Body types of guys you would/wouldn't date?

[Anonymous]

link

Rank them in order of most appealing to least appealing, and feel free to put a dividing line to types you would date and the types you simply wouldn't be attracted to. (Hey, everybody has types, nothing wrong with that).

An adding a poll to see your top pick. (only 5 choices so I'll go with ones that look similar)

Skinny

Ottermode

Athletic

Chubby fat

Bearmode

[Bla4Ublah]

Skinnyfat (dead sexy in my opinion)

Skinny (looks almost the same as skinnyfat, probably has gorgeous backbones)

Chubbyfat (this came forth after I completely fell in love with Stepher fry and realized that I love that wonderful gay man)

Ottermode (so okay, it is sometimes fun to feel that six back in my hands)

Builtfat (hidden muscles that come forth when you tickle them? Cutes thing EVER)

Bearmode (I think Till Lindeman is similar to this, and I would definitely not kick him out of my bed!)

Athletic (Meh... Nice to look at some times, but to me it is often just meh.), build(too much for me. Way, way too much...)

Fat as fatass (Reminds me too much of my father. At an older age, it goes, fine, not every one stays on the chubbyfat size, but at this point in life, it reminds me too much of my dad so no...)

Bodybuilder (No. Just. No.)

I love skinny guys, but I always feel like THEY might not like me, because I'm build big. Not meaning I'm hugely fat (a few extra pounds with big t*ts) but people say that my body's structure does make me look a bit... Bigger. Like if you shove me, I would not move. Bump in to me and you will be the one falling down. If you know Miranda Hart, I'm similar to her in body time (well, not as TALL as she is but still...) meaning her body is a bit intimidating towards men because she seems... Big. And I think that would turn off most "skinny" guys from me. They would look smaller and skinnier compared to me, and what man would want that? So I'm left with gazing at them from across the bar while they dance with the smaller girls and spin them around easily, while I would probably just stomp them into the ground with my clumsy feet.

All of the body types listed in the poll are acceptable to me. I mean I'm less crazy about skinny body types because I'm pretty tall and am not slim, so I'd love a guy that's at least my size or bigger (width and height wise lol). But would I reject a skinny guy if he was otherwise awesome (and tall! haha)? No.

Bodybuilders are kind of intimidating, especially if they are tall, so it would depend how much of a teddybear personality he has. I would not enjoy feeling physically threatened by his size. And it would also depend on how obsessed he is with "perfecting his form" and all that. If he's in the gym 24/7 ... that's not hot.

I would not be into dating a guy who is very overweight. I'm not going to bullsh*t with any rhetoric about how it's not healthy, blah blah. I don't expect guys to find very overweight women attractive. Plus I imagine it would make sex kind of difficult, which would suck.

That said, it's just fat. It's hardly impossible for an overweight man to be a hottie underneath it all, I've seen examples of this myself. I see some girls here getting all negative in their comments about heavier body types - grow up.

Someone mentioned "bearmode" - I don't even know what the hell that is. Sounds kind of intense ... but not in a bad way.

"Ottermode" ... who is making these names up!?

[GoGoDancer]

You'll be surprise how many guys find overweight women attractive.

[Opinion Owner]

That's cool. Keep in mind I added "very" - overweight is a huge range. I think it's safe to say the average guy would not be that turned on by a very overweight woman. But this is a side point.

[thisisawkwardbut]

I mean, personality is bigger than physical appearance for me. An average to slightly funny looking guy can be attractive if he is passionate about something, kind, and confident.

If I'm thinking objectively about my past physical attractions, the face is actually really important. You don't have to be a supermodel, but a nice face is attractive on a guy. As for hair, it doesn't really matter as long as it looks like you wash it and get it cut/managed in some way.

In response to your initial question about body type, I'm not one to refuse a six pack, but it's not a necessity. My boyfriend is quite thin, but his personality makes up for it, and honestly, when you're physically close to someone, it doesn't really matter what they look like. You're not necessarily looking so much as feeling a warm body next to you.

