Meh...I sincerely don't think women disagree or debate attractive body type and men's body fat issues as much as men do about women. I need chemistry, you goofy monkey! I don't carry a calipers with me. The biggest turn-on happens with my brain, what comes out of someones mouth, no it probably won't work with the elephant man, but body fat percent isn't even a close defining characteristic. I can't participate, my brain is handicapping me.
That's so funny! I'm picturing going on a date with someone and pulling out the calipers and a scale from my big purse before we continue with the wine and steak. That person would beat a hasty retreat.
Personal preferences differ between each individual. With that being said, I think I have a pretty wide range of what I find attractive in women. I like super fit athletic types like Kaisa Keiran, Annie Thorsdottir, Gracyanne Barbosa and Zuzka Light, as well as non athletic types like J-Lo, Kristin Davis and pre-baby Kim Kardashian so my range varies.
What I DO NOT LIKE is overweight bodies. This is just me (and many others). Nothing wrong with that, its just preference.
Personally none of the men shown would be my ideal body type.
There are just far too many other variables that would make me want to be with someone (or not be with them). One is just plain chemistry. Then maybe add in the eyes that I would want to look into all the time, lips I would want to kiss and hands I would want to hold and SEE moving along my body. That to me is more sexy than a guys actual body type.
However there are probably a few body types that really are not for me. The really skinny guy and the rock hard bodybuilder type with veins bulging and tendons and other things I don't want to see visible through their skin showing are not people I would typically give a second look to if I was single. A man with muscles and some "cushion" is probably my ideal type if I had to choose. And the guy you listed as overweight....I don't get that.
I agree with you about other things being needed. Your type of guy is a good mix which is part hard and soft. As for the overweight man, he only fits in that category due to being slightly overweight(it's subtle, I woas trying to find a man with about 5 more pounds of fat but it's hard lol

The only woman I think is pretty (body and face both) is #2.
Number 2 is ideal.

I would attempt being with the skinny girl as long as she has boobs honestly.

That's awesome and with time the physical and mental part of a person changes.

If you have those qualities you can be busted in the face but men will flock
I would just summarize the woman as to having a banging body then she is good to go. Honestly that is most important for the sexual experience.

I'm picturing my date glancing over at my waist smirkingly and going, "Will I be able to pinch an inch?" and me looking toward him in return and asking skeptically, "Will I?"
Well there have been studies that have suggested things like men prefer C-cups most and another that found men prefer bodies when it's short term dating and faces when it comes to more serious relationships.
Personally I'd prefer a little heavy to too thin.
Probably up to 30 lbs and certainly no more than 50 pounds overweight. And if she is more than that it's either genetic/medical (not interested) or some sort of emotion issues. Obviously that's not counting special circumstances like having a kid.
Also with the light skin thing I think a lot of that has to do with more light skinned women being presented to the public, not necessarily a preference.
There is some representation of darker women and all are what I'd consider attractive.
Arlenis Sosa, Ruth Ocumarez, Lanisha Cole, Damaris Lewis, Gabrielle Union, Nicole Fiscella, Serena Reeder, Regine Nehy, and so on.
Plus you have to consider if people didn't like somewhat dark women the tanning industry wouldn't be nearly as big as it is in the US.
As far as a busted face goes sometimes it just works like those Indian women who have attractive faces except for their noses that just make them more interesting. Or sometimes it's ears that stick out too far, but it just makes them cuter.
As far as bodies go, as I have said earlier in this thread, there is a pretty wide range of different body types that the majority of men like that ranges from fit to athletic to curvy to thin, etc. Its just that when it comes to being "overweight" that is where the majority of men start to find it to be less attractive and less desirable. Its why I have always said that for women, all they have to be is not fat and they will ALWAYS have guys flirting and/or pursuing them for romantic relationships.

lol I'm picturing that but usually, I would probably be looking at the girls chest and anticipating that.

honestly the body is more important to me with the personality. The face is great but if the body is is too over weight or skinny that will be a turn off for me.

The massive number of tanning salons and companies that make bronze tanners and lotions pretty much makes your "light skin" comment invalid.

I agree with what you said about fat being the most undesirable among the other options.
Of the women I liked #4 the most (beautiful obese woman was the way OP described her).
