Brit women would ditch rich blokes for DIY guys

London, Aug 15 : Modern Brit would prefer dating a DIY (do-it-yourself) handyman to rich office workers, shows a new research.

The study found that fifty-nine per cent of the total polled preferred hands-on blokes who can save cash by tackling jobs at home.

Sixty-five per cent would choose a gardener over a lawyer.

A staggering 95 per cent find men with no DIY skills a turn-off.

One in ten would dump them.

Julie Olsson, of woodcare firm Sadolin - which quizzed 3,000 women for the poll - said: "It's an attractive quality to see a man putting time and care into a property's upkeep."

"It highlights her partner is thinking about their lives together," The Sun quoted her, as saying.
