What is it about dudes that don't shower? You know, the ones that have the two- or three-day-old scruff loitering around their jawline, the unintentionally tousled hair, probably went out biking or climbing or whatever a few days ago and didn't feel like showering... sigh. They are so god damn attractive sometimes.

Maybe it's the taboo syndrome - the social stigma against them. Society has taught us to dodge those individuals who are not hyper-hygienic. Forbidden fruit! A solid "up yours!" to the authority figures. Screw your ideals of attractive, society! I'm totally cool with an unshowered boy.

I'm sick of men who are meticulously groomed or men who smell better than I do or men who exfoliate and pluck their way into their good looks. Perhaps it's because I'm constantly surrounded by gay dudes; I'm at the point where I automatically assume that if you're a guy who dresses nicely and has used shampoo in the last 24 hours that you are a homosexual.

Or maybe it's the return to the masculine man, you know? Like the T-Birds. Kenickie didn't shower every day, I'm sure of it. (Granted, he was very into his hair, but it was slicked back with grease, for god's sake.) The rock star, covered in sweat after playing a killer set? Hot. And the great hero is always the sexiest when he's all covered in crap after saving the world. MEN. You know? Men.

I'm not saying that dirt, grime, and/or grease necessarily turn me on, but I think these dudes can be as sexy as those who are considered classically attractive. And you know the best part about dirty guys? When they clean themselves up, they look extra hot. Best of both worlds, bitches.
