    I honestly don't really care... but yeah over 25% fat it turns me off.

    I prefer just normal, some muscle but definitely not "cut" John Cusack and Jim from the office are my type.

    You mean lanky then, lol

    My goal was a certain weight, and once I reached that weight, to cut down to a certain body fat. byoodj2jes9r.jpg
    ^^^^^^^^^^
    I reached my weight goals and was rolling around at 25% bodyfat.
    Below is me at 15% body fat and again, 185 pounds.
    I like this look and feel. If I cut any lower, I lose energy and pep, so this is it.

    Below is my progress compared to my younger self. Oh, by the way...I no longer need the head band to control my hair on windy days. :o

    Tall, rangy skateboarder-y guys, or big built-like-a-refrigerator guys (think Opie from Sons of Anarchy). My taste in guys is a little atypical, obviously.

    all sorts of different body types are attractive to me. Someone that takes care of themselves is probably the most important part at the moment.

    Congrats dude. I would like to keep myself up like that at 50! 15% body fat is great. It seems like you are a meso-endomorph like myself. Which means we gotta focus on cardio and strength training equally to balance out. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks, it took 5 years of work. Every ounce of effort was worth it.

    It's my hope to inspire others - not annoy folks.
    One of my biggest sources of motivation on my long, hard journey was seeing others succeed.
    Maybe now I can help some people as I continue my own progress.

    For myself, I prefer to be pretty darn lean, muscular, fit, cut, all of the above. I don't need to be huge and ripped, but having muscle definition and a pretty low BF% is good for my confidence. Well, I assume it will be.

    Personally my goal is to just get to a "normal" BMI which I am now one pound away from. But I still feel and look fat when I look in the mirror. I will probably aim for at least 10 more. I am not attracted to super thin men. I also would not go for a body builder type. I am most attracted to average size I guess.

    i've always liked skinny men myself. but honestly when i was single i wouldn't let a man's shape or size influence me, since my preference is for guys who i have lots of stuff in common with and who i get along with well.

    Maybe I'm old school, but I don't find "husky" offensive. I am not going to date someone because he is lean or ripped or tall or whatever. If a guy is comfortable with who he is, and is kind and fun to be with, that is enough. I have to admit however, that I have always gone for the teddy bear type though. Just get to a healthy place, find your comfortable self, and when you find the right girl, she will look beyond physique, and see your soul.

    I'm not into very lean, cut "ripped"men. I prefer a guy with a healthy body but doesn't necessarily mean lots of bulky muscle. Just average joe if that makes sense? haha

    This type (Paul Rudd) If not slightly bigger is fine :)

    Ideally? Visually I like muscular, but not overly vascular. Think Michelangelo's David. In reality, I'm just not physically attracted to guys until I get to know and like them. Then the rest might follow. Or, not. I can have an aesthetic appreciation, but that's as far as it goes.

    There's no such thing.

    No you don't.

    I don't like flab on guys at all. I like slim athletic guys. I don't go for the bulky bodies that come out of the gym either. I wouldn't want a boyfriend who spent a lot of time at the gym. I consider it a fairly stupid pursuit.

    If a guy is going to be fit, which is ideal, then i'd like it if he got that way by doing something interesting like rock climbing, kayaking, sailing, marathoning, bushwalking, tennis, yoga. You name it, pretty much anything but body building.

    That's just your ignorance talking.

    As a woman, I am not keen on the jacked look because

    1. My own self-esteem would never let me go out with someone who looks like a Greek god because I'm kind of a scruffy little dork.
    2. If a chap spends so much time in the gym to get looking that jacked, odds are we won't have anything in common (had this proven to me many times over with random conversations in bars. Sorry, if I have to explain my one-liners or a pun to you then really not keen)

    My husband is tall and got an athletic build, not "cut", but just clearly in shape...I guess physically in the body, he's around Tom Hiddleston. I really like it, but I have been out with guys in the past who have been overweight or super buff or normal. To me, it doesn't matter too much. Being taller than me and having a proper goofy grin are more important than body, tbh.
