Working class men are the most attractive

[User3365237]

And there's no convincing me otherwise.

AIBU?

But being a 'rugged type on a building site' doesn't equate to 'working class'.

If you mean 'men who do physical jobs' then say so. Plenty of working class men aren't manual labourers and certainly aren't 'rugged'.

Where were all these handsome tradies when I was getting my house renovated then? The ones I got were balding middle aged men with pot bellies. Lovely blokes and impressive skills, but visually attractive? Sadly, no.

Vom. Hard to believe he has fathered about six children.

I think we’ve got a few different interpretations of what the op means by ‘working class man’ here.
I had a vision of thin, slightly malnourished from childhood man with bad genetics eg thin lips eyes too close together, small head = small brain and not very bright. I realise this sounds absolutely terrible as I’m writing this and I’m probably very wrong 🤣 I apologise in advance.

.

The shirt offsets it though. And the right watch

Not for me, if the arms are crap then it just doesn't work.

@Uricon2 doesn't do it for me physically but his character is attractive in the show

Well most can’t even decide on how to define working class. Are you sexually attracted to men on lower incomes or men whose parents were on lower incomes?

A tidy tradie is a sight for sore eyes when you need a carpenter, sparks or a plumber. The ancient plasterer's mate who was so arthritic he regularly had to be helped up off the ground -- rather less appealing. I worried about him.

😂😂😂

Thanks op for the good laugh

op, wc men are the most attractive
mumsnet, like who
op well the most middle class one out there, Tom hardy

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

Working class men - too vague.

Men that work with their hands - I AM WITH YOU. I am the daughter of a builder, I grew up with a house full of labourers, and before health & safety went mad*, they were invariably topless.

It's formative.

I find strong men that can fix things very attractive.

*Only kidding. Wear sunscreen folks.

Loool this thread is now actually about women fantasising about sexy, rugged men with big, strong hands.... yummy

Tom Hardy went to fee paying independent schools and is not working class in the way Danny Dyer is

Actually, quite a lot. Though there are many exceptions.

Absolutely this, with bells on.

Yes, I understand! His appearance is deceptive. You would feel totally safe with him in a dodgy situation.

I do like an intellectual, articulate man with a regional accent. With slight preference for Northern but Welsh also good.

Hands and arms are my thing

Yes.

My late husband started out as working class and finished up as a teacher. He had the best male chest I've ever seen, whatever class he was. [/shallow]

He was also my best friend and the love of my life.

Depends. I work with men predominantly. In a manual role. Not many are actually tall, muscular or perfectly built. Most are short, balk, fat or if tall, very skinny....

My one is a public school boy and is nothing short of Apollo

I also agree

One of the best looking men I ever dated was 6'2, wore a suit, degree when it was less usual than today, "middle class" job, quite a stereotypically "aristocratic" look (in a good way) He was also rightly proud of his descent from generations of miners and had a DH Lawrence accent that would have made Lady Chatterley's Mellors sound like a 1930s BBC announcer.

My late DH was an East End boy who was naturally muscular (without effort) but loved literature and worked very hard to get the education worthy of him. Now DH very middle class background and job, boarding school, every advantage from birth but certainly had the muscly, sporty look in his youth (prop forward)

What all these men had in common was/is being intelligent, kind and funny and those attributes have nothing to do with social class.

We’ve completely renovated our house, inside and hard standing outside. And I can categorically say, all those builders, tradesman etc dozens of tnem. not one of them looked like Tom bloody hardy, and I can also say, I didn’t find one of them physically attractive. Because quite frankly they were not fit attracrtive specimens of men. We had hairy, flabby, baldy, chubby, the lot. Sometimes all together. 😂

I also don’t see women loitering round building sites drooling either. Most scuttle past hoping no one wolf whistles.

But then I don’t fancy the bank manager or school teachers either. When a man is attracrtive its to do with many things, appearance, grooming, intellect, kindness, empathy, masculinity, physique, and absolutely nothing to do with what work he does or his perceived class.

I’ve never had workmen doing anything in my house that I have found remotely attractive.

I think some people have read too many bodice rippers 😁

Having said that, most of my dating history has been WC but they all ended up as shit as the MC ones.
