What kind of people do you find yourself attracted to as far as work ... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 03-10-2006, 02:42 PM

is concerned? Or career? Meaning, some people, like me for example, I love blue collar workers. After my divorce, I would find myself attracted to blue collar workers. Construction guys, street/city workers, etc. There is something abt a man who gets into his work, gets dirty, works with his hands, seems rugged to me. My boyfriend was a roofer when I met him. There was something abt seeing this man at work, seeing him all dirty, sweaty, etc. and then seeing him all dressed up to go out, it was such a turn on. My father owned his own businesses and he worked with his hands, repaired things himself, made things, so I guess that's where my feelings for blue collar men came from. Driving down the street, if I see a man in a suit in a parking lot and a construction worker working on a building, my eyes will go straight to the construction guy. Women always asked me abt working in the legal field and seeing all these men in suits, etc. how exciting that must be. Wrong!!! I can't see a man attractive when he is dressed up ALL THE TIME. He doesn't work with his hands. The computer guy who would come and fix the computers in the law office, NOW HE WAS GORGEOUS! He would wear casual jeans, shirts and there he was working with his hands on the computers. That is what I find attractive in the opposite sex.

I love the creative types--actors, singers, writers, artists, etc-- I find quirky, free-spirited independent types really hot. Then again, I like to write, so maybe that's why I'm so attracted to those types.

Oh, and give me a white collar man in a suit too...YUM.

There's nothing like a man in a suit.

When it comes to finding women attractive I think intelligence plays a very important part for me. I also like honestly. I think without honestly there can not be trust.

That's sweet. But i was asking what kind of career-minded people do you find attractive? Do career women such as doctors, lawyers, teachers attract you? Somebody who just has a basic 9-5 job at a store. something along those lines. White collar worker, blue collar worker, etc.

dawsongirl · 03-10-2006, 06:58 PM

Well, actors...but that's pure fantasy.

As for real life, I dunno. I grew up with blue collar men, so I have a soft spot in my heart for the 8-5, time card punching types. But I do love a suit...

. But then again, a lot of the suits I've met know just how important they think they are. Ugh. Nothing worse than a raving ego maniac.

So I guess a blue collar guy in a suit.

I echo that and add...humor. I think a sense of humor is essential. It doesn't have to be warped like mine, but there has to be some appreciation of the absurdities of everyday life.

I thought I would had out grown this, but I have not!
Since my early 20s, it seems the only men that I am physically attracted to are musicians; most of my boyfriends have been band members, most (if not all) of the men that I have been attracted to (or have a crush on) have been musicians, especially if they have "cool" looking hair or have a 1970s, retro style going on...(I know, I am cursed)

Oh such a good example. I had those feelings when I was a teen. Obviously not anymore.

See, I am in my 30s..LOL., and I still develop these crushes on these bands; and I am not talking about famous, well known groups, I am talking about the local bands that I check out in the Los Angeles area. I just find musicians appealing and interesting, out of the norm

I have a great respect for teachers. Anyone who devotes their life to educating future generations. And I think (I hope) that most teachers are intelligent and honest people. So I think a woman as a teacher is pretty sexy.
