Do women like men who take care of themselves?
Even if the man isn't a metrosexual. He justs knows how to cook. clean. take care, and give a good massage. Some women don't know what their missing. So is taking care of one's self more attractive than looks or is it just another top of the dating game?

women like well kept men, but not men who are overly obssessive about the way they look, that's a turn off. so yeah care, but don't care too much

Times have changed.. some men never marry they live on their own. or get divorced and they have to cook and clean and some men are good at it... some are really good at it and some are messy because women spoiled them then they can't do without woman.. they always leave everything in a mess and women work and clean and have children...but that has changed.... sometimes in rare cases it also happens that a man gets custody of the children or parent who get divorced have shared custody.. meaning for 1 week the ex wife looks after the kids.. the next they are with dad then dad has to platy with the kids, cook and clean and take them out. .with boys he plays football or with girls he goes to the zoo.. When the kids grow older .. they have their own BF or GF and dad and mom are only needed for money and sometimes advice... ...There are some great guys out there also.. I must be crazy to be saying this because I am a woman and my husband he is a sloppy one.. so don't mean him.. he goes to work but he is messy.. but I know others who are not messy and who do housework and who cook or couples who share the work at home... the housework and playing with the kids or taking care of the kids.. Can't blame the guys for not being able to give birth as well.. although that would be a good idea...xx

I find it incredibly attractive if a man can take care of himself. If anything, it makes me want him more because I begin to think "He doesn't need me, but he wants me." Every guy I've fallen for has always had the ability to take care of themselves and frankly, its nice for us females to not feel constantly obligated to pick up after a man. I think men from the last generation always had people there to clean up after themselves and their wives still do it today. But nowadays, women are not expected to be completely domesticated. The result? Men everywhere have finally begun to take care of themselves instead of relying on a female to do all the work. And in the long run, it makes us resent our husbands/bfs less ;-) So keep up the good work!

I think guys who can take care of themselves is a major plus. It shows a lot of maturity which is sometimes hard to find in guys. In comparison to looks it is hard to say. I think personality and the way a guy treats me are on the top of that scale. I have never been all that interested in looks. I mean as long as I am attracted to the person things can work out. Attraction doesn't have to mean they are hot. Things about their personality, or they way they take care of themselves, can make them equally as attractive.

I personally like men who can take care of themselves, good looks help but if the man can take care of himself that is a giant plus.

It's good when a guy bathes, uses a good colongue and deodorant, knows how to get a good shave and pick out a great shirt for himself. These are basic skills all humans need.
It is NOT sexy when a guy is vain and into himself and looking in the mirror all the time. I went out on a date with a guy who was into bodybuilding. He kept looking in the mirror and I thought he was checking us out to see if we made a good couple...he was staring at HIS ARM and flexing it in the mirror the whole time! He never got a 2nd date!

I so love a man who knows how. And yes, taking care of one's self is very attractive and would my first choice of one who may be more attractive, it's in the eye of the beholder.

I think it is more attractive. I love a guy who can take care of himself as well as me. I mean, he must not depend on me to do all the work but should be able to assist me in the house. He can be classified as being romantic and this guy can be called husband material. I hope to get such a husband. (LOL)

I wont date a guy if he can't take care of himself. I want to be able to leave when I want with out him feaking out saying "But,but, but, I'm hungry." or something like that, ya know? So yes, I find it more attractive, and it's more likely I'll date him. :)

wonderful question!!!
let me first say that nothing is wrong with u or aman that knows how to do what a lot a women them self dont do, or dont know how to do or they are actually goin to school to learn. when a man can help and take care of him self women dig THAT!!! it make well known that hygine is right, u cn put ur self together neatly and u can be emotionally connected to ur woman in the fact of her be the stressed out house woman, u'll know how she feels when it comes to getting things done neatly and the correct way! keep it up! i have a man that is like that some times and it kills me to ask him to do it wen its needed or when his help is not required...see what i mean! and it hurts some time to be tired of doin it myself because he wont do it properly enough to please me so ive got to do it myself so, dont feel like somethings wrong with u. i dig it and wish my man was like that! ull find that person that appreciate u enough to help u and do it and work hard to to ensure that ur pleased.
