A Skinny Lumbersexual?

[BSR]

Warning! Silly, frivolous topic alert!!

 

I'm asking: is there such a thing as a skinny lumbersexual? Now, I absolutely love lumbersexuals -- the beefy furry build, the rough & rugged good looks, the masculine outdoorsiness (even though I'm the most un-outdoorsy person you'll ever meet), and the facial hair as long as the beard doesn't get too extreme. But it seems all lumbersexuals are pretty muscular guys. So, is it possible for a guy with masculine good looks and lots of hair to qualify as a lumbersexual, even though he's really thin?

 

Here are two I've been wondering about: The first is one of my tennis crushes, Martin Klizan, a journeyman ranked 40-something in the world. I'd never watch his matches (nothing particularly interesting or exceptional about his game), except that I find him smokin' hot ...

The second is one of my Spanish actor crushes, Luis Fernandez ...

So both are hairy enough, and I think both have the masculine, rugged good looks that I associate with lumbersexuals, but both are as thin as a rail. By the way, they say the camera adds 10 pounds; this pic of Luis Fernandez adds more like 20. He looks a lot thinner in the episodes of the show he's on. What do you think? Is there such a thing as a skinny lumbersexual?

Well the second guy is wearing plaid. Thats a requirement isn't it?

The image of Luis Fernandez got my wood.

Could I get a closer and more, Ah, intimate inspection of the evidence before I decide? Based on the two photos offered, I can definitely say they both make me think of wood.

Thats the look I'm going to try to go for this winter. I've gotten a few flannels and am growing out my beard. Tired of looking so boyish.

I thought that Lumbersexual meant "beard plus hyper-moussed hair". I didn't think muscles were required.

 

Beard plus flannel = Retro 70's Castro Clone, in my book.

BSR, thanks for the topic. I agree with you about the sexiness of a toned but not too muscled lumber sexual, and I agree with FriendofS that it may require a slightly hipster mix. The folks at gear junkie seem to agree, check out their take on the look here: http://gearjunkie.com/the-rise-of-the-lumbersexual Scroll down for a wide variety of looks within the lumbersexual category.
