Let's just say "important."
How someone takes care of their body reflects their self-esteem and wisdom.
It's one thing if you CAN'T do ANYTHING about your physical fitness because you have cerebral palsy or other debilitating illnesses, but PARAPLEGICS CAN EXERCISE, and it helps them to have good blood flow, strength, and prevents blood clots from forming from being too sedentary. It's the same for everybody else too.
If you take care of your body, LIFE IS EASIER. Regular tasks are simpler to achieve.
Giant problems for elder Americans are getting ON AND OFF THE TOILET, ON AND OFF THE SOFA, CHAIRS, in and out of a CAR, UP AND DOWN STAIRS, carrying GROCERIES INTO AND OUT OF A CAR.
This happens because elders don't perform regular weight-bearing exercises, i. e. weightlifting, to maintain and improve strength.
Elders also have balance problems because of not performing weight-bearing exercises. Again, weight-lifting circumvents this, along with particular exercises such as biking, working with balance balls, medicine balls, those little balance things you wobble around on.
Along with maintaining strength comes stamina, body tone and good looks.
A sexy body advertises fitness and ability: ALWAYS a GOOD THING!
I voted very important but for unusual reasons. I think I can be attracted to many things. I can find many sizes and shapes, heights, and characteristics attractive. I can find a combination of things worth loving in a man, or the perfect qualities in an imperfect man and still find him attractive. So, basically I ain’t got no type. But I do have turn offs. And it’s weird but I don't know what they are until I see them. I recently found out I’m turned off by a man who has both a big head and bad posture. By itself I don’t think it’s a big deal but the combination of the two together was enough for me to want to break up with a guy because I just couldn’t find his mannerisms attractive. Every time he would turn his head I would just feel turned off. And I can’t maintain a healthy relationship with a man that triggers my turn offs. So it’s unfortunate but I think that you can’t look good to everybody and you have to find somebody who likes you for you. Because I’m attracted to some conventionally unattractive qualities as well
It is somewhat important obviously you’re not going to as a guy want to marry a chick that is 350 pounds I do agree with the idea that being a Victoria’s Secret type body of a model is unreasonable. I will say looking like Marilyn Monroe released a body of Marilyn Monroe should be expected if a woman or a girl wants to get a date there a chubby chasers pronounce guys are not into. Guys are very visual so if you look like Kim Kardashian you’re good if you look like Marilyn Monroe you’re good if you look like Beyoncé you’re good if you look like Ariana Grande you’re good there is a limit and the fat skinny spectrum I would say it’s about between 90 and 150 pounds obviously depending on your height Alexa bliss 5 feet of fury is 5 foot one so obviously he was is expected to be 105 pounds now if you are 5 foot7 165 pounds and you look like Bianca Bel Air another WWE wrestler then yeah I think so but I will wait and body type.
As I have gotten old, it has become less important to me. It still matters, and I think I still have a good dad bod for 46, but its not what it was at 26. I think we become more forgiving as we get older, but they have to have some type of sex appeal, and that extends beyond just having a nice body.
I think the younger you are the more important it is to you, because as you think long term you got to consider how good they look today in order to consider the future over the long haul. Because its not like it ever stops mattering.
I am 46, so I am more forgiving of women in my age group because at 55 how the heck will I look and who the hell do I think I am anyway.

I would say about 60% important. I don't want a frumpy looking overweight woman, but I don't need a Hollywood body on her either.
@Apple1996 Do you see any successful men with women who are as fat as her? No, you don't. Because those men are more conscious of their own power than some of the bottom feeders who will pat her on the back.
@Apple1996 Or to put it another way, men have a right to preferences just like women do. If you women want to say she's cute/hot that's fine but it's not the opinion of guys with options in life.
@Apple1996 That's a great way to rationalize why you can't get a successful man.
@Apple1996 This is about you identifying with fat women who aren't held accountable for their poor habits... not about whether your husband is a homeless dude you had to beg to marry you or not. That kind of topic would require an entire team of psychologists to analyze.
