I've always liked mine lean and muscular, like a swimmer. Which is a shame because I've only ever been with one guy who was ripped with a 6-pack and that was when I was in high school! Don't think it'll ever happen now, though, unless I get can DP to the gym!

I also have a thing for broad shoulders! Like the cartoonish V-shape of wide shoulders and a slim waist, yum!

I quite like the smell of a man who has been working hard.

So not just you!

I love a beer belly, so good for snuggling!

FreddieStarrAteMyHamster · 17/01/2014 13:30

Bear like- big and hairy. Nice big forearms like a docker.

Love how women have such different tastes. Doubt you would get as much variety if you asked 50 blokes.

HoratiaDrelincourt · 17/01/2014 13:49

Apart from one anomaly all my exes, crushes and DH are white, tall, dark hair, blue eyes, broad shoulders, muscly legs.

Hmm. He's due home any minute. Can a 2yo babysit a baby...?

Stinkystinkypoopoohead · 17/01/2014 13:58

Massive rugby type men with dark hair and eyes for me, oh and if if he could be over 6'4 all the better ( looking up and a man makes me swoon Blush)

But am extremely happy with my 5'8 blond haired, blue eyed old man thank you very much Smile

Cleorapter · 17/01/2014 14:04

Tall, slim, and quite effeminate if I'm really honest Hmm

Though I do like big arms.

My DP is non of the above however, when I first met him he was very slim, but my cooking put a stop to that. Blush

WallyBantersJunkBox · 17/01/2014 14:14

Chunky broad solid men, same height or taller. I like chunky legs, can't deal with skinny ones. Rugby player build definitely.

Oh and hands like shovels. I have a slight male friend and he has slender, cold pale hands on the ends of really hairy thin arms. Freaks me out completely.

DH is a solid mass. He is constructed of dark matter, because even though he is 15 stone, he is impossible to move off the sofa.

I could never be with someone whose clothes were smaller than mine. Blush

WallyBantersJunkBox · 17/01/2014 14:16

Never realized there was so much lust for the Hairy Bikers btw.

TheGinLushMinion · 17/01/2014 14:39

Well built, broad shoulders & a nice chest do it for me-along with a tight bum & large thighs.

Slim/skinny just yuk.

Buffy, pandemic is an extreme form of epidemic. Epidemic is a relative term used to describe when something worsens from a previous level. A pandemic of violence would suggest that violence against women is worsening.

Woops, wrong thread!

Strong and skinny. Broad shoulders, strong arms, a shit tattoo or 2, long slender fingers. Taller than me. Full mouth, high cheekbones.
This is basically DP but has always been my type. Except when I'm ovulating I often lust after big burly bears.

thecatneuterer · 17/01/2014 15:50

I like a dancer's body - slender but sculpted. Also a bit effeminate or even nerdy is a plus. And I don't care about height. Shorter than me (and I'm only average height) is fine. Oh and pretty, almost girly faces ...

MoominsYonisAreScary · 17/01/2014 16:00

Tall, well built and hairy. Exh was the opposit though. Oh and lve an irish accent, really turns me on

MoominsYonisAreScary · 17/01/2014 16:01

Love an irish accent that should be

Hedgehead · 17/01/2014 16:09

Chunky, dark, stubble, nice eyes

BornOfFrustration · 17/01/2014 16:38

Tall, dark and skinny and hairy.

Oblomov · 17/01/2014 17:18

I like big bear men. Prefer them overweight to skinny.

Oblomov · 17/01/2014 17:19

Actually . Truth is, I like them fat.

Thants · 17/01/2014 17:21

I have fancied skinny men, musclier men, big men, tall men and short men. Once I meet someone and get to know them if we click I start finding then very attractive.

BigBoPeep · 17/01/2014 17:41

Lean is fine, but not starvation thin, likewise chunky is fine but not rolls of fat and obesity. 5ft8+ is a good thing, hair colour unimportant. Intelligence and sense of humour essential.

Actively dislike 'ripped' muscly guys.

LittleMissRedSparklyBaubles · 17/01/2014 17:45

Slim built. Nice cheekbones, full lips. Not lots of body hair. DH fits the bill very nicely. (though I do feel like a bit of a heffalump beside him sometimes)

Pinkbutterfly31 · 17/01/2014 18:16

Just like my DP! Tall, broad, rugby players thighs, big strong hands...gorgeous!

FolkGirl · 17/01/2014 19:14

Nice forearms and hands.

I've realised I'm pretty flexible on the rest of it.

maparole · 17/01/2014 19:54

Strong-looking, solid, even fat (but not blubbery) and taller than me, broad hands, dark eyes, dark to black skin, Scottish accent.
