Strange how your taste in men changes. As a schoolgirl, all I cared about was what kind of car he drove (Alfa Romeo GTV6), access to alcohol (bartender) and disappointing my parents (high school dropout with criminal record).

The list has changed in the past decade. Substantially. To include matters of ambition, economic success and sophistication. But until recently, I never cared about strength. Sure, they had to meet certain weight and height requirements, but I never cared about muscles. Or fighting ability.

Until lately, that is. And I'm not the only one it seems. Suddenly, men everywhere have gone hyper-masculine. The NY Times recently cited Chuck Norris, Rambo and Hulk Hogan as the new male icons. Essentially, we're having a renaissance of brawn. And not a minute too soon, we at UJ say.

If things go to plan, not long from now, a woman will be in charge of the free world. We already have battery-operated devices for the bedroom, in a few years, I'll be able to give birth to my best friend's baby, and within 25 years, Britain will have more female millionaires than men.