And as a side note, sometimes a guy can be TOO good looking. If a guy is ridiculously fit, I feel like I would judge my own body super harshly, haha. And it's super unattractive when a guy is OCD about his health (crazy diet fads and needing to work out to look good as opposed to just feel good mentally and physically).

PS wtf is ottermode?

[xslope]

Skinny 16%
Ottermode 31%
Athletic 27%
-------------
TOTAL 74%

So the vast majority, about 3/4 of women prefer thin men (excluding skinnyfat but im sure it's higher in preference than thicker ones). Sure the sample size is not a big one, but why it still sounds to me like something I expected? I have heard so many times how women prefer boyish bodies over something we consider manly (I do not mean fat by that). I find it pretty fascinating because I feel like men have wider taste when it comes to women. Sure some like thin but there are a lot who like really thick too. Most will prefer something in between. Maybe there is a poll somewhere calling bs on my hunch and I have just not seen one yet since I found this site like 5 mins ago.

[GoGoDancer]

Holy sh*t there's a lot of stuck up females on here. I'm shaking my head in disbelief because I'm always hearing and reading questions/answers from females saying looks and body type don't matter to them. What a joke. If any guy would of said he wouldn't date an overweight girl he would be the biggest jerk on earth. Can someone say double standard? Bunch of hypocrites.

[traceyjill]

Chill. Not all girls would call that guy a jerk. Lots of women see red when guys make weight comments because they've seen too many of those same guys who say "oh I like skinny girls" go around and call heavier girls "whales" and other awful things. At the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with having a *personal* preference, BOTH guys and girls. There IS something wrong with being a d***/bitch and making other people feel bad because they don't meet your preferences.

[Asker]

I agree with her. Furthermore, most of the time it's answers like yours that make people dishonest in their answers with what they genuinely prefer. Maybe women say "looks a body type don't matter" because they don't want certain guys to immediately respond with comments like "holy sh*t there's a lot of stuck up females on here". Can someone say judgmental? Women have a preference as shown here, guys are no different. So let's tone down the negativity.

[GoGoDancer]

LMAO stop kissing each others asses. I'm so sick of woman saying one thing and then truing around and saying and doing the opposite.

[Cottoncandydreams]

"stuck up females" lol

[GoGoDancer]

@CottonCandydreams and that's putting it nicely.

[1inmillion]

Amen brother.

[HotPepper302]

1. Builtfat

2. Ottermode

3. Athletic

4. Bearmode

5. Built

6. Skinnyfat

7. Bodybuilder

8. Skinny

9. Chubbyfat

10. Fat as fatass

I don't find 7-10 particularly attractive... That being said, I've dated super-skinny guys and obese guys, and wanted to rip their clothes off regardless of the fact that, in retrospect, they weren't stereotypically good-looking. It's amazing how much your physical perception of someone changes based on other factors of attraction (personality, scent, touch, etc.).

[cheesesteak7]

that diagram has been posted here before and is stupid.

"Builtfat" guy isn't even fat. He probably has ~15% body fat. Built and Bodybuilder are near-identical.

In fact, most of these diagrams vary to some degree, so there is a small degree of arbitrariness to it all. The terms are OK, but usually the the pics associated with some of them seem fallacious.

[PinkAcid]

least favorite to favourite

1. skinny - don't like guys as little as me, not a deal breaker just my least favourite

2. fat 'fatass' - I don't mind chub as long as it isn't morbid obesity

3. body builder - eww

4. ottermode

5. built - too muscled for me

6. skinny fat

7. athletic

8. chubby fat

9. built fat & bear mode both my favorite types

[kdizzleforizzle91]

Although I'm hot for a few celebrities who have the abs and chests and such, I'm really mostly attracted to the face... But my ideal body type would be something like chubbyfat, skinnyfat, builtfat... Nothing unhealthy, but nothing super skinny either (which I guess could also be unhealthy).

