Oh. My. God. Get your mind out of the gutter. Oh wait, we’re at a review site that promotes pantslessness, so, carry on.
But I MEANT hair. In my newest release Summer School,
I always say I could never date a guy who has nicer hair than I do, but I do love guys with long hair that is well taken care of. Not just pulled back in a ponytail all the time or looking ratty. And please, once you start to go bald, do us all a favour and keep it short. When we were in New York City last fall, they were filming an episode of Nurse Betty in a park near our apartment. Walking by one evening there was a young man wearing torn tights (I presume an actor) with gorgeous thick wavy chestnut hair. Let sigh. Kind of like this guy.

When I write a story, if the guys are in my head, I tend to keep an eye out for pictures that I think might fit my character. I’ve never seen anyone with perfect Lucas hair (Willy as a natural blond would be closest), but I did find these guys and they are pretty close.
Add about another 6 inches to the hair, and Lucas would never smoke.
Definitely Lucas’s body type, but no tattoos and add another 6 inches to the hair.
Pretty close except no uni-brow. O_o
Pretty close but Lucas is definitely not as fem and pretty as Andrej
So tell me, how do you like your men? I should also be clear; I like guys with short hair and medium hair as well. Lover of diversity, thy name is Tam.

English teacher Jeremy Decker's split with his boyfriend has left him with no plans for the summer and credit card debt. One solution is to teach summer history classes. College history major Lucas Van Sloan is brought in to assist Jeremy, thrilled to have a summer job that doesn't include supervising kids at the hometown swimming pool.
A summer heat wave has Jeremy more snarly than even upbeat Lucas can handle. Lucas drags the teacher back to his place and out of the heat, determined to drag Jeremy into his bed while he's got him there. However, Jeremy's ex isn't quite ready to let go, and a college student may be no competition for a high-powered attorney.

Tam, I love a man with long, straight hair. Preferably dark red (high school crush, still blush thinking about him years later), hair down his back, lean and wiry, although huge and solid works too. Not muscle bound, not pretty. Interesting face, large hands. OK stopping now…lol
ReplyDeleteMelanie (back to watching the Olympics)
Hmmm. Sounds yummy. :-) I doubt you'll find many guys with long hair at the Olympics, it usually interferes with sport, although maybe something like soccer, where speed is not an issue like athletics. We won the womens's soccer game today. Not my fave sport, but I'll take a win.
DeleteOne of my friends has a real thing about men with ponytails and even better if they're pipe smokers! But I really LOVE men with strong forearms - it just really does it for me! :))

PS Is there some important sporting event on, Melanie? Had no idea ... :))
That's a pretty specific type. Are there many pipe smokers around anymore? Who are under 75?
DeleteHow do I like my men? Hmmm...lately, I find tattoes very enticing, on atheletic body types, with some body hair. But my taste can vary with my mood, lol! My secret crush is on Randy Harrison who played Justin on Queer as Folk (US version) altho Charlie Hunnam from the UK version turned out FINEEE! Maybe I have a thing for naughty twink types??

I'm all in favour of naughty twinks. :-) My preferences change with my moods too. Young and hairless one day, older and furry the next. Variety is good, after all, who wants to enjoy the same meal day after day. :-)
Delete(I posted in the wrong place so deleted and redid it properly. Sorry)
I've always had a thing for long well groomed hair on men. I can do short and everything in between though too. All I ask is for it to be taken care of! And as far as body hair goes I like every type ;) Men are just nummy!
ReplyDeleteKassandra

Yes, definitely taken care of. Nothing worse than straggle unkept hair, of any type.
DeleteI like shorter hair but it needs to be long enough to run your fingers through. Maybe about 3 inches of hair, a little messy but nice and soft!
ReplyDeleteAll the guys I know with long hair have that thin, greasy hair... University boys in the history department at my school don't seem to know hygiene!
I am glad to know Lucas has better standards then the fellas in English History last semester! And don't get me started on the guys in Medieval Society. *Shudder*
LOL No, Lucas spends a lot of time blow drying it and keeping it very clean, plus he's in the pool a lot so has to wash it to keep the green away from the chlorine. :-)
DeleteThose guys sound ... not so appealing. Long enough to grab onto is good. :-)
He has to be tall (I'm 5'11"), dark hair just long enough for a stubby pony tail. Some but not a mat of body hair - and all his own teeth!! At my age, a bit of grey is obligatory too

Finding someone taller than me is usually not an issue being 5'3". :-)
DeleteI was just commenting to my daughter when they said one of the women on the Korean volleyball team was 6'1", imagine trying to find guys in Korea who are even close to as tall as she is? I suppose you get used to towering over everyone.
I've always loved long hair, too! Shaven heads have always kind of been a turnoff, though I'd prefer shaven to a bad combover or something. :-) I don't really have a preference between tall or short men (though I'm on the tallish side and I think that's hindered my chances with some short guys) or in the hairy/smooth issue (a hot guy is a hot guy, and the body hair is usually incidental for me). I like full lips and broad shoulders for sure, and I second the "naughty twink" idea!
ReplyDeletevitajex(at)aol(dot)com
I worked with an older man for several years who had a wicked comb-over. It was so hard not to just stare at it. It was awful. I'm not a huge fan of shaved heads but it depends on the person i suppose.
DeleteLove the sound of the book! :D
ReplyDeleteI like guys with short hair. Not military cut, just short... "regular" guy hair I guess... LOL...
BUT.... I don't know... I'll perhaps like a guy with long hair depending on how it looks on him. And/or where we meet and whatnot. ;) LOL
Thank you for the contest! :D

