Dating Metrosexuals Is A Thing Of The Past

Posted on December 10, 2008

Tradies WESTENDER — Dec 8 — The survey of over 700 female members of RSVP.com.au, Australia’s largest online dating site, saw 93% of respondents saying they would like to date a “tradie”. Almost half the women surveyed (49%) believe tradesmen are “more relaxed and fun than men in stuffy suits”. “Sexy and strong” was the most popular reason (28%), followed by “not afraid to get their hands dirty” (20%) as well as “handy around the house and garden” (15%).

The full article was originally published at Westender, but is no longer available.
