MATCH.COM ATTEMPTS TO READ MY MIND
I had some time to kill tonight waiting for Michael to finish doing whatever he does for a living and meet me for post-work cocktails. So I happened to stumble upon a Physical Attraction Test created by those lameasses at Match.com (via Hit or Miss), and one thing led to another, and, well...

Full disclosure: the following results don't necessarily reflect the physical attributes of Bradykins, which... er... means that they must be highly inaccurate. (No one noticed me sweating, did they? Good.)

Favorite Qualities
Your photo choices suggest a man over 45 is probably getting a little old for your tastes
You seemed interested in dating a man at least 25 or older
Very handsome men
Wide, square chins
Long and narrow "rectangular" faces
So-called "Mesomorphs," with square chins and wide faces

Favorite Looks
Some may call one of your types "Pretty Boys," but all you know is that they're gorgeous. The combination of classic good looks with small noses, beautiful eyes, and full lips is hard to resist. These guys tend to be clean shaven, have clear skin, and get good hair cuts. They're taking good care of themselves so they can be "pretty" just for you! [Well, you and the 1 in 3 men (33%) that are also after them!]

We call another type of guy that you seemed to consistently like "Pups." Their look goes with a certain loveable, puppy dog appeal. They're nice-looking guys, but they are imperfect enough to be approachable. Their big eyes and goofy smiles convey warmth and kindness. Like puppies, these guys can be a bit awkward and clumsy, so be prepared to have a drink or two spilled on you! Only about 1 in 10 men (11%) are attracted to this unique type, so they'll be flattered that you appreciate their charm.

Favorite Face Type
So-called "Mesomorph" faces obviously appealed to you. These faces can be shaped like a square or a rectangle, but are most noticeable because of their strong square jawline. The chins are clearly prominent from the front and side, and have crisp angles defining the sides of the chin. No sunken chins for you! This is by far the most masculine face type. Often, you'll also find strong, manly noses and beefy lips with this face pattern as well. About 41% of other men especially prefer men with this face type.
