  • Based on looks alone? Rugged ... facial hair and tattoos are even better.

    I'm lucky my boyfriend fits that looks-wise, but he's also the geeky type that I like inside :)

    Rugged...and no pretty boy rugged.

    Tall...with scars who looks like he's lived a little. Give me laugh lines and a little grey hair. No men who look like buff Stepford wives.

    I like ALL THE MENZ!!!!


    But I prefer one above all - my husband. :) He's a bit of both.

    Strong/Rugged man with a dash of nerdy works for me. I found him but he lives back home. :cry:

    Strong and rugged! I don't like men that are pretty like a girl.

    Rugged is nice. I have pretty broad tastes when it comes to what I find attractive in a guy and I definitely prefer those with imperfections. Men who are beautiful/perfectly sculpted are lovely to look at - like fine art or sculpture - but I don't really feel attracted. I like men warm, human, approachable and a bit rumpled.

    strong and rugged! If he has ink that is also a huge plus. Alpha type.
  • A rugged looking man with a few imperfections. That's how I chose my husband.

    Clean shaven, perfectly sculpted men are pretty boys in my book. Bleh!

    Mine is strong and rugged with a youthful face and it’s perfect to me. Thank goodness for his scruffy facial hair though or he’d look 15 years younger!

    Strong rugged man!
    A man who looks like he spends less time in the mirror than me and has than manly man nature to take care of me.

    Yeah!

    Strong, rugged, masculine, confident, preferably with a physically-demanding job or business owner.

    Thank goodness I married one. Just wish I could get him to grow some facial hair, and he'd be spot on.
  • Something about a strong rugged man in a uniform gets me. But I do like the handsome buff gym guys too. Im sure there are guys who are both. As long as he's about 6 foot and up im good.

    It all depends on what I see in their eyes.

    My BF is strong/rugged with facial hair and tattoos but he cleans up exceptionally well and it doesn't take him long either. Add intelligence, humor and the fact that he's a good daddy = winner.

    I like a man who is strong, rugged, and manly with gorgeous eyes and he can wear a suit and tie as well when the occasion dictates.

    My man is handsome/youthful/strong/rugged all mixed in one. How is this possible? I don't question it. I just enjoy it.

    Well, strong is a prerequisite, regardless of age. Rugged ... depends on what you mean. The way you juxtaposed that with "immaculately groomed" makes me think you're talking about a dirty, hairy woodsman vs. a clean-cut, career oriented guy.

    Masculinity is a turn-on for me. A big one. I'm into strong, confident, dominant men. Proper hygiene is a must and the ability to dress himself appropriately for all occasions (or at least willingness to wear what I tell him to wear) is critical, but if he spends more time grooming himself than I do, it's probably not going to work.

    The age thing ... it's less important to me than it used to be. I know who I click with and who I don't, and that's dependent more on lifestyle and attitude than age. But there is something really hot about an older man (older than I am, I mean) who works out and keeps himself in good shape. It's like he's past the frat guy stage and has his life together, but he's still young enough and active enough for the fun stuff. That combination makes me a little bit crazy.

    My SO is a strong rugged man.....very handsome (in my eyes since handsome is a perception issue and not a quantifiable thing)

    and he's young...

    so I get all four...strong, rugged, handsome and youthful...

    GO ME!
