The Ideal Guy Body Type
It is once again time for us to decide what is the ideal body type. We will start with the guys. It is always interesting what women pick as the ideal. Do don’t judge their face. Judge the body.
1. Thin
2. Thin but toned
3. Muscular
4. Bodybuilder
5. Built
6. Chubby
7. Obese
Which body type do you find most attractive?

Dan. How DARE you represent my ideal body type in a man with Taylor Lautner?!?!
Numero uno.
For some reason thin guys are so soft. lol.Not too thin. That guy in the picture is awesome though.
Thin but toned looks appealing, but the nicest guy I ever dated was chubby.
thin, or thin but toned
haha!! 1.Thin! Is my choice! =]
None of em.
let’s compare how many people post angry comments here, compared to how many people post angry comments on an article about FEMALE body types!
#2 or #3….YUMMY
thin but toned. basically the body type my boyfriend has
lucky me
Muscular/ built… or maybe even toned. I just am not attracted to muscle builders/chubbsters.
I’m not even sure my ideal body type is on here. lol Most guys I’ve liked aren’t exactly chubby, but they’re not thin. Somewhere in between.
2 or 3. I like my guys to have muscles, but I dont want them having to spend multiple hours in the gym every day to get them.
A little thinner than the thin picture.
number one looks good
or thin but only a LIL BIT toned. Number 4 is creepy
thin but toned / muscular
muscular/built! and I think ur chubby pic….calling him chubby is being nice!
3 and 5 are pretty close to even, but in this example 5 is the yummiest.
mmm number five, come to mama.
actually, though, i never really thought about it. just as long as they’re not much thinner than me?
Thin but toned, def!!!!
Somewhere between 2 and 3.
I would probably say thin but toned! Yumm…
2.
I like them tall though. That’s the best.
Built or muscular. But my current is thin haha. Actually na probably not even muscular, more built :drool
@wonderland7386 - haha agreed, he looks just plain fat to me!
Uhm, none of these really did it for me.
I’d like one built or toned, but so far it’s been skinny or average (your chubby is what I’d call fat)…
that werewolf guy from twilight made me LOL so hard. bahahhahaahhahahahaha
how about “average?” not stick thin, not necessarily muscular, and not fat. somewhere in between.
also, why is that thin guy smoking in the shower? what if his cigarette gets put out from the water? what?
Chubby, it’s a cuddle factor, but I love me the big dudes.
muscular.
1-3. Ehhhhhhhh.
Ideally #5.
However, I when I was single, tended to pursue types #2 and #6.
do one on female body types! pleaaaaaaase!
all the thin/muscular ones look pretty much the same.
The fat ones look the same.
Where are the average ones..?
Number 2.
Muscular
deannnnn <3
thin but toned.
and whats the difference between the chubby and obese? the chubby guy looks obese.
obviously the formers and not the latter!
but i actually have a problem with extremely skinny, it makes me feel masculine.
3-Muscular or 5-Built fosho!
2 I guess. But I really do notice face and hair a lot more than body, unless they’re morbidly obese or something.
And I love how your “chubby” guy is way more than chubby.
1
muscular or chubby
weird combo
thin, nom
The only body type that grosses me out is the body builder. All those bulging veins… ew.
@Peachass - gahh, sooo true.
2. Tall helps too.
5 made me drool but i couldn’t be with a guy like that cuz he’d make me feel bad about myself. sooooo 1, 2 or 3. my last boyfriend was a 1….or less than a 1 haha
Thin and toned.
I usually prefer thin, but “built” is nice to look at.
Thin but Muscular. I date an ex-lacrosse player, so he’s thin, but he’s got a lot of muscle. He can lift me (and I think I’m fat), and has an 8 pack. Also, soccer player bodies (i.e. Carlos Bocanegra) are amazing…. So yes, thin, but muscular.
guys work so hard to reach #5…I don’t think I can ever become that…
Ever heard of middle of the row?
Ah, fuck.
Anything but morbidly obese and bodybuilder. Two ends of the spectrum that I don’t care too much for. I’ll take anything in between though
thin but toned
Even though I’m not a woman I’m gonna give my opinion anyway despite the heterosexist attitude. I prefer anything between thin and chubby(not the chubby you pictured because that is not chubby that’s just fat)
1…2..or 3 lol all of those work well :] all the other ones make me want to puke.
