Don't worry, the hot, successful guys in the trades wouldn't give your snobby ass the time of day. I know your type. Now matter how attractive you may be, it all goes out the window as soon as you open your mouth.


As someone who married into a blue collar family, what one person calls snobbishness is actually reality. Yes, we know there is someone who never went to college who writes beautiful poetry, travels the world, and speaks five languages. OK, I get it. But with my in-laws, it's Trumpers, NRA members, conspiracy theory believers, hate blacks/not crazy about Jews, etc.

Yes. Especially a nice kind handsome rich plumber. Doesn’t even have to be rich just financially stable and responsible. My ex was a rich “white color” professional. But a complete jerk and financial mess

I would if we were compatible. I care more about interests than degrees. But I wouldn't date a man who was negative towards me for having an advanced degree and some UMC interests. Some working class families can have these close-minded, negative attitudes and that's a deal breaker for me.

If the question is really would I NOT date someone because he's a plumber, that's a different question. I have a career and lots of interests and I have been involved with blue collar men before. The issue for me is whether or not he likes his job -- or at least values what it can provide him, and whether he respects mine and appreciates that my career interests genuinely drive and satisfy me. Beyond that, it's whether we share common interests and values -- which is always going to be true for any relationship.

Why would it matter if he is either rich or a Plummer?

What matters is finding someone that can make you happy.

The rich guy might not work on his personality, as the hot girl may not as well

Nothing wrong with that but is is a different lifestyle from the white collar educated world. Rednecks with money baby! Have at it but be warned that lifestyle most likely will not change.


The guy who painted our house is super interesting. Loves jazz clubs, very fun to talk to. I've met waaaaaay more boring people working in offices. At least blue collar people often have the TIME for other interests!
