Boiled Egg Men
This term is used by female university students who prefer their men to be like a boiled egg; that is, with a hard shell and a soft center. They must be presentable, stylish, and have light smooth skin. On first acquaintance they seem shy but sure of themselves, but once you get to know them well they show a more sensitive side.
