What is the ideal body type for a man?

Question

I know the cliche is "tall, dark and handsome," but please be very descriptive. Please mention all types youve dated that you found very sexy and were attracted to. 

For instance, I like my women to be a little bottom heavy. Butts are better than boobs, but thighs are better than butts. Squats at the gym are important. Flat stomachs are ideal, but soft ones are okay too. Her height isn't as important to me I am 5'7 but I think tall women are sexy too. 

So what body shapes of men did you date or find yourself attracted to? Please avoid cliche descriptions. Why did those features turn you on?

I am somewhat stocky at 5'7 and built but not puffy. Relatively flexible with nice midsection. My obliques are more defined than my 6 pack and my serratus anterior. Decent pecs. More on the pale side. Modestly handsome with Eastern European American face. Goofy smile. Strong torso, strong thighs and glutes. Penis is average length and circumference. Rounded shoulders and moderately broad frame.

What do you think? Or am I doomed to the short, pale, and not handsome curse?

It should go the same way for both girls and boys where the body doesn't really matter as long as you like who you're dating, but of course in reality, there are "ideals". I do have a personal set of ideals: taller than me (5'7+), well toned, healthy body (good arms), veins on forearms (oh my god), and natural skin tone. I like guys to be just generally bigger than me because I'm a small girl (someone who can pick me up while hugging kissing, and what have you) and it feels good to be with a bigger guy in my preference (a bit of flab and chub will do fine!) As for the face, I like facial hair as long as it's groomed well, but being handsome can win me over having a nice body any day (I think it works both ways with girls). So to sum it up, stay healthy and be confident with your body because you'll eventually find a girl who'll accept you wholly.

Well, it all has to do with the girl's opinion! In my opinion, I like around 5'6-6'1. Not too bulky. Maybe abs and muscles, but certainly not too much, long legs and arms, in-between medium and wide broad shoulders, white straight teeth, kind eyes to stare into, and decent hair, buzz cut or a regular haircut.

Ideal type of body for a man, focus on these
1) Mesomorph. Provides body frame that is not seen in ectomorphs or endomorphs, broad shoulders. Also closely linked to golden ratio
2) Low body fat, but not too low. 10% and under is fine.
3) High muscle mass. You could work on your lats and obliques as those are commonly overlooked for biceps and pecs only

that basically, no homo

That depends on the girl, for instance one of my friends says she hates abs and actually prefers chubby guys. My other friend told me she likes skinny and tall, and another says she doesn't even have a preference. So yeah, it shouldn't matter what any girls (Or guys) say on this website, you'll be attractive to multiple people throughout your life. So no, you're not doomed to the "short, pale, and not handsome curse" :)

the ideal body type for me is someone who is tall around 6ft and more. Body not too muscualr, I do not want someone who is not strong or fit. However do not be too bulky. If you look up Maciej Kot, that's the body type.

as for you: Your fairly good looking and I do not think you will have an issue finding someone. All girls have their opinions and likes.

by the way what part of Eastern Europe are you from?

Well I'm not picky about height i'm only 5'2 I just prefer a guy that is taller than me but he does not have to be 6 ft lol. I like an athletic build he can be sllim or buff but must have muscles and not look like a walking stick because i'm not comfortable with a smaller than me and im petite. As far as weight I can deal with a well built guy that is stocky, hefty or solid just not morbidly obese. I like scruffy looking guys but not like he is stranded on a deserted island. I don't care if a guy has long hair as long as its neat i'm not into bald guys though I used to date one. I like facial hair and side burns neat and shapely. I love a goatee I think those are sexy. I like manly guys with rough hands and ugly feet lol

This is pretty ideal. I prefer men to be lean and muscular NOT bulky. Body builders don't impress me, I actually find it pretty unattractive. I much prefer that a guy is slightly muscular. Enough to be masculine but I don't need a hardcore six pack.

honestly I dont think I have a type. As long as he's healthy, I'm good :)

KylieT · Answer

I'm only gonna mention the things I'd be particular about. Which actually is a lot. Cute smile, 6" tall or a little bit more, decent set of muscles (runner/swimmer's figure is better!), nice hair to mess around with, not small down there average or more is nice, I don't know but veins on arms that show sometimes are cool, good lips for kissing

tall, bulky muscular football player types

musicbrain5 · Answer

I like a guy who takes care of his body - toned (doesn't have to be too muscly), obviously into fitness or sports. A darker complexion and dark hair are really attractive to me. I am not too picky about height, but do keep in mind that I'm 6'1" myself.

What part of Eastern Europe are you from? I seem to be drawn to them... my fiance is Serbian.

brianawilld · Answer

I'm 5ft however I won't date a guy shorter than 5'6. But slim definitely with a little muscle, I'm not into that OVERLY muscled thing.
