Ok, this takes the “Increase Jweb’s self-esteem” award of the day.
I’m 6’4", 255 lbs, broad shoulders, fair amount of strength, play football… bow before my greatness!!!
Of course, you’d have to get past my girlfriend first (and like Audrey said, she’s definiatley the cute one in the relationship)
Can I play too? I don’t really have as much of a thing for guys my size, though I don’t find them unattractive… I really do like slender guys with just a little muscle. In other words, I really like Potter’s type (he’s short, too)… whereas he really likes my type. ^^ ^^

I like fluffy guys. Always have.
And I think 6-packs are … ehh. I’m not impressed with them. And anytime I see a guy with HUGE muscles all I can think about is how shriveled his balls must be from all the steroids.
Preach it, LucysLogic101! Love a good pair of calves, and either you got 'em, or you don’t; there’s not much a man can do if God wasn’t handing 'em out that day.
Mr. Levins, FTR, has The Best Legs ever, including his lovely muscular calves…he’s actually been complimented on his calves by women who are behind him in line at the convenience store. I love that! I get all smug and smiley and superior when I see other women checking out his legs.
But one of the best parts of a man, IMHO, is that part where his butt meets his thighs; if he’s got a good ass, and good thighs, that part is just…sigh
Let’s just say I love whipping Mr. Levins’ towel off if he’s foolish enough to be wearing one. 
My husband has just enough padding, and legs to die for! He played basketball competetively for many years, so the muscles are very very well defined. He’s always got people checking him out when he’s wearing shorts. And his butt. Mmmm…
Where’s the smiley that licks his lips when you need 'im??
My honeypie has a bit of extra around the middle, but I don’t care. He’s very cuddly and awesome.
I do think fit guys are sexy, though. I’ve had both and it didn’t really matter when it came to the sex.
I think women are less judgemental about bodies and such. If I love someone I love his body no matter what it looks like.
Where were all these cuddle-appreciating women when they were single? 
Huh. Am I the only one here who likes bony, scrawny men who look like I could whup 'em?
A lot of fans in here of broad shoulders. It sounds like the single most important thing to some of the ladies in here.
What is a man suppose to do if he was born without broad shoulders? Is he just screwed? They are something you have to be born with… you can’t work out and make your shoulders more broad (can you?)
I like men whose bodies fit them. Skinny, teddy bearish, whatever. Some people look damned good at 200+ pounds, others look uncomfortable and awkward.
Damn, thought my post went through yesterday.
auntie em, I used to go for that type near-exclusively. Then I met the guy who’s now my husband, and yow! He’s got some “cuddle” on him, and a nice layer of muscle underneath. I loved him even when he had 40 extra pounds on him, but he’s working on losing more weight out of long-term health concerns, and I support him in that.
Actually, Ferret Herder, I’m not sure I have a favorite physical “type” (althought Extreme Body Builder types I tend to reject out of hand, and I don’t know if it’s because of the type of personality I associate with that body type, or if it’s because it’s so . . . bulgy). Witness the men whom I LOVE from Average Joe (yes, I watched it–flog me later):John, Tareq, and Craig.
First, to the guys lamenting the “taken” women in here: I’m single. grin
Yes, I’m a fan of the broad shoulders and cuddly tummy. No, its not a requirement. It’d be nice, but nice, smart, funny guys aren’t always built to my specifications, and chactor is a higher priority for me. (Though cuddly, fluffy, or lanky, they have to give good hugs. No hugs, no chance at a decent relationship.)
I do have some physical traits that I automatically lean toward. (blue eyes, dark hair, nice hips, strong hands, broad shoulders…) but none of them are hard set requirements. Personality points count for a lot, and only rarely have I been with a guy even close to my physical ideal.
Hm. My first boyfriend was a body-builder type and had a layer of fat that he couldn’t get rid of. At the time I always coveted those men with six-packs. And I always pictured myself with someone tall, broad-shouldered and six-packed. I dated one, once.
The one I ended up with is my height, narrow-shouldered and “skinny,” meaning, not a drop of fat on him 
but he’s also pretty muscle-y so he has a six-pack and quite well-defined arms and legs … drool.
Guess I’m just sayin’ that body-builder-types, “cuddly” types, six-packs, and skinny are in no way mutually exclusive. I’ve dated combinations of them all. And their “cuddliness” had very little to do with any of it.
And I thank the stars every day that men come in so many delicious varieties …
~6’,180 lbs or less? Yes, please!
I like to see cheekbones, and bonus points are awarded for looking good in a (stylish, not Seinfeld-esque) pirate shirt. Big guys just can’t pull that look off.
Wiry men of the world, do not despair: you, too, have a fan club
So I’m guessing scrawny guys are even LESS preferable than guys with a muscular physique? Fuck.
Don’t mind me. I’m just having another one of my little pity parties about how no girl in her right mind would ever want to be with me.
For actual cuddling, my husband is perfect. He’s got just a little extra cuddleness around the middle, including a little love handle thing going on, but great legs, arms, chest and butt. He doesn’t have a fat face or anything. He’s nice to hug.
Don’t worry about it too much, Soapbox Monkey. For one thing, IIRC from another thread, you’re pretty young. I see young guys with your build with girlfriends all the time. (Anyway, I doubt you’ll have that build for very long. Not many men do. ) For another thing, the way it often happens (and maybe it’s this way for men, too) is that you meet a guy you like and are attracted to, and if he’s not “your type,” a little voice in the back of your head is saying, “But that’s not who you should like. You like brunettes … with green eyes … This guy is a brown-eyed blon–oh, what the hell. Go for it.” And you do. Go for it, that is.
Cuddle! Yay! Mr. FaerieBeth, aka Stonebow, is perfect. Very cuddly, very sexy! And just perfect for me!!!
I’m not sure what predisposes a woman to find certain body types sexy or not sexy, but here goes my WAG for today-
I (meaning me, not you) have never liked tall lanky guys. I am 5’2". I am, well, to use a southern term, buxom. Voluptuous? Sheesh, okay…I have more than my fair share of T & A. Now, If I stand next to a 6 and 1/2 foot tall, 150 pound guy? That looks comical! I just wouldn’t look right, and so I have always felt it wouldn’t feel right, either. My hubby is not fat, or even what I would call chubby, but he is approximately ‘a head taller’ than me…and he weighs more than me…and we look ‘right’ together. It sure as heck feels ‘right’ in any case wicked grin
