Ah, lumbersexuals. A type of guy defined by the always-reliable Urban Dictionary as, “A sexy man who dresses in denim, leather, and flannel, and has a ruggedly sensual beard.”

But don’t worry — you can be a lumbersexual without ever actually touching any lumber by following the four simple steps below.

There’s just something about a man in flannel that says, “I’m rugged and I’m stylish, but I also like to snuggle.”

Yep, it’s safe to assume that flannel-wearing lumbersexuals enjoy camping (not on the ground, yuck), can start a fire with nothing more than a hard piece of wood and their inexplicably soft hands, and not only majored in being the Big Spoon, but went on to get their Masters and PhD.
