I don't find male bodies attractive at all, toned or not. I feel angry at the thought that a female, society says I should drool over men's bodies. Ugh.

Muscle men are so unappealing.

I've always quite liked scrawny, skinny guys. Especially with long legs. But cuddly is ok too.

What's wrong with guys having hair on their chest?
Gives you something to play with.


Pretty sure that's what nipples are or. :lol:


Yes but why would one only confine themselves to only one form of entertainment? :wink: :lol:


Trust me, most guys don't want their chest hair played with. lol


True. There probably are a few exceptions to the rule though. XD

I really, Really, don't go for muscle tone. I go for beefy and strong. That was the only example picture I can find.

I agree with Hector, you seem to go for "muscle". Muscle = strong. You can't be strong without muscle! And it is not uncommon to prefer that over "toned".
You also can't be toned without some muscle, but yeah, being toned is more about the muscle/fat ratio.

I personally like what I would describe as the "healthy" look. Some muscle, some tone, but not to the extent that it looks like he has to try really hard to maintain it (e.g. the first guy).

Hmm maybe.. but being toned I don't go for. I like big men but with fat on their bodys as well as muscle, whether that muscle below the fat is toned or not. Maybe I should be clearer.

Of course, it's manly! I think the "waxed chest" thing is similar to the "size zero" model look. You would rarely see a male model with a hairy chest, but that doesn't mean women don't like it.

lol, ok now I'm getting confused! Muscle can't be flabby, it can only be big or small (or somewhere in between). I think of toned as having muscle PLUS having low body fat, which seems to be the bit you don't go for?

Anyway regardless of the words I think we get what you mean, and I think your "type" is the same as many others'.

You can still have toned muscle under a layer of flab. What im trying to say is whats under the flab really doesn't matter.

i have often tended to prefer skinny furry guys (Erisad: yes, i have enjoyed playing with their chest hair too. and their leg hair. and knuckle hair. oh never mind! at worst, they didn't mind my fun... and at best, they enjoyed the attention).

but i dated some different types and did not discriminate based on body type. i don't hate muscles. i can definitely respect if a person crafts their body. i would never do so myself, but i find it curious and interesting.

Lol, I've never had chest hair to play with. :( Guys have let me play with the hair on their head though, which can be amusing. ^_^

I guess us walking shag rugs fit somewhere between yuck and not bad, glad to know that at least some women don't mind us, especially since we cant help the genetics behind it all. (yeah, to some people, they call me either a wookie, wolfman, or whatever, even though my face isnt totally covered, unless I dont shave for a week or two.)


EDIT: And yeah, hair pulling can be very painful sometimes >_>

I would date a guy who was any shape. I actually have a preference for very lean guys, and I am not too bothered about muscle tone. I have met girls who said they liked a man with a bit of a gut because it meant he could relax and have a good time... so it is not unusual.

I think people like a variety of different body types and I think its more important who is inside the body than how the body looks.

having said that I do prefer 'fit' looking men.

and TeaEarlGreyHot, men love their chest hair played with!

I like them lean and lanky, or just a little bit soft, but I am not into muscle at all. Even muscle under softness. If the first guy lost muscle definition, he would be attractive.
