Lads, what kind of build do you like in a woman?

As a complement to [url=]this thread

Me neither, and it only takes a few letters difference in the title to make it work. Lads, whatdalike in a woman?

Me, I’m not too particular. Not too hefty–any woman who describes herself as a BBW is probably over the limit–but I don’t expect some ideal of physical perfection, and in fact, I kind of like comfortable amount of flaws. (This way I don’t have to be too concerned about my own less-than-perfect* physical condition.) A good smile is key. Tall is good (pretty much the more the better, though the real amazons are a little intimidating to approach), but short is fine, too. Breasts: not too big; a C-cup is really pushing the limit for me. I love runners/dancers legs; yowza! And while they say blondes have more fun, I think redheads are more fun, but all things being equal I’d pick a brunette.

Ideal? I rather like the earth mother-type: Jane Goodall back in her day, Natasha McElhone, or Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher for you Trekkies). I like the girls who kick arse, too; a nice Diana Rigg of '68 vintage, Michelle Yeoh, or Jennifer Gardner. Not too pretty–Catherine Zeta Jones is just boring to look at after a while–but striking or interesting.

And, it goes without saying, a good personality; for me, that’s reasonably literate, curious about the natural world, and not too outgoing or uptight.

So, what about you?

Hey, what do you want from me? I run 5+ miles several days a week and/or swim and don’t overindulge on snacks…but I like to cook and I enjoy a split of wine or a nip of whisky on a regular basis. I don’t need to look like a freakin’ Greek God.

#1 Most important, enough flesh to cover the bones but no so much as to completely conceal all of them. Overall healthy appearance, but not necessarily a gerbil (too much time on a treadmill).

#2 Kind face. Even a kind person with severe features puts me off, my wife is a complete hag much of the time but her face melts me when she smiles.

#3 Between 5’1" & 5’9" with anatomical bits that complement each other as opposed to one or two stealing all the attention. I mean…I want to be able to maintain eye contact without thinking to myself, “WTF?!” and trying to steal glances for the sake of curiosity.

#4 and the TMI bit: Can attain orgasm through nipple stimulation alone but is of course, open to other means.

I like them a little fat for some reason. Maybe 15-25 lbs heavier than healthy models look (40lbs heavier than supermodels). I really have no granite physical preferences though, I find all types of women attractive. But a somewhat fat woman is always going to be the most attractive one in the room to me.

Shorter than me is welcome, but thats easy since i’m 6’.

Long hair is also good, as is a quick smile from someone who is open and inviting.

Oh yeah, and a good personality and all that crap.

I like curves. I will stop what I’m doing to watch a nice round butt or a pair of shapely legs walk by. In general I guess I like my women a little on the soft side. Rippling muscles don’t really do it for me, but anything from model thin to overweight is right up my alley. Height/weight; hair, skin or eye color are irrelevant to me, they can all be hot. We’re talking about physical here, so I’m not going to try and cover my ass and say all that personality crap. Catherine Zeta-Jones may be a bitch on wheels, but I’d still do her.

As long as everthing is proportionate and curvy, I’m good.

Personality, intellect and character aside… my type:

About my own height or a little shorter, but by no more than a few inches.
Slender. Long legs. Athletic (not just looking). Size 0 or 2. Great teeth/smile. Sexy feet and hands. Full lips. Eyes that shine. Clean shaven in all the right places.

Petite and curvy, but not overly so of either.

A natural smile with a slight overbite always gets me.

I like lots of hair. (On the head, perverts)

A smooth voice.

Inverted nipples and a vagina wider than the Holland Tunnel.

Clean and nice smelling.

One of the above is a joke.

I like an Emma Peel or Bailey Quarters kinda look – slim, yet a bit curvy. Not atrociously skinny.

Hmm. This is excluding the face, I assume because it talks only about build. But a pretty face is a nice thing for me. Most importantly are the eyes though. I love big pretty eyes.

As far as the build is concerned, the most important part for me is the legs and ass. I really like long legs and a nice ass. When a girl gains weight, I’d rather it be in the tummy vs. the legs and ass. Some girls are like that, and that’s not bad to me. I like a little bit of a tummy sometimes, and I think that its pretty sexy.

What really gets me though is a sexy posture. I really like a girl that holds herself well. Especially if she is really nasty in the sack! Breasts are nice, but I’m not a huge stickler on that point. Honestly I’d like something between a B and a C. I am not a huge fan of large breasts. Nice hair is good too. I like thick hair. As for curves? That’s fine as long as the ass and leg requirements are there.

Of course I’m thinking of previous girls I’ve been with. My love of tummies is an acquired taste, so I’m sure I could learn to like other things too.

Like Hugh Grant said, “I like a little gravy with my meat.” Meaning curvy. That skinny stuff is a turn-off big time.

And a tad heavy in the bust.

If woman has short hair she better be petite. And French. That whole “Mom cut” is a major turn-off as well.

36-24-36, but only if she’s 5’3".

Curves. Definitely curves.

On a healthy, active, outdoorsy type frame.

Probably anywhere from 3-10 pounds over her [fashion dictated] ‘ideal’ weight. A little roundness is ok, as long as there’s some muscle under there.
But it’s not as important as a fun personality and a great smile. Not by a long shot.

Speaking solely in terms of appearance, the ideal:

Green eyes
Red hair
Pear-shaped (I have been told that this is an unflattering term, but it pretty well describes things)
Not overly tall, not requiring a step-stool
A face I could happily stare at all day(preferably one not made-up)

There are, of course, those who buck those trends.

The eyes have to get me first.
A sharp mind with dry wit behind those eyes is a good second.
A lady must know how to kiss, in different ways, based upon the situation.
A or DD doesn’t matter-H/W proportion is key.
Don’t take the back seat-I want a woman who is willing to lead.

Build-wise, athletic is a big turn-on for me. Not bodybuilder muscles, but big enough that you can see them flexing as she moves. The kind on a person who regularly plays a sport.

I like breasts that face the ceiling when she’s laying on her back.

Long hair of any color.

Tall women catch my attention, but height isn’t really that important.

I like women who are a little bit on the butch side… short dark hair, dark eyes, small tits, and athletic build. Between 5’6" and 5’10". Any taller than that and I crack my neck trying to kiss her. Any shorter than that, and I’m immediately put off. She needs nice strong shoulders, and most importantly, defined forearms (I have a thing for forearms!).

She has to have kind eyes and a nice smile. MaxBabe has a little elvis-esque smirk that makes my heart melt :slight_smile:
Max.

but…does your girlfriend roll a Honda?
Playin’ workout tapes by Fonda?

Physically speaking, my ideal would be a cute* olive complected brunette (Asian, Persian, Latina, etc) that’s between 5’0" and 5’6" and weighing somewhere around 120 lbs. A quick but quiet smile and dark eyes you can get lost in are also preferred.

*Cute. Not hot, sexy, gorgeous, or whatever. Cute. I love girls next door.

I don’t really have a specific type. I like a nice face with an easy smile. I love the right set of eyes. It’s hard to narrow down to a specific build. I likes what I likes and I don’t know if I likes it unless I sees it.

They have to have a good neck and shoulders. Something about a good line there. :eek: Good famous examples would be Audrey Hepburn, Angelina Jolie, or Jennifer Love Hewitt.

I like 'em built like ball-room dancers, and some ice skaters, solid like Tonya Harding or Oksana Baiul, a little fleshy, but in-shape.

A little like Robert Crumb likes 'em.

That Mikalah girl on “American Idol” is built like that, but if they’re built like that when they’re 16, look out brother.

I think the sexiest public person is Serena Williams. Black women pull off “my” look more often – and better – than white women. They seem to be able to pull off “big” without looking flabby.

Someone I find completely unattractive is Nicole Kidman, although that was a little erotic when that sailor was swabbing her deck in Eyes Wide Shut.
