I’d like a #7 with #4 pecs, please!
1-5 for cuddling. As far as ideal goes, 7-10 with a slight preference for 7.
Seems like a lot of guys built like 7-10 (slim/slightly bulked, very well defined, not much body hair) are either older teenagers or gay–at least all the guys in the gay-themed “meet new people” ads in the local alternative newspaper resemble that type. I think my ideal body type (aesthetically, anyway) is stereotypically associated with gay males. 
12 and 13 are hideous. I can’t stand the bulked-up inhuman leatherskinned roidhead look. No offense to any serious Doper bodybuilders lurking out there, but to me the guys in those pics don’t even look quite human anymore.
I like them all. I just like men. I would hook up with any of them.
However, I don’t think I could have a relationship with 12 or 13. They spend way more time on themselves than I think is good for a balanced life… (Sorry for any of you out there who are bodybuilders and have a good balance, it is just my first reaction.)
Can I have 10 please if I promise to feed him and walk him? 
Well, I guess 9 could come over too, especially if I had some cheese to grate…looks like those abs would work wonderfully for that.
I’m glad someone else picked #10. I was starting to feel shallow. I really like the broad shoulders/big chest though.
Hard to tell with the lighting, but maybe two.
Lusting vs. cuddling - or actually lusting vs. long term relationship. Skinny cut guy is going to age. And eventually he won’t be skinny cut guy any longer. Might as well just cut to the chase…
If by “much more aesthetically appealing” you mean not quite as nauseatingly scary, yes. Those guys are all still way too extreme for my tastes. I’m not THAT picky, and I can enjoy most normal male bodies…but those bods are NOT normal. Or aesthetically appealing in any way.
I still find them really unattractive.
Are you saying it is all just to impress judges? Is it some kind of control thing - a male version of anorexia for women. I can’t control much in my life, so I will control my own body image? I am perfectly happy to be told I am way off beam with that one!
7 is hand-down the best for lusting after. 3 & 4 for cuddling.
Numbers 4 and 7 are the hottest, but I’m attracted to all from 4-9, pretty much.
I don’t get the “lust vs. cuddle” thing; I’ve never met these guys and have no idea who I actually want to spend time with. Judging them that way seems to be reading into them by their looks, which is really annoying for either sex. Maybe #0 is the nicest guy of the bunch and #4-9 are all douchebags, but how could I possibly know? So I’ll cuddle with the ones I find hot.
Yet I see plenty of women here picking #7 or 4 to lust after but a different guy to cuddle. Do women assume that chubbier guys are nicer people? That’s kind of unfair. Are the women in the thread just trying to demonstrate that they’re not shallow? That’s funny, in a thread that’s all about objective preference for bodies.
Personality is a much bigger player for me than physique IRL*, but in this case, I’m just choosing physiques, which I thought was the point.
*Wish I could see the faces, too…that’s more important than physique also!
At least the torsos of Arnold, Frank, Serge and Ken have their heads attached to them (as well as other very interesting bits… drool, drool, drool). And thanks so much for those “Golden Age” links! Mmmmm.
But to answer the question, I like all types of mens’ bodies, whether they are perfect, imperfectly pudgy, overly-perfected (e.g. 12 and 13), and even perfectly furry. But I don’t really like skinny so much. A skinny man just might be too much to overcome.
As to 12 and 13, if they could just relax a little I would drool all over them too, yup. (FWIW, what I most like about bodybuilders is how their muscles make their arms stick out from their bodies. That is just too cute. LOL)
(BTW lusting/drooling/swooning/admiring/sighing/sweating/fanning/giggling/grinning-from-ear-to-ear-like-a-silly-goose, has nothing to do with wanting sex, seriously.)
That I can see. Although in another thread, a Doper poster out how probably some of those guys may spent no more than one hour daily at the gym. Thing is, I also spend an hour daily at the gym. So it’s not “too much time” for me. And really, I’d rather have someone spend one-two hours at the gym every evening than playing videogames at home/drinking beer in front of TV/do nothing. Shrugs
I will give you my gut response when I see 0-3… They don’t work out, but they’d expect the girl to be slender and athletic. In fact, some of those body types (in older teens and young adults) where the ones who insulted my looks when I was slightly overweight. The skinnier dudes? They probably ignored me, but they were not downright rude. YMMV.
Oh, and if we’re going by healthy, I have a hard time seeing 0, 1, and possibly 2 as anything less than “slightly overweight”. Particularly 0. The skinnier dudes at least have the advantage of youth in some of them.
Which brings me to another thing I saw… Other than the skinnier dudes, which seem the youngest, everybody else looks about the same bracket (mid 20s-mid 30s). Kind of unfair to cry “women like younger guys!”, when the only skinnier guys look like they’re the youngest. Again, I’ve seen guys from 4-7 that are older (in some cases mid-30s), yet they have a similar slender, cut physique.
BTW, I’m 25 so I see nothing bad about ogling young adults. It’s my age bracket!
I totally agree. I wish more people would see this as taking time to care for yourself rather than an hour a day of being shallow or wasting time. Exercise is a way to take care of your body and mind. You wouldn’t run your car day in and day out without changing the oil, tires, etc. Your car wouldn’t last long. A little prevention now can make your older years possible and more comfortable and there’s nothing shallow about that.
11 is perfect, although I could go for someone even a little thicker than that. Number 1 would be good for cuddling.
11 for lust, 1 for cuddling.
Woo-hoo! Lovers of chunky guys unite! I’m starting to feel like a freak for liking the thickness.
Do you women think that muscular men are made up of some kind of rock-solid, hard, unyielding material that’s impossible to cuddle?
Honestly, I have different answers for “lust” and “cuddle” because of who I’m more likely to be comfortable around. I’m in pretty decent shape, but I don’t have great muscle definition, and have little tummy pooks (little fat mounds on either side of my navel).
#11 is in better shape than me, which means I would likely be intimidated to be naked in front of him. Whether or not he was judging me, I’d be judging myself. I’d rather admire from afar.
#1 is lustworthy but not so defined as to be completely out of my league. I like a man to be built like a man – broad shoulders, nice pecs, and (above all) bigger than me. #1 is all those things, and I could be naked with him without wondering what he must think of my not-completely-flat belly.
1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, or 11.
0 would also work if he had more muscular arms, but they could ALL use a little chest hair.
ETA: I’m not separating lust/cuddle here, IMO you gotta have both.
Except now that I’ve gone back to review my choices, I think #1 and #11 are in fact the same guy. Same shorts, same treasure trail – just maybe flexing in #11 but not #1?
At any rate, I have consistent tastes.