I care about the person.
Thin. I’m not really turned on by any muscular attribute.
Chubby and obese looks the same here, no?
I like Chubby but muscular.
I think that I would have to say my ideal guy body type is not on here. I like my man to have some meat on his bones, and I’m definitely not the type of girl that goes for the muscles. I guess I would have to say that my guy would be somewhere between the thin and the chubby…
1 is my ideal but omg at the built body. That’s hot.
my ex were all usually the teddy bear type of guys. i like ‘em soft and big [[ but not like the last two pictures, there is no differences between those two ]] however i do love number 2 for the look of it. Oh. yum. i like my guys like Kevin James now he is hot.
#2 Jensen Ackles from the Supernatural tv show. he is so dreamy
I also like #1-a jude law type of thin body.
You seem to have forgotten “normal”.
Toned, but not thin.
Thin but toned
I’m gunna be the lame one and say my boyfriend’s! hahaha
because I think I answered “mine” for “sexiest female body type” anyway ahaha
the thin picture is thin but toned.. i wish i was like 2 and not 1:( should work out!
im not a female but i dont care
#’s 2,3 &5 all the way
I wouldn’t call the first picture “thin”
Any of them are fine except “bodybuilder” and “obese”.
Admittedly, “thin” is most attractive. But I’m not holding out for that, and I’m not thin enough myself to expect a guy like to take interest in me.
Obese. I love obese guys, there’s more to love
.
(rofl rofl)
I have #2 body and I want to be like #5 body
The chubby and obese ones look almost identical…
It honestly looks like you picked two body types – muscular with 0% body fat or severely overweight. I personally don’t men attractive regardless, but I don’t like the way this was set up.
I think I find thin people attractive.. it makes them seem fragile and I’ll want to care for them XD
but toned guys are nice too.
I guess the guy in the thin picture. His body type reminds me of my husband and I loooove my husband’s body type. ^_^
I’m not terribly picky though. A guy’s body isn’t the first thing that attracts me to him. At least, it wasn’t when I was in high school and not with my husband. Like I said, my husband’s body is DEFINITELY attractive to me, but it wasn’t the first thing I noticed. Hehe, that came a little later….
~V
Chubby is cute. Chubby keeps me warm and loves me, etc <3 I’d take a cute, kind of chubby guy than built or thin any day
@saintvi - Hehe, agreed. It’s so unnatural looking to me. Like the muscles are going to split the skin any second and then he’ll look just like the muscle descriptions in my 9th grade health book. *shudders*
2 or 3
5, 3, 2. in that order. Men should have at least some muscle. Skinny over there isn’t gonna move your piano for you.
thin but toned, or muscular.
I don’t find any of these too attractive.
Ah…. thin but toned, like my boyfriend…
3 or 5. but definitely not 4. the first two are nice, too, but we’re talking ideal here.
1 and 2.
I’m cheering for chubby… gotta look after my own.
Anything but 4, 6, & 7. I think it’s a bit shallow to go by body type exclusively when measuring attractiveness; however, most of us women appreciate when our guys at least make a decent effort to stay away from the chubby/obese side. (Just like they appreciate it when we do)
4 is just grotesque, period. It looks inhuman and scary, not to mention horribly artificial.
Numbah Five!
Since this is only asking about what body type I’d find attractive, irrespective of everything else, #2 or #3.
But in reality, everything else is pretty much more important. (Like personality)
I like the first and second one. yum
woaah omg the forst and the second one is so delicious
P
but I would say thin is not the first one…I mean thin is obviously thinner and I don’t like that. But the first one is nice
Attraction is far more than appearance for me. A great looking guy, a “10″, can quickly fall to a “5″ or lower on the attractive scale when they start to talk and reveal their personality. Likewise a moderately good looking guy, a “7″ can quickly rise to a “10″ with his intellect and wit.
I appreciate when someone takes their health seriously. That’s attractive to me and most guys that are health conscious wouldn’t look like #4, #6 or #7. Number 2 could be a body double for my husband so, on looks alone, I’ll go with #2.
JENSEN ACKLES….. <3!
5 … any day
thin but toned
i love skinny guys like pharrell
thin or thin but toned i guess.
i’d say 2,3,5 can’t descude
Dx
oh i forgot built too. so muscular, built, and chubby
3 and 5…. mm..hmm…
@flyfox65 - hahahaha i laughed because it’s so true
Chubby. I don’t like ripped guys.
