Researchers Say Women Secretly Desire Hairy Geeks

Posted by samzenpus on from the do-you-want-the-moustache-on-or-off? dept.

jasper_amsterdam writes "The Daily Mail has a story about a study looking into women's preference for men. More specifically, about how women say they want one kind of man, but really want another. From the article: 'Most women claim to be attracted to tall, dark and handsome men, but a new study has revealed that facial stubble and a geeky personality are their biggest secret turn-ons. Despite complaining that it looks unkempt and feels rough to touch, the unshaven look on a man is actually a turn-on for 41 per cent of women. A slightly geeky personality came second, proving that women really do like a guy who knows their stuff when it comes to technology. A hairy chest was voted third, followed by a man who loves to read or cries at a soppy film.'"

    Geek or not, no woman will never be happy until we come factory-installed with an 11-inch schlong that shoots out free money.

      Well, there is a "money shot" but I have a feeling that's not what you had in mind.

    It's based on a poll, which would assume that women know what they want. This is not a good assumption.

    If there has ever been proof that Slashdot needs a special >5 score, it is this statement.

    My wife comes from an Italian family where all of the men are extremely hairy, and...

    As they say: "The couple that shaves together, stays together." oooh... Low blow. Sorry! And I wonder why my karma is consistently bad. (sigh)

    While 99.998 percent of men said they were turned off by an unshaven woman, 99.997 percent said they probably would anyways.
