....

Oh, I thought you were talking about the 'rugged' types in GOT, gritty and battle worn! Building site types are pretend <hoiks bossom>

I judge on a case by case basis. I do however LOVE a hard hat and tool belt.

I definitely find the rugged, rough and ready, could handle themselves in a fight look attractive.
I hadn't associated it with a particular class though. It's just my type of man 😂.
