    "Metrosexual" - that term still has me cracking up. Anyway...


    Playgirl's hunks? The hairy, chubby & poor!

    BY RIVKA BUKOWSKY

    Forget waxed chests and rock-hard abs. A new survey finds ladies like their men scruffy, a wee bit chubby - and definitely not a metrosexual.

    Playgirl asked 2,000 of its readers what they find sexy in a man and the answers were surprising: 42% said they thought love handles were kind of sexy and 47% approved of chest hair.

    The mag, which often features toned, hairless males in its beefcake photo spreads, is now searching for a man who meets readers' standards.

    Average Joes everywhere can send photos to [email protected] to compete for a shot at a pictorial in a future issue.

    Rich playboys need not apply - only 4% of women said the size of a man's wallet mattered. Metrosexuals are also out: 73% want a guy who is "rough around the edges."

    "This survey shows that the guy who's most attractive to our readers is not your average Hollywood hunk," said Playgirl editrix Jill Sieracki. "It's the average Joe who came up on top. Women are practical about their choices, and they're smart."

    New York matchmaker Janis Spindel, a self-described specialist at setting up "highly successful, well-educated, attractive professionals," confirmed the survey's findings. "It's scary, but women don't care [about looks]," she said. "Men are very superficial and very shallow."

    But Spindel disputed the claim that women don't care about finding a rich man: "Women want a man who makes more money than they do," she said. "They want to be able to live a comfortable lifestyle."

    47% "approved" of chest hair? Meaning 53% did not?

    Ummm... where are the men out there without hair on their chest? And are they sure they are men?

    Where the hell did this survey come from and what age group of women did they interview? Thirty five and older??? This news is severely flawed. If you are still looking for Hooters-type girls, nothing has changed; "I just want a cute guy!", "I need a guy who can buy me what I want, tee hee!"
