what is my "type"? i'm into guys who look like this
-
That's Britain's version of white trash, Chav. And no. It's not the same as the n word. We're all typing Chav but not a single one of us is actually typing out the actual n word.
Pretty sure some news show like CNN haD a segment on "what word is more racist, cracker or the n-word". Then someone like Jon Stewart or Jon Oliver covered that and could only scream "THE ONE YOU CAN'T SAY OR SHOW ON TV!" Good times.
-
it is inappropriate because it's a slur. i'd feel the same way about someone posting pictures of rastafari men and the person posting doesn't know what the word for them is, but instead of people giving an actual answer they just respond with "those are (n word)s" over and over
i don't know if it's just people trying to be edgy or not because they themselves don't know the answer but it left a bad taste in my mouth
you didn't answer their question

What an odd question.
You clearly know you have a 'type' and can easily point out examples of that type - that being the case why on earth do you need a word for it? How does applying a word help you find more people of that type? You're not classifying a new species.
you've given an excellent answer.
and what an odd response you've gotten from OP
(nothing, because this was clearly a setup) -
i'm English and there's so many guys like this where i live but there doesn't seem to be an actual name for them which is annoying bc i don't have a name for what i'm into.
is there an actual, well agreed upon name that's well recognised in the uk for these guys so people know what i'm on about?
Icy hot stuntaz?

It looks like you're just a ballcap away from being down for Stephen Miller, at which point I'd encourage you to re-think your life choices...

sigh....."chav" is a classist slur that means "working class person"
it neither answers my question nor does it narrow anything down. it’s like if someone posted photos of black guys with dreads and fancy hats and they asked what type of guy they’re into and people just responded back with the n word like it answers the question or even remotely narrows anything down

I'm not disagreeing that it's a working clas slur, I know that. But you asked what the well agreed upon name is for that subculture is... and sadly it's a slur. I've seen people describe themselves or their style using that word, I've been people put in dating profiles (both as a self description, and as something they're looking for).
This fashion article uses it repeatedly (and acknowledges it's contraversial origins as a word), but also uses "casuals", "English working class youth" and "football hooligan" as subculture groups that wear that style of urban street wear.
If you don't like it, don't use it. But it is the common agreed upon term that you wanted to know. British society doest have quite the same issue with race as the USA, but It has a huge problem with classisim, and it is made much worse because people don't even see it as a problem. You said that people wouldn't Just describe a guy in dredds using a racial slur, but they would have 80 years ago. Britain is still at that stage with its attitudes to working class culture. And appropriately, "Chavs" by Owen Jones is a good introduction to people interested in the issue.

Without using slurs, I'd say your type is "pretty fly for a white guy".
