Survey: Studmuffins Are Hairy, Chunky, and Poor

According to a Playgirl magazine survey of 2,000 readers and reported in the NY Daily News, women are unimpressed with "waxed chests and rock-hard abs" and much prefer scruffy, chubby men who are "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."
And metrosexuals are definitely out. Women don't want a man who one ups them on manicures, hair styles, or body lotions.

As a consequence of the survey results, Playgirl is now looking for that newly-defined studmuffin, presumably for a feature photo spread. So, guys, put down the beer and send in your best beefcake snapshot to models@playgirlmag.com.

1 Lol. Hope this loss of interest in shaved, muscly and girly effects casting for movies and TV.

5 Women may be "practical" about their choice of mate, but this is another way of saying "ruthlessly mercenary"; they go where the money is. That's all there is to it, bottom line.

7 "...they go where the money is." Brother, ain't it the truth. I photograph weddings for a living, and I see lots of hot chicks marrying guys that lack severely in the studliness category, but are more than adequate in the "ka-ching!" category, and are pretty damned nice guys, to boot. Not only that, but most of our clients who end up divorced are the ones who married the studmuffins, either because they strayed, or they didn't appreciate the girl they married because she's nothing special to them. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that an average Joe is going to treat a hot girl like a princess, whereas to the oily variety bohunk, she's just another of many sluts he's banged, and therefore nothing special.

8 They go where the money is. Ha, Ha. So true, so true. Some will even try to break a marriage up hoping to be next. Are we giving the ladies a bad name here? Let me see. I know and we all know of multitudes of beautiful young women marrying rich, ugly old men. Anyone know of a beautiful young woman marrying a poor, ugly old man? But can you blame them. The old fart will probably soon die and leave them millions. Can anyone decipher what A FINN just said. A FINN you are not sharing again. You must share.
