I (32 F) like the look/vibe (love the flannel/plaid look especially). I also like how intimidating they can be. I'm not sure how I'd go about trying to find one, though.

Ready to get knocked up and then knocked about? That's the Chav-life.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Yer either knocking her up or knocking her down

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

I don't really feel like redneck is the appropriate parallel. It just feels off.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.

A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah but Chavs are illiterate and uneducated like rednecks just less country and more urban

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'm guessing you don't know any rednecks.

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Chavs and yobs would actively fight with rednecks.

Worst of the British urban population and worst of the American rural population. They wouldn't xo exist

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

Ladbrokes is a good start. Job Centre. Gym (boxing gyms usually). Race riots.

[-] Makhno@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Race riots.

Hahaha

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

Move to a rural town. That's all we got around here!

[-] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 22 points 1 week ago

Lend your car out freely. Cosign for things. Make it clear you don't like condoms.

Drink lots of beer and look for someone who looks like theyre not opposed to domestic violence

[-] DoGeeseSeeGod 17 points 1 week ago

Send msgs via baby goats you let loose in the country side. Worked for my aunt. Then again she was serial killer, but I think the tactic still applies

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Chavs don't wear flannel. They wear polyester tracksuits.

[-] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Based on your definition of chav (I too thought tracksuits, trainers, and UK urban slang), think about the kind of hobbies folks like this do. Dunno if it's an exact equivalent, but if someone was looking for a redneck here in Canada, they'd be going to car and truck shows/events, hunting events, small town bars, fishing derbies, small circuit pro-wrestling events, farm/harvest festivals, county fairs, that kind of thing.

Hi yes, i am 30 and wear flannels and get too drunk on the weeknds. You can call me the man of your dream, NDB.

[-] Fleur_@aussie.zone 12 points 1 week ago

Idk literally any club on a Saturday. You're asking where to find air to breathe here.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

Flannel? Intimidating? Have you considered a big 'ol Bull Dyke?

[-] loomi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

PNW, we call plaid flannel wearing dudes lumbersexual.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge...

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Check your local council estate.

[-] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

Try Phuket or Mallorca.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Football or soccer game

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Chavs. As in the Burberry hat meme?

Or the versions without the hats. Who are apparentley just called Yobs?

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Try the local flat roof pub. If you’re not sure where it is, listen for the barking of the XL Bully left neglected in the back yard.

[-] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

I hear you can attract them with cans of Special Brew

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

That’s neds, isn’t it?

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Have you tried Tinder? Plenty there

[-] seralth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago
