One of my favorite things in a man is upper body strength. Large, firm biceps and defined pectorals make me swoon. Dark hair and furriness also help. And strong hands are so incredibly sexy.
I’ve noticed that I have a definite slant towards Jewish guys.
I don’t know, but I’m a guy who has a long torso and short legs and I’d kind of like to know myself.
My mom and two sisters are also long-waisted short-legged people. Actually, so is my dad, it’s just less obvious since he developed a belly.
I’m not sure there is a specific body-type that I’m most attracted to. There are body types I may be more attracted to, but I don’t believe there is one that stands out from the others.
I was once asked by a co-worker (who I think had a crush on me) what my type of woman was.
“Well, my type of woman is the type who says ‘yes’,” I replied.

What makes you think that short stature = reaching sexual maturity relatively early? Speaking strictly anecdotally, that was not the case for me, at all. I was a late bloomer. I just happened to be really short when it happened.
Interesting … I’m 154 cm (5’1/2’’) and I’ve been a C-cup since I was twelve. Maybe this explains it. So guys are attracted to small, curvy girls, are they?
When it comes to guys, there isn’t a specific body type I’m attracted to. I’m more interested in what they look like above the shoulders. I like dark hair, dark eyes and soft looking skin. If a guy has that I’ll probably find him hot whatever his body looks like.
Relatively tall, athletic build, “natural” face.
Examples here, here, here.

All these men who like short women make me sad. I’m 5’8" and I can’t help it. Until lately, though (because I’m older, I suppose), I never had trouble getting a date or a husband.
Anyway–I like men who are taller than me–at least 5’10" so I can wear heels and not feel like a hulk–and have a little paunch. Slimmer, athletic men are pretty to look at, but they don’t turn me on. I like a man who is bigger than me (I have an hourglass figure) and who can wrap me in his arms and make me feel safe but who doesn’t have big, obvious muscles–that’s gross. The thing is, I have never, ever dated a man who is built like this. My first husband was my height and very athletic/muscular, and my second husband was 6’1" and extremely, to the point of aneroxic, thin. But I have always wanted a tallish, bearish man with a paunch and a great smile.
Where is he?
Eh, I’m sure you know that people’s opinions are just their own and lots of people don’t share them…I was reading an article a couple weeks ago where a woman who is a matchmaker earnestly explained that we red haired girls are at a disadvantage because only Irish Catholic guys like us. :dubious:
Obviously there are outliers, but more generally hormones associated with the onset of menstruation halt epiphysis (the lengthening of bone). All other things being equal, females who reach sexual maturity later tend to be taller since they are able to grow for longer. The youngest onset of menstruation within a sample population, c. 12 years 6 months for the UK, occurs in females with a height 2 s.d. below the mean, or 1.49 m. However, this relationship is U-shaped so at extremes of shortness (or height), and menstruation becomes later due to developmental pathology.
Some of these selection pressures may be relaxed given the current living conditions, though evidentially they remain vestigial.
It’s also interesting to note that whilst some heterosexual females here express a preference for a certain level of musculature, they stop short of extreme ‘alpha male’ physiques. This is probably in no small part due to the competing interest in male genetic fitness and competitiveness, but balanced against the perceived likelihood of longer-term relationship satisfaction, emotional intelligence and sexual competence, indicated by more androgynous phenotypes (Safir et al. 1982; Green and Kenrick 1994).
ETA:
Yeah, she was talking nonsense. Christina Hendricks. No man in their right mind wouldn’t want to do the horizontal monster-mash with her. Hubba hubba.
My last girlfriend was 5’ 10" and barely shorter than I at 5’ 11 1/2. There are lots of factors in picking a mate/date.
I found him first. 
I’m 5’10" and while I’ve always loved being tall, I’ve also always wanted a guy who can still make me feel like a girl, just as you said…bigger than you, capable of giving you that “sheltered” feeling, without being some kind of gym-loving musclebound guy. I just don’t find that attractive and never have.
Imagine my joy when I found my SO; 6’2", great legs, pudgy (and in my mind, squeezable) waist, boyish face, blue eyes and short dark hair. When I wear heels he’s still taller than me, and even though I’m obviously not a small girl, he can pick me up above his head.
I had never dated a guy prior to him who “fit” physically the way he does; I didn’t realize I had a type til I found it.
And there’s more truth there than I think most people are willing to 'fess up to; we all have these imaginary types, but for a lot of us, our type ends up being whoever we fell in love with, regardless of if they fit our prior imaginary profile…my SO says that he’s always liked my “type” (tall, slender, blondish hair, C boobs etc.) but I’ve met several of his exes and they were all short, round, brunette types with a cuddly kind of appeal.
Polar opposite of me. And yet now I’m his type. 
I live in Las Vegas. 
6’4" 210# ya know
If I see a woman who’s a Size 8 through 14 with wide hips and a terrific ass, who sways those hips as she walks, I go absolutely weak at the knees. Especially if she’s wearing nail polish in an unusual color like green, blue or silver.
Thin, petite, small boobs. Any woman you have within those parameters, send her over.
BTW, I’m way thinner than any of the pics that have been posted here purporting to be of “thin men”.
Lack of fat.
Fat - or lack of - is the first thing I notice about a woman. Nothing turns me off more than globs of fat hanging off a woman. Everything else body-wise is a distance second.
I tend to like long legs, but still somewhat short in stature. But, most of all, you have to have a pretty face.
Like someone above mentioned, lack of secondary sex characteristics is a positive for me, though my interest isn’t so much androgenous adults as it is prepubescent girls.
As for body type within that group, I’ve got a rather wide range, though my preference for a generally low level of body fat stems more from the fact that high levels of body fat tend to push puberty sooner than anything else.
Men with strong legs, smooth strong forearms, and dexterous fingers.
Average height to tall, proportion of torso to legs doesn’t matter. Would prefer broad-ish shoulders/chest, and able to see his toes, but can be anywhere from my size (medium (sometimes small!) shirts, 32-34 pants, etc) to a daddy with a bit of a belly. Muscles are fun to look at but I’ve never really played with them.
And furry! :
Also, ETA: I really like looking at asses, but I prefer them middling, rather than my big bubble butt, or the Hank Hill, needs implants look. And legs are hot too, especially furry calves. Mmmm.
