Sounds like Manorexia...

I got all that except the skinny... (and partly the "not touchy-feely"... I enjoy a warm embrace, but I'm not as into grabbing whatever body parts on another person...)

I think its harder for a women to get a nice body than it is for a guy. A bit too much weight and cellulite can appear. But when they do get it right, obviously the girls body is hotter than a guy's :P

I have a bulky build and not many women find it attractive. Most seem to like the skinner types. I also have a hairy chest which most women (except 1 one on WP it seems) are not attracted to.

But now and then I run into a few who are attracted to both so each to their own. If you want the majority of girls to be attracted to you I'd go with slim (but still slimly muscular if that makes sense) and not hairy though. I'll always be bulky though its just my build and I'm not shaving my chest so I'm out of luck I guess :).

Actually I think this has something to do with the generation as well. The previous generation seems to be more attracted to hair and bulk whereas ours (DWill) seems to prefer slimmer hairless men. Probably has a lot to do with the media.

But yes, to each his (or her) own.

I don't really care as long as he is smart has a great personality. However, without knowing someone, I tend to gravitate to the skinny, nerdy, dorky type. I LOVE that. lol it may sound weird but I like guys with glasses, high cheekbones and an overbite. I think it's cute.

I love a hairy chest with nice curly hair on it. And if he is wearing a gold charm necklace.....huge turn on for me! 8)
I am in my mid twenties and all of the young women I know seem to prefer the hairless look. I don't know why, really. I would not want to be with a guy who was naturally hairless or shaved it off. I think this may be one of the reasons I am attracted to middle aged, Mediterranean men.......they have nice hairy chests and are not afraid to show them.

You're cute DWill so I wouldn't worry...it's not exclusively based on body type IMO.

And you can always shave there whenever you feel like it....











































Kidding... :P

Honestly, looks aren't the most important thing to women. Personality is about 80 percent of what they look for. There could be a moderately attractive man as an example but if he has a poor personality and poor social skills, girls will turned off by him. It doesn't matter if they think he's good looking or not. It won't do him any good if he can't even communicate with them. I don't want to use myself as an example because I'm not vain but I don't consider myself hideous by any means and I can relate to that situation I just named. Girls like guys who are funny and confident. That's what always seems to get them. It's not the looks that always get to them. Maybe girls would be afraid of a very attractive man much like how guys can be afraid of very attractive women.

I don't think there is ever a majority vote for something like this because it always comes down to that connection. When you connect with someone, there's a really cool energy between the two of you. I don't care about how much money he makes, or what car he drives, or what colour his skin is. None of that is important to me. The thing that will always get me is that connection that you really can't put your finger on. But you understand him and he totally gets you and what you're about. When you have that, the whole looks thing is secondary.

If I were forced to pick something about guys that I like, it's broad shoulders. I am a sucker for that. :wink:

Unless a guy has extreme physical maladjustments going on (huge gut; weird facail hair; crooked face, etc.), I can like him simply because of his demeanor and personality. There's this kind of funny-looking Asian guy at the gym I work out in, who juggles basketballs all the time. He's always got all these basketballs going everywhere, so I sort of have a crush on him because I find his behavior interesting. (And impressive. I could never do that with basketballs 8O ).

But... I tend to prefer thin guys with long hair. The long hair is a huge turn-on for me, so much so that I think every guy should have long hair. I also like angular jawlines, like the ones Viggo Mortenson and Johnny Depp have.

Assuming the personality is great, I prefer tall, not skinny but a solid build (not muscular, not fat, just a strong build) and an interesting face.

Sleek upper body, soft yet defined muscular features, goat legs, short tail, no shortage of curly hair and horns on the head.

But really...

I've found that my preference has always changed based on the personality. While I can find any male body aesthetically pleasing in a non-sexual way, for it to become sexual the personality has to be just right. I've found that it's generally the skinnier, odd, small, and nerdy types of guys that have the personalities I like, which, thanks to the internet, I've often found after the fact.

Still, a model man build is undeniably nice to look at, as if all those signals my brain is built to search for are realized with perfection. The statue of David is a good example of this, which I think shows that it can also transcend generation trends. After all, men still like boobs, right? The difference here is I don't get aroused by the pure visual appearance -- dude's gotta have a nice pair...of brain hemispheres.

Incidentally, I just noticed Autechre's "Stud" was playing when I posted this. Awesome.
