I know what boys like

A recent article in the New York Daily News touts a Playgirl Survey that says "Forget waxed chests and rock-hard abs. A new survey finds ladies like their men scruffy, a wee bit chubby - and definitely not a metrosexual."

"Playgirl asked 2,000 of its readers what they find sexy in a man and the answers were surprising: 42% said they thought love handles were kind of sexy and 47% approved of chest hair. Rich playboys need not apply - only 4% of those polled said the size of a man's wallet mattered. Metrosexuals are also out: 73% want a guy who is "rough around the edges."

After initially reading this, I felt a bit better about myself, seeing as how I'm certainly a bit plump, I don't shave my arms and legs, and I am by no means wealthy. However, it occurred to me that something was amiss.

Who really reads Playgirl anyway? I don't think its the ladies. I remember hearing somewhere that their readership is largely gay males. I could be wrong and I was unable to find any data to substantiate this.

I'm off for my Brazilian Wax.
