FabSwingers.com forum: Why does a person's job define them?

I looked at a profile and saw the comment no Roadmen types.

Now I have a blue collar job.

However this does not define me.

I have a wide range of interests read profusely and dress well. Yet on this site as soon as I say what I do for a living more often than not I get deleted. Even after I have spoken to people for a time.

I don’t think the term “roadmen” is them referring to a job. It means they’re after a man not a immature boy.

It doesn't define you, but it does foster sets of social expectations, ways of communicating, attention to (or a healthier lack of attention to) status. It's hard to escape.

Your being to polite their looking for a rough and ready type if you ask me . such men are a dying breed and very rare now days because we live in a world where most not all I just had to get that in there because you know how some people are . Men spend more on beauty products , longer getting ready for a night out , agonise over how they look in selfies than your average woman does .

There just looking for the kind of guy who says fuck all of that, I've had a shave I smell nice now come here and let me Roger the living daylights out of you before I piss off now the pub for a game of darts .

I agree. We're retired and people still ask what we used to do. They've often made assumptions about what it's likely to be beforehand too.

We do it ourselves. There's a guy near and we often speculate about what his job was.

I hope that we take people as they are rather than base our opinion on what job they do though

Just for clarification this is the Collins dictionary definition of a roadman.

Some people use roadman to refer to a young person who spends a lot of time on the streets in a group, and who may be involved in selling drugs.

Laughing at the comment roadman = real man

Road man is a guy that’s on the road a lot for a job. Aka, selling drugs. Doing petty crimes. Etc etc

Think of a chav with a little bit of drug money that says “ennit” and “fam” and “bruv” a lot

Well, we learn something new every day.

I wasn't aware of the term, so searched it.

Courtesy of urban dictionary ............

Roadman

brother species to the chav. A roadman’s true love is the iconic north face black puffer jacket paired with some nike sweats and air max 97s. Chav girls love to date the roadman who acts the most hard. Use phrases such as “safe 1 my g” and “init bruv”.

Girl: Do you think he’s a chav?

Roadman: Nah fam I ain’t no chav init, look at my north face jacket bruv.

Girl : Wow he acts so hard I love it.

I am more interested in what their interests are outside fabs.

With the initial chat(s) I would like to know if we have enough to chat about at a social which may then lead to more. If somebody is not interested in anything but sex or watching TV I would not be interested in meeting them.

The only thing that defines a person is the way they treat others and people who look down their noses at other people are not worth wasting you time on.

Not sure if you were asking me but if you were I d honestly say I don t know. I have come across so-called "chavvy people" who were rather interesting to talk to. It is not always about first impressions I guess.

If people don't want to meet you because of what you do, or don't do, then clearly they are not the type of people you want to meet anyway. They've done you a favour.

In the west.

I've been at opposite ends of the job scale so to speak. I have done heavy manual and downright manky jobs, customer facing jobs and now I work in an office environment. I'm the same person as I was nearly 40 years ago doing that manky job. The only difference being I'm wiser

and I know how to read people and work out who the arseholes are.

They work on the roads and street corners selling drugs, they hang out on the streets, they have knife fights in broad daylight on a road, the pretty much are road men. Or boys.
