Hump Day Hunk: The Lumbersexual

Usually at Geek Girl Fiction, the Hump Day Hunk features an individual or specific male of interest for the week. However, this week we are ogling a group of men as a whole - the lumbersexuals.


According to Cosmopolitan, lumbersexual men build their own dressers, know the secret location of wild blackberries, and have a beard that looks “long, bushy, and unkempt…”



The "lumbersexual" is pretty much the opposite of the metrosexual in terms of appearance —
GearJunkie, one of many media outlets that have recently published articles discussing the rise of this new fashion trend, describes the lumbersexual thusly:

"He is bar-hopping, but he looks like he could fell a Norway Pine. He looks like a man of the woods, but works at The Nerdery, programming for a healthy salary and benefits. His backpack carries a MacBook Air, but looks like it should carry a lumberjack’s axe.

He looks like a hardened outdoorsman but his flannel feels soft to the touch. He will open your beer with an omni-present Buck knife. He is a master of the retro Instagram filter. His flannel is coated with a waterproof DWR coating. His laid back style has been honed with more effort than he would like you to know."

How every you describe these guys, the rugged, bearded look is in fashion and I think a lumbersexual would make an excellent protagonist in a romance novel...
 What you do you think?
