My ‘‘type’’ isn’t really one of the options, but #3 is the closest, both for lusting and cuddling. I tend to like slim/sleight builds but it’s hard to tell from the photo how his shoulders are.
3 and 4 seem most like my idea of an average man. I prefer them to 1 and 2. 5 and 6 are too slim. 7 has the best lighting, which gives him a big advantage, and without that lighting he may seem overly lean. 7, 8, and 9 all have nice physiques a Hollywood actor probably spends hours a day on, and then we see enough of them on TV that we start to expect men to look like that. 10 and 11 are nice, but heavier than I like. 12 and 13 are revolting.
14 and 15 are both nice. They look like two different ends of the ‘normal’ spectrum.
If I could actually have them, I’d choose 7 and 8. And 9. Both for cuddling and life partner. Wait, maybe 9 is my first choice.
Mind you, my own physique is entirely irrevelant in this.
OK, without over analyzing or justifying my choice, I’ll vote 10. Very attractive to me.
0-3 are not my taste, 4-11 are pretty to look at, 12-13 are also out. The best for me is #7. Ten and eleven’s arms are too big. I wonder what the legs of the bulky guys look like. 
For cuddling? I really don’t have a TYPE… it’s all about personality. For lust? Definitely #7… YUM!
I totally agree with this. My husband lost thirty pounds after his heart attack two years ago, going from something rather like 0 to something more like 1, and while I could see he looked “better” in some outside world sense, I didn’t lust for him any more, just lots and lots like before.
That said…I am certainly not immune to the visual pleasure of a nicely toned male body. Most of these guys would get an appreciative oogle from me, but not 0, 6, 12, or 13. I think my favorite is 11.
But if he didn’t get my “not unless you think round is funny” references, it wouldn’t be worth it.
#7 for unrealistic lusting, 4 or 5 for cuddling
Just to add, my choices are the same for cuddling/lusting. Like someone above said, I don’t see the difference. If I’m lusting after someone, I would like to eventually cuddle with him, and viceversa.
I’d cuddle with 0 or 1. I’d lust after 7-11.
Unsquare Dude is #3, so I’m going with that. Skinny, but not a lot of muscle, and not a lot of flab. Just enough to pinch.
7 or 8 is the ideal. The only ones I would kick out of bed would be the beefy body builder ones. Blech.
Oh, me too. I responded before I noticed the cuddle vs lust thing in the thread. I don’t see a difference, either.
I like Mr. 1/10/11 best, though if he asked, I’d have told him he could ease off the reps by around 11 if not before.
As for the lust vs. cuddle thing, here’s where it matters to me: some beautiful bodies are beautiful because they spend lots of time getting beautiful, and not so much time doing more interesting things. I’d rather ogle the lovely chiseled fellow who spends all his free time at the gym, reading body building mags, etc., and cuddle with the gent who is healthy but fun to talk to.
“I’ll have 11 please, Bob”…just package him up and send him over!
::comes in to disagree with dgrdfd’s gender stereotype:: 
There is definitely a physique (or two) that generates for me a visceral reaction “mmm yummy”. No person, merely by being in possession of such a bod, is necessarily someone with anything in common with me, or any reason to want attention from me. So it has no relevance to anything as far as I can see. I mean I suppose I could get involved with someone just based on what they look like, I’m not some kind of “too deep for that” prude who is opposed to that kind of thing, but I don’t know how it’s done.
I get involved with people I click with. That’s sufficiently rare and sufficiently important that the “what does she look like” factor only plays a dealbreaker role: “Is she sufficiently hideous that you could not do her? No? OK good deal, let’s move on…”
So you’re adding personality, when the OP said “focus only on the meat”? Now, I understand that personality is important (I’ve cuddled and would like to cuddle with guys who are not like #7 because of that), but when asked for a purely visceral, physical thing, I don’t see the difference. I don’t know them, I don’t care (in this example) for their personalities.
Point taken. Though I think part of my visceral reaction to a really cut body is “Oh, he must be a gym-goin’ fool and all stuck up and vain and stuff,” even though I know that’s a stupid stereotype. That was my first impression of my husband, even, and I was completely wrong. Fortunately!
Have you all decided, yet? I’m on my way to the gym, and I want to know what to shoot for.
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7! Or 4.
