Playgirl's hunks? The hairy, chubby & poor!
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."
Wouldnt mind seeing him in Playgirl.
Kathianne said:LOL -=d=-, I don't read Playgirl, but I gotta agree. When I was younger I wanted and got a 'brainy' guy, with great bod, and lots of $$$. I forgot to look at the mental health aspect! :smacking oneself:
Today, I date guys that interest me for whatever reason. While I'm not against a reasonable weight, I guess I'd rather they be more into me, than their abs/biceps. If weight and height are cool, they are relatively healthy, can carry on a conversation and like people-damn fine by me. Hairy is kinda a turn off.
Hobbit said:Awww, but what if they wear it (hair) well, like I do. I'm a pretty hairy guy (nothing on my back, thank God), but I'll be damned if I'm gonna wax my body like some girly-man. I mean, is it really that bad if a guy's just a bit, how shall I put this, fuzzy?
Oh, and I am so there with the ruggedness. I don't consider myself to really be outdoors if I get to sleep indoors, and I can start a fire with a bowdrill. I also like to kill things that I'm better than, stupid squirrels. I also don't care if I have a little padding in a few places just so long as I'm within normal weight. Only exercise I get is DDR and camping stuff.
....that's just really really gay.nakedemperor said:and Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johannson are divine.
I was just marveling at it's excessive gayness, not the simple fact of it's gayness.nakedemperor said:A+ for reading comprehension

Anyways, it does elicit a question:
Ewan McGregor aside, which do you prefer big hunky shaven guys, or hairy slightly overweight ones?
Because I know this Darin guy...
nakedemperor said:Hugh Jackman? He moved to Broadway and you might be in for a surprise... Wolverine is now a clean shaved, white suit wearing, piano laying, song and dance man!
ThomasPaine said:gals make up your minds... First it's ripped body, then metro/gay/guy. Now it's pudgy hairy guy. I think I'll just be me, fits me fine....
