Does SIZE Matter?

Not that "size," ya perv....
In honor of Magic Mike Mondays (which pains me to type that btw), I'm talking about body-types... specifically male ectomorphic, mesomorph and endomorph body types.
Virtually all males (and females for that matter) fall into, or between, the following body-types. Below you will find pictures and descriptions of the three (3) main body-type classifications. Vote on which group you find the most awesome and/or attractive, followed by a brief description of why you find it most endearing.
Note for dudes: As to not offend anyone's manliness, you don't necessarily need to vote on what you find "attractive." You may wish to opine on your particular body-type, and why you're so astronomically awesome.

-- Thin, light build
-- Lean muscle mass
-- Small “delicate” frame and bone structure
-- Classic “hardgainer”
-- Flat chest
-- Small shoulders
-- Finds it hard to gain weight
-- Fast metabolism

-- Athletic, moderate build
-- Defined muscle mass
-- Rectangular shaped body
-- Strong
-- Gains muscle easily
-- Gains fat more easily than ectomorphs

-- Beefy, thick build
-- Gains muscle and fat very easily
-- Large physique
-- Finds it hard to lose fat
-- Slower metabolism
-- Muscles not as well defined as Meso's
Happy Monday.
Keep being awesome.

I would have to go with Meso, although my husband is definitely Ecto.
Meso is just hotter, you can feel save in those meaty armsHAHA

Endo, all the way...just makes my heart go all aflutter0

I personally find the Meso to be the sexiest. I like 'em thin but not too thin. Huge muscles are a turn-off for me, but that's just my personal preference.0

In regards to this....I like Beer0

I'd just want him to be proportionate to me! I don't want to feel like giant, or feel like he could squash me.0

I'll have to think about this....while perusing these photos...
perhaps for a very very long time...
i'll get back to you when i'm done...0 -
I'm a huge fan of big endo guys that are fit. They are big and strong, and I love big strong men. I'm not so into the lean chiseled look, but most of my friends are.
I always thought The Rock was sexy as hell0 -

I can not choose. I will just sit back and enjoy them all. Every. Single. One. :drinker:0

Meso to Endo (somewhere in between is perfect) - I don't care fot the thin builds personally - i want something to hold on to, and feel like I'm not going to break him.0

Ecto# 1
Meso #2
Endo #10 -

Ha. what does a beer belly fall under? I love a guy thats heavier in the tummy!0
-
I like a guy that takes care of his health, so all of these dudes are appealing to me! My husband is undoubtedly an ectomorph.0
-
I definitely am most attracted to Ectos!!! I usually go for the skinny, artist/musician hipster pretty boys--the nerdy cute type. Although I have recently discovered that it is kinda fun to be tossed around by a big strong guy. :laugh:0