[shadowscapes]

Most women will say Ottermode, and then athletic as a second. It's funny a lot of guys think they need to be buff to impress women, yet many women find hulk-like muscles excessive.

[vasanti]

exactly! too much muscle doesn't look good at all. anything beyond athletic is too much.

[Asker]

I know a guy who is naturally big, he'll never be any of those things if he tried. If he's not bearmode he'd be the big fat dude. I known him since high school, even then he was like 6 something and jacked. It's funny because he's in awesome shape yet it seems like quite a few women don't find him attractive. Doubt he'd like to see this poll haha

[shadowscapes]

personally I think every one of these body types could get laid if the guy has game. maybe the "fatass" guy will have the hardest time out of the bunch, but still.

[Asker]

Oh for sure, but a poll like this is meant to see where women fall, not so much whether one guy won't have any luck. I believe that for every kind of person out there, there are at least SOME people who will find them attractive. For a guy like the "fatass" the grouping will obviously be much smaller. The question is geared to find out just how big the divide is.

[Belleoftheball]

exactly

[beastman88]

you can never have too much muscle :P live strong!

[Doublerainbow123]

I'm sorry if this isn't very helpful, but it really depends on the person for me...their personality and other physical features. I'd say for the most part, I'm attracted to men who are tall and strong...muscular but not too muscular, a little bit of a gut doesn't hurt anything. I don't know how else to describe it other than "manly" looking men...rugged maybe. I've liked skinny guys before though, even though I was a little insecure, because they were smaller than me. The guy I've been with for the last few years and my first real boyfriend is a big guy. He's got a lot of muscle, but he's also got a lot of fat over that muscle. I think he looks great though. I can honestly say there's not a single thing I would change about his appearance. Whether or not that's because I love him, I'll never know, but I don't think that part is what matters. It's all about personal preference, and personality plays a lot into how attractive I find someone, no doubt.

[SunshineLelek]

I can't see the order, but to be totally honest, the only body type I wouldn't date is someone who is clearly overweight. It comes off as being sloppy and careless about your appearance and due to the growing amount of overweight people who have managed to get their weight down so that they are healthy and confident so I KNOW it's possible. There's no excuse.

[ninetynine]

Ottermode is definitely my favorite -- I think being fit with just a little bit of muscle is perfect. I also really like skinny and skinnyfat, though. Athletic is okay, although distinct six pacs like that tend to make me pre-judge a guy by assuming he’s just another meathead who’s really into himself. The rest of them are equally unattractive to me.

1.) Ottermode

2.) Skinnyfat

3.) Skinny

4.) Athletic

[Hannah591]

I prefer ottermode. My boyfriend is exactly like this: link

1. Ottermode

2. Athletic

3. Chubby fat

4. Skinny

5. Bearmode.

[confugirl]

From most to least appealing:

- Ottermode

- Athletic

- Builtfat

- Skinnyfat

- Skinny

- Built

- Chubbyfat

- Bearmode

- Bodybuilder

- Fat as fatass

I will only date the first 3. I'm sorry, but I can't date a guy who's arms are skinnier than mine.

[vasanti]

ikr!

[dx021]

It's funny because in college I was pure BUILT (5'9", weighed 210, ran 2 miles in 12:50), just chiseled as all f***... and now that I'm older I look just like BUILTFAT from this chart and I get WAY more attention / looks from girls.

As a guy you wouldn't think it but girls seem to love big large and burly muscular types. it's strange (although looking at results in this question seems to be pretty accurate among the female-types)

[DivaMonae]

1. Athletic

2. Skinny

3.Ottermode

4.Builtfat

5. Built

6. Skinny fat

No longer attracted to at all (but I would give them a chance)

7. Bearmode

8. Body builder

9. Chubby fat (but not with chest hair)

10. Fat as fatass

[GoGoDancer]

Typical 16 year old.

