Close-up: Taste in Models

I’m wrapping each month with a “Close-up”—basically me throwing a question out there and seeing what comes back. Don’t be shy…drop a comment and join the conversation. You can also email me your response at bushnstache@gmail.com.

Today’s topic: Taste in Models

I'm going to end May with something fun and easy.

A lot of the comments boil down to, "Number 3 is my favorite," or "I'd take the guy in the boots." I get it. I do the same thing.

So this month I'm curious: what do you look for in a model?

I'm not necessarily talking about the kind of man you'd date or marry. I mean the guys in these photos—the ones we admire from afar and project all sorts of fantasies onto.

Do you like athletic types? Boy-next-door faces? Big muscles? Body hair? Mustaches? A great smile? Rugged and masculine? Pretty and beautiful? Tall? Short? Young? Mature? Something else entirely?

If it helps, feel free to name a favorite model as an example and tell us what makes him stand out for you, but that's not required. A sentence or two is plenty.

There are no wrong answers and no judgment here. I'm just curious where everybody lands.
