Working class men are the most attractive

And there's no convincing me otherwise.

AIBU?

@surreygirlyyou do know rugby (union at least) is actually an upper class sport? They play it at private schools. Football is for the masses.

🤣🤣🤣

Exactly 👍

Rugby as a sport started at a private school but it's commonly played at state schools too. I played it at a comprehensive back in the 80s as did my DS in the 2010s.

That’s how I feel about Danny Dyer or some sweaty builder on a building site!

Reminds me of when I called the police to my neighbours house thinking they were being burgled because I’d spotted a couple of very shady looking blokes casing her property, only to be told that they were roofers and coming over to get an estimate 🤣
Stephen Bear was a roofer wasn’t he before he was locked up.

This an outdated view. Most privates have football now & rugby is very common in state.

@DramaAlpaca he is 😋

Tbh i like manual workers and thats because then they can fix things in the house

This is not emphasised enough, I would trade my finance bro for someone who could knock me up an extension!

DH is about as far from a manual worker as you can get and it was rugby only when he was at school.

He’s just finished reroofing part of our house.

My DH is pretty much a finance bro and he can knock you up an extension and repairs and spray paint your car!!

jealous, mine can put up a shelf & that's about it. Thank god he's good looking 😆

What does working class mean anyway?

I think my husband is working class - his Dad left his Mum young, and she was a dinner lady for years before re-marrying a postman which she then also became. That's working class isn't it? My dad was a banker and I went to private school. My mum never worked a day in her life though she'll go on and on about how hard it was bringing us kids up 🤣

Last weekend DH laid a new floor in our front room, and the weekend before he fitted a new fuel pump into my van and changed the oil filter.

He's also a yorkshireman and has the most gorgeous accent, whereas I couldn't be more posh!

I agree with OP wholeheartedly!

This must be a joke.
It describes a lot of the dads I see on the school run in our mostly affluent area. Some of them I’ve spoken to and know they’re quite well-to-do rather than speculating they’re in the majority.
But why is it? Why do so many middle and upper class men look like this? My first thought is it could be from cousins marrying generations ago to keep wealth in family? But I don’t know if it was common enough to cause this. Of course they don’t all, but those features are far more common in the middle/ upper classes instead of working class

Depends on the man.

Exactly this.

OP, you don’t like WC men. You like the fantasy of being swept off your feet by a good looking, masculine man who can plaster your ceiling, fix a leaking tap and give your car a service before making you see stars. I think you probably watched Sean Bean in Lady Chatterley’s Lover at an impressionable age.

Hmm, the first person that came to mind when I thought of working class sex symbols was the young Jarvis Cocker singing Common People. Whether he was any good at DIY never really came into it…

A pretty fair summary to be honest.

My other half doesn't fight but I'm reassured that, say we ran into some trouble one evening he could handle himself, and not just stammer and hand over his wallet

ah, Sean Bean! mmmmmnnnn

With pale lily white arms sticking out with soft hands 🤣

You absolutely did

Even the ones that come home from work and sit in the front garden with their top off, can of larger in one hand, roll up in the other? Looking 50 when they're 30.

I wonder if you’d all be so happy if it was men talking about their ideal woman who could keep a tidy home and make delicious food whilst looking good with shiny swishy hair and smooth lightly tanned skin. Not interested in the fact that they could wipe the floor with the opposition in a debate or run a business. Preferably one who’d wait for a big strong man to run to their rescue.
Possibly they would say that intelligent women were unattractive with hairy legs and unfeminine hobbies. How does that feel?
I’ve been with DH for 40 years, he’s not massively good looking, crap at DIY but he makes me laugh, earns enough to pay someone else to do the DIY, is clever, witty and a brilliant dad. He’s also one of the kindest men I know and has loads of mates from all walks of life.
Lets stop stereotyping unless we can accept it being done back to us.
