Maybe it was Zach Galifianakis' sweetly moronic turn in The Hangover, or maybe it was Kevin Smith making headlines as a bad boy getting tossed off a plane for having too much sexy girthiness... but whatever it is, chicks are secretly digging chubby, geeky guys with facial hair.

Yeah, I know. Women always tell us they love the tall, dark and sexy type. The George Clooneys, the Brad Pitts, and (please forgive me for mentioning their names), even the Jonas Brothers. (For those women who haven't reached puberty yet.)

But according to a recent poll of 2,500 women conducted by OnePoll.com, while that's what they tell their friends and say publicly, secretly what women want is a chubby, geeky guy with facial hair and tendency to cry at movies. (That noise you hear in the background is me throwing a rope over one of my ceiling beams...)

Coming in first in the "secret turn-ons" poll was the unshaven look, preferred by 56% of women. Which may explain the recent razor avoidance by celebs.

Coming in second was a "slightly geeky personality." Wait. The alpha male is displaced in her fantasies by Chuck and the rest of the Nerd Herd? Then why aren't there groupies lined up at Best Buy?

Right after that, women said a hairy chest, men who love to read, and guys that cry at sad movies turn them on the most. So I guess we'll have to hang out at bookstores with our shirts open, tearfully discussing The Notebook to get more play...

Also included on the list: gray hair, glasses and being a big sports fan. This is starting to explain the "Jim Belushi Effect" -- chubby, dopey guys married to hot chicks on sit coms.

Surprised to hear what these women really want? You should be. More than 20% of the women polled said they would never publicly admit to what they really find attractive in men. And I don't blame them, because here's what else they admitted...

More than 90% prefer a man with a few flaws...

More than 50% prefer a guy who is soft and cuddly, rather than toned...

Two thirds want a man who is naturally hairy...

63% want a guy who doesn't spend a lot of time trying to look good...

And 58% would rather have a guy who eats whatever he wants, over a guy who is watching his weight and eating healthy.

Our friends, the lovely ladies at LemonDrop.com, even conducted an informal office poll to see if this held true, and they found women who secretly lusted after "The Woody Allen Type," "Small Skinny Spanish Hipsters," "Nerdy Black Guys" and more. (Read the full list here.)

Somewhere Jim Belushi is sitting in a hot tub with a half dozen bikini models, laughing his chubby, hairy ass off.
