For the ladies, which do you prefer: Ruggedly Handsome or Squeaky Clean?

It's a pretty shallow question actually. I think most women have a crush on or fall for the rugged type (well, most girls I know). I am the squeaky clean type, almost anti-septic, but I do have a goatee (I feel so pathetic sometimes). Is it true that women prefer their men rugged or is it just an isolated case on my part? I want to know...

Hmm, somewhere in between. Laughing out loud! He doesn't have to squeaky clean, being neat is fine with me. As long as he is aware of his hygiene. As the saying goes, everything should start within yourself. How can you take care of other people if you can't take care of yourself? Same with, how can you love other people if you can't even love yourself? Happy myLotting!

Hey inky! I don't really know the answer to this question! I sometimes would prefer the rugged type and sometimes the squeeky clean type! It all depended on where I was at the time in my life! I now prefer the squeeky clean type because I am older and wiser! When I was young and crazy, of course I loved rugged and daring and handsome! But, like I said that was when I was young and nuts and daring myself! So it all depends on where someone head is and where they are in their life! So don't worry there are plenty of women that love squeeky clean and sweet smelling men! More then you think!

Yes..lol I am an older lady but doing a memory recall, I prefer both combined qualities into one man. I think facial hair is sexy. No reason to feel pathetic since some men can't grow facial hair. Be proud of who you are and wear your goatee with pride.

Hello inkyuboz! I honestly prefer a man who is clean shaven than a man who is rugged looking. I don't have such an attraction to a man who looks like he doesn't take a bath everyday. But it really depends upon the preference. There are some girls who are more attracted to a rugged but handsome man than a clean looking man and vice versa.

for me, its a combination of both. its not so much the rugged type but there has to be something mysterious there, something to be trying to figure out. i like a challenge. i like it when a guy looks good, dresses well, takes care of himself. facial can be a good thing on the right guy. honestly, the big thing for me isn't so much "the look", its more about how his look represents who he is whats important to him.

I like both. True , a guy with long hair and is wearing leather will xcatch my eye first but i see many a young dapper man who is wearing a suit that looks just as good. The key is to be yourself. There are many women out there who will like you just the way you are.

I really think that it depends on guys, like how they carry themselves. And for me it really doesn't matter as long as he looks good at it. But definitely prefer someone who's clean. But it would be fine if it'll be like in between.

If it is a case of who would get my attention right away, it would be the rugged type. I just find them as cool to hang out with. But those rugged type are not the one I would choose to be in a serious relationship with. When I mean serious, it's someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. So for someone I have to share my entire life, my future, my home, I would get along with someone squeaky clean.

It really depends on the guy. Sometimes i like the rugged type. some times the squeky clean. I cant explain why. But generally speaking women likes the rugged type. You know why? This type of guy has this kind of appeal that somewhat makes them look like a strong person, outgoing, that they dont care what others may say to them. something like that. They look exciting and not a bore.

It is so difficulty to me ,but I think it's time to think about it .@_@ Well, my boyfriend is not so rugged as I have ever dreamed,@_@however, I love him and as time went by, the feeling of love is more and more strong.@_@ So ,my friend , I think it's not important for a man whether rugged , handsome, squeaky clean or not. The man I loved is the one that love me and never give up me!@_@
