Tired of guys who are too prissy for their own good? Sick of men who get manicures more often than you do? You don’t need another metrosexual; you need a manly man. Blue-collar guys are HOT! And what’s sexier than a mining man? Any man who has the guts to risk their life to enter a mine has got to be pretty masculine.

The best part is Australia has one of the biggest mining communities in the world. Ladies, you’re in luck! He might be away for weeks at a time, but rest assured when he’s at home he’ll be very handy around the house. Forget about killing bugs or calling a plumber to fix a broken pipe. You’ll have your own personal Mr. Fix It right at home and at your disposal 24-7.

White collar men used to be the ideal, but more and more successful career-oriented women are choosing to shack up with firefighters, cops, and construction workers. Hard-working blue-collar guys offer a rugged appeal that other men can’t offer.  He might not make as much money as you do and he might wear a uniform instead of an 3-piece suit, but if the two of you have a connection that’s all that matters. Plus mining men can be equally as passionate about their jobs as a lawyer or doctor, if not more so. What’s the value in a big paycheck if a man doesn’t treat you like a queen? Women now have the means to create their own careers, scoring lucrative jobs, so the needs to meet a man who can take care of them financially no longer exists.

Love is an explicable force that can’t always be governed by logic. If you find yourself attracted to blue-collar types, go for it! Forget about what your friends say and follow your heart.
