I’m into the look (burberry/plaid, tattoos and tracksuits) and also the idgaf/take no shit attitude they have. First guy to flirt with me and ask me out matched this description so ig that left an impression lol

    the idgaf/take no shit attitude

    the “I’m a bit slow and get angry when people make me feel insecure about it” attitude 😅

    No, but I did learn not to judge by appearances when a bunch of them invited me to theirs to play mario kart until morning when I got lost on the way home from a NYE party

    No. Chavs were the school bullies for me growing up so I get a pretty strong visceral ewe from that style choice.

    Yeah, it’s a pretty common thing. Many disadvantaged groups end up putting a lot of effort into how they look, because it’s something relatively inexpensive they can control and express themselves through. That’s why lots of fashion and culture starts among poor / gay / racial minorities, and then is co-opted (or appropriated) by the mainstream. So finding the look hot isn’t too surprising, given that that’s what they’re going for - no one wears pristine white tracksuits for practicality.

    And the confident / arrogant and outsider / dgaf attitude can be pretty attractive to someone, especially if that person is shy, or feels trapped / bored by the more conventional requirements of middle-class society. I think that’s fine (nothing wrong with finding something hot) and can even be good, if it helps people overcome a lot of the social prejudice against working class culture. It can be problematic if it becomes dehumanising, seeing chavs as primal and animalistic, as happens disturbingly frequently with white folks fetishisation of black men.

    I’m sure I saw this exact same post last week. Chavs don’t wear plaid.

    I don’t find people who vote Reform attractive, no.

    I definitely won’t complain if a millie chick finds me attractive.

    I just wouldn’t look forward to all of the fights she’d get me into, drunkenly yelling at everyone “oi me fella’ll do yer wee knees in ya fockun tosser JOG ON!”
