I’ve heard it said that Truckers are more highly regarded by the female public (eg. heros of the road, more desirable than a tech nerd, etc) in the USA than in the UK.
For those more widely-travelled than I, where do the single-but-looking guys go with a good chance of getting a sincere hook-up with a local girl?
(Proper relationships here, nothing “Bought and paid for”!)
I once dated a German girl I met in Spain, travelled around Switzerland and Austria with her, before she finally dumped me for another guy old enough to be her father from Portugal…
With all the freedom of travel these days, I’m wondering if this kind of experience is normal everywhere, or better to be had in some places than others?
I’m not widely travelled but been kicked in the ■■■■■■■■ enough.
If my experience is anything to go by look towards the Latins, passionate, short tempered, caring, understanding, totally loyal to their man once committed and simply wish to be loved and wanted, make wonderful and protective mothers…some say Asiatics/Orientals are equally genuine but i have no experience there.
I don’t want to get into a row but IMO many Western Europeans are materialistic and can be cold hearted and easily disloyal, but that goes for both sexes.
Difficult not to generalise.
The lorry driving job of it involves being away from home regularly overnight or worse for extended periods isn’t conducive to a good healthy one man one woman close relationship.

Maybe in the 70s when films like Convoy were on the go but certainly not now. We’re not looked down on to the same extent as in the UK in Canada/USA but we are far from highly regarded by the female public at large. Most women here dont believe I’m a trucker and not a British tourist because I’m 28, I’m not fat and dont dress like a redneck.

Who the hell fed you that load of old bovine excrement then ■■?
US otr truckers have possibly the worst divorce rate in the world. I met very few you would describe as “desirable” or who hasn’t had more failed marriages than Lizzy Taylor
If you go to the states your accent will get you by regardless of looks, wealth or demenour.
In Europe get off the beaten track and hit a local bar. Any bird knocking about a truckers bar has had more drivers through it than eurotunnel, is as unhygenic as eurotunnel and is probabley as “wide” as the tunnel too
That said despite enjoying the varied “tastes” of a life travelling I still ended up married to a fat lass from the local boozer .Beware the evils of alcohol kiddies

North American truck drivers can make Bulgarians look like the ultimate in sartorial elegance, they are, for the most part, a bunch of soap dodging morbidly obese dirtbags with IQs smaller than their hamburgers I would rather my daughters married a drug dealer than a truck driver
A South East London council estate accent sounds just like James Bond to the average American, if only I was single… (and not fat and ugly)
Had a few birds here and there in Euroland, but they were all slappers TBH, kept me warm though so I didn’t care
The best place to look for a bird is the street I lived in after I was born (Doddington Grove, SE17) this comes from my wife and she is convinced it’s true, strangely enough, she was living in the same street

i take offence to the bulgarian statement!!! my partner is bulgarian and she is possibly the cleanest person i have ever met, showers everyday sometimes twice, and having spent a lot of time in bulgaria i haven’t found them dirty at all, unless you are talking about the gypsies and thats a different storey, so don’t tar everyone with the same brush just because you ahve possibly met the odd dirty bulgarian driver, there are more dirty english driver out there

^^ right ok NOW I’ve heard it all.
Just for the record… on the very rare occasions these days that I get any attention from birds, I’ll always try to hide the fact that I drive lorries for a living. The minute they hear that, they’ve usually been off like a shot in the past.

Is this your partner?

Yes, I believe it is
I often hear that a lot of relationships break down when a driver comes off long term tramping - disrupts the normal routine of things and becomes irritating.
I don’t think that truckers are even noticed enough to be regarded as anything to the female population (unless you’re holding them up). If it’s any consolation, It’s no easier being a female driver.
I once drove into a plant hire yard, and the manager came out and watched me unload - he then told me all about his house and asked if I’d like to live with him Very odd. You go about your business, not getting noticed, then you get that! I didn’t really want to move to Wales so I declined his kind offer. If I’d have known how few offers I was going to get I might have reconsidered
Maybe we should start a lonely hearts column for truckers.
I could just as well ask how rare it is for a trucker guy to walk into a cafe/bar and hit on a girly who turns out to be a trucker herself - or vice-versa, probably even rarer still!

Sorry but that really made me laugh for some reason
It seemed kinda absurd at the time. I think the girl must have been some kinda language groupie, as she stayed with me long enough to get her English perfect (had already done French & Spanish) so perhaps looking back, Portugeuse was the next logical step. I had nothing left to teach her you could say.

Unless that story beats losing out with a girl of 16 to a bloke over 45.

I would rather my daughters married a drug dealer than a truck driver
