Most women would not but absolutely no one is a huge stretch.

A chubby guy in poor health may also have poor sperm quality as well as impotence issues. This is why I say I wouldn't want either. They are both too extreme.

I don't know... there is this study (which I saw on another thread) Why Men With Big Bellies Make Better Lovers | YourTango

It claims men with bellies make better lovers (and they measured it... as in how long/length of time a man lasts in bed). I'll be honest, last guy I dated for any length of time had a belly and he was damn good. Of course, it's not really in line with this thread because he does work out (maybe not a lot, but he does).

Chubby is a turn off. If those are my only two criteria, I'll take the runner as I love two run myself. Much more in common. And I can't imagine that an out of shape chubby would have more "lasting power" in bed.

Familiar with Seth, but wanted to double-check him. I'll still take him over really skinny. Just looks sickening, and while laying in bed, cuddling, I don't want to be holding bones lol.

Chubby, because there are better odds he won't go wandering.

Would depend on their personalities outside of working out.

There was a topic just like this a few months ago. It's not about the body. It's about the mind and the heart.

Yes, I am a chunky now, but even in my 5'7" 120lb years I couldn't deal with it.
I don't know what gym rats you're hanging out with who will forgo a steak in favor of a salad. People looking to build muscle are always on the hunt for protein.

Neither.

I would take a chubby guy but ONLY if he did something physical. He doesn't have to be a die-hard...but some kind of physical recreational activity would be nice (rec softball league, tennis...something).

A big NO on the super skinny guy...not attracted to that at all.
