What I like about basic men

[Anonymous]

I'm not attracted to super models or perfect faced young guys. I'm not saying I don't think they look good but personally if I had the opportunity to date them I just wouldn't. I for some reason like men who have a more rugged appearance. Like calloused greasy hands and works boots kind of guy.

I feel like a man working hard is sexy. I don't particularly find guys with dainty finger nails who don't know how to use a hammer attractive. I sometimes think it may be because I know how to use a few tools myself and I don't like it when I know more than the guy knows about it. It's weird.

Now I'm not saying other men don't work hard but there's nothing like a guy who can fix things in his own house and problem solve. Not being 100% fit, messy hair, grey hair, a little scar, a crooked tooth it's cute. Having imperfections is what makes you, you.

So guys don't get discouraged because you don't have arms like Dwayne Johnson because that's kinda gross and worry about not looking like whoever the ''hottest'' guy is because you'll be perfect for your person.

That is amazing you know what you like. So many men forget that not all women are the same the same as all men aren't the same. See there are plenty of things some men are into that makes ZERO sense to me while on the other hand things some men don't like that I LOVE!!!

People should not be discouraged. Does not mean that people think lesser of someone as a human being just maybe not right to be married or in a long term relationship not a big deal at all.

What makes me happy is that you know what you like and who you like

That's great there are still women like you. Even though I went to college I can take a car apart or build an addition to a house. And I have some scars, lol

Does "basic men" also apply to shorter men (5'8"/173 cm to 5'11"/182 cm) with a dad bod and modest income? Or do you still only want tall and wealthy men with abs, but like, the construction worker and farmer types rather than the white collar, Elon Musk types?

"So guys don't get discouraged because you don't have arms like Dwayne Johnson because that's kinda gross and worry about not looking like whoever the ''hottest'' guy is because you'll be perfect for your person."

I've literally never met any woman like this before. But people keep insisting on the internet that they exist. I want to believe; I do. I just... Haven't ever met any!

I just like guys who look normal

[MCheetah]

That's 90% of men.

I don't think being a man means it's compulsory for you to know the manly stuff like fixing things. I'm not really saying that's what the take writer was trying to say. I'm sure it's just preference in her case. But for a lot of women, including my mom, they shame men when they find that they can't fix up stuff. To be a human is to be curious I believe. But let's not make it a gender criteria or something.

It isn't it's just what I find attractive

[anon1903]

Yeah (..)

[litty]

It’s funny you say that because my partners mom shits on me for not knowing as much car fixing as her mechanic husband.


It’s not really my job since i deal with tech, which she’s kind of ungrateful because I’ve helped her with her computer.


I find it strange when you say it’s weird if you know more than them. Isn’t that going to be the case most times since you are going to date someone opposite of you?

[myTake Owner]

this is true but I don't know a lot about fixing things so it's easy to know more than me. Besides I know someone who's husband isn't handy at all and he makes her do everything on top of taking care of all the kids he wanted even though she didn't want any. I find it very unfair you know?

[litty]

Yikes, she didn't want kids and yet she had them anyway? That sounds like an abusive situation where she doesn't have any power or feels trapped. It certainly wouldn't kill the husband to help out.

[myTake Owner]

yeah I think that's one reason why I don't like it

[DanielDiaz]

I'm glad to hear that there are women who are not so grandiose to overlook men who mostly fit into this "basic" category. Women like Deborrah Cooper, who I would rather smother my body in honey and approach a month-starved kodiak bear than her, think that "basic" men are inferior and not worth relationships. Ironically, there is nothing remarkable about her then her nasty, conceited attitude.

[DCowboy4747]

I Love this. It is just a shame a lot more people, male and female, don't see the world in the same way. I was born into a blue-collar family, weeded my first garden when I was 8 got my first payroll job when I was 14, I'm currently 47 and it is catching up with me lol. It is nice when you can find someone who likes you for you, hell we are all like snowflakes, none of us are the same.

[myTake Owner]

Working hard is sexy

[hotwife98]

They are not "basic" because they are not supermodels... that is very dehumanising. Being less conventionally attractive doesn't mean you are a lesser person. It is literally just genetics and thats it.

[Chris_8036]

I know how to use tools, I have imperfections and work boots.
This is about me.

if he wants to that's fine

[Pegases]

This was a surprising read. This isn't by any means common thought from a woman in the modern day, so I have a tough time believing it.

[myTake Owner]

well it's true for me

[Guy13]

You like a guy's guy who provides, protects, treasures, and focuses as much on closest as Self. MOST women are like this you STUPID men...

[BJP21]
