WHAT WOMEN WANT: BEER BELLIES AND HAIRY CHESTS

    MEN with beer bellies can relax and let it all hang out.


    Women have admitted they find them attractive and prefer real men to so-called metrosexuals, according to a survey.
    Eight out of 10 females no longer go for the tall, slim, feminine look sported by celebrities including footballers Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Rio Ferdinand.
    They prefer “real men” such as James Bond actor Daniel Craig and Philip Glenister, star of TV police series Life On Mars and its sequel Ashes To Ashes.
    Manly men complete with hairy chests, messy hair and a beer belly were the most popular, a study found, contradicting the popular belief that women found well-groomed, clean-cut men the most appealing. Only one in five preferred a metrosexual man. The rest found footballers Ronaldo and Ferdinand unattractive because they had taken the look too far with tight-fitting shorts and feminine accessories.
    In further good news for males, the study of more than 5,000 women found 10 per cent liked the smell of beer on their men. One in 10 did not mind their partners having “moobs”, the nickname for “man boobs”, and a fifth found “a bit of body odour” appealing. The biggest turn-offs were men straightening their hair, drinking cocktails by the pool, wearing sarongs and sunbathing all day on holiday.
    A spokesman for Lion Bar ice cream, which carried out the survey, said yesterday: “This is great news for real men this summer. They can get their roar back and ditch the moisturiser, manicures and tight shorts. British blokes can also wear their Speedos with pride, even if they have a bit of belly, and welcome the wolf whistles as they walk down the beach with pride.”


    There You have it folks. Bring on the Steaks!

    Perhaps, I don't think my mother has been here, but I was talking about your pics in another forum. My mom may be there but if she was she was fat/happy.

    She was her self.

    *wonders that due to the fact that he is one of the hairiest people on the planet does this mean that if he goes next friday with a 70's style unbuttoned shirt willthe womens be just to be turned on to talk to him*

    Careful now. If men can get away with it, women will think they can too. . .

    You're just jealous :p

    Us Brothers of long standing have discovered that Wimmins are irresistably drawn to us

    we figure it is a combination of girth and pheremones that provide an irresistable lure that younger men aspire to but cannot measure up too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1

    I understand women prefering the more masculine features, but where does it say that the women wanted fat bellied men?

    A prefrence for an an overweight man over an underweight man, but personally I'll wait for one that's just right. :), but that's just me.

    Are you saying a survey in a tabloid newspaper is not held in the same high standards as academic research? :eek:

    This survey was carried out on behalf of Lion Bar Ice cream, I will have you know. Nothing wrong with that.

    Personally, I have a bit of a belly that isn't out of proportion. Think of a Christmas pudding covered in dog hair.
