There seems to be a fashion for women having super butch tattoo's these days, I figure it's because she doesn't want somebody with less butch tattoo's which would therefor make her feel unfeminine.

Also there's the tough guy connotations, I think mostly they want men who look manly but aren't at all. I have met plently of guys who are pure woman-bait - tattoo's, lumberjack shirts, full on sailor beard, can't even put up a shelf or wire a freaking plug and are generally whipped to the Nth degree, full on roped, gelded and saddled!
