For Refreshment Only Sundays (FROS) is putting it to a VOTE.

Of all things male and lovely, we here in FROSville love a manly chest.

We love surfer chests, all damp and sun-warmed.

We love a Scot’s chest, braw and brave:

We love a tough biker’s chest, broad and strong:

We love a tennis star’s chest, fluid and taut:

Let’s face it: we just love CHESTS and can’t pick a favorite.

Happy FROS, m’dears! Which chest is your favorite? May your week be as wide, warm, and as enveloping as all of these magnificent chests!

    *drools* nice! Maybe I’m being a little picky here but they could use some more chest hair. Not a rug but just enough to tangle your fingers in when you’re in bed at night with your honey and you’re both drifting off to sleep. Also, a nice amount of chest hair can be used as playful punishment if your honey isn’t ticklish and they do a playful attack on you. (Toe hair works just as well too) have a great week!

    1. Archer says:

      I agree up to the toe hair lol

    2. Angela says:

      I agree with Kelly… I love a hairy chest. My man has a nice hairy chest, nothing too shaggy, but it’s warm and snuggly. It has touches of grey, since we both are in our golden years, but it is very broad and muscular. Granted, the biker is might nice on the size of that chest, but I like my man the most.

  2. Julie says:

    Any and all?? ;) And, where is Hugh??? I think the ‘Van Helsing’ chest would have won for sure… :D

  3. dbrown3400 says:

    Kelly, I’m just the opposite. I prefer my guys without chest hair, so these men are might fine. For me, they’re a wonderful way to start a FROS day. Picking just one? I don’t think so.

    1. KellyProellocks says:

      dbrown, we all have our own ideal men and what appeals to me doesn’t have to appeal to anyone else and that’s okay. These differences are all good.

  4. dbrown3400 says:

    Mighty fine, that is.

  5. Sandi in OH says:

    One of each please.

  6. aida alberto says:

    The biker. I have a thing for bad boys but a man wearing a kilt is a very nice sight indeed.

  7. Phyllis says:

    I’m with Sandi. One of each, please. (Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard.)

  8. Cheri Champagne says:

    Can I vote for them all?

  9. JenM says:

    Oh my, that biker…..

    No chest hair for me please, so these guys are perfect.

  10. LouisaCornell says:

    MMMMMM Dreams of summer on a cold winter’s day! This is like a grown woman’s jungle gym! Thanks, Karen! Just one? But I like ALL of the toys on the playground!!

  11. Karen Hawkins says:

    I couldn’t pick just one, either. Guess I’ll stare a little longer and see if an answer comes to me……

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. :)

    1. Julie says:

      Yep….I’ve checked this post several times today, and still can’t pick just one. ;)

  12. Karen H in NC says:

    I’m not picky….I like them all. Looking at that biker’s chest made me think of the opening credits for Sons of Anarchy . The final shot is the back of the star Charlie Hunnam. But he never goes without a shirt in the show….wish they would show a little more of his skin!

  13. AmyA says:

    I love any yummy chest, but biceps are particular hot!!

  14. pjpuppymom says:

    Mmmmmmmm…..

    What a lovely sight!

    I just finished reading an ARC with a biker hero and I was having trouble visualizing him in my mind. No longer! Thank you, Karen for giving me my hero! :)

  15. Connie Fischer says:

    You’re making me choose!! I think I’ll go with the surfer one. Sigh…

  16. Carla C says:

    Give me the Scotsman, strong, broad, and what a face to go with it :)

  17. Judy, Judy, Judy says:

    I’m gonna wanna spend a little time with each of them before I decide ;)

  18. Judy F says:

    The biker or the tennis guy. I like a little chest hair too.

  19. Kelly Ryan Watson says:

    I love a bare chest. I’m saddened to have to pick only one when all are so… touchable. Great choices, and for me its a toss up between bare biker chest and McConachest! Flip a coin!

  20. Pamiam says:

    I’ll also take one of each please. I prefer a smooth chest but I think I can make an exception in this case.

  21. Freshechelle says:

    I love the democratic process.

  22. ladydawgfan says:

    Oooooh, one for each day of the week (with a day of rest in between!)!!!! Who needs to chose when there’s a buffet to be had??!!!

  23. JeanMP says:

    My choice would be the biker, though they all are yummy looking!

  24. Ginger Robertson says:

    Biker dude has my vote. Could you send him by my home? I need some TLC.

  25. Jamie K says:

    Pretty stiff competition, but I think the tennis dude edges out the others, biker dude is a close second. Whew! That warmed up my day rather nicely.

  26. pswartz says:

    I prefer biker dude. He reminds me of my biker dude husband when we were younger.

  27. JenG says:

    Oh MY! I spent yesterday and today camping with the girl scouts. What a nice thing to come home to. Hmmmm On our drive home, I noticed a sign that next Saturday is the North Florida Scottish Celtic festival at the Clay County Fairgrounds. DH will be golfing on that day so methinks the munchkin and I will be heading to ogle … er… check out the Scotsman who decide to grace us with their presence. Karen, you got anything going next Saturday??? I think a road trip may be in order!!!

    1. KellyProellocks says:

      Hey Jen, is there likely to be kilt blowing?

  28. Kathleen O says:

    I will have one of each please… especially Hottie #1….

  29. TinaF says:

    Thank You, Goddesses for a lovely week.

  30. Cindi says:

    Gulp. My eyes are bothering me today, so I’ll need to review them all again by Braille. Yep, that’s how I need to check them out. I’m leaning toward (Mathew?) Surfer Dude, tho. P.S.: No or little hair please, but with chests like these, I wouldn’t complain anyway! Thanks for the poll, Karen!

  31. Mary Preston says:

    I do love a manly chest!!!

  32. Zina says:

    I like mine with no hair!
