April 26, 2006 -- FAKE breasts are a turnoff, men say, and wrinkles beat Botox. Lumberjacks are hot, women believe, but men who cry at the movies are not.
Cooking, meanwhile, is sexier than fixing a transmission. These are among the findings of a new poll by Zogby International, which asked 1,000 men and an equal number of women what they find sexy. The poll was commissioned by NBC's "Today" show, which will air the results tomorrow and Friday.
The news is bad for plastic surgeons - while Botox and silicone get pumped into female bodies by the tanker-load, it seems men prefer the natural look. Only 6 percent of men said they preferred Botox to wrinkles, while 69 percent deemed breast implants not sexy.
And only 30 percent of men prefer makeup on their mates; 50 percent would rather they ditch the lipstick and go unadorned.
The message for women: "From wearing makeup to Botox, it ain't what you think it is," said John Zogby, president of the polling firm.
Younger men are much more likely to find cosmetics a turn-off, and women who ask them out a turn-on - among a number of signs that definitions of what's sexy are steadily changing, said Zogby.
"What we see is a slow and steady redefinition" of what's sexy, he says. "The old stereotypes seem to be breaking down, and the definition of what guys look for is changing."
Women are clinging a little more tightly to stereotype, however. For instance, the new paradigm of the sensitive man aside, breaking down during "The English Patient" is more likely to do you harm than good - women find men who cry at the movies unsexy by a two-to-one margin. (Though Democrats are more likely than Republicans to find cinematic sobbing a plus.)

For women: Any resemblance to Pissant.
You know, I have cried at movies - when Spock died in THE WRATH OF KHAN for instance - but THE ENGLISH PATIENT? C'mon! The most over-rated flick of the last twenty years!
As for the rest, yes, legs and tush! And if she can handle a Sig with authority and is more conservative politically than me, so much the better.
BUMP?
Breast implants are not sexy
The last movie I remember crying in was when they had to put old Yeller down. I mighta cried in Steel Magnolias if I hadn't been sawing logs. ;o)
I KNOW that question mark was a typo!
Especially on 55 year old women, combined with a Joan Rivers face lift!
Most of what women do for their appearance is to compete with other women.
I've yet to see a facelift improve a woman's looks
"Hi, my name is Jack. I mean, Jacqueline..." :O)
Good grief, who is, or should I say who WAS, that?
Yet, somehow, the message is getting out to these young gals that they look better with fake breasts. The Pamela Anderson look is apparently still "in". Yikes.
"- but THE ENGLISH PATIENT? C'mon! The most over-rated flick of the last twenty years!"
Ex-cuse me for my lack of "sensitivity", but I generally try to avoid movies about various sick people or people with extreme medical conditions that make "inspiring" recoveries and overcome great odds, etc. I'm a wuss when it comes to sick people.
I also don't like and won't go to see movies about boxing, or most sports unless they're funny. And forget prison movies unless they're about wild women with clevage and popping blouse buttons or Linda Blair, unfairly imprisoned and barebreasted in a bathtub in the slammer. That's "socially redeeming" to me.
Wasn't she on Cheers?
Does a man think a woman sexy if she feels sexy ?
'tude (confidence) goes a long way, actually.
Now that is a shock.
Millee, how'd you miss this?
good thing, pissant, because I can't cook worth a darn!
I do have other redeeming qualities...somewhere...
