Here's my list... haha..

-tall
-tan
-muscular arms
-pecks
-good hygine
(a six pack is a plus but not a necessity... just NO man boobs) haha

But to be honest its not all about looks. My ex-boyfriend wasn't in the best shape, but OMG we had soo much fun together! Its just about the click that you have with someone that really counts. Looks are just a plus. My current boyfriend is aware that he is good looking, but he comes off cocky and that is such a huge turn-off. It really makes him look unattractive to me sometimes.

I guess "skinny" athlete, out of those choices. My idea of skinny is a guy who is very thin & has little muscle. A slender guy who is athletic & has muscle tone will unlikely look "skinny" to me, rather guys like that appear "lean".

My ideal body type is a guy with some muscle tone & definition, but not bulky. In shape, but in a sort of elegant & nonchalant way, not like someone who lives for the gym. I'd take a little skinny over fat or bodybuilder muscles, but I've seen some cute chubby guys & very muscular guys too.
I've noticed that guys who surf or play soccer/football look pretty nice, but it doesn't really matter to me how he maintains himself. I like guys who are between 5'10 and 6'2 or so.

To me, legs are very important on a guy; I don't like skinny, knobby legs or short, bulky legs. I like long leans legs with some definition. I never thought David Beckham was cute, except he has very nice legs . Nice shoulders, back and hands are good too. I don't mind a little bit of love handles though...no one's perfect!

THIS FEMALE, loves a tall, but no more than 6'2, thin, well-toned, clean-shaven male. I also like a male with a beard only if it is black- hair, and closely cropped, with a nice moustache. I see many men who go out of their way to look less attractive, with lots of unkempt hair around their faces. Even if a man is slightly portly, he can always look good, with less hair around the face, especially, when it becomes gray. However, I do love a nice head of pure white- hair, with a cropped beard, like Kenny Rogers!

I'm kind of surprised at the number of women out there who like heavier guys.

...and the lack of play us tall skinny marathon runners get....where's the love? Edit: Just looked at the poll results and we are actually doing pretty good.

My wife constantly complains about my boneyness. "Every part of your body sticks out and hurts from your elbows to your butt to your hip bones!"

The skinny folks are leading the poll by a little bit. The strong guys are easily in last.

Yet they throw their panties at us when we dance on stage

Seriously -- we don't look all veined and shiny outside of a competition/photo shoot and Arnold is on the big size. Most of us look closer to Men's Health model than a Mr. Olympia

LOL, so true about the Chippendales comment. Yes, most "built" guys aren't that built. However, most guys in the gym aspire to become like one of them.

Yep yep yep!! 6 foot minimum! And not over-built. I hate that elephant man look that the body builders get. Just . . . . normal healthy. Except for that muscle that runs along the back just under the arm. What the heck is that called? Oh man, I love that!! Hubby's looked awesome back when he was able to work out. Yumm-a-liscious!

Don't like short or skinny at all. I'd rather a guy be slightly over weight than under or over muscled.
