During a recent conversation with girlfriends, I revealed that I like "dirty" men. Not dirty as in hygienically challenged or having too many notches on the bedpost, but dirty in the sense of actual dirt. I like a man who works hard all day and has the sweat on his brow to prove it. That and mud on his clothes sends me into a tizzy. I'm talking Aragorn from Lord of the Rings, saving-the-world style dirty. Hot? I think so.
Hear me out: Take Kate Hudson, for example. She was married to Chris Robinson (of the '70s-esque rock band, The Black Crowes), and there is no question that he isn't exactly well-kempt. After that, she moved on to Owen Wilson who looks as though he's perpetually just rolling out of bed. I admit it, I love that disheveled look about him; judging by his legions of female fans, I'm not alone.
People magazine's annual poll of the world's sexiest men is one of the magazines best-selling issues. Albeit a few boy-next-door celebs make the list such as Ben Affleck, Adam Brody, and Patrick Dempsey -- it's mostly full of those grungy, oh-so-ambivalent stars like Colin Farrell, Wentworth Miller, and Rodrigo Santoro that scream masculinity with their flannel shirt ease that makes us swoon.
And of course there are the obvious ones like Johnny Depp -- he's super sexy even when playing a dirty pirate; Brad Pitt with his shaggy hair and beard circa his 1994 Rolling Stones cover or as Tristan in Legends of the Fall, and, as previously mentioned, Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn. All of these delectable men are delightfully dirty from a hard day of wrestling sea monsters, grizzly bears or orks. There's no time to shower and shave when there's a battle to be fought!
