    I'm attracted to someone with a pulse.

    A pulse is preferred, but all I really need is friction.

    In a way, yes. I'm tall, pale, and very curvy with a cross between pear and hourglass shape (becomes more pear the more I lose weight).

    My ideal body is just a leaner & fitter version of what I already look like, but still rather "soft". I have zero desire to be super thin, tan, possess super-defined muscles, or have a different body shape than I do.

    My ideal guy's body (which is EXACTLY my fiance) is tall, pale (he's a redhead), and a mild version of muscular. My guy has big muscular (but not muscle-man defined) arms and legs, broad chest and a leaner torso with a perfectly flat stomach, but he's still rather "soft" looking despite being built like a lumberjack. I LOVE that, it is exactly what I like.

    Obviously some of the big male/female differences apply, though. He has a small tight rear and I have a huge round one (which I like and so does he). I've got breasts. And so on. But I'd say we're very similar body types as far as being pale, tall/big, etc.

    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.

    Mmmmm......bacon's taco

    That's all nice, but honestly I don't even need the whole man. Just a D*ck-in-the-box type deal.

    Tough to say...

    I'm attracted to personality usually first. I definitely can only be with someone like myself, who is smart, honest, loves life, and optimistic.

    Physically, I've always dated women with curves be if they are petite-body Eva Longoria type or a little fuller such as Salma Hayek type. I'm a pretty big guy 6'3" 210lbs and don't even come close to resembling either one of those.

    Having been big most of my life, I have learned that the outside appearance is just that, an impression of a person that they put forth to the outside world. I have learned to look at more than just the physical because for so long all I had was my personality and what the physical appearance could offer me. While I would prefer someone that takes care of themselves, both healthwise and appearance wise, it is not a deal breaker if they are heavy as long as they have a personality that supersedes that. For the last eight years, I have been with someone that refuses to take care of themselves either way and now that I am taking care of myself better it is a turnoff.

    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.

    not even close.

    my ideal body is flat tummy, muscular arms/legs, and noticeable abs.

    the men that I am (and always have been) attracted to have (1) amazing shoulders, (2) muscles that aren't pronounced (think, football player that hasn't played in a couple years), and (3) a tummy!

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

    Amazing. I prefer extra penis.

    Double the penis, double the fun?

    I want to be about 19 to 20% body fat. I'm most attracted to men around 14% body fat. So I don't want to be "lean" and I like guys a little puffier than "lean".

    Hm - in a way, I guess. While my physical type is someone bigger than myself... I tend to be attracted to men who are in decent physical shape... but not perfect shape. ...and I think my ideal body is somewhere in that range as well... So... yes? But for me attraction is almost always accompanied by a mental stimulus. Its rare I become attracted to someone based solely on their looks. *shrug*

    14% is puffy?

    It's "puffier" than 8%.

    Aesthetically, I think long people are attractive (men and women) - thin and firm, like when you see healthier looking models. My husband is tall and lean, in good shape but definitely slim. Because that is physically not possible for me, my ideal body is way more of a curvy/fit look - but if I could just magically be in someone else's body, it would probably be more like what I am attracted to in a man.

    Eh. Im not really into the whole ripped abs thing. I like people larger than i, but because it makes me feel safe. I have dated skinny and dated fat. I think i was equally attracted to both. it's the person that i fall in love with not the appearance.

    In the sense that my ideal body is one that results from a ton of hard work, yes, that's a reflection of what I'm attracted to. I've learned over the years that what I find attractive is a function of many different things. I've been attracted to guys who were, physically speaking, nothing at all like what I had always imagined by "dream guy" would look like. So there is no singular "look" that I go for.

    But, without question, I am turned on by men who have goals and who work hard in pursuit of them. And I believe a person's body can be, and often is, a manifestation of that. If an Adonis-like physique is a guy's only goal, I'll lose interest quickly. There has to be more to your identity than what you look like (another lesson I've learned from losing 113 lbs). But I understand now how difficult it is to acquire and maintain a lean body (whether that's the end goal or just a side effect of it), and I respect the hell out of people who put in that kind of effort.