@Apple1996 Some plus size women are beautiful, and Lizzo does have a pretty face, but most TRULY overweight women are not good looking nor is it even good for their health. When I was younger I was a big time chubby chaser but I think I maybe outgrew that. When we keep saying overweight women are beautiful we validate their laziness in trying to better themselves and their health, and we pretty much teach them that it's okay if they're overweight and have flabs and folds, while they think they can have a right to a fit, good looking, prince charming. It's honestly ridiculous and unfair.
@Apple1996 Would you date a guy that is 5ft tall? Because "real women" would look past that, right? Everyone is entitled to their preferences. Fact is, most men think plus-size women are unattractive.
I agree w/u to an extent bc I was the fat girl in high school. I used to get called Free Willy or Shamu! I lost 100 lbs by the time I was 19. But.. wut about these junkie celebrities? Faces all corroded and pale from doing so much dope and w/e else? Looking anorexic.. little Wayne looks like shit!
@NoNameGuy123 my husband is pretty short so height isn't something that I even notice
@ManOnFire it is okay for people to be overweight if they are happy with their bodies then why should I care?
@Apple1996 Well, sure. They have a right to be happy with it. But they shouldn't expect guys to be happy with it and still want them.
@Apple1996 Are you asking us men about our opinion or you, a girl, is telling us how it is?
It's simply a fact, I don't know a single man in my circle that likes obese chicks. There are people with BBW fetishes but that's a tiny proportion of men.
@NoNameGuy123 I'm talking about men in general have all types of preferences for women. And in my real life I know at least 10 men that openly talk about how they prefer fat women. I've heard the saying "if she ain't 280 she ain't a lady" too many freaking times from men. Maybe just who I hang with tho
@Apple1996 Honest question, dont mean any disrespect. But are those men fat themselves?
@NoNameGuy123 no they are not. Most of my guys friends/guys I hang out with are military since my husband is military. They are all super fit for the most part
@Apple1996 Fair enough, that's not my experience
To me, my partner is sexy in my eyes no matter what shape they are 😂.
Thats a great answer!!
@Zolly99999 thank you ☺️
People who say it's very important are after flings, hookups, etc. They are too vain, too shallow, too insecure, and too self-centered to have any worth or value in a relationship.
People who say it is important are just a step below that. They are fairweather friends and the minute something changes they either become embittered, condescending and ignorant, or they start cheating.
Anyone with half a brain after allknows that looks change whereas a rotten personality lasts until you die. You can only laugh when the people who put looks as important and very important whine and cry and b**** that they can't get any decent partner. Heads are on backwards and they wouldn't know a decent partner if they were bitten in the ass.
I would like to say it was very important but it's the same time it's kind of important and it's the same time depending on who you are and who she is there's something better or greater Within and that's the part that you find sexy and hot is her brain her heart her personality that's what makes you fall in love with her that's what makes you like her that's what makes you want to happen and if she's confident if she's happy if she's smart and she's intelligent and she can smile and has a good body too that's just an extra bonus but I mean it's not the end of the world if she doesn't I think we would all like to find somebody that has that toned tamed hot sexy body with all the above and for me you are all the above first your smart
You're confident you're happy you're intelligent you're beautiful in all different types of ways you have that sexy hot toned and tanned body
Very important.
As someone who takes his fitness and health very seriously, I expect the same from my significant other. Gladly she already did take her physique and health seriously prior to me meeting her. It is okay to have some downs. Life isn't only ups, afterall. What matters is that when you're on a decline, how will you get yourself back up? Some people choose to remain lazy, adopt the victimhood mindset, while others (the winners) choose to get back up there.
As someone who is very aesthetic and healthy, you won't find me walking with an overweight or very skinny person.
not a priority...
being attracted to her is very important yes but, my idea and concept of what sexy is... is not reduced to a very specific or certain type of body
so to me, a woman can have either of the many different types of bodies and as long as I really am into her for many reasons and the right reasons, I am still going to find her very sexy and very attractive, lol
i think everyone believes a sexy body is important- although we all have different ideas of sexy. i DO NOT like muscular bodies. just the arms i suppose. i don't like feeling like i'm on top of some piece of wood or something. i like soft bellies in men and women.
Yess!!
Interesting
Like 7/10 important. And i find lean to average the sexiest of all. No abs nor buffness needed. Just soft and toned

Yeah their body is kind of low on the priority list, there a few things way mote important than looks that need to be found first.
