Here is a summary of your report.<\/p>\n

You seem to like qualities often found in men some describe as “Bears.” They tend to be bigger guys, with full roundish or oval faces. Most have beards or some kind of facial hair. Typically, you can catch some chest hair peeking from under their shirts. Their nice smiles and warm expressions make them very approachable and so huggable! About half of all women (49%) say they find these men especially attractive. So, get in line!
\nThere’s something about “Outdoorsmen” that also appeals to you. These guys have a tanned, weathered look, along with ruggedly handsome features. You don’t need them to be “pretty” or even “very handsome,” but you are drawn by the masculinity and free-spirit they convey. These are not your “button down,” “don’t get your hands dirty” sort of men. About 1 in 4 women (24%) are drawn to these qualities as well.<\/p>\n

Faces known scientifically as “Ecto-Mesomorphs” repeatedly caught your eye. Men express this type in two ways. One version has a rectangular face shape that is long and narrow. The other type’s face shape is often compared to a diamond, because it is wide at the cheeks and then has a sharply angled jaw. All Ecto-Mesomorph men have striking chins that are prominent and squared-off with a crisp line at the base. This is one of the most idealized male face types and can be found on most movie and music idols. It can hold either bold masculine features or more delicate handsome features, or some sexy combination of both. These men also tend to have lean and muscular builds when they’re young. About 78% of other women especially prefer men with this face type.<\/p>\n

Balanced Approach: Your taste in men is very similar to other women your age. You can quickly spot the most handsome guy in the room, but you can also appreciate the more “mainstream” or “normal” good looking guys as well. You probably struggle with balancing your natural instincts, which draw you to good looking guys, with your desire to find smart, mature, and well-rounded men. Even though you typically picked handsome men in the test, you also seemed to recognize the difference between “eye candy,” men who are just nice to look at, and more approachable cute guys.<\/p>\n

One body type that seems to appeal to you is scientifically called “Endomorph,” which roughly translates into solid, stocky guys. He’s not overweight, but his big bones, muscles, and overall mass make him hard to miss. Most would say he has a real “presence.” His broad shoulders and big arms convey a sense of safety. This is not a guy to mess with. Although he is prone to gain weight over his lifetime, at this point he doesn’t have a “pot belly” or “love handles,” and usually carries any extra weight in his hips and butt. This type usually makes up 7% of single men. Telling signs of this body type include wide and curved jaws, round faces, “chubby cheeks,” a boyish look, a very short and wide neck, plus larger legs and butts. Weight varies, but at 5’10” many of these guys will weigh about 225 pounds.<\/p>\n

A strong, masculine nose is a big turn-on for you. Although you liked men with a variety of noses, you seemed especially interested in men with “Roman” or “Hooked” noses. These noses usually look long from the front with some extra width at the nose bridge. From a profile, you can see the classic arch or a sharp hook downward. These noses are especially common among men of Mediterranean descent.<\/p>\n

Aside from the specific face types and features you like, there is often an overall “quality” about a man that makes him especially appealing. There’s something about his style and the personality he conveys that sets him apart. Next, we illustrate two “looks” that capture some of the common traits we saw across your choices.<\/p>\n

A good head of hair is a real turn on for you. You liked men with a variety of hair styles, but you seemed to have a special interest in men with full, wavy hair. Whether the hair was short, medium, or long, you’d rather see hair with body and texture than straight, stringy hair. Waves and light curls tend to give men a certain “boyish” quality that you seemed to like. And it’s by far the best hair to run your fingers through!<\/p>\n

Hair Length
\nYou liked men with a variety of hair cuts, but you gave special attention to men with medium length hair. Good hair on a guy seems to be a real turn-on for you, but the right length is important. You like the hair just over the ears and long on top. You’ve got to have enough hair to run your fingers through, but you don’t want a guy with hair that’s longer than yours!<\/p>\n

Hair Color
\nYou liked men with a variety of hair colors, but you seemed especially interested in men with deep, brown hair. In the test, you picked a definite subgroup of men who had a variety of different features and “looks,” but many had dark brown hair. This seems to fit with your overall interest in handsome MEN, not boys. Blondish guys can appear too boyish for you, while darker hair represents a more serious, masculine look.<\/p>\n

A bald or shaved head on the right guy can be a real turn on for you. You seemed to give men without hair special consideration in the test where others dismiss these guys. It’s their loss and means less competition for you! You understand the very sexy and masculine quality these men bring.<\/p>\n

Facial hair on the right man can be a big turn on for you. Whether it’s a beard or goatee, if it is neatly trimmed, you seem to give these men a second glance. In fact, the photos you chose in the test are very similar to the photos picked by women who often say they love facial hair on men. Maybe you find masculine-looking men especially appealing. Or, maybe you just like the way beards tickle you in all the right places!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
