Well, I took a look at the guys’ wrinkles, based on the premise that they are caused by their “habitual expression” which would tell me something about their personality. 
Without reading any other replies:
- Looks like a needy sad-sack who may use poor english - unattractive
- Looks like a nervous, fastidious type who thinks he’s a sharp dressser but isn’t - unattractive
- Looks like he woke up late for the funeral, church service, or promise keepers meeting - unattractive
- Looks like a slobby guy who’s shy with women - if forced to pick one, he’d be it.
I read a few of the responses and here’s my take on these guys…
#1 - He looks like a nice guy and is probably a good listener. Looks like someone just killed his puppy though and he doesn’t seem to be too thrilled with having his picture taken at this moment. I’ll bet he’d be someone fun to take to the bar, watch a football game, eat buffalo wings, and drink beer with.
#2 - Looks nice, probably well educated, hardworking, has a good job, loves his mother, and was giving some kind of salute to the camera!
$3 - Looks like a guy I went to high school with. I’d say he’s married, maybe not happily, has a good job but doesn’t really like what he does. He likes to look his best and always has his hair fixed!
#4 - Looks sweet and innocent but is kind of a rebel. Probably likes to party and drink and is considered the “cool one” in his circle of friends. Reminds me a little of Anthony Michael Hall in Sixteen Candles but I don’t think he’s a nerd!! lol
If I had to choose one of them I’d go with either #1 or #4 because they look like they’d be fun to hang out with.
#1 - Looks like a bit of a jerk to me. Like he’d make fun of the geeks in some of the other pictures. Much to frat-boy-ish for my taste.
#2 - I definitely like him. Looks a little geeky, which is totally my thing, but also looks like he has a sense of humor, which just enhances the whole thing.
#3 - Not bad looking, but just doesn’t do much for me. I might flirt a little, but that’d be it. (Unless of course his personality was totally different than expected which could swing things the other way.)
#4 - You say he has tattoos?? I’d totally want to rip his clothes off to find out where. (And if they’re somewhere boring like on his arms, I’d keep going anyway. 
) I can’t put my finger on it, but I find him very attractive.
From a guy’s standpoint, these comments are VERY interesting. I can’t wait to find out what this is about. It’d be interesting as well to get the male take on 4 pics of girls.
To tell the truth, petelin, that’s largely the point behind this whole exercise. This is indeed interesting from a guy’s viewpoint, and quite illuminating.
I’ll post a couple more polls like this soon.
Well, I’m a (heterosexual) guy too, so I know I’m not really part of this survey, but I just had to comment:
That number three guy absolutely triggers all of my base instincts of warning and danger. I’d have nothing to do with him. I can imagine him living it up in an overseas tax haven in a large mansion he’d bought, while back home he’s a declared bankrupt, and people who had bought shares in his company are having their houses foreclosed on by the bank. On a smaller level, I can imagine him cutting you off on the freeway in his expensive (but tacky) convertible, or bumping into you hard on the footpath knocking your groceries out of your hand, and when you look around expecting to see this stranger mumble an apology, you instead see the back of his head as he strides off without missing a beat. Forcing his elderly mother to give him power of attorney against her will, putting her into a cheap and nasty retirement home, and selling the family estate. That sort of thing. DEFCON 2, that bloke.
Whoa. Quite an imagination you have there. :eek:
I hope it’s not you.
I only skimmed a few responses- didnt want to be disuaded.
#1) I think he looks friendly- just caught after yawning or something. He strikes me as Irish for some reason too. I think I would have fun throwing back some beers with this one.
#2) A guy who’ll wear pinstripes is appealing. Not really my type by look of the photo- although he does seem like he would have a fantastic smile. Looks friendly.
#3) Not so sure about this one. Maybe he doesnt belong in a suit- doesnt suit him or something. I dont know- he looks like someones older brother and i’m not sure what I mean by that. 
#4) I love this guy. He reminds me of the guy who plays Finch in American Pie. Cuter though. He seems like someone I could joke around with. Approachable.
So, JThunder… Have the guys read what we’ve been saying? Are they offended? Have their heads swelled up?
taxi78cab- Watch it lady, Mr 4 is MINE!
Okay, my $0.02-
-
Can’t get a read on him at all. Need to talk to him in person. Could be really nice guy, could be fratboy asshole. Very closed person?
-
Type A personality - Mr. Business, all work and no play. Very tightly wrapped.
-
Looks like someone with a good, quirky sense of humour. Looks like someone I would hang around and crack off-colour jokes with.
-
Nice guy, bit of a weenie. What’s up with the '50’s do?
-
I’m way prejudiced against gold chains. If I mentally Photoshop it out, I like him much better. The lighting etc. make this photo look like a snapshot from a college-type party where nothing’s happening and the conversation is drunken, which doesn’t help. And, yeah, he looks really young; I’d guess 21ish.
-
If he’s kidding with the mind meld thing and usually smiles more (and if I were single and looking), he’d probably be the one I’d ask out. He’s handsome and looks like he could be smart, interesting, funny, and not too tall for my taste—I like 'em where I can reach 'em. His glasses make him look closer to my age than #1, maybe late 20s, early 30s.
-
My first reaction was “Poor guy, looks like someone snapped his picture with a bad flash from an unflattering, nostril-highlighting angle right after the most boring business meeting he’s ever had to sit through.” I was really surprised by all the posts that think he looks arrogant, and I must be behind on my GQ subscription but the tie looks unremarkable to me. His looks don’t grab me, though that might just be the picture, but he’s definitely too damn tall. If he was a friend, I’d badger him to shave. I’d guess his age at late 30s, early 40s.
-
He’s cute—traditionally-cute enough that I’d wonder if he knew it already, but if he’s not full of it he looks friendly. If his smile lines are still there out of the sun, I’d look at him twice. The shadow makes it hard to guess how old he might be—could be anywhere from sixteen to forty.
So when are you telling us what this is for, JThunder?
I say that we ignore this until he tells us what this is for.
Or keep badgering him.
Jeeze. Note to self: ALWAYS use red-eye reduction to avoid satanic dog look.
#1) Could be nice. I have a feeling he’d spend an awful lot of time talking about his ex girlfriend. He’s cute, could use to lose 20lbs and the sweatshirt.
#2) I get nothing from this guy except embarrassingly stereotypical impressions – that he must be a tech guy or something of that nature. Or maybe he is an account executive of some kind, although he looks very young. He’s handsome.
#3) Joe salesguy. It’s a shame the picture isn’t better. Would have to get to know him to get any impression.
#4) Could be nice. Self effacing. Possible depression problem.
Oh, fine. Fine. You people win.
To cut a long story short… This whole exercise is to help a couple of people find out what women find physically attractive in a man. The use of photos was deliberate, as this provides some foundation for concrete discussion. (I didn’t want to just ask a bunch of questions or rattle off a list of characteristics, as that would be a bit too abstract for this purpose.)
And yes, I’ve shared some of what you’ve said with a couple of these blokes. One of them was rather flattered, and neither one was offended. There’s been a pretty good mix of positive and negative comments all across the board, so I think it would be hard for anyone to take too much offense.
Buzzkill.
I feel like I have been robbed of an orgasm.
What if I sent guy #2 your way? Would that help?
Well, that’s kinda…stupid. Everyone has their own idea of what’s attractive. None of the four guys is obviously ugly, but attraction has a lot more to it than just physical looks.
