As for gay men, it seems like everyone has their type. Do most want lumberjacks? If that's true, I would imagine that it's barely true because as jyms said, there's just so much inherent variance in individual preference that for an overwhelming majority to develop, there would have to be some driving force for that majority -- and as far as I can tell, none exists.
It's difficult to isolate because something like hygiene will play an indirect but important role. So even if more gay men like lumberjacks, they may still gravitate towards metros for hygienic purposes or a host of other purposes
The research I have seen though suggests that gay men prefer physical masculinity more than people think and probably more than women do