I'll take a fat trustworthy, partner/homemaker over a skinny, intitled, bitch any day.
How often you gonna sit and stare at them anyways?
Smart answer. I post a similar question weeks ago. If for a guy is important to have a partner who has a perfect body when intimate, many guys say for them is not important, that is not hat it counts really others told me for htem is huge if their partner or girlfriend or date has a nice body.
Don't get me wrong, I'd like a smaller skinnier girl, but my girl is nice, loves me, likes to cook for me, has communication skills, understands that sometimes I like my me time and don't want someone cuddling on me 24/7, has a decent job, and dosent have a bunch of drama in her life, no kids from some other guy, no redicoulous debt.
I wouldn't leave all that just to try and find a slim shorty with a nice small yet perfectly round bubble butt.
I'd basiclly be goving up a great girl for what? Slightly better sex? I don't even want to have sex that much, I'm getting older and work my ass off in construction, I'm tired and worn out.
I don't need some girl who thinks she's the bag and all she brings to the table is her tiny dress size, and fuck younger women, genZ is dumb as shit and they annoy me with the random stuff they don't know like not knowing what a floppy disc is or the weird slang they use. I wouldn't want to live with someone in their early 20s, sounds like a headache.
And yeah I've seen some real idiotic fuck boy men.
I worked with a guy that said " woman can only please one head, the one on your shoulders or the one in your pants, I'm picking the one on my pants"
And that idiot seems to go through marriages like candy, weird how putting sex first dosent work.
As someone who's been both six pack and halfway between obese and morbidly obese I can say personality is important but we are just as vain as each other... no one went for mr obese but 6 pack... and even if logically I had a rubbish personality it answers your question...
It is what the person finds sexy not what sexy means to the society. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For instance I dont like physically a body builder physique in a man. For me I found it extremely disgusting those type of bodies besides they sure inject something on their bodies, turn off for me. But I like a more aesthetic, athletic body on a man. It does not have to be super perfect but at least I see the guy works out.
When you are young you think you want perfection. Then you grow up and realize it doesn’t exist. Everyone has flaws. They are what make people interesting, attractive. The real stuff.
I'm not lookin' for the one
Later, but for now I'm havin' fun
I'm done 'cause I always get hurt
Won't be here for long
Baby, you can hate me if you want
But now I gotta put myself first
We can kiss, we can touch
And do it often
But if you're here lookin' for love
That's when you've lost me
We can kiss, we can touch
And do it often
But if you're here lookin' for love
That's when you've lost me
Ideally I would like her to have a sexy body. But I find a lot of body types sexy sone more so than others but sexy none the less. So if I end up with a woman than I find her sexy in a variety of ways even if her body type isn't the most sexy its still sexy.
It’s important that I’m attracted to her. She doesn’t need to be a 9/10 but should try to be healthy and have a best body she can; just like I try to have. If that goes away I may lose some attraction and moreover she could lose confidence in herself. Because while selfishly I would enjoy seeing her, it’s her own health and self worth I would care more about longterm.
Make sense?
Yes but face matter much much more, like if she has a beautiful face I'll think she's sexy regardless, unless she's fat I never thought a fat woman had a beautiful face, I always thought to myself that she might become that if she lost the weight
Sexy is too big of a word. Its definition varies. Depends on the couples' attraction level and confidence. Remember to be sexy, you need to be confident with your skin first. It doesn't matter what shape you are in. That confidence will boost you and overflows that it can transcend to your partner. This will make the attraction between you two becomes stronger.
FAR more important to have a candid and 'sexy' mind-set.
A lusty mind is WORTHLESS if she's unwilling to MANIFEST it...
youth & beauty are perishable commodities~
Robert Heinlein quipped in his 'intermissions' in his classic "Time Enough For Love"
that: "a TRUE lady takes off her 'dignity' in private with her raiment and does her whorish best;
at all OTHER times, she can act as chase and modest as her 'persona' requires!"
I wouldn't say they have to have by societal standards, a sexy body. But I do put importance on being physically attracted to her, and part of that is her taking care of herself by working out regularly like I do. That's the sexiest a body can be to me.
It's very important to me.
But the term ''sexy body'' requires some definition:
on my own behalf - I 'need' to feel physically attracted; this is not necessarily following ''mainstream beauty standards''.
