I was reading a thread on a fitness forum and a bunch of guys (most of them having very impressive bodies) said that women hate it when guys have a small frame (small shoulders and longer/thinner torso) to a point of finding them unattractive and ugly. At first I dissed them and told them that makes no sense since guys can still have fit good looking bodies even if they don't have huge broad shoulders and that it makes no sense to consider a man unattractive if he is still very fit (lean with some muscle). But then a woman (a fairly attractive one at that) started posting in the thread and said she agreed and that men with a small frame are just fugly no matter what they do.
Is this actually true? If a guy has narrow shoulders and a small frame he just flat out isn't attractive to women even with all the exercise in the world?
EDIT: Do keep it in mind though that we aren't really talking about big vs small here, we are talking about frame size. A guy with a small frame will still have a small frame even after he buffs. I am not asking if it's possible for guys to be attractive even if they are skinny, but if women hate men who have a small frame. Here is an example of a guy with a small frame vs a big frame with the smaller one being on the left:

Why not ask those guys on that board, since they are the ones saying that?
Like usual, it all depends on the woman, some women I'm sure wouldn't mind and others would. It's the same with some guys that like biggins and some guys like a small handful.
Oh heck no! That whole willowy thing is HUGE with some women. Not a tiny minority, either.
Of course bodybuilders are going to believe their type is more attractive, but that's like going on a long hair forum and asking whether people there think long hair is attractive.
Different people like different things but yes, small-framed/slender guys can be VERY attractive. I like a smaller guy much much more than a bulked guy, if we're talking just physically here.

Yep.
Once again, "women" do not all like the same thing. We all have preferences and tastes that vary by a lot or a little.

Because I don't know if what those people feel is representative of what most feel, so I wanted to get feedback from a third party.