I tend to like guys with shorter hair but it does depend.
DeleteLong enough to grab on but short enough that it doesn't get in my mouth while kissing :) Count me in please.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle

You've narrowed down the criteria nicely. :-)
DeleteMmmmm how do I like my Men....well lets start off with Ohhhhh Sooooo Ruggedly Handsome, Tall, Dark & GORGEOUS, Well-(Ummmm) Muscled with a Ripped Impressive Physique. I want my Men to be Erotically Dominant Alpha with Impressive Tattoos of Meaning, ie Tribal/Crests...Hair length can very because I Love those Bad Boys & Vin Diesal is Ohhhhhhh Sooooooo HOT & he has a shaved head. I also want them to be flawed, not perfect Men for me...I Love them Playfully Naughty with a twist of Evil that can make My Panties Melt right off my Body with just one LQQk from their Sexy Eyes.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm one can Dream Now, can't we??? ;)
I would very much appreciate the opportunity to be considered in your very generous giveaway. Thank You.

Oh my,that is a quite the steamy description you gave there. Whew. *fans self*
DeleteI like my men over 6'0", dark, normal length hair and green eyes or some other unusual color. I'd like him to be a bit of a bear, I'm not all that much of a fan of the smooth chest. Full lips with the ends with a slight upward tilt. He has to work out at a gym, so he'll have defined muscles but not be over muscled. Nice long legs with a cute, firm butt. Strong arms with nice sized man hands for moving me around ;)
ReplyDeletepenumbrareads(at)gmail(dot)com
Unusual colored eyes are interesting. Although when I was in Amish country in Pennsylvania I saw these kids with eyes that were so blue it was freaky. It was the most unusual shade of blue I'd ever seen and stuck in my head.
DeleteHm, short hair. :)
ReplyDeleteCount me in please!
emiliana25(at)web dot de
Short is good too. :-)
DeleteI love, love, love long hair. I especially love it on Asian men, the prettier the freaking better. I have no problems with having a boyfriend/husband who is prettier than me *teehee*.
ReplyDeleteI have already put in my order for a beautiful Korean husband, I am now just waiting for the delivery.
Some Asian guys have gorgeous hair. I think well kept Asian hair is gorgeous because it's so perfectly straight and usually looks smooth and shiny. Mmmmm. Hope your order doesn't get held up in customs. ;-)
DeleteLong, short, brunette, blond, red; it's all good but if I had to pick one it would be long red and wavy. Green eyes would be a good complement. Hold on while I still my fluttering heart. OK, better now. I wouldn't kick a short straight brunette to the curb either. Not a short man but one with short hair. Where do you place the order? All my spam emails are offering me women, so not interested.
ReplyDeleteI know, the spam purveyors really need to do their research. Your first description sounds lovely. Mmmm. *gazes into space*
DeleteI like lots of types of men. I do like body hair (a reasonable amount, not a bear), I also like hair of different lengths, anything beyond a buzz-cut really. Long hair can be very sexy on the right guy.
ReplyDeleteSue

That's kind of like me. It really depends on my mood, although I even liked buzz-cuts.
DeleteUsed to be that I wouldn't give a guy with short hair any notice, it had to be long. Now I don't care, just has to be long enough to get a good grip on it. If it's long, it does need to not look ratty. Going the complete opposite end now, I even like a nice clean shaven head sometimes. I'm pretty open to my types of men I like, I'm just not crazy about overly muscular or overly hairy men.
ReplyDeleteCount me in for the contest please.
darose28 at gmail dot com
Yes, I'm not big on overly muscled either. Definitely hair that is taken care of. Nothing worse that straggly long hair that needs washed. Ick.
DeleteI like men with short hair, though long enough to run your hands through. I am partial to blue or green eyes and blondish hair but really wouldn't discriminate against any colouring. My only real requirement when it comes to men is that he is taller than me :)
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of friends who only like short hair. I like dark hair combined with light eyes, probably because it's rather rare and so seems more exotic.
DeleteOh yes, I loooooove the long hair. I do. My hubby had long hair when I first me him - about the length of smokin hot cigar man - same color too. *sigh* lol Now he's got short hair but he's also not 22 anymore. :)
ReplyDeleteBefore I met my man - who's dark blonde/light brown - I loved the long haired men, mostly dark hair with light eyes. I still love looking at the long haired menu but I eat at home. :)
Please enter me in the giveaway. Thanks.
Oh my. That sounds lovely. But I agree, most men of ... a certain age really can't do the long hair look and it just starts to look pitiful. But looking is a good thing. :-)
