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.)

And Dems more likely to think that Terms of Endearment is a better movie than Casablanca.
Your a freeper. That's HUGE. LOL
Being a freeperette is sexy?
OK, then! I feel much better.
Oh man....just getting back from a boob job & botox injection. What's this article about anyway????
being a freeperette is far superior than being a Playmate of the Month. LOL
Ya forgot the J-Lo butt implants. ;o)
Playmate of the Month gets airbrushed!
It's basically about how groovy comb overs make a guy look.
You're kidding? LOL
So does this mean that I, as a 52 year old woman, should forego a little nip and tuck and let my jowls sag, and my facial wrinkles get deeper?
Get into the best shape of your life instead. 52 is a spring chicken. ;o)
Oh, believe me, I'm working on it!
And having fun!
Hun,
Don't fret about what men think.
Attitude and liking yourself goes a long way in happiness.
Remember what said when I looked at all those old pictures? I thought I was fat, old and ugly then.
Now I don't.
And neither do you about you.
Good for you! Best wishes.
