YOU SEXY THING - NEW POLL REVEALS WHAT TURNS YOU ON
NY Post ^ | 4/26/06 | Chris Erickson

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.)

When I was kid, my dad bet my sister and I we couldn't watch old Yeller withoug crying.

Later, while shelling out the dough, he called us heartless little cretins. That made me laugh.

Where have you been hiding for the last few months. Haven't seen you online in ages.

BTW, the poll about makeup was what MEN preferred, not what women DO. ;o)
