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.

rate-ecto.jpg
-- 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

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

rate-endo.jpg
-- 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.

    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.

    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.

    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 hell

    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.

    You know, it kinda makes you look less of a beast when you say you are a beast. Just sayin

    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.

    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:

    My husband is an ecto. I'm constantly telling him to eat something that will put on some weight lol. just a little would be nice. I like the bigger guys as well but don't want someone who can crush me lol.