I’m not for appearances, but, aesthetically, toned is always more attractive to me.
my husband is thin but toned. ^_^
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s body would do fine
or just him!
Muscular beach boys define the term yummy “hunk”. The other body types are just pretenders or losers!
I like how you told us not to look at their faces, and then the chubby and obese guys don’t even have faces. They could have really charming smiles, for all I know.
i like kind of chubby. probably because i am haha. i dated a super skinny guy once and it was weird lol. he was too too thin.
thin but toned is the nicest looking, but i wouldnt mind too much if my guy were a bit chubby. all that means is softer hugs and more to love.
super thin makes me sad and giant muscles scare me. lol
muscular or built <3
Inbetween 1 and 2. Thin but toned-ish
@CrazyKey123 - Ditto. Tall men make me drool.
Muscular…but not him!
I’d like to point out the “Duuuhhhh…” look on the guy in the #3 panel, made me chuckle a little bit. XD
My type of guy isn’t listed here. They’re often a liiiitle chubby but have broad shoulders and are super cuddly. They look kind of football-ish I guess.
*edit*
Oh, yeah: and tall!
built/toned. but then again i don’t like guys with alot of muscle. i usually like muslce more in the arms than anywhere else.
1, 2 and 3
the chubby guy looks obese to me. but i like thin! or thin&toned
thin/toned/muscular, who cares, i honestly think its the personality and how ur treated that matters SO much more. Don’t mean to be cheesy haha. I will say that the “skinny/toned”, athletic and muscular are all good ones cause it reflects good health
probably thin or thin but toned.
You’re missing the sorta between chubby and athletic
muscular! I love how Taylor Lautner has that bit of fat around his muscles. He’s not thin, but he’s got a healthy squishiness to him.
I love them squishy.
this is stupid why does everyone feel like anyone cares as long as u kno what u like and some of ur girlfriends maybe….but strangers..eh?
Number 1 and Number 2, cuz then I can fill them up with my cooking lol! Number 3 also, but totally agree with RockstarJuiceNStarburst message lol.
the first picture… ohmylord. that guy is freakin hott.
thin but toned aint bad either
in between 1 and 2 and 3 : )
5 is the best omg <3
2 – end of the story
#1 & #2 are attractive to me; but I tend to attract #3 guys…
Did you know… I once read that extreme bodybuilders are compensating for ED (erectile dysfunction);
dunno if it’s true, I’ve never slept with that kind of guy lol
The first one.
Yes, I am bit biased because my man is about the same body type as the guy in the picture.He’s military so PT keeps him fit.He is fineeeeeee.;)
I don’t really care for any of those guys. I dated a super skinny guy once and when we had sex his hipbones dug painfully into my thighs. That was not cute. I guess I usually date thin toned guys but the man I am with right now is 6′ 180-190 pounds and just his general structure is that of a big man. Not fat just big. Like big wrists, big butt, big arms…kindof intimidating I guess. I like that the most. He’s got muscle but fat too. He’s perfect as far as I am concerned.
Thin but toned.
I would say Muscular but … Taylor Lautner … no. Just no.
I’m into two guys right now, one is thin one is chubby…hahhaa I guess it really doesn’t matter for me. I usually like thin, tall, awkward guys though.
Actually, the only guy who can get my oil runnin’ right now has a belly and more body hair than he knows what to do with.
LOVE it.
I’m sad there was no option between lean/muscular and fat, really. I like a guy who is fit, but not ripped… but maybe don’t mind the TEENSIEST amount of belly. Also 1 and 2 look very similar to me. I don’t think I’d pick any of these. 1-3 and 5 are good looking, though.
Thin =] But other body types can be okay too.
built!
number 2 plz!
I loooovvvvvvvve chubby-obese men!!(but they also have to be like 6′ or taller)…my b/f is 6’2″ and 300+lbs and I think he’s incredibly sexy!!I’ve always preferred bigger men…don’t know why exactly…but I am a proud (what most people call) “chubby chaser”
Obese pl0x XD
I think if a guy needs to smoke so often that he even smokes in the shower, his body is about to say “f*** you” and quit. I don’t mind guys that smoke, but my ideal men type are guys that don’t make me think they’re about to die. (I also prefer guys that don’t look like beefy aliens inhabiting a human’s skin… like #4 there…)
I’m not really attracted to an of these, but I actively dislike 1 and 4.
basically all of those except for bodybuilder or chubby/obese.
