Shilpi Madan gives you a checklist on what men DON'T want to see on women...

As far as we're concerned, inner beauty is still the strongest pre-requisite. But just like you have a list of things that you would never want to see on men (make-up, pot-bellies, etc), men have their own list. Things that make them squirm. Maybe sloppy and unshaven works for him on him, but it might not work for him on you. The question is, do you care? It's not like he'll suddenly start loving you less just 'cause you've sprouted a few facial hair. But he obviously doesn't like it. And he's entitled to his opinion, which is precisely what we asked for in this piece. Here's what a few guys said...

Facial Hair

"I dislike facial hair on women, it looks so un-feminine," says ace lensman Dabboo Ratnani. "It's in-your-face and looks unclean. My only recourse is to clean up the close-up shots with Photoshop." But what does he do in real life? "Look the other way."

If you care: Pluck 'em off. Bushy eyebrows? Tweeze, bleach, wax, singe - do whatever it takes to get rid of furry facial growth. If you don't care, tell him to go soak his head.

Droopy Locks

"The unwashed hair look puts me off completely. Inner beauty is true beauty, agreed, but dirty hair and the unkempt look speak of poor hygiene somehow," says haute couturier Haresh Shah. "Smelling fresh and looking clean is vital."

If you care: Go in for a cut that suits your face and personality. An unbecoming hairstyle does you in, completely, despite the diamonds and designer garb you might flaunt. Actually, a great haircut gives you a great boost... so you should try this anyway, not for any guy!

Furry Limbs

Hair on men looks good. "Unwaxed legs and arms on a woman look terrible. Women are meant to be soft, warm and fresh smelling," says actor Sanjay Suri. All said and heard.

If you care: Clean up when you wear clothes that show your underarms or legs. We don't know what it is but even Julia Roberts lost quite a few die-hard male fans when she appeared at an awards function without getting her underarms done. For them, sooty long lashes work; dense overgrowth on the female form doesn't.

Bad Dress Sense

"I'm not perfect either. So I think it's unfair for me to expect a woman to have a perfect figure. But a lousy dress sense combined with a terrible figure: That's a complete downer," says entrepreneur Ashish Nangia.

If you care: If you have a huge behind, wear clothes that conceal the bulges and highlight your assets.
