    why is that men fall in love with there ute so much?
    no matter what it is, how much its worth or what it looks like.
    it could be the biggest peice of crap but yet you still love it

    why?????


    i must admit im starting to love the tata more then the vs
    i cant figger it out, crap handling, crap brakes, dodgy indian design interior and slow as hell but i love to drive it more then the vs

    my mate is the same he has a xf ute, hell rusty but he preffers it over his vt ss or au fairmont v8
    he has a 75 f100 and he wil never sell it, he is just that attached
    he cant figger it out either why he is like that

    stereotypically seen as a males vehicle i guess. Majority of male ute owners need a ute i guess and jus love the fact its theirs

    I had a ute for years but sold it for the VX, but have been thinking the wife's car might have to go so I can get a ute again.

    I have 2 cars VZ sv8 6 litre and VU ute 5.7 litre
    Carpenters, tilers, painters, builders and plumbers. These are the five hottest professions to have in the dating world right now, according to a survey conducted by networking site linkme.com.au.

    Bankers, doctors, lawyers, accountants and psychiatrists followed, suggesting blue collars are back big time, leaving office-bound desk-jockeys wallowing in the wake of the machismo love boat.

    But what makes the labouring he-man such hot property?

    International dating expert and Aussie ex-pat Sam Van Rood told a British newspaper recently that women are wired to want big, tough tradies and there utes.:thumbsup: He cited a "basic biological urge" as the reason the sisterhood maintains a soft spot for Mr. Protector of Wife, Hearth and Home and Bearer of Big Strong Genes.

    "All women deep down like a man who can protect them. It's a bit of a caveman thing...:bang::bang::bang: when women are ovulating they are attracted to rough and ready types," he said.

    "In strictly biological terms, while geeky types may be better providers in long term, the tough, rough blokes have stronger genes, so there's a better likelihood of stronger, healthier kids."

    Many single women subscribe to the Working-Class Man stereotype, which pigeonholes the rough-handed hombre as honest, humble, hard-working and family oriented. Hot stuff indeed for the time-poor, romantically frustrated modern gal.

    And what about money, honey? Many men I've spoken to firmly believe that a significant number of single ladies prefer boys who brandish a bit of platinum plastic. With tradies earning higher average wages than university graduates, a cashed-up bogan may be more attractive then a chap with a BA and a massive HECS debt.

    Years of solid and stable economic growth have given us a generation that some say has been spoilt by prosperity and private schooling. From here have emerged many princess-types seeking a scandalous entanglement with a "lower-class" lad, a la Lady Chatterley.

    Is this reason enough for our single guys who are serious about finding a special someone to trade their Herringbone shirts for Hard Yakka stubbies? Should we aim to solve the skills shortage by marketing life as a labourer as a winner with the women?

    Call me crazy, but I don't reckon what you do defines who you are. Basing your opinion of another on their occupation alone is a pretty shaky foundation for a serious relationship. You could be my baby, it don't matter if you're blue or white.


    Right? :D:D a trady in Yakka stubbies driving his Ute :p:p:p:p