I can -as examples- well ignore scars, irregular teeth and similar.
It's very important to me, but it's also very important to me that I keep my own body in good form. I have fallen short of that in my own life for a variety of reasons, but I hate hypocrisy and that's why I'm not dating right now. I would never ask of a woman what I don't demand from myself.
I just need to know she’s doing her best. Not starving herself and/or doing cardio 4 hours a day (unless she’s a competitive runner). But if she’s going out to lunch/dinner all the time with her friends, putting little effort into exercise and just complaining about her body vs. actually doing something about it that would be an issue.
Look at all the older couples where the woman is totally out of shape. That's a couple where the guy never set any expectations. I'm not that guy.
I’ve really only found women attractive that have a body that I think is sexy but let’s say hypothetically I fell deep in love with someone that wasn’t my usual type it wouldn’t matter that much
They’re doing good but my daughter keeps me up all hours of the night lol
2 months
Yeah she cries all the time tho lol must come from my girlfriends side because my mom said I was a quiet baby
Somewhat. I find all sorts of women's bodies attractive though and besides. Their personality is equally attractive.
I don’t shop bodies.. I shop overall attraction which comes in a variety of sizes. But to be frank , I like a guy to have meat on his bones.
That's not really important, as long as we're there for each other. Sexy is a very relative notion depending on customs and the partner's state of mind.
Nah not important to me at all. Could care less about looks
Physical attraction is important it's part of what draws you to your partner the other part obviously being personality and stuff not of a physical nature.
I don't usually go for anyone less than a 5. A 6 or 7 is reasonable. Anyone higher, and I get really insecure.
In my younger years I smashed a couple fat girls, but nowadays if a girl isn't fit/ thin I'm not even going to waste my time.
As long as she's a S1ut in Bed and Lady in society i don't mind at all! I actualy turned on more to the Actions/Mind than Physics...😉
As a person who takes health seriously and eats properly and works out, I expect the same from my partner. I dont want to be with someone who got sick just because he didn't have the discpline to control his bad habits
As long as she isn't extremely underweight or overweight then a womans body is sexy to me for the most part so I guess its important.
Sexy is in the eyes of the beholder, but I do want my partner to be in "reasonable shape" - a concept that's ALSO in the eyes of the beholder. :)
It's not important to me at all. I just need to like the person.
Very but most women have a sexy body provided they are fat or obese.
Small waist is a necessary for me. The rest is fine.
they don't need a perfect body but it should be at least more on the good side
Personality and how they make love is more important than having a sexy body.
I mean I’m gonna find her sexy if I’m with her! So it is very important!
I don't necessarily worry about being "sexy" but I do believe in being fit and healthy.
I don’t need a sex picture perfect body I just need attraction and attraction comes in many shapes and sizes.
It's somewhat important.. But if she has a cute face and a banging personality, and as long as she is not shaped like a man and obese.. I can overlook not having a super sexy body..
It's not a sexy body according to others. It's a sexy body according to me.
I don't know about the whole sexy comment etc. But well I think it will only work if your attracted to her physically as well as emotionally.
WTF is a sexy body? A body that makes me want to have sex with her, yes. I don't give a shit about any popular conceptions of what that is.
My husband is chunky and has somewhat of a belly, it doesn't bother me much. He keeps me warm
I just need to feel like I wanna grab her all the time... I need to be warm for her form lol
They could be skinny, in the middle, chubby, idc
Having a sexy body is never a bad thing ofcourse. But for me personality comes first and if i like a girls personality then I wouldn't care taking less then perfect 😇
It’s somewhat important to me, not huge but I don’t want to be with someone that doesn’t take good care of herself. I do take care of myself, so I want to be with someone who thinks the same way.
Very important but well lol I can dream haha.
Extremely Important
I’m not dating A Girl that doesn’t give me a Instant boner when I look at her.
Not that important, just don't look too over the top.
Its important but less important than me finding their body sexy
As long as she is attractive, has nice boobs, I don’t really care unless she is obese
Would be nice but not the be all end all for me.
Attractive face is most important for me don't really care about body
As long as I find her attractive as a whole, personality and looks, a somewhat nice body is fine 😊
