What women want, and what men think women want, are two very different things.

A survey by a UK menswear label has uncovered some illuminating discrepancies between what makes the perfect male body, according to men and heterosexual women.

According to the Jacamo poll, men think women are after a tall, toned man rippling with muscles and blessed with a lusciously full head of hair.

Think Justin Bieber’s locks, a smouldering gaze emanating from Gerard Butler’s chiseled face, Hugh Jackman’s arms, top male model David Gandy’s torso, and elite football player Cristiano Ronaldo’s legs.

It turns out the true ‘perfect man’ in the eyes of heterosexual women possesses a much cuddlier physique.

He has Prince Harry’s ginger hair, actor James Corden’s face, comedian Paddy McGuinness’ arms, and retired English rugby player Ben Cohen’s torso atop, somewhat inexplicably, the legs of television presenter Jonathan Ross.

While there’s no denying that the ideal male composite as created by men has its charms, men who look more like the female ideal can now breathe easy and stop worrying about their MIA six-pack.
