I like guys from scrawny to kindapudgy and cuddly. Bodybuilders do nothing for me.
If I HAD to pick a guy strictly on body type, I’d go for a guy with the build of a swimmer. I do NOT like the “bodybuilder” look. Not at all.
However, I happen to be attracted to people by personality and if you love a person, everything is attractive.

“Proudly”
darn thing…
Hmmm. I don’t think I have a type. I like cute guys, and “cute” comes in all types. Even some homely guys are quite cute – it’s an attitude-thing, more than a looks-thing. However, I really don’t like the body builder look. To me, that’s the male equivalent of the mega-Barbie, Pamela Anderson look in women. I can’t be attracted to a guy who looks as if he spends more time on his beauty-regime than I do. That said, I do like a hairy chest.
Muscular and lean. No giant body builders, please.
Um, I like guys?
I generally go for guys who’re on the bigger side, whether they’re teddy bearish or a bit more muscular. The guys to whom I’m physically attracted also tend to be in the tallish range - anywhere from 5’10" to 6’5".
I tend not to be physically attracted to “scrawny” guys, mainly because I’m not exactly a petite fleur. I don’t wanna worry about hurting them 
Although, the love of my life (so far) was skinny…Hmm. I also tend not to be attracted to guys who are VERY muscular.
All that being said, my friends have commented many a time that my ex-boyfriend line-up would look odd. I have no physical “type” when it comes to boyfriends.
Long & lean all the way. . .especially if he’s got nice long legs with some flesh on them. I’m not attracted to painfully skinny guys, but I definitely prefer lanky to big.
I like my men at least six foot tall and weighing in from 190 on up.
Oh and there must be hair on the chest but none on the back !
I’ll put in my two unasked-for cents. The rippling body-builder type always really grosses me out.
Oh, and yes, I’m a guy. However, I’m confidant enough in myself to come out and say what I think about guys.
Going back a ways, does anyone remember Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? Well, Harrison Ford was, for years, what women always considered one of the sexiest guys in Hollywood, and nobody could ever claim that guy works out in a gym every day.
He is a carpenter by trade and works for a living, but in ToD, you see him with his shirt off, and he has defined muscles and is not at all skinny, but also not at all uber-buff with jiggling pecs.
Back in the day, I’d say he had a fairly ideal body type.
Now myself, I was scrawny as hell when I was younger, but I’ve bulked up a little bit to about that same type. I’m 5’ 10" and somewhere around 165-70, brownly-reddish hair and glasses. I am in the military.
My waist has expanded a good inch or so in the past year due to a back injury and the inability to work out.
Beer doesn’t help either. (Hey, anyone in the military will know what I mean)
My wife has always said she loved my body, but more so since I put on more weight, I think this concurs with the theme expressed throughout the board.
My wife, BTW, is about 5’ 3" (she always says 4") with something like a 40-or-so-inch waist.
Heh, heh. She’s also six months pregnant. She’s waaaay up from the healthy size eight or nine she started at.
Just wanted put that in there and show off our physical blandness.
“Ohhhh, I’m so pretty. I’m gonna hit you so hard, you’re kids are gonna come out bruised!”
I’ve never found bodybuilders attractive.
I prefer, as if theres a preference, tall and thin.
Big, bulky muscles - Yuck! The Arnold Schwarzenegger look makes me feel ill. shudder Now, geek boys in glasses, on the other hand, give me hot flashes. So do biker boys.
Most of my boyfriends have been 6’ or taller and very, very thin. Some have been shorter and thin. A few have been a bit stocky. Carnie is a few inches taller and a bit stocky. He has good musculature but doesn’t do much gym work; it’s all earned muscle.
My ideal (the fantasy guy) would be John Doe’s character in Roadside Prophets. With glasses. Mmmmm… biker boys in glasses…
It occurred to me that if your friend is just trying to score, maybe it’s possible the huge muscles are an asset. Maybe certain women like to tell their friends, “I slept with a mesomorphic freak this weekend.” Then they can scratch that off their “to-do” list.
I have been mentally attracted to all types. I have been physically attracted to all types. However, I cannot recall having been attracted, even once, to some muscle-bound fool who has trouble getting his hands in his pockets because his biceps are too pumped.
People like that look UNNATURAL to me.
I like a wiry guy…strong arms, wonderful muscular structure in their backs…
I like a chubby guy…plenty of wonderful flesh to hold onto and snuggy on…
I like a short guy…able to wrap my arms all the way around him and kiss him without breaking my neck…
I like a tall guy…makes me feel little and delicate, and all that room on which to let my hands wander…
But big bulky muscles, deliberately crafted, supposedly, to make me swoon? No. Hell no. I’d just as soon go out with a guy just because he had a cool car…and I would never in a million years hook up with a guy JUST because he had a cool car.
Well, add another vote for pale skinny guys. The one with nice abs. I love skaters. And ballers.
Small frame, but well built too.
Perfect for throwing my arms around his waist from behind and tickling his washboard stomach…
