Men's Appearance

[Lily]

  The OP has not declared, however, his motivation in making this query.  I'd like to reveal the secret at this time as I am contemplating a career change.  I'd like to be one of those fellows who writes the article in Cosmo, with titles such as: "Your relationship: hot or not".  Armed with the information I gather here, and the methods of statistical science garnered from a lifetime of labor in the field, might propose an article with a tile such as: "Elephantine shocker - the ladies like a looker too!". 

Our current sample size in response is rather low and so the conclusions I draw from this study must be presented with the caveat of low statistical confidence. This concerns me, and so while still interested in ladies positions on the question raised in the originating post, I, however, at this time, do also authorize responses intended to offer council to me on my emerging career ambitions.     

For an article in glossy things like Cosmo, perhaps it would make sense to google something like 'male appearance', read through the findings, jot down a few key words, think a little bit, and compile an essay without lots of thinking. For a women magazine, that should do

We read Officiel, Hello, Elle and others not for the articles, but for the photos Looking at the photos, we made our minds working in the direction that is wanted by our souls

I like an imprint of intellect on a man's face (eyeglasses do help.)  A face without a trace of thought on it, be it as handsome as a Greek god's, will not impress me in the least.

You'd have to seriously downgrade your vocabulary and style to appeal to Cosmo's audience.

Someone like this? Is this a good angle?

This is even better:

A perfect specimen of male beauty.

If a woman can find a good man, she won't care what color your Rolls Royce is. 

Check out the choices a guy with two Mercedes in the garage has. There is an element of "What colour the car is" in any relationship, often more so in an international relationship and in some cases all so. They all care about the colour of the car and most will brag to their mates one way or another if the "Car colour" is a cut above the pack. Don't ever kid yourself otherwise.

oh well, just the appearance? okay here we go:

1. no hygienic issues
2. reasonably fit
3. no beard/mustache
4. short haircut
5. tidy hands (incl. nails)
6. appropriate footwear of good quality

... this will do for now

I like that list. It focuses on more than how much money someone makes or superficial qualities. It is the list of a thinking person. I particularly like the part about the shoes. Shoes/footwear are a detail that many people overlook.

Intelligence smelligence any man that look like this (or acted like this) would have any woman wrapped around his trigger finger.

If we talk about Hollywood male appearances, I'd say that Cloonie is okay. However, in my personal opinion, no other man on American screen outcompetes this one, when it comes to appearance:

For sheer Hollywood coolness, nobody tops Steve McQueen in my book.

OK ladies, here's a question I'm sure all the guys would like to know the answer to.

What do you prefer (find sexier)? An undershirt or no undershirt? Boxers or briefs or maybe a thong or going commando?

I forgot to include boxer-briefs. Kind of silly, because that's what I wear.

Dave, I don't think that I even know what things you are talking about

It is not important what is on. It is important WHO wears it.

I mean, a right person may wear anything and still be sexy for a woman. A guy however about who a woman does not feel right, may be a style icon but it doesn't help him.

Oh yes, almost forgot. His underwear must be clean

You are right there. There used to be saying "A man's man". The kind of man that other men would respect. Clark Gable was said to be that. Now as far as their ultimate attractiveness to women they might not be. Although I am betting they would still need a baseball bat to fight them off. The thing with a "man's man" he wouldn't care if he was ultimate in appeal to women or not. Which I would think to women would make him even more appealing. Self assurance etc.

O No!

Bad news, man, bad news!

 

[Avis]

my personal preference is
- no undershirt
- boxers


hope no one's going to ask about the ladies' expectations in the downstairs department?..

Seems like you are just dying to tell.  Perhaps you are one of those ladies who just loves a man's hands -- especially when big.

Lily, here in the United States it's a common subject, talked about jokingly among friends. They even made a commercial about it.

Where is the fun in that?

doesn't matter what kind of underwear as long as its owner has nice booty 
The opposite is also true

Why am I thinking this thread is headed for a "skid mark"?

While,many people overlook shoes ,

I dont think any  women in the FSU ever has.


A mans entire character seems to be able to be judged by it..

A couple of clever, attractive, single AW told me that in the first minute or so of meeting a new man at a singles bars they will check out his shoes and his watch.

Now you know.  A man should buy high quality shoes anyway (for the same reason as a high quality mattress).  And keep them shined.
