...to think that a man who "doesn't drive" is not remotely sexy

[AnyFucker]

I saw this on another thread (doesn't matter which) and didn't want to hijack it with my silly ramblings

but, I can't imagine being with a man who "doesn't drive" (disabilities notwithstanding)

just someone too lazy to learn, who would let their OH chauffeur them around

there is something very appealing (sexy) about a man who drives well

mind you, I have a thing about a well-shaped wrist on a man , and driving in short sleeves shows that off to perfection

am I showing my age here ?

I feel that accurate information is essential to these types of important discussions.

hahaha..ok,ok AF..no lurve
its just no biggie to me...its cool and nice if he has a car..but it wouldnt make him more attractive/sexy..

Men who drive are just men who can drive ...
I suppose a man who drives specialist equipment or can pilot a plane or steer a ship..now that would be sexy all that power in his hands an all..v impressive ...
but a bloke who drives a Tescos delivery van...erm..NO

I totally agree, and my dh can't drive. He has promised to do it for years, but I have realised that he is nothing but a lazy wanker who will probably never do it. My own fault for ferrying him about so have nobody else to blame - other that his mother she ferries him about too.

I may have to get a bumper sticker for DH's car.

'I have the girth to fill your berth'

oh, dh cycles, too. he loves it. he used to do it before he could afford to own a car.

still did when our car was in the garage and we lived further out.

Maybe the shirt thing it is a snobbish thing about people in "menial" jobs of some sort. or something.

Dunno.

My DH has tan lines 3/4 of the way up his arms. AND the shirts he is provided with are thin and a bit see through.

men who don't drive on princple, even if they are very toned bicycling types, are not sexy, they are lentil eaters.

Men who wear short sleeved shirts are very very unsexy, in fact these sort of shirts should be banned.

Men driving automatics are even worse.

A man driving a manual car manfully, wearing a nice chunky watch with mysterious and useless functions and showing a nice bit of tanned forearm below his rolled up shirtsleeve, now there's a thing....

But of course not if he drives better than me

whats wrong with short sleeve shirts?..prefer long sleeves rolled meself and i suppose its not a good look if you have skinny arms

He is hot though. If you lot saw him driving his great big vehicle with the twirly lights on top, you would all spontaneously combust

This thread is making me laugh - can you imagine how much it would kick off if one of the blokes posted about how he loves to see a woman cooking while showing a little leg.

you see this thing about ferrying them about - it's bullshit - hell if someone doesn't drive then they (should be) perfectly capable of getting themselves from A to B (even if A to B is 500 miles away) without a bleeding lift in someone elses car.

A man who can't cope without a car is a huge turn off for me.

short sleeve shirts= municipal.like bus driver and postie

I once "dated" a bloke in mid 20s who didn't drive, and so got his parents to drive him around or caught the bus. V unsexy. Cycling and diabilities not included....laziness for never having learnt and relying on others to ferry you around like a chauffeur is not on. YANBU imho.

Well, I'm from a semi-tropical climate and then lived in a semi-arid one.

Temps over 40 degrees for days or even weeks on end common.

Short sleeves on everyone a must.

So I don't get that one.

OH GOD you all want to screw peter jones from dragons den don't you.

viv...your story is kinda where my OP was coming from in the first place

then it got hijacked by the pc brigade

A child can get away with short-sleeves: my 14-month old looks very cute in his car-patterned cotton shirt but it's not a look I'd liek to see on DH.

There's just something not very masculine enough about a man who gets hot in cuffs. Short sleeves flap around, emphasising skinny pecs. It's a British thing: no self-respecting Mediterranean would be caught dead in short sleeves whatever the temperature.

And Charlie from Casualty. Enough said.

and jimjammum...you got it too

expat gets me 99% of the time

Yes sm i think you are right about the municipals.

My DH does most certainly not have skinny pecs

(In fact he doesn't have skinny anything )

OH no my last post I meant he was a bit podgy! nd it was meant to be a not a afterwards.

FFS

I'm going for a bath. Not the municipal baths, just my normal one.

'It's a British thing'

It is.

I'm American. When it's 40+ degrees, you look like a total eejit if you're out in long-sleeves, especially when the humidity is sitting around 90%.

You meant he is hung a donkey ISNT, we know

at I'mso

I'll make an exception for Hawaiian shirts and the tropical/safari look (admittedly, neither of which I can imagine DH pulling off).

and peter jones just looks like a goddamn pussy to me.
