I am a total prep at heart. I love JCrew, argyle, bright colors, cardigans and sweater vests. I’m one step away from a polo match and having a friend named “Muffy.”
So it is likely no shock that the kind of man I’m attracted to is a preppy, clean-cut, Republican-looking (I said looking) man.
Some co-workers tease me about my taste in men, describing it as “clean.” I’m not quite sure what that means but personal hygiene is important to me.
I’ve mentioned on here that the image of Hugh Jackman shirtless in Australia (mediocre movie) and in a tux at the Oscars made my heart flutter because, well who doesn’t like a big, strong man dressed up or with his shirt off?
Good lord look at those arms!
Heart, flutter, flutter
Of my immediate co-workers, I’m the only one who isn’t attracted to the rocker types, so hearing about leather vests and rock n’ roll doesn’t appeal to me. But I nod along when they gush about it, and saying “agree to disagree” when they ask if I think certain men are attractive. I can be supportive, even if I don’t play for that team :)
I was attracted to Brandon over Dylan, Dawson over Pacey and find Nathan more attractive than Lucas.
No, I’ll take my frat boy, early Abercrombie-looking man any day. I’d rather see a guy fill out a polo shirt rather than a pair of leather pants (unless it’s Hugh Jackman) and talk politics and pop culture over a lovely Chardonnay or Savignon.
Yes that might have made me sound a little douche-baggy but I like my clean-cut boys with briefcases and polished look. Sighhhhhhhh. Actually, a guy in a dress shirt and khaki’s gets my pulse racing.
But there is one preppy bad-boy that makes my heart swoon, Chuck Bass. It’s the best of both worlds, prep glamour (and bold fashion choices) along with bad-boy mystique.
There is something about his bad-boy ways and philandering that I find irresistible. And I don’t know why.
Oh Chuck Bass, call me, we’ll shop Brooks Brothers before you take advantage of me in your penthouse.
So are you more of a “bad boy” or “All-American” kind of woman? Or guys, are you a Betty or Veronica kind of guy? And feel free to let me know where you fall on the Dylan/Brandon, Nathan/Lucas, Dawson/Pacey scale too.
