C.U.B. - Cashed - Up - Bogans
Tradies and other manual workers, Small Business Owners with no University Qualifications. Early School leavers. Working Class, Blue Collar, Trade Union Supporters. League Fans, Ute Drivers, Holdens and Fords. Greyhound owners. Flannel shirt wearers, Up the sleeve with a pack of smokes. Howyagoing, luv.
F.U.B. - Frozen Urban Blokes
City Types, Professionals, Nice Manners, Suit Wearers, Good Schools, Rugby Union. Liberal Party, Huge Mortgages, European Cars - NorthShore Holden = BMW. Labradors and Cockaspoodels. Country Road and Ralph Lauren. Good straight teeth. "Sorry, must take that call". weekend workers.
'Should have married a plumber or builder' is the new cry from the professional working poor. Those who are moaning the cost of replicating their childhood lives of big homes, private schools and holidays in the sun. Marriage to a Lawyer, SuperSmart Accountant or Stockbroker does not augur well for financial freedom.
It's the tradesman as the desirable one. The on-demand renovation desire has created a new sub-species. Sucessful Bogans.
The 80's was the Lawyer, the Partner, the LA Law bespoke suit verbal warrior, as an ideal husband. The 90's was the Money Market Man. Mysterious Hedge Funds and whispers of massive bonuses. This decade is the Tradesman. The transformer of backyards, kitchens and creator of nifty space savers, particulary walk-in-wardrobes.
I've dated through all these decades. Barristers, Lawyers, Stockbrokers, Engineers, Money Market Traders, I.T experts. They freeze up on commitment. Ever so well mannered. Fork and knives in the right place. Suits all beautifully cut. Take them anywhere, but not up the aisle. Not as enlightened as you might think too.
Now is the time for the CUB. the tradesmans charm, the cash-only man, the small to medium business owner with energy, sucess and is on-demand vocationally. They are interested in Plasma TV's, boats, simple holiday cottages and have no sense of cutlery.
The Coach is more CUB than FUB. strangely have only seen him eat with chopsticks. Don't know when our next 'meeting' is. I asked him if we can stop talking about work more about personal stories next time. He smiled with that horribly appealing eye twinkle and said, "yes! and on a couch too."
astro note: he is capricorn x 4. sun, moon, merc, and venus.

Dear Cat,
you sound so wise, and what you say about "fashionable men" is so true!
I also kind of like the Coach's last sentence... ;-D It takes a Cap some time to move, it's good to take the initiative occasionally. Good luck.
All the best,
Silly Vanilly
I agree.
I work with suits and all I'm craving is a small town boy who is less concerned with body image and what other's think.
Can't wait to hear how things progress... on all ends :)
I think too many well-groomed suits carry baggage that doesn't fit into their briefcase, so they hand it over to YOU. *hihi*
No, we must be tolerant. But I'm totally fed up with selfish lawyers and economists who cannot think of anything else but the next standing reception (if that's a word) and who "need to" talk about their ex-wives.
By the way, just because it was so cute: I had a sweet and unobtrusive declaration of adoration by the 70-year-old luminary in my line of work... :-D So cute.

A good suit is still and aphrodisiac for me, unfortunately, but glad to know you are finding the corporate male difficult too.
k, will post story about small town boy soon, just need to camoflague a few telling details.!
silly v, older men's charms are sweet, wish they could teach their offspring some charm ! *idea* a reality show about grandparents teaching young-ones how to date the old-fashioned way? Ha! ha!

Hello Girls,
Oh, I like suits too, that's the trouble! But then again, there are many well-mannered (but badly dressed) men in the humanities, too... :-)
I love the idea with the show!
