askmenlogoWondering how you measure up to your fellow man? Now you can find out.

AskMen.com, one of the web’s premiere destinations for all things enjoyed by men (read: women, cars, booze, sports and women)—and one of our favorite sites—asked over 50,000 of its readers to answer some tough questions about love, sex, money and style. And you might be surprised how American men measured up against guys in Canada, Australia and the UK.

The second annual survey revealed some interesting insights into the minds of men.

When it comes to grooming, 43 percent of American men admitted they “maintain daily basic hygiene, a regular haircut, and additional skin care.” That measley 43 percent put American men in last place behind gentlemen in the UK (55%), Canada (45%) and Australia (45%). However, when it comes to keeping up a “daily basic hygiene, a regular haircut, additional skin care, and the occasional manicure and pedicure,” American men led the pack with 4 percent—Canada came in second with 3 percent while the UK and Australia shared third with 2 percent.  Okay, so 4 percent is not exactly a high score, but we’ll accept any triumphs that we can.

When it comes to fashion, most American AskMen.com readers own 1 to 3 suits (65%) and 4 to 6 pairs of shoes (46%).  Unfortunately, Americans took last place in both categories. Survey participants also agreed that Italian men are the most stylish in the world.  Perhaps some American men need to spend more holidays in Milan and Rome.

In attracting a mate, abs are the new pecs. A majority of men believe women appreciate a toned midsection most.  84 percent of men look for wife potential in a girlfriend, 69 percent have fantasized about a girlfriend or wife’s friend but only 17 percent say they would cheat.
