I guess I’d go with 4, but I can see Electric Warrior’s point on 7. I am having a hard time separating pure looks from what those looks mean about the person.
But pretty much any except the body builders types 12 and 13 is fine. No hair is a preference of mine.
I really can’t choose without the heads. 6 or 7, purely based on a hint of what their style seems to be. Honestly, clinical obesity or anorexia aside, body type just isn’t an issue. I can look at a pic and think, ‘Yuck, that guy looks like he takes steroids,’ or ‘Huh, that guy looks like he models for jean ads c. 1992,’ but I’d never wank to a torso.
I’m generally against this popularity of skinny people of either gender. A girl should have curves, especially not a too small butt. And a guy should have some bulk. Just being skinny isn’t enough.
I don’t think they do the body building because they are out to impress women. I think they enjoy the challenge and crafting their bodies that way. It’s a hobby or a sport for them and not a means to get laid. It’s something they do for themselves and not for women.
I think current bodybuilding has become ridiculously over-the-top. The guys now are totally disproportionate, having placed sheer muscle mass as the number one priority at the expense of everything else. I can’t really fault guys like Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman (the two bodybuilders pictured in that link, who seem to universally inspire revulsion here, and among non-bodybuilders generally) - they are trapped in a bodybuilding “arms race” where the only way to win the money prizes and endorsements is to make your muscles as inhumanly huge as possible. Really I blame the Weider brothers and the IFBB judges, who have allowed this ridiculous “mass monster” phenomenon to go unchecked.
The bodybuilders of the “Golden Age” - the 1970s, if you watched Pumping Iron - are much more aesthetically appealing. Physiques like those of 70s-era Arnold,Frank Zane,Serge Nubret, and my personal favorite, the underrated Ken Waller would have much more appeal among the mainstream. When not in contest shape - i.e. after months of “cutting” and reducing bodyfat - these guys would have simply looked more or less like scaled-up versions of a normal, ideal, in-shape male body, instead of these grotesque guys who are competing now.