[cheesesteak7]

just give her 10 or so years. *sigh*...

[DivaMonae]

Just wondering... What do you expect. Like you said I'm a teen. Some of the other answers that were left were more shallow than mine and majority of the women on here are older than me. At least I would consider all of the guys.

[GoGoDancer]

This would of been the perfect time to actually not be the typical 16 year old. Instead of having Athletic at #1 should of said Average or chubby etc that way it wouldn't come off as shallow. Just some friendly advice.

[DivaMonae]

Yeah, your right I could've but I didn't oh well.

[05Jueey]

...or just continue being honest girl

[DivaMonae]

Your right thanks =)

[GoGoDancer]

She maybe be honest but females are hypocrites.

[DivaMonae]

Yeah, we are. Just like guys... And your point is?

I never said that I wasn't a hypocrite nor did I say guys... Until now

[Hanzo]

To all the women who said looks and body type doesn't matter for dating just having confidence sense of humor and personality... LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

I promise they will date those types they listed with or without those traits (preferably with)

I see a lot of familiar names who said looks don't matter too.

Straight up shallow hypocrites. (YOU ALL KNOW WHICH ARROW TO CLICK)

andddddddd go!

[TooUglyToDate]

Your body hardly matters as long as you aren't massively under or over weight.

Face and height are vastly more important.

Girls won't f*** you if they think you are too ugly or too short, a six pack or large biceps won't change that.

[Hanzo]

BUT BUT what if you have a nice personality sense of humor and confident? Surely those things are what women want and not body types! -_-

[MissConfused93]

least favorite to favourite

1. skinny - Ew. I like being the small one in the relationsjip

2. fat 'fatass' - on par with skinny

3. body builder

4. ottermode

5. built

6. skinny fat

7. Chubby fat

8. Bear mode

9. athletic

10. built fat

[Anonymous]

Athletic

Ottermode / Built

Builtfat

The rest are just a no.

I've spent my entire life training ballet and I've been gyming for almost 10 years. I really would appreciate if the guy I was with made an effort and took pride in his appearance in this way.

[Anonymous]

I'm super into bigger guys, either muscular bigger, or a little chubby bigger, definitely over 6 foot, and definitely NOT SKINNY, I couldn't date a skinny guy honestly, I feel safer around bigger more muscular or even chubbier guys, if a guy is chubby I'd like them to be like football/athletic chubby with some muscle rather than just fat laying around the house chubby. But personality is most important to me.

[Anonymous]

1. Skinny Fat

2. Ottermode

3. Skinny

4. Built Fat

The others are just all unattractive to me. I won't say that I absolutely wouldn't date a guy with those body types but just based on the body alone with no other context, the idea makes me...uncomfortable.

[Casper286]

I like chubby guys mainly but I'm not too picky as far as I don't want to be able to get lost in your fat and I don't like washboard abs or someone who's too muscular. I like guys who are soft like teddy bears with an equally soft heart.

[vasanti]

1- Athletic,

2- Ottermode,

3- Built,

4- Buildfat,

5- Skinnyfat.

I absolutely like muscular guys. I like them to look strong. Anything beyond athelic muscle is too much though:

Bodybuilder - I'd die if he slightly touched me :D

Fat as fatass - unattractive belly.

Skinny - I like guys too be so much stronger than me "with muscles". so.. no.

Chubby fat - no ^^

Bearmode - acceptable.

[ChristopherLosRivera]

What if he's skinny but strong? Or is it just the appearance of strength?

[kheserthorpe]

I think she just said she likes the look of muscles. If he's skinny but strong, he's probably not far off ottermode, which is some girl's ideals. Just not this one.

[vasanti]

Christopher, it's a bit of both. I don't like skinny arms very much, I like the look of muscles as kheserthorpe said. but if he is skinny yet strong that's also fine :)
