Is your ideal body a reflection of what you're attracted to?

Options
So, for example, lets say your ideal body for yourself was skinny and straight up-and-down, is that what you're attracted to in women/men? Or do you like the polar opposite?
Or are you all just pining over me? Cause that's totally natural.

    I am fairly slim and very fair and I DO like darker men who are huskier... like my fiancée :) So I guess I go for opposite!
    I like him to be fit but a little muscular.

    Ah see, that's what I mean! I find it's more usual to see people with physically different (not necessarily polar opposites) together, rather than body builders with body builders, or model-thin women with skinny men, etc.

    I would not want a man as thin as I am, he needs to be bigger than me and be fit

    Well, I have an hourglass figure. My ideal body is much thinner, but still curvy because, well, I don't have a choice.

    I have never met a man with an hourglass figure and I don't think I would find that attractive.

    What I want for myself is not what I'd want to see on my man. I am tall and not "skinny', and I've rarely had a chance to feel 'little' therefore my guy must be bigger than me. However, what I want for myself is what I find attractive in other females!
    But I'm not cut and dry either - my likes and dislikes vary.

    I'd say my attraction is towards a guy who is somewhat fit and/or takes care of themselves, but not always. Case in point, the last guy I dated is 300+ pounds. It really all depends for me.

    ETA: I work out for me, because I like what it does for how I look and feel.

    I'm on the shorter side of the average female height, but I like tall men... and I like for them to be healthy. I love a muscular body (I have a great appreciation for the work it takes to get there), but he doesn't have to be buff.

    I'm working my way towards healthy again, so it would be nice to be with someone along the same lines..... Or even someone that is already there and appreciates the work I'm putting in and will help me along my journey :wink:

    I like a guy the same size or a little larger.

    I would rather go for a huskier dude than a skinny one.

    I'm attracted to Bacon's taco. And IronCakes' quads.

    ETA: Bacon's taco as in the one in her profile pic. It's a taco made of bacon and filled with meat and cheese.

    Ideally, I'd like to be much thinner but still keep my curves.

    In terms of men, ideally into big, muscular guys who pack on the muscle (vin diesel style). If not, definitely huskier guys. The skinner 2% bodyfat guys don't do it for me.

    ETA: So for me it doesn't seem my goal is a reflection of what I like.

    I've never really had a type for men. We're talking aesthetics, so.. usually it has to do with that they have some interesting facial features. I don't really care so much about body. But I guess I do LIKE taller-than-me, broad-shouldered men. Which is something I find attractive in women, but will never be able to achieve... *tear*

    *edited because 'men of the opposite sex' IS NOT WHAT I MEANT AT ALL

    No, the ones I'm attracted too have a lot less penis.

    Given the options available, "pining" is my official response.
