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!

And with good, sharp cheekbones. Goes some way to explaining my love of Benedict Cuberbatch...

papierjam · 18/01/2014 21:21

Oh god yeah, sharp cheekbones, definitely!

headlesslambrini · 18/01/2014 21:25

taller than me but not too tall.
strong arms.
slim-ish
dark haired
dark eyes

why I ended up with DH - blonde, same height, blue eyes ...

jasmineramsden · 18/01/2014 21:33

Muscular and strong. Big arms, hairy but not too hairy, nice bum, big arms, stubble and nice eyes. Not 'pretty boy' but rugged and fit. Sigh .....

FightingOverImaginaryIcecream · 18/01/2014 21:35

Tall and broad shouldered or pretty boys, nothing in between.

jasmineramsden · 18/01/2014 21:35

Oh and a nice big cock ;) haha

mervynmouse · 18/01/2014 21:39

A forearm with rolled up sleeves of a work shirt and a nice watch... I know exactly what you mean! Other than that, shortish, stocky and stubble are all nice to haves. Grin

mervynmouse · 18/01/2014 21:45

Having said that I find loads of different types of men ravishingly attractive these days in a bit of a worrying Harry Enfield's Young Man!/ Kylie on The Voice kind of way Grin Blush

Offred · 18/01/2014 21:49

I have had variations. Usually I like tall, broad shouldered, toned but not big built and very very hairy... Also have had a penchant for gingers and like big hands... So basically an ape....

Sallystyle · 18/01/2014 22:40

Just like my husband Grin

6 foot
Very big chested with broad shoulders
Muscly chunky legs
A bit of meat around the stomach.. no six packs.

DH is huge as he works out a lot but not so huge that you can see all his muscles etc. I love how strong he is and looks.

My ex was tall and very very slim. Tiny built, just like Mr Muscle man.(god bless his soul)

I guess my tastes have changed or you learn to love what you have Grin

PGTip · 19/01/2014 19:02

Mervyn that's a near perfect description of my husband Grin

PGTip · 19/01/2014 19:03

Horatia Grin

Actually right now I am fancying Mr Selfridge ..,but then exp looked like a taller version of him. Mmmmm

ExcuseTypos · 19/01/2014 22:24

Tall, built like a rugby player with BIG hands.

Just like DH. He's 6'2" and I'm 5'2"- I have to stand on the kitchen stairs to give him a good snog. Grin.

Mumtoh · 19/01/2014 22:36

I'm only 5'2 but I love tall men (5'11 minimum). Dark, strong features, well built, muscly not fat. GSOH and kind. Nice bum, no tummy fat at all (my exh was overweight, I have worked hard to look after myself and would like a man who did the same).

Now that doesn't sound like an impossible dream, so where is he hiding?

Mumtoh · 19/01/2014 22:38

Am loving these posts from you who've been together like, FOREVER and still fancy the arse off each other.

Ikeameatballs · 19/01/2014 22:43

Shaven head, chunky but not fat, a bit of body hair, nice big legs and arms.
