Playgirl's hunks? The hairy, chubby & poor!

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gos...4p-288635c.html

BY RIVKA BUKOWSKY
DAILY NEWS WRITER

Forget waxed chests and rock-hard abs. A new survey finds ladies like their men scruffy, a wee bit chubby - and definitely not a metrosexual.

Playgirl asked 2,000 of its readers what they find sexy in a man and the answers were surprising: 42% said they thought love handles were kind of sexy and 47% approved of chest hair.

The mag, which often features toned, hairless males in its beefcake photo spreads, is now searching for a man who meets readers' standards.

Average Joes everywhere can send photos to [email protected] to compete for a shot at a pictorial in a future issue.

Rich playboys need not apply - only 4% of women said the size of a man's wallet mattered. Metrosexuals are also out: 73% want a guy who is "rough around the edges."

"This survey shows that the guy who's most attractive to our readers is not your average Hollywood hunk," said Playgirl editrix Jill Sieracki. "It's the average Joe who came up on top. Women are practical about their choices, and they're smart."

New York matchmaker Janis Spindel, a self-described specialist at setting up "highly successful, well-educated, attractive professionals," confirmed the survey's findings. "It's scary, but women don't care [about looks]," she said. "Men are very superficial and very shallow."

But Spindel disputed the claim that women don't care about finding a rich man: "Women want a man who makes more money than they do," she said. "They want to be able to live a comfortable lifestyle."

OK, that clinched it for me - the rough thing I can understand, but that 4% statistic is laughable...

"This survey shows that the guy who's most attractive to our readers is not your average Hollywood hunk,"

Based on the above statistic, if this survey shows anything then it's that women (or at least the ones who read that magazine) really don't know what they want.

That sounds pretty damn sexist to me actually. Oh well.

"It's scary, but women don't care [about looks]," she said. "Men are very superficial and very shallow."

The bias in that sentence alone made me question the validity of the whole study. Sounds like the survey was written by a woman who's just been dumped by a good-looking guy, rather than an actual survey of women. Yes, I'm sure poor, overweight, middle-aged men are all the rage these days.

hmm..well i agree on the no pretty boy policy. altho i don't want a gorilla man, either. he doesn't have to be ripped. don't mind a lil love tub...just take care of yourself.

and honestly...if a man put on a five piece business suit that fit right..my head would turn regardless.
