    Personally, I prefer leaner and toned. Big muscles have never really appealed to me.

    OP - They probably mean ottermode when they say lean and toned, not hungry skeleton.

    I've dated from super skinny to heavy lifter to fat. I prefer bigger guys, but a great personality trumps the physical.

    Well here's to hoping most like the leaner toned.... Since I'm moving that way being a runner. I'm not a big burly guy.

    Ryan Reynolds body............perfection. His face isn't bad either;) I have never liked too many muscles not to offend but there gets a to be a point where you can't put your arms down by your sides and you forever look like you're walking with something stuck between your cheeks. Joe Manganiello or whatever his name is is about as big as I think I would like. Just my humble opinion though

    My husband is a bit slimmer yet than this, but with a similar body fat. Well, until the last two bouts of illness. I did comment a few weeks ago that his biceps were looking mighty chiseled and he complained about losing weight.

    A great attitude and an easy laugh are the most important. My hubby and I aren't always in 'healthy mode' at the same time but that's okay. I love him whether he is round and fluffy or a little more on the buff side.

    I would not kick that man out of bed, even for eating cookies!

    I think figured men are way more attractive. my theory is, why would you want a six pack when you can have the whole keg? I guess I'm a bit of a glutton, lol

    I think that's a bit like asking a man if he likes breasts or butts, or thin vs athletic vs curvy vs [insert body type here] women. He may have a preference, but he could easily have the hots for someone who has a different body type from his ideal.

    I ended up married to a guy who was my ideal of bigger and more muscular. But... before him I dated all kinds, and I still find all kinds attractive. He just happened to be my match in personality and heart.
