What Men Want: The Materials and Style Survey

We're all shopaholics with a meticulous eye for color coordination. Or are we?

I must admit that I've known a few straight men that turn both male and female eyes with their sense of taste in clothing and home design. Even so, gay men in general tend to put more effort into their gear and dwellings than our straight cousins.

This isn't to say a man's sexuality can be determined by his eye for design, but good style tends to be a matter of personal taste, and not just for the guy wearing it. If there is a trend, there are gay men who are the first to wear it. There are others who make their own trends, then wait for the world to follow. Outside of these two groups are guys who are dedicated to their favorite pair of jeans or sweats and could care less if they're featured in the next video.

Which are you and, for the purposes of this survey, where does your ideal man fall on the design scale? Would I walk into his apartment and think it's a showroom or is his house an extension of the frat dorm? What about his knack for clothing? Is he the only one you know that can rock plaid and polka dots at the same time and still turn eyes in envy or do the simplicity of his gym sneakers turn you on?

I've asked about your taste in a man's spirituality, his nutrition, and his character. Now, what about his sense of style?
