A British survey suggests women prefer "real men" with beer bellies and hairy chests to "metrosexuals" with tight shorts and manicures.
The survey of 5,192 women, conducted by Lion Bar Ice Cream, found 80 percent of respondents now consider metrosexual traits including hair straightening and frequent sunbathing to be turn-offs, The Sun reported Tuesday.
The poll also found one in 10 women questioned in the survey like the smell of beer on a man while a fifth of those polled said they are attracted to men with "a bit of body odor."
"This is great news for real men this summer," a Lion Bar spokesman said. "They can get their roar back and ditch the moisturizer, manicures and tight shorts this summer -- leave that for the footballers.
"British blokes can also wear their Speedos with pride, even if they have a bit of belly and welcome the wolf whistles as they walk down the beach," he said.
Liberal women/Feminists are attracted to metrosexuals because they see someone they can control.
For example, I don't see Carrie Prejean, whether she's British or not, ending up with a fatty.
I knew working on my beer belly would someday pay off..
Please though.. no speedos..
I bet she does not end up with a metero either..
Traits women prefer in “real men”:
1) Confidence
2) A man with a plan
3) Masculine without projecting it
4) Mentally, Fiscally and Emotionally stable
5) Serves family,God and country first before themselves
...that’s what my girlfriend tells me
I have a chest of beer and a hairy belly - does that count?
Great news for clumsy drunks!
..women prefer “real men” with beer bellies and hairy chests ..
My gut and hair have withstood the test of time..
My girlfriend LOVES my hairy chest and belly. She loves that I am a man without having to prove so. I carry the heavy things, fix the broken things, not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I love my mother and my woman. This metrosexual shit really irritated me a few years ago. Now I wonder how they’re doing... not so well, it seems.
It is hard to comment without knowing in what manner the questions were asked. I would think that the women were trying to say that they preferred sincere regular guys over slick pretty boys. It was a pretty funny story the way it was presented.
Sounds like you might have a keeper in that lady!
Memo to self:
check on airfare prices from PDX to London ASAP
A long time ago, back before Dear Abby flew off into MoonBat Land ( and obviously, before she assumed room temperature... ) she got a letter ( can’t recall the context ) from a woman reader who stated:
“I want a man that looks like a man, feels like a man, and smells like a man!”
I might add, I feel the same way about women- don’t want a damn hothouse plant doused in perfume- I’ll take honest sweat any day.
While I suspect this report might be goosing the hyperbole a little, at least it’s pointed in the right direction...
your girlfriend is right. glad you found one with some sense. it makes the rest of us look good too. :O)
How about airfair prices from PDX to ANYWHERE BUT PDX???
But now the bad news, they asked men.
