As a follow on to my earlier thread (that I can’t find now), here is the updated album. Once again, please ignore skin color, hairiness or lack thereof, etc. Just concentrate on the actual meat.
This time I tried to have a better selection of physiques I gathered from various fitness message boards (Men’s Health, bodybuilding.com, me, etc.) I tried to go from pretty overweight to world class body builder with skinny dude somewhere in the middle. The photo album I am using allows votes, but I would like for you to comment on them in this thread as well. Thanks for your time!
P.S. I really wish a woman would do this as a thread, too. So if you have time, I am sure the guys wouldn’t mind staring at pictures of the ladies either.
Are we supposed to choose the type of physique we’d like to cuddle up with every night for the rest of our lives, or the one we’d like to see scrubbing the pool with no shirt on?
Oh, yeah. That was an improvement I meant to add to this thread. Please list both the one you would like to cuddle up with forever and the one you lust after. That really brings up an interesting difference between men and women. Women seem to separate the two and most men that I know of, including myself, these are one in the same.
::Queue everyone to come in and disagree with my gender stereotype. ::
I lust after #7, but I searched in vain for a hairy chest that I’d like to cuddle up to for life. #1 came in best for hair, but a bit podgy for physique. Still, no. 1 is probably the best bet for a long-term partner type male.
I hope I don’t derail this with a question, but I am honestly curious. Why would you choose a different person for lusting and cuddling? I’m not saying anyone is wrong to do this, but I want to cuddle up with someone I can lust after so I’m curious as to why there might be two answers.
I agree. As a man, the female I lust after is the person I would want to spend the rest of my life with. But it seems to be a common thing with many women that they are different people. I don’t know if it’s the assumption that someone with a great body comes with baggage (spends too much time working out or eating healthy that he wouldn’t have time for the woman, etc) or what. But it’s really strange for me, too. Hopefully those who feel this way can share their feelings and thoughts.
As far as physical appearance goes, any of them from 3 to 11. 11 is a little too bulked up for my taste. 1 and 2 are a bit too pudgy for my liking, but my husband is fatter than either.
12 is hideous and 13 is both nauseating AND terrifying. And possibly not even human. And he seems to have retracted his penis and testicles into his body (yeah, I know, they’ve disappeared under all that muscle mass, which is sort of my point).
7 for unrealistic lusting (again, the baggage), 3, 4 or 5 for cuddling. I’ve liked my share of 0’s and 1’s, too, but that seems to be something that correlates with the type of personality I like, and something that grows on me, not something I lust after.
None of the others do anything for me at all. 0-3 are heavier than my ideal. 4 and 5 look kind of oddly shaped to me. 6 looks like my dad. 8-11 are obviously in great shape but a lot thicker than I prefer. 12 and 13 are repulsive.
Number 0 is my choice, it’s the closest to my husband, the man who cuddles me every night, who knows me best and who treats me like a princess.
Dude. It’s not about the physique (for me, at least), it’s about the private jokes, and the intense conversation, and the bits that come with knowing someone so well they are you.
Thai bargirls get incredibly turned on by old, fat, balding white men. Or at least that’s what they say. I don’t know why they would lie about a thing like that.
Physique isn’t of consequence much to me. Looking and thinking ‘he looks great’ is different to ‘lusting after’. Personality makes a man cuddly and sexy (for me they’re the same thing) as long as he is also reasonably well groomed. Except for body builders - the last two. No personality would be good enough to make them sexy. Revolting.
7 for lusting. 3, 4 and 5 for cuddling. 1 to 9 are all good. Though 6 reminds me of an ex and I hated having a guy who was thinner than me. Didn’t do much for my self esteem. 0 is a little too hairy for me, but the body shape is ok. 10 and 11 are actually a little to perfect and are therefore intimidating. 12 and 13 scare me.
