Could you date or marry a plumber?

[Anonymous]

There is a lot of stigma against plumbers as bums and slobs and low lifes and so forth. All not true. But if you tell a woman your a plumber seems like its a turn off compared to if someone said I'm a cook or a bus driver or automobile mechanic etc So Why is that?

Not sure why people are telling me what I already know, I clearly stated that the stigmas aren't true, I'm just wondering why even though they are not true women seem to believe it or feel grossed or disgusted by this aside from the shitty obvious of answers. Also looking for womens responses I don't need mens point of views

Yes of course. I really don't know where that stigma comes from or if its an American thing because its not something I've ever witnessed. My sister's married to a plumber, my dad's a fabricator, one of my brother's is a mechanic so I have no issue with guys who are "tradesmen". Perhaps the stigma is related to snobbery, a guy who doesn't wear a suit and sit at a desk all day, a guy who hasn't got smooth hands because he actually uses them, I don't know but I want a guy who isn't afraid of hard work regardless of what he does

Some women get grossed out by it because all they can think about is their man unclogging shit filled toilets for a living. They don't realize all the other duties and importance that the profession entails. I definitely wouldn't care if the guy I dated or married is a plumber.

Hey, plumbers make good money. Not that that's a reason to date someone but...still.

My dad owns a meat plant. His job is literally him handling cattle carcasses, cutting them up, and taking brain stems out of them. He smells like death. Literally.

And my mom still married him lol.

But it isn't a very glamorous profession - both the slaughterhouse and plumbing - so that could be where the stigma comes from.

To me, a plumber is someone who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty (literally) and they seem like the kind of guy who would be dependable (I don't mean just money-wise). I have a lot of respect for people with physical jobs like plumbing because it's still a totally necessary occupation in today's world, and not a whole lot of people are willing to do that type of job.

So to answer your question, yes. I don't see anything wrong with dating/marrying a plumber. Handymen are hot. ;)

'Wimmin' want rich men only.

Luckily I'm rich. But in any case I'm gay so I don't have to deal with these parasites.

If you can avoid women, you should.

I doubt a gay guy would hold so much negativity towards women

I doubt you know anything about gay guys. Gay guys have a wide range of opinions, just like straight guys. Stop being so prejudiced.

[bubbletrouble]

Better question, How does a gay guy know so much about women...if I believe you.

[Opinion Owner]

Why not? I speak fluent German too, but I'm not German and have never lived in Germany. It's called being intellectually curious.

Sure, if she was pretty and had a great personality.

Plumbers here in Australia has six figure incomes.

Trust me I know, still doesn't mean there isn't a stigma and that women don't get wet hearing a man say he's a plumber

[Tarvold]

It's all in your game. If I was a plumber, I'm sure I'd still get girls. All I'd say when they ask what I do is tell them "I'm a plumber. Can't you tell by my crack?", or maybe "I'm a plumber. Not your regular kind, the Mario and Luigi kind."...

[Opinion Owner]
