NYS Troopers have a lot of these young guys out on 2 wheels at a local lake beachfront town. OMG! I almost jaywalked just to have a chance to talk to them.

i can redeem myself here... last year, i was pulled over by a handsome young Trooper while driving the real version of my avatar, with the top up. i think he was totally surprised to see a 49 yr old gal driving a hot car like that. he got a little flustered when he realized i knew why he pulled me over, i.e. no traffic infraction was involved. we had a very nice chat. and i milked it for quite a while, too.

Freshly showered and clean clothes to suit the days activities. Suits for weddings or funerals, slacks and shirt for most social events (unless summer in Phoenix and then shorts are ok), jeans and t-shirt for hanging around the house. Beard which is trimmed weekly or no beard is fine. A nice aftershave (Lagerfield melts me!!!). A bit of bling here and there.
I bought an ID braclet for hubby as a "just because" present years ago and the jeweler with a cancelled check was able to forge his signature on it. I took it off when he passed and am still holding it for our son.

I can't figure out where the beach bum look fits into this. Rugged, or just sloppy?

Beach bum? Rugged, but must have had a bath fairly recently.

Shirtless, hairless, tanned & fit. One earring (discreet). Smoking is a complete turnoff. Tattoos are a no no.

They have those fresh water showers at the beach. That counts, right? Right?
And if that fails, I always have my motorcycle leathers.

Those showers do count as well as a good swim on the pool. Hard work today is ok on the scent level but tomorrow it STINKS!

I'm surprised that a lot of the girls on here don't seem to be really interested in a guy dressing nice.
I posted this in the other thread...
I can tell you that I usually don't dress up but when I do I notice that it attracts attention.
Here is something that everyone can do just for kicks. I got on the website hot or not and posted a photo of myself smiling wearing jeans and a plain sweatshirt. And then I posted a picture of me smiling wearing dress pants and shoes and a dress shirt. I'm the same weight on each with the same hair style and clean shaven.
Dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt my rating was horrible people thought I was really ugly I guess. But when I posted the picture of me dressed up I was rated VERY high. So this goes to show you how much that matters I guess.
A girl I was friends with actually came over to the girl's house that I was taking to the prom just to see us dressed up. She was like giddy from seeing me dressed up....and she has seen me like 1000 times.

I like that outdoorsy look - jeans and a t-shirt or flannel shirt. How about this blast from the past:

I notice if a man is clean, shaven and dressed appropriately for the occasion. I also notice the quality of a man's clothing. If a man is wearing a suit, I notice if it is an expensive one or a cheap one. I notice his shoes.

The latter (or shorts!) if we are not going anywhere. When we were evacuated, I didn't care if Frank was wearing rags as long as the appropriate body parts were covered. The same is true if we are watching a DVD at his house or just enjoying a Sunday drive.
If Frank is taking me out to a restaurant or theater, he generally dresses nicely and I like that.
I don't ever notice the bling. Frank sometimes wears his Rolex but unless he mentions it, I don't notice it. The same is true for some expensive cufflinks that he sometimes wears.
And (even though I have never seen one down here where it's so hot and humid), I LOVE plaid lumberjack shirts! I think they are very masculine. Too bad that they just aren't very commonly seen any more. I guess they are out of style.

You have no idea. When our son was 6 months old I had to go to a 2-day meeting about 800 miles away. DH and our son came with me. On the second day of the meeting, DH was checking out of our hotel room with our son strapped to his chest in the Bjorn, suitcases in each hand. He passed a couple of maids in the hallway. One of them looked at him and said "Oooh, a tall man with a baby. You're perfect!"
We all got a good laugh out of it, but truth is, she was right!

Studies have repeatedly shown that no husband has ever been shot by his wife while he was doing the dishes.

Perfect requiring tallness, of course -- going back to what I was saying earlier...
