Perfect male body?

Well, with the changing way men are shown in ads and media (compared to even 20 years ago), I'm curious what everyones opinion of the perfect male body is.

Is it the huge weightlifter? The skinny hairless model? The toned, but not muscular male? Or maybe the undefined sophisticated man? Or is it like the bodies of greek statues?

So, find a picture of what you think the ideal male body is and post it here! I think it would be interesting to see what people think (and be able to actually look at examples).

i go for the tall and lanky guys.

I'm with when_i_fly_and_look_down on this one. Tall, lanky guys are where it's at. I also love long hair and no body hair, think Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue or Sebastian Bach of Skid Row.

For sure.

Is it weird that I find myself attracted to a fairly wide spectrum of types? Usually the things that actually make me want to jump someone are:

-they like me

-they are reasonably fit, but again, I have a pretty wide range; basically excluding only the real extremes (including that scrawny male model, mind you).

-there's a certain vibe, hard to explain, that makes me think they'd be a lot of fun in bed

-they have some feature that I happen to find attractive: eyes, nape of neck, hands, shoulders, whatever; I fixate and fantasize.

I've always said that it's unfair to brand women as attractive or unattractive based solely on their body size, shape, etc. I am now feeling that it's equally unfair to do so to men. Sure, everyone will have certain preferences but in real life, we are turned on by those around us and those people are less than physically perfect. And while my first criterion might seem silly, when someone is into you, that often will make them more attractive TO you as well, assuming your self-esteem is reasonably intact (for those who hate themselves, anyone who likes them is automatically disqualified because of their "obvious low standards").

I know there are lots of other things that come into play (such as personality, habbits, values...and all the other things)... but for this, I only mean the body itself (not even talking about the face or look or those aspects).

Maybe you have a range of things you like... but there is at least one you see as better then others (for example, jabba the hutt probably isnt what you would think of as an ideal male body :P )

 All of that aside.... Teeth. A nice smile is a must for me regardless of any other factors. Does that make me weird? o_O Hm. w/e To each their own. That's the part that matters the most to me. ( Another deal breaker would be someone shorter/smaller than me. Of course... Due to my stats that's a non-issue here.)

Otherwise: TrustWomen nailed it in her post above for me too. :)

Well since all you gals are posting your wish list...here is mine:

Blonde haired, blue eyed, 6' tall, big perky boobs and a great "gymnast" butt!

the ideal male body in its 20s does not spend its weekends chatting about weight loss with a bunch of middle-aged women. more generally, the ideal male body is attached to a head with an interesting, intact brain. if that body is tall and lean and firm, so much the better, but the first priority is that the body exists in the real world. if the brain attached to the body understands irony, knows a little about literature and politics and history (maybe even science!), then the body becomes distinctly more attractive. but ham-hands are a no go.

I'm happy with where I am/where I'm going. Feminine and masculine attributes, strong and compact, versatile. Efficient. Practical.

Oh, and I prefer being short aesthetically.

With me i tend to like toned and broad! nice shoulders and big arms but not all that muscles.. just toned and a flat stomach.. finished off with a sunkissed tan! ...perfection

 

Ok ladies, look no more, I have arrived.

Your search is over.

 I am everything you want.

 There is plenty of me to go around, and if you’re not the sharing type, you’ll be my one and only.

 

 

I find that I am harder on my body than other people. I'll be damed if I put on an inch but then again most men I date tend to have more than an inch to pinch kinda boyish babby fat. Who knows what is ideal.

my boyfriend. 6ft8in. 40in inseam. 40in waist. size 14 shoe. used to be a bouncer. when he walks in a room, someone always says something like dayyyummm. i just love that he is such a big guy, my giant. no innuendo intended...that really turns me on. he could crush me like a little tiny bug. thats so hot.

other than that, i would have to say arnold, from back in the day he worked with weider and did pumping iron and started making conan movies. the man was blessed with amazing genes. i have a flex magazine that did a special on him with a bunch of old poses from way back then. i will never ever get rid of that magazine! he is also so very inspiring and motivational when he talk about what lifting meant to him in his life. thats hot too.

Hugh Jackman!!  He is so versatile in his look.  4 different looks for him.  He looks good scruffy, bulkier and slimmed down

 MINE!  I saw him first.  You may not have him.  Besides, you'll never guess where I hid the key to the closet I lock him in.

I fight dirty so I will WIN!!!

 

He's mine.

Meh. My pet SEALs could kick all these guys' butts. :)

He may not be the perfect body type, but I tend to go for stoner guys.

Tall guys, also. I love skinny, tanned, toned, tall guys.

Just order me up a cup of tall, dark, and handsome and I'll dub that perfection.

Other faves: Johnny Depp, David Beckham..

(Sorry if someone already mentioned this-haven't read through all the replies!) I think that it all depends...I've noticed each generation has different ideas of what's hot. For instance it seems alot of teenagers today are into the whole skinny emo or rocker guy look which I find a huge turn-off *gags thinking about guys in skinny jeans* I personally like naturally big guys...you know, tall with broad shoulders...not bodybuilder types, just naturally big. Also, a bubble butt is a definite plus!!!

*not the face so much, just the body :D

I tend to like the body type of the person I'm with. Right now, it's tall, thin but not too thin, little muscley, long dark hair... Hmm. :)

Of course, I've been with previous boyfriends who go from 6'8'' and thin as a rail to 5'9'' with meat on their bones and been pretty happy. The person behind the body makes the body look good. ^_^
