Below are some women with different body types: athletic, thin, plus size and curvy. Are guys only attracted to one of these body types, or do they not mind as long as the girl is pretty/hot?
There is a certain range of body types that enough men find attractive that they could be considered "objectively" attractive. Thus, there are certain body types that fall outside of that range that enough men don't find attractive that they could be considered "objectively" unattractive, such as excessively overweight, excessively underweight, or excessively muscular body types. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are just that: exceptions.
However, within the range of "objectively" attractive body types, men's preferences will vary widely. For each body type within said range, there is guaranteed to be a subset of the male population that finds it ideal.
TL;DR: No, there is not just one attractive body type. However, some body types will attract more men than others.
Short answer: no. But specific body types are generally indicative of youth, health, and fertility, which is what the (straight) male sex drive is attracted to. It's generally more about proportion than raw numbers.
A particular guy may or may not have more specific tastes, of course, but as a whole? Statistically, if you're a woman trying to attract men, you're more worried about your physique than you should be.

Most guys seem to be attracted to anything with boobs.
Not at all. I'm a perfect example of that. I am attracted to skinny, thin, average, curvy, plus-size and even chubby types. I don't care too much about the body. If I find her face beautiful, body won't be an issue to me. Well, only if she was too skinny or fat, that's where I draw the line.
Guys are attracted to what guys are attracted to. Some are not picky. Some are very picky. I prefer pics 1 and 2. My best friend ONLY likes pic #4.
To confuse the issue some more: Every man has a 'type'. But that's just his favorite. He will date/screw/marry outside his type if his type is unavailable.
Scientifically I wonder. But humans can be trained to like things that don't like. It is why so many women and men are turned out in prison. If your culture embraces and glorifies thick women then most men from there are going to like thick women the most. Especially if they mostly see thick women too. So men like different body types but I could never say if that is innate or not. in my opinion it probably isn't innate.

Its not only one body size men are attractive to. Its just a preference. Some girls are able to carry themselves better than others of the same physique and that sometimes is more attractive. I love muscular, strong, athletic and tall women. Skinny ones are also attractive but the former ones are what i would prefer.
Yes, all men are the same. We all have the same brain, the same preferences, the same desires, the same feelings. We're basically a giant hive-mind. Seriously? In what reality do you live?

Chill. I know a lot of guys who put down curvy girls for being ‘fat’ and others make fun of skinny girls for being ‘flat’. A lot of guys have strong preferences
Well, you're the one who who asked if guys are ONLY attracted to one body type. Everyone has different preferences. I don't know why some people find that so hard to grasp, let alone don't see the obvious evidence of that everywhere they look. Haha
@maria2716 None of them are exactly my type. But the only one out of these that comes close is the last one. I don't like huge breats like hers, especially if they look fake. But I like wide hips / big booty while the reast is slim. The first too are just way too skinny for me, while the third one is too large overall.
Guys find women of all body types sexy. In this case, the only two I found sexy were in the red and yellow bikini, and then the one in the jean shorts.
It's not one rule for each guy. I found each of those women attractive in their own way. Provided you're not an extreme in either direction (anorexic or morbidly obese) then you're fine
I have a range. It's not like one and none of the other ones are attractive. It's one I find certain features and characteristics attractive and different women have them to different degrees
Nope! I am attracted to more than one body type. I mean, it's a general range -- there are certain types that would be unacceptable to me that fall outside of that range -- but it's still pretty broad.
No. There is no one size fits all when it comes to personal taste.

Where is the poll? Most guys love skinny girls, like number two, some guys prefer athletic girls, like number one. There are also certain guys who like girls like number four. Number three is obviously too fat, only a drunk, drugged or desperate guys like women like that one.

Not any less than girls are. When's the last time you dated a guy that wasn't 6 foot tall, lean, and with a defined jawline?
