I can’t hide it. I, and basically every other woman I know, think Michelle Obama is the bee’s knees. She rocks my world. I look up to her, I want to raid her closet, I aspire to have the same grace and poise and intelligence and confidence and parenting abilities and knack for wearing belts just so. But what do men think of our new First Lady? Given the hot and cold reaction that another strong woman in the same position, Hillary Clinton, felt during her eight years as the wife of the President, I wondered what impression Michelle—who possesses Hillary’s gumption, as well as Laura Bush’s desire for privacy—had on men. And, dare I ask, are they attracted to her? Would they admit such a thing, the way many men were happy to admit the attraction they felt towards, say, Sarah Palin? So many questions! Check out their answers, after the jump…

Something else I like about Michelle? I read in a recent interview that she gets up at 4:30 a.m. to work out and get cleaned up & dressed before getting the kids ready for school, knowing that she needs to take care of herself in order to be able to take good care of her children. That’s cool. In certain circles of moms, it’s very looked down on to take care of yourself and not sacrifice everything for your children…

I’d like to hear from somebody who doesn’t like her for some variety. It’s almost like you talked to the same guy under three different names.

Well, let me begin with a your fist question about the sex life of B & M. I want to say it is none of our business, but it will make me a hypocrite if I didn’t wonder whether they were intimate the night he was inaugurated. The way they were looking at each others eyes, and when he was holding during their dances and such can only be described DAMN I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MARRIED & HAVE THE IT B.&M;Obama have.
So, I’m sure they were intimate in the White House on Jan 20 or 21 since they were still out in public until 1am.
When it comes to Michelle’s beauty I think she is BEAUTIFUL!!! I have said it before she is not your typical “wow” lady, but then as an artist who am I to say only blonds and brunettes are your typical hotties? My ex-gf who is my BEST friend in the entire world right now looks Michell’s twin, except she has a bit longer hair and she’s 5’5” and she’s a biochemist and a semi-pro runner. Back to Michelle though, I think she is a true God’s beatific to America, and women around the world! WE real guys LOVE women like Michelle Obama. Smart, Caring, CONFIDENT, Stylish…everything we look for in a woman.

My only, only, ONLY critique of Michelle Obama would be her eyebrows, but they are getting better… used to be too overly arched. And if that’s your only flaw, you’re doing amazing!

Well I’m no brooding future attorney, nor am I a particularly experienced guy, but as a patriotic, middle-aged, white, American man, I’ll offer my thoughts anyway.
If I saw Michelle Obama walking down the street and didn’t know who she is, I would think this: Wow. She’s very good looking and I would love to ask her out. I guess her butt’s a bit big, but look what great shape she’s in, so it’s obviously built that way. I mean, she didn’t eat her way to that butt so who cares.
If I were lucky enough that she accepted my invitation to go out (assuming of course that she was not married or in a committed relationship), within a few minutes after we started talking, I’m afraid I’d quickly reach a state in which it would be very difficult to not fall in love with her on-the-spot.
She is a huge, huge “catch,” big time. Humongous time, actually. And now, as First lady, her “catch” factor has gotten enormously larger than life. Can you tell that I like her a lot? I will not say I love her, however, because I saw that photo of a shirt-free Barack on (or near) the beach; I can easily imagine what he would do to MY ass if I messed with his woman!
