It's odd - I've never met a woman who thought that Fabio-style hair was all that attractive, and I know no man does, so why do all those models have it?

I like guys with long hair. I really do. I also like guys with military short haircuts. I'm flexible on the hair thing.

What I don't like is the beefcake-y guys (they all look so Ken doll) on romance novel covers. It's nice, I guess, and I wouldn't throw one out of bed, though I would worry somewhat about a guy with less body hair than I have. I'm more pissed about the fact that they only ever show one body style. That's kind of limiting. I think we could use more variety. What about a sk8rboi? What about a flannel-clad, combat booted lovely lad? What about one of those skinny computer geek boys? (Yes, Goro, I'm talking to you.) Wall Street guy in pinstripes with the WASP haircut? Skinny redneck white trash. Black guys in dress pants. (Because they have asses that look really good in dress pants, where white guys frequently don't, okay?) Those absolutely lovely guys in martial arts movies? Andro goth boys. Gymnasts. Pimply sixteen year old high school wrestlers, even if I weigh more than they do.

I don't WANT all the guys in the world to look like Fabio clones in assorted colors. That'd be boring as hell.

In all fairness, a lot of straight-guy porn is skinny blond chicks with big tits, as per the archetype Jenna (who is currently, iirc, a brunette). They're nice, but doesn't anyone in the guy world see the appeal of some fuckin' variety? There are a lot of shapes and sizes and colors of women that are hawt besides skinny blond chicks with big tits.

Am I not looking at the right sort of porn or something?
