Why can't a highly paid white collar man be hardworking too? Personally, I don't care what a guy does or how much he makes as long as he has a good work ethic and yes, you can find men like that in all job types. What a bunch of stereotyping BS this question is.

A question posed many times by the forums HR expert with many aliases.
Whichever is the nicest , has the best sense of humour, most loyal, loving, caring and will treat me best... I don't judge people by their salaries but by their personalities and attitude to life. Oh and many white collar men are extremely hard working. Has the OP heard of workaholism, usually very much a white collar trait.... This thread sounds to me like reverse snobbism .
If I saw the same man, but once on the side of the street laboring at his job, or the other at a ribbon cutting ceremony for his donation wearing a tux...
I'd be much more attracted to him in the tux.
A guy using his brain is more attractive than a guy doing manual labor. But that's just the 'attraction'. The poll didn't ask about ethics/morals/ect- it was just off sight.

Exactly. Likewise, a hardworking blue-collar man can be highly paid. Some tradesmen easily make upwards of $200K a year.

I got the best of both worlds. I married a hard working, comfortably paid, white collar man that knows more about various blue collar jobs than many blue collar men. (You know it's bad when he's introducing/teaching those guys about new products and/or techniques.)
My husband worked at a garage and was a logger for many years before and during college. He graduated with a Finance/Management and Fine Arts degree. Now he's an executive that travels the world, but his idea of fun is playing on his tractor.
That's terrific, IW. I ESPECIALLY like the Fine Arts part. From my observations, technical people make for very poor communicators and are rigid and stubborn - seldom the ''hybrid'' types needed for good relations. Of course, they will now come out of the woodwork declaring they are very family-oriented men.
The type of work a man does is not as important as what kind of man he is. I think a man that is loving and smart can be found in many occupations. I do not like a man that is arrogant or stuck on himself, which can also be found in many occupations. The man who thinks he is smarter or better than others is not my choice. The man who believes that just because he did not attend college he is a harder worker than the one who did is not my choice either. Good men can be found in all walks of life. I think using your brain in whatever line of work you chose is sexy.

That's the oddest statement yet. I am in a technical career, and have been for years. It requires me to have extremely good communication skills, be highly flexible in my work and always aware and searching for new/other solutions. "Stubborn" is simply not a word in our vocabulary and has no place in our office.

I'll stick my oar in.
