Researchers Say Women Secretly Desire Hairy Geeks

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.'"

    IMO unshaven does look sexy, but only LOOK. Don't go kissing that man. It's like rubbing sandpaper on your face. Ugh. It's either shaved or with a beard, but no in between!

    Our kids have no chance. They are going to be Sasquatches when they grow up.

    Just posting this has made me feel nothing but relief all day. Last night was the best sleep I can remember having. My massage therapist is going to wonder what happened. :D

    I'm going to look for a counselor for myself to make sure before we get things started... er, stopped?

    Reframing the problem has made the solution simple.
