To hell with the hipsters!...let's talk about real men

[peacetraveler22]

In this photo, my ideal man! Rugged, a bit nerdy, kind, intelligent, good with his hands and incredibly creative. It's a rare combination, difficult to find in one human. Sadly, he lives very far away. Next week, I'll tell you about him and the town in which he lives. What do you think? Is he handsome? :) Of course, there's no single definition of a "real man." To define a man in only one way is sexist! :) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes sexual chemistry comes when you least expect it. However, since university, I've always been attracted to men like this, rather than macho personas or businessmen flashing money and fancy cars...Can you guess where he lives? Do you have a certain "type" of man or woman to which you're attracted?

I wouldn't say that he looks "classic handsome" like models (and good for him! imho) but I definitely agree that this manly-nice kind of people is super-attractive =)) especially considering the settings he's surrounded by in the picture

Can’t say he is handsome, but he is charming

I do not think DC is a place where you can meet someone like him.... MI, WI, ND, SD, MN.... close to the nature and Scandinavian roots

He's handsome))
And what does he do at the photo?

[golemming.livejournal.com]

I will bet on Australia. And any other questions in post are female only :)

[svabald.livejournal.com]

Women only? Now, you have to create a post about "ideal woman":)

excellent chaos, just like in my "laboratory"

[kuskus-kuskus.livejournal.com]

Привет. Как так пишешь, что я не зная английского все понимаю?Может быть , ты Настоящяя женщина?))

He is a Scot?

beauty, I, beholder

[elena-88888.livejournal.com]

I like clever men...
Fool ones are too boring...

[elinelisky.livejournal.com]

He looks kind and attractive, like a big cat. He seems like a nice person.
I think, if you both feels something to each other, you can try live together, no matter where.))
But... do he live in Russia?)))

Despite I am easy to walk in many people's shoes - never been able to judge men from women's point of view, therefore I will be of no input with regards to your questions :)))

By the way, Shannon, you are on a pretty slippery way: if one of your readers is in love with you and commits a suicide for not being your ideal man - will you accept such a burden? :)))

"kind" is all that matters.

[yarowind.livejournal.com]

Yes, he looks like real men:)

[red-but-sad.livejournal.com]

Oh my, I think my ovaries have just exploded! (don't tell my husband I said that) He's just my type and he looks amazing in this photo, especially with the nice side lighting setup. So where is he from? He definitely looks nordic.

His has too much hairs on his head (and it's not about his beard)

[danila kunichnik (from livejournal.com)]

A New Zealander?

[kisitir.livejournal.com]

something in his look seems to be familiar... is he you brother? :)
in any case, when talking of a real man I mean someone like this guy.

[notabler.livejournal.com]

The best man on the Earth - exactly my kind of. I don't even care how handsome he is

[scrawnypaws.livejournal.com]

Good humor (and that* twinkle in the eye) does it.) The rest is just packaging. He's a man after my own heart.)

[buddhistmind.livejournal.com]

He looks like an ordinary guy to me. There is a lot of such guys in Europe and Russia, like, each 1 out of 5 or 4 men. Half of my friends (guys) are like this. I'm also red/ginger :) He must be Irish/Celtic?

Attraction

[piterburg.livejournal.com]

This man is attractive - that is I would probably be attracted to him if I were a woman.

As for me - I certainly have a type. What it means is while I seem to like women of many races and ethnicities, including black and Indian ones, the type I seem to have explosive sexual chemistry with is quite narrow - women of Irish/English/French/German heritage, with fair skin that burns easily, green or gray bluish eyes and fair (but not blond) hair or auburn hair. Especially Irish-American or French-Canadian women. Beside that, loyalty, intelligence and being sex-positive are a must, extra points for being articulate. Athletic is optional, but being in good shape, height/weight proportional is not.

Btw, Russian men have a stereotype of women of those Northwest European heritages being frigid - little do they know..:-))

The types I am rarely attracted to are East/SouthEast Asian women, as well as most Russian women..

Хорошо но мало

You had to take a photo at full height, in order to enable women to really appreciate his manhood.

[kremlin-curant.livejournal.com]

He looks like a teddy bear after shaving the middle part of the face and downing a pint of beer.