1, 2, 3…
All the others would have bigger boobs than me. hah~
thin but not too thin, a bit of muscle tone, tall.
I like muscular, thin but toned, and thin. I like a man that can keep it just as hot as ME!
2,3,5 and 6. I’m not that fussy.
muscularrrr
uhhhhh.
4, 6 , and 7 are a FUCK NO.
But the rest are ok. I’m not that picky. xD HAHA
Based on these pictures… I’d say 5.
But my SO is a 1-2 with a chubby stomach. SOOO. Maybe that’s what I really like.
2&3. 5 just intimidates me and puts me to shame
i like muscular with a little meat on them.
obese and chubby look exactly the same. you are always pretty terrible at picking out body type pictures, no offense.
1. thin
i like my boys lanky
definitely 1! i don’t like guys to be muscular because i’m kind of dominant
between “thin” and “thin but toned”. if he’s in too good of shape, he won’t like me, because i’m kind of fat.
number 5
I’d say it depends on their height too.
Built, or muscular… Taylor Lautner FTW
1 or 2
Thin but toned!
1.
Simply thin will suffice.
Thin. YOU LEFT OUT MANOREXIC! That’s the best body type. The super-skinny guys that still eat tons but resemble toothpicks and don’t throw up. Muscles are yucky.
Thin and toned would be best. My bf is definitely thin, but he’s so sexy to me.
Definitely number two, thin but toned. Yumm.
@Masked_Melody - I agree with you completely. I kept looking for my type of guy when I realize there is no average body.
Muscular>Thin but toned>Built>Thin. All others are a big NO from this picky girl.
I don’t like “fat” guys, but guys with a little meat on them, chubby ones, are quite attractive
Chubby Chaser
2 & 3 I like my guy is holding me but not completely crushing me.
My ideal body type really depends on who my current love interest is, so right now, thin!
“chubby” looks pretty obese to me. anywhere between “thin but toned” and “built” is good.
@hurtingforyourlove - Yeah, average… that’s what I was looking for.
Guys or gals, ideal body type is usually ideal personality type for me. My physical attraction tends to depend on how attractive their personality is, so it’s hard for me to pick one off a list, but I love the variety of photos you’ve included– especially that you didn’t exclude chubby and obese.
By the way, I quite like your blog. It’s one of the few that I consistently read.
1 1 1 1 1! Aaaa..He’s not thin though, just normal. I like thinner too but this one is p e r f e c t.
I think thin but toned, or muscular.
JENSEN! =]
Thin-toned
Muscular (if proportionate with height ¬ too crazy)
Built (if proportionate with height ¬ too crazyy)
A mix of thin and thin but toned.
If they’re tall, then slim but toned. If they’re 5’7″-5’9″ then I like them muscular.
thin but toned, just like my boyfriend
1 or 2 or the ones who seem flat but do have flabs if you pinch them because that’d be fun to poke.
Thin but toned!
i’m somewhere between 1 and 2 but i have t-rex arms. why is there not a body type depicting t-rex arms?? i feel unrepresented
one and two are so alike.
but i’mma say…thin but toned. because its my husbands, and its sexy.
mmm one and two look pretty close to me. So either of those.
lets go with 2
prefer thin but toned
seriously your cathegories are all wrong, that man isn’t thin.. or else you leaving a huge part of the manly population withput cathergory. Also I wouldn’t say that man is chubby, maybe chubby with a BIG C.
i like my men thin or thin and built. as much as i hate to sound shallow, i’d probably never date a fatty.
Thin but toned and muscular are the best looking. I have to say though, I find most normal guy body types attractive. It’s when it goes towards an extreme that they don’t look good.
again, awful picture choices.
1, 2, and 3 look exactly the same, as do 6 and 7. are you even trying?
here’s an example of what you should have used for thin:
http://x64.xanga.com/139f0462d1430241263270/b190990839.jpg
thin for sure. i love skinny boys, they’re the best.
Muscular or “Built” Yummmmm
1, 2, 3 and 5!
GREED!
thin but toned.. probably less than that picture.. but thin and toned is fine too.. toned and a bit chubby works fine as well..
that chubby is not chubby, he’s fat, and you don’t have an “average” guy in there at all. fail.
