What do women look for in a male body?

Isn't that what I said? I think I've been misconstrued.

^Oh I wasn't replying to what you posted, just the orginal post. I think we are both in agreement, you are more subtle in your comments than me though.

^Ahhh, then it was I that was doing the misconstruing.

He took two showers this week

Isn't that sort of hygiene concerning? I can't fathom going more than two days without showering. One day is bad enough.

Me either. I take a shower every day - no exceptions.
But I see no point in making an issue out of it. I've nagged about him making messes in the house or things that affect me (I don't do this anymore, though cuz I'm working on letting little things go) but if he wants to be dirty it doesn't have that much of a direct affect on me so....

Yeah, you do have to let the little things go sometimes. But with me, man, if someone mucks around with the hygiene of my surroundings, they're out. It's finding what works and doesn't, of course. I'm glad it doesn't affect you, maybe you can teach me some tricks to let it go if it happens around me. I could definitely use that. Luckily I don't have a problem at present, but visiting my boyfriends mom/possible soon to be mother in law, she's extremely unhygienic and it gets us both really, really depressed.

Speaking of, when my ex was depressed he always showered less and didn't pick up anything. Is that what's going on with your man? I'd hate to think he's suffering, too.

You called?

Oh yeah I am much neater than he is and that used to be the subject of some arguements until I decided to just let it go. I HATE my place being messy but I can clean it myself or deal with the mess. But his personal hygene is something I never really harped on *shrug* I think its kind of gross but I guess he can do what he want's with his body.

Don't EVEN get me started on my mother in law. I stayed in their house for 5 months until I was able to get my own apartment. DISGUSTING god living there made me so angry. My husband is much neater than his family but still not as neat as mine. I'd caution you about dating someone who was raised by a messy person. There's just some things that you never learn in an environment like that. Eg we had an argument the other day about wiping the counters. He didn't want to because he couldn't see anything wrong with it. I pointed out some spills and some crumbs but he was still fine with that and didn't see why it needed to be wiped down. But really, can I blame him? Once, when I lived at his parents house, I saw them spill sugary soda all over the counter and walk away. drives me NUTS.


Possible, yes. Also suffers from chronic neck pain which causes headaches - I'm sure that doesn't help his lack of motivation. But also, as per above, just is not a clean person.

Yes, that's it. She bathes (as in, has an actual bath in a not terribly clean tub) once every couple weeks or so, occasionally more frequently. But the worst was when my boyfriend spotted she'd not cleaned mouse poop off of her microwave. She basically refuses to kill the mice in her house, and their urine and feces are, well, everywhere. The place is also so filled with mold it makes your throat burn for a while until you get used to it.

You're right in that it doesn't breed good habits with the kids who grow up like that, and my boyfriend does struggle, but he's always been almost OCD about cleanliness because of the way he grew up. He says he used to gripe at his mom about having her dirty feet on clean pillows he wanted to use, and would inspect all the food she made -- with good reason, as he was always getting food poisoning.

He's very clutter-happy, but he showers every day and loves to keep the kitchen clean, which is downright miraculous. His personal hygiene has improved since his depression from his teens has been clearing up, especially now that he realizes he has control over his own space when it comes to cleanliness. Imagine growing up like that when you're more naturally clean.

In the interest of staying on topic, what I find attractive in a male body is cleanliness. If it comes to just the body in this discussion, that is absolutely the prerequisite; if a guy has bad hygiene, I will most likely turn him down instantly. It would take a lot of personality to make me reconsider.

What I would find attractive in a male body is if that male body was in the middle of thoroughly scrubbing down the bathroom.

Women, in general seem to prefer a guy that is in shape, but not bulky (ie: distance runner types). Moreover, I have had more succes when I come across as a self absorbed a-hole, wrapped up in my obsessions, as opposed to actually giving a crap about 'her' as a human being. This makes me sad.

Yay! it's MisContrue !



Calm down MR_BOGAN no need to get excited.

I've heard something about women looking at hands a lot, like how a man's eyes gravitate towards the chest.
Is there any truth in that?

I don't particularly check out men's hands. But I can appreciate a nice set.

Take that how you will.

Not being fat, not being a smelly bastard
