Why are "unattractive men" always stereotyped as maintenance workers?

Question

Or some other blue collar employee class of people?

Answer 1

What are you talking about?

Sanitation engineers, janitors, construction worker.....*sizzle*

Answer 2

I'd think there was a higher correlation between unattractive women being feminists than unattractive men being maintenance workers. It's almost the De Facto conclusion today that when a woman is unnattractive she'll grow to identify with many of the feminists points of interest (as this is the basic audience feminists target)- (though, does that really seem like that much a coincidence if you think about it?) -- disagreeing with what is slated as men's 'sexually objectifying of women in media (even though these women who participate and reap reward continue to apply, and continue grow in number'.

The famed 'glass ceiling', which appears to keep women from making as much money as men at the same positions/ability (though there has never been any sort of evidence to support this at all).

        The attacking of society's view of women not having as much dating value comparative to men outside of sexuality (which of course would be the chief issue to inspire most women into feminism; these women want to have as high a dating value as the attractive women, and that is understandable.--- so how do they go about? Well how else... they get on the internet and complain and belittle men for it, they go on tv and complain about it they complain about it to their friends>> everything but actually SHOWING SOME ATTRACTIVE VALUE to help proactively dispel stereotype.

Answer 3

dont no

Answer 4

Because they don't seem to have enough money to take enough care of themselves to look good though personally I'll take a hard worker over a beautiful bimbo of a man any day.

Answer 5

i guess i should be off to my mop then ? xD

Answer 6

You mean like gardeners and firemen?

Answer 7

same reason ugly women are stereotyped as femminists.

because the VAST majority of the time it is true.

Answer 8

I've never understood why "maintenance workers" aren't appealing to women. What's wrong w/an honest living, especially if you're a good person? Besides, I've seen plenty of contruction worker "eye candy".

Answer 9

I don't know why because I've seen some s**y blue collar workers.

Undecided: "In most small towns most guys that are unattractive work at low end jobs because that is all there is"

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Answer 10

If you're referring to me...that was only one of the adjectives linked to the SPECIFIC maintenance worker in my area...I never stereotyped every custodian.

Answer 11

unattractive because they don't make enough for you, not everyone.

Answer 12

Maybe it is because some people are ignorant and assume that a person who makes more money than the average joe is going to be automatically attractive.    

I personally don't agree.  I saw a CEO today who looked like ET.  

Answer 13

I don't believe that is true, but for some it might I guess.  In most small towns most guys that are unattractive work at low end jobs because that is all there is.  Because of how the economy is today it kinda puts a lot of people, good looking or ugly, in low end jobs.  I have never heard this kind of stereotyping though,  I have seen mostly unattractive men working in high end jobs.  Look at bill gates and hugh Hefner lol they are the epitome  of attraction lol.
