Chunky, Hairy Love ???

There’s renewed hope for the majority of mankind.
And a reason why portly comics Jack Black and Kevin James are now considered leading men.
New research has found many women are no longer turned on by the rock-hard abs and perfect-pecs of Calvin Klein-type models.
Which may cause most men to breathe out a big sigh of relief — just as they loosen up their belt buckles.
A recent poll conducted by a UK ice cream manufacturer found a shift of feminine desire away from the self-pampering "metrosexual" icon, and toward a renewed appreciation for guys with beer bellies and hairy chests.
The survey by Lion Bar Ice Cream found 80% of women no longer long for a tall, slim, fine-featured male.
In fact, more than 4,000 of the 5,000 women who took part in the poll said they’d rather an unkempt man, with ruffled hair and a bit of a belly, than a toned specimen like British football star David Beckham.
The news gets even better for those men who don’t really give a damn, and whose gym membership long ago expired. Even those among our gender too tired to get up to shower have reason to feel good about themselves this morning.
A fifth of those polled don’t mind “a bit of body odour.”
And at least 10% can’t see a problem with man-boobs and the same amount like it when their husbands or boyfriends smell like — not Old Spice — but of beer.
David Mitchell, a columnist with the UK’s Guardian newspaper, believes men should see this new data as a liberating call to less toned arms.
That it goes against what advertisers would have us think of ourselves. That women are begging us not to be like them.
“They’re right – it is too late for them,” he writes of women. “These customs are too ingrained: women will always be expected to shave their legs.”
Announcing the results, the ice cream company proclaimed to men: “They can get their roar back and ditch the moisturizer, manicures and tight shorts.”
But what they, and Mitchell, may have overlooked, is that the majority of our gender have never really followed the primped and conditioned image sold to us on screen and in magazines — even though, yes, we suck in our guts when you pass us on the beach and use our razors not just for our faces.
It’s not that we’ve been too smart.
We just knew it was too far to travel to get there.

In another thread I brought up the important issue of always looking at who the source of information is, as everyone has an agenda. I think this is a prime example. An ICE CREAM COMPANY says "statistics show" men should be fat....hmmmm.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA brit!
this guy was wearing what I would call "dental floss" eww
I've seen your pics on other topics ;)
There are thongs and then there are THONGS..
Mine is mink lined for super comfort and appeal.. (The Rolls Royce of thongs) :O)
metrosexual are just a metre away from being gay maybe that why some women prefer their man to be less vainthan them
I dislike them indeed, brit...
a couple of weeks ago I went to the beach.... there was this weirdo in a thong... yiak!
no no no
What ?
You cannot be serious.. You don\t like men in Speedos ?? I suppose you dislike Mankinis as well ?
I was never a big fan of men in speedos (fit or with beer belly).
Metrosexual man is dead. The era of the Retrosexual has begun. No more waxing or Speedo lines for us men… We’re going back to our roots…
Jim Beam?

What do you have against ice cream? Aren't Ice Cream Executives able to conduct a Sruvey?
lol
________________________________
i wonder where they got these poll results...who would want to be with a stinking man? well they want to sell their products so they have to come up with something like this lol... poor advertisement though
I can't believe that this made the news. An ICE CREAM company did the research for crying out loud!
So lemme get this right... I'm a sex symbol now? lmao
________________________________
Ice cream company....
They want people to eat more ice cream without thinking about their beer bellies.....
The beer companies would second the Ice Cream company's findings ...saying their "scientists" too found out how true it was.
And then the Fast Food joints would ratify/endorse these findings....
....lol
LOL fu!
and hence,look at my signature below...hehehehe

'cause we use to fall for the lines "Studies show..." "Scientists proved..." or "Dr. Ibranohovic from the University of Majslahastonia found that 8 out of 10..."
I'm still trying to get that video... It was REALLY interesting!
I wondder if there is anything that these marketing giants can't prove anymore? lol

FU, i actually got a video of how these polls are made specifically for marketing purposes, by large companies who hire a bunch of "scientists" to prove something for them, like to give them tools to tell people "Look, this is what most people want, and we offer it, so take it! Scientists say..."
Rubbish, that's it.
haha brit, looking good! Ready for the beach??
I am sure there is not a poll that would say "80% of guys like unshaved girls, or with a large belly and big arms." Is there?
These surveys are often conducted on questionnaires not scientifically approved. Also they are administered by sales people on the field at times.
The results can always be disputed.They are nothing more than fun material.

I definitely don't like hairy either.
Where exactly was this poll conducted? because they didn't ask me, that's for sure ;)
I know it is by an UK Ice Cream co., but they don't really say who did they ask, age groups, etc. Because I definitely do not stand bad body odor, and neither do ALL the women I know do.
hehe
I have always been comfortable with my Speedos and hair..
lol! but a bit of body odour??? its disgusting.
Life's a bitch and then you DIE! ;)
wowwwwwwwwww What a relief....
now have a better chance...lol
