Road construction workers. Jeans, orange vest, work boots, dusty, sweaty, sun-browned… oh, yeah. I love detours.
Bicycle messengers. Nimble, strong, and with that insane everyday daring.
Computer geeks. Mostly because I love someone I can talk to about actually interesting stuff, but there’s something about the image, too… brilliant, intense, bizarre, obsessive, sloppily dressed and fun to be around. If I find one of these, we’ll settle down and build a little LAN together…
Anyway, I agree with writers, pilots, and teachers, as well as young idealistic overworked politicians…
I’d add photojournalists, because I think of them as sexy guys with muscular legs and social consciousness…maybe journalists in general, because I think there’s something very sexy about the “globetrotter”.
I most certainly second “skateboarders.” I like trick bike guys, too. I drool watching the X Games on ESPN!
Also, I second guitarists. I think a lot of guys start playing guitar simply because they know it’s a babe magnet. When the guy I like started playing my favorite song, “More Than Words,” without my requesting it, I thought my heart was going to explode. Plus, I creamed my jeans, big time. Mmmm… guitarists…
Movie stars: Although there are some very hideous actors out there (such as John Turturro and Tom Cruise), the vast majority are extrememly attractive. But I don’t think that I would consider many of them attractive if they were just normal guys (people like Michael Douglass and Jeff Bridges). I’m weird.
I have always found women gardeners -you know the professional ones- sexy. All sweaty, a bit dirty, tight shorts and t-shirt, a big machine roaring between their legs…

Any man who hears the phrase “lots of RAM,” giggles, and then says “Will a meg do?”
Geeks are hot. Not only are they brilliant, inventive, and usually really kind…they’ll never cheat on you. Where are they going to meet another fem-geek?
Besides, once you take their belt off, they’re totally helpless. Course, they do start begging you to just give back their Palm, cell phone, beeper…
Nerds. Especially with glasses.
More specific nerds: Astronomers, writers, theater techs, engineers, musicians [sub]especially flute players[/sub], librarians.
I’m a complete loon for guitarists, and probably any dude in a band.
Bartenders, especially when they take a liking to me and give me free drinks.
Engineers can be sexy, except if you get a few of them together and they begin rapidly chatting with each other in jargon. Then they become the anti-sexy.
Doctors can be sexy, if they aren’t doing anything rank to you, and they’re smart and they make the bucks!
Comedians are often sexy.
You know, trumpet players ought to be considered sexy, I mean, they’ve got the lips goin’ on. (former trumpet player here, so I’m biased.)
I know I’m leaving some group out… ah, I know. Horse riding dudes… I’ve seen them all dressed up in those ‘lippizaner’ shows and also once when someone dragged me to one of those ‘watch people do medieval knight fighting on horseback while eating a bunch of mess that is supposed to be dinner’ shows. I was bored insane, and had a headache, until I noticed how very, very muscular all of the dudes’ thighs were in there nice knight tights. Then I needed to eat some chocolate.
I vote for computer programmer dudes, and women in nice business clothes who work at nonprofit legal clinics and who want to go on a camping honeymoon to British Columbia.
