How should he spend his spare time, should he like sports, or shopping? Manicures or electronics? Well, in an online survey, The Harris Poll and Dodge Dakota asked 2,131 U.S. adults aged 18 and over to describe the Ideal Man. 1,003 of the participants were men while 1,128 where women.

You know those soft manicured hands, well 61% of women preferred a man with rough, hard-working hands to only 39% wanting well manicured hands. Also, 47% of surveyed women prefer their man to spend his money on electrical gadgets, and not cosmetics. And, 45% want a man who spend his money on his car/truck.
