Not bad at all. I appreciate many different body types and as long as a guy isn't overly fat/skinny/muscly/bulky/etc then it's no problem for me.

I think most women prefer or at least will always consider dating a tall lanky dude. Im 6' 1" and even when in college I was 150 pounds. I NEVER had any problem getting women or dating women. I started working out and my skinny frame turned into a V frame. Still skinny, but muscular as I worked a lot on squats and shoulder presses back then. Today, although married, Im still a "skinny" guy at 6' 1" and depending on where I am in my workout routines, between 175 and 182 pounds.

I have always done better with dates/women/girlfriends than my heavier dude friends. I think its the flat stomach that women prefer over the gut stomach.

Yeah a flat stomach makes up for a lot of evils (I think its not just the aesthetic but also the implied fitness) and the older you get the more rare a commodity it becomes.

But Zentropa... elbows and kness? I give you credit for admiring body parts with um, character? lol

It is the total package. If a person is over 6'3", he would be too tall for me. If I can see rib cage, I'd puke.

Just like some men have an issue with girls that are not thin enough, or pretty enough, I don't date men that are too skinny or frail looking. lmao !

I like my men big, beefy and fit. No Gumbys wanted.

I don't know if you work out or not, but if you spend 35-40 minutes 3-4 times a week you will put on some muscle.

I prefer long,lean and lanky to big muscles. I like the swimmer type body.
