For me, those can be in need of work, but if the guy's got guns... *sigh*

...and now I really have to smile:
I had my response written but not send because I had other things to do.
and so I read yours after sending mine.

we do have different taste and that's good.

I adore smooth chested men. hair equals ape-look for me. I can get over some chesthair (preferably light colored) if I like the guy but a hairy back or a real furry chest/belly and I really have to close my eyes a bit.

and growing up he doesn't have to do for me, he's my age. born the same year. really grown up enough. he's 28. not a boy really.

you watched Buffy? you think James Marsters needs to 'grow up' too? I'm just nosy here, no offence intended. it's interesting, I think.

Jayne is exactly the type of man-ape that really doesn't do anything for me. too bulky maybe. and no offence intended here either it's just personal taste and it really varies.

No offense, darlin' - I understand that what works for me doesn't necessarily do it for everyone.

Yep, watched Buffy a bit. And yep, thought JM needed to grow up a bit too. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for the Puffy Back Syndrome (y'know, you hug him, pat his back, and it's puffy under his shirt? Ewwwwww!).

Just a bit of a smattering, really. Kind of a visceral thing that says: "Now here's a grown man!

I'm not a biologist or anything, but my guess would be that it's a hormonal recognition of adulthood or that he's reached mating age or something. For the "growing up" bit, I didn't really mean he needed to get older or anything, just that his body needs to "finish" maturing.

I could occasionally even deal with that... but I still GOTTA have those arms!

But there again, to each her (or his) own!

James Marsters is around 40 years old so what you gals see is all your gonna get with ol' JM. :)
I'm not sly either but I'd have to go with Mal as the hunk of Serenity. He's dreamy :P

still curious -
do you think that's something that changes with age? you 'sound' older than me. I'm now 28, you think I will find chest hair sexy when I'm 40?

and not every man does get chest hair. and I'm pretty sure lot's of them even get rid of it if they have to take their shirt of on TV. I think it's something someone gets when 'growing up' or not. so by the time he's 25 or so there won't be much chance anymore. true?

and on the woman side do you think older women more often apreciate chest hair than younger women?

biologicly you're sure right, would be a sign of 'manlyness' but to me it rather shows too much ape in my man. like them delicate in a way. maybe that's not "manly" or even not very male but then I'm not entirely hetero so maybe that's a clue.
big arms also do nothing much for me.
well defined muscles - yes.
bulk - no.

and I think that's a totally silly topic to discuss but I like to analyse my taste these days. time of self-finding or somesuch maybe.

but then I'm also a big Giles fan and he is hairy and big but not bulky big more lean big. but it's more the character I like than the body so maybe not. and then one can't be too closeminded, most guys in real life aren't goodlooking at all and they are still lovable. I tend to have boyfriends that don't match my physical ideal at all just because I tend to fall in love with them anyway.

sorry for making this gush-fest into a debate of physical attractions. it just intrigues me somehow.

I'm actually only 29 myself - for the only time!

I don't know if it has anything to do with the age of the ogler, and I know it doesn't really have anything to do with the physical age of the oglee... James Marsters is a good example. If he's nearly 40, he ain't gettin' any hairier... LOL

I would think so. Generally, chest hair sprouts when other signs of puberty hit, so if he doesn't have it by... my guess is 20-22, he's not going to.

Quote:

I have no idea... Maybe when I get older, I won't appreciate it so much, but I doubt it. It's kind of always been there for me. When I was a teenager, I was never into the boys my age, 'cause they were still boys.

Not really much for the slender/delicate man myself (obviously!

) - I'm not a small woman by any stretch of the imagination... Reckon I don't wanna feel like I'd break him if I hugged him too hard...

I'm not necessarily into bulky/huge, just well-defined or a bit more... Someone who spends time on their arms in the gym is going to get my attention - someone whose arms are like Ahnold's would turn me off... I don't wanna see your veins poking out like a separate entity!

Not silly at all. It's always good to know what you find attractive in a person. You have a better shot of finding & being happy with someone when you know what you're looking for...

Me too... Besides, I suspect the men reading this thread are loving reading what we find attractive!

OK one topic at a time:

Agh I just can't decide between Simon, Jayne, and Wash. I guess I could just take all three :P Mal never did a HUGE amount for me, I think Simon has him beat on angst--I gotta have an angsty man. The lovely fine-porcelain look to his skin...yeah...I dig that. Though I also love the "rugged I can break you like a stick" look to Jayne and Wash's lean look--go figger

ON chest hair:

I have a serious love/hate relationship with manly chest hair. I don't really LIKE it, but I can't help but laugh when I see a chest with little spattery patches of hair--so *shrug* I guess I like a man who's naturally average-hairy who shaves? I'm complicated

anyway, back from the land of the sick to have a deep conversation about chest hair....yup, dat's me

Well then they're going to have to lynch me right next to you, girlfriend cuz I'm in your camp. Beautiful smooth-chested fellas are great for the calendars and such, but for the real deal, give me a guy with a nice dusting on his chest any day.

*jerks* what? *blinks* oh yeah...

As an artist and a woman, I appreciate the male body as a whole but when it comes down to it, you know what I look for?

Hands... I look at hands (dunno what you all were thinkin'

). I'm talking about a real man's hands that are square, calloused and just this side of gnarly. These are hands that have WORKED for a living, but also have a sensitive... artistic touch.

OOooh Channy-girl, gettin me all shivery :) give me those long-fingered rough hands--the ones that can mend a fence, patch up a cut, then......oh you know :) I think that's probably most of the draw of Simon. DOCTOR'S HANDS :)

ANYWAY, I'll stop bein' trashy now !
