I Knew It All Along
My picture’s on the way:
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.
Chick Magnet, that’s me:
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
Check
and 47% approved of chest hair.
Er, Ill have to borrow Ken’s Ronco Chest Toupee…
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.”
That’s me!
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.”
Not surprisingly Janis is still single.
Hmmm, maybe this one:

My buddies have called me Chia-Chest for many years. Maybe it is time to turn my bear like appearance into cold hard cash.
Appearing in Playgirl would be about the only thing that’s gone well for him lately, as there’s been a…wrinkle…in Bingley’s triple X plans. Between this snafu and the ‘no more vibrators to Eva’ edict, I don’t know how he’ll come out of it.
One crushing defeat after another. Takes it’s toll. Got to.

It’s true though!!! Think John Biebe of “Mystery Alaska” or Jack Aubrey. Big old huggable teddy bears that will roar at all the right moments.
The “.xxx” domain bit was a particularly heavy blow, as I had already gone to great pains to reserve “coalitionoftheschwinging.xxx”.
Sigh.
“only 4% of women said the size of a man’s wallet mattered”
Yeah, that explains why it’s always the poor guys who marry women 50 years younger…
I must say, though, I find opposition to the .xxx domain rather interesting. I should think that the religious groups would favor segregating pornographers into one easily blocked domain.
As for men being shallow, I’ll never forget a line from some TV show (I forget the show, remember the line) in which a female character simultaneously blasted men for requiring all women to fit into one model of “beauty” and for having no standards because they’ll screw anybody. Cognitive dissonance sets in…
(Sharon, those wouldn’t happen to be the same GUY, would they???!!! I’ll take Maximus, since I got to see his manly chest the whole time. GAH-RRROWLLL.)
Chest hair? Yes.
BACK hair? No, no, a thousand times no.
(In leather, no less…)
These women who were in this survey cannot be believed, either because the people taking the survey wanted a specific result, or they’re just liars.
There are all sorts of women, and I don’t want to classify them as all being the same. There ARE dissenters to the rule that women dig men with money or potential for money.
This is not the only criteria, of course, but given a man driving a Kia and the same man driving a Porsche, guess who wins.
Trust me, I have a Porsche and I learned very late how important that was. Should have bought one at 25 years old. It’s not why I bought it, but it would have been had I realized its magical powers over women. As long as you don’t act like it is supposed to work on women, it will work every time.
Women who say that a man’s wallet isn’t important are just playing to the audience. Of course there are exceptions . . . .
