Yes, Murphee. Gotta have at least some hair.
It's interesting, Annunaki, that you mention a man's 'V-shape.' Often I find my fellow men are either flat chested (|| shape) or have fat deposits centred around their waist (A shape). I actually have a 'V-shape' (not to bragg), and I always thought it was abnormal, because my peers were either '||' or 'A'. My upper chest has always been wider than my waist, even though I'm quite slim, and it used to bother me. I think it comes from my Polish side - no wonder you like Swedish men!
I think the V-shape might be more of a European trait, but with the A-shape on the rise due to increasing obesity in North America and abroad, I'll just sit back and laugh.

Is it true that most men prefer women to have long hair? That would have to be a resounding YES!

I was actually told that men prefer women with long hair and therefore I should let mine grow by someone with quite wide hips and narrow shoulders a couple of weeks ago... It's very comforting to know that while I can have shiny, relatively long hair in a year or two, he can't become a perfect V even if he started to live at the gym. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

My father is the only man I know who prefers short hair in general on women, and he tells me that I'd look better without my unruly waist-length mane. But I know better than he does that it would be foolish to get rid of it as it is one of my best and striking features.

I think the V-shape might be more of a European trait, but with the A-shape on the rise due to increasing obesity in North America and abroad, I'll just sit back and laugh. The V-shape is definitely not a European trait. If anything, black Africans have it way more often than white Europeans. I think height might have something to do with it. The V-shape tends to be more visible if the man is rather tall (like many Africans and Northern Europeans are). If you're short, you tend to have the ||-shape or A-shape more. I've also noticed that many tall women have rather broad shoulders. However, body fat also plays it's part. Men with less bodyfat (like my husband, who has virtually no body fat at all) look more toned and their hips are rather narrow. The more natural body fat (not excess weight) the more womanlike the body shape. It also depends on whether you work out or not. Most men tend to focus on upper body workout which gives them more muscular shoulders and arms. Last, the V-shape I'm thinking of is not an exaggerated one. Most men after all are V-shaped (at least when comparing to women), but the difference in width between the hips and shoulders isn't that big. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

The V-shape just describes a pretty decent lat flare. Lats make up the majority of that particular characteristic, but traps and shoulders also come into play as well. There are people who actually have lats that are so large that keeping their arms close to their body is difficult (lat syndrome). If you train properly and lower your bodyfat to just the right levels, you'll be able to have the "v-shape" regardless of racial origins.
There are people who only train upper body, and those who do train their legs usually belt out extensions. I call them UBO types (upper body only types). But if they don't want to give equal consideration I chalk it up to two reasons. The first reason is that a leg workout is far more difficult to handle physically and mentally than any other workout. The second reason being is that legs are not "show" muscles. To the recreational weightlifter that is just trying to better his appearance, legs are not a high priority (unless the bodybuilder in question is female). Anybody who doesn't workout will take notice if you have made gains in your chest or arms, but will never even look at your legs.
