I’m not 100% sure why this appeared in the Odd Stuff section of Stuff – I think its more of a lifestyle piece than anything.
The article talks about the more “real” men that attract us women.
A new survey suggests that not all woman are after a hairless muscle-man from the pages of Men’s Health, but instead are on the lookout for a guy who is a little rough around the edges.
Top of the desirable traits was the unshaven look – a turn-on for 41 percent of women, while a slightly geeky personality was also popular.
Top of the list is the unshaven look.
Which I agree to, rugged and a little unkempt is definitely handsome (not so handsome that I could handle having my face and …. anyways, that I could handle permanent pash rash).
A well defined body is nice to look at, but oh so often it comes hand in hand (a little pun there?) with a terribly over inflated ego or no personality or a just plain mean temperament. A muscular body does not have the same cuddle factor that a more natural body has. Perhaps it is true that you can not have everything.
I like a little bit of grey-ish hair.
I like a bit of meat on my man – something to hold on to and something to drape myself over.
I like a bit of a geek – especially one who quotes movies and gets the silly little references in shows like Family Guy and Big Bang Theory.
I love a few tattoos.
I dont care if your job gets your hands a little bit dirty.

With the WordPress notification to Twitter and Facebook, I’ve had a couple of comments on this post today and its rather interesting!
@vinnievivace: godamn. according to that article im quite the bizness!
@jethrocarr: so a slightly-unexercised geek body is attractive? woot, there’s hope for me and it *doesn’t* involve a gym! 😉
@EliteWiring: nice little blog piece, couldn’t agree more. It didn’t mention a tradesman that can fix things, but it was close enough 🙂
And their comments are all true!
Most Kiwi guys are quite the business. But in general, as a whole, they treat women like absolute shit. And think that it is okay.
Well guys, its not. Even Australian men treat their women better.
