    I agree, the guy you have under 'muscular' is actually 'athletic'... the guy you have under 'athletic' just looks a bit chubby.

    IGNORING your examples (as I disagree with some of the labels on them), I like a man with a toned body, good arm muscles but not hugely muscular and scary. Don't really go for scrawny or chubby.

    I like guys to look muscular. But I also like them "lean" in the slim sense of the word. Ie: muscular but not blocky. Like.. a really obvious sixpack I don't really like so much.. prefer it to be slightly present but subtle. Having a nice obvious V is great though.

    Of those my preferred was probably "skinny", although he would be better with a little more bulge, particularly his shoulders.
    The "muscular" guy has overdone his shoulders for me though.

    I dunno, I'm not really that fussy in real life. Take what I get tbh, although I must say that skinny-fat isn't looking so great (to be fair I do look after myself so I have less fat on me than that guy) and "very muscular/ripped" is just a bit gross, and frankly to be that ripped he's probably on roids and lifting weights the whole time, which doesn't sound like a match for me in any case.
    Nothing wrong with "bulky", but he doesn't do it for me.

    I'm guessing the OP is the "athletic" guy in the pictures.
    lol. Exactly what I thought. And it's hardly athletic.

    Where's the option for chubby/fat guys? Girls seem to love those.

    Everyone's saying the 'athletic' one isn't athletic but it's my preferred choice out of the options given.

    Mmm Hugh Jackman is perfect. Not many muscular guys actually exist so ill settle for the athletic frame. Skinny makes me feel sick!

    Nothing sadder than toning (or de-toning) your body in accordance to what women like. So pathetic.

    This is a general comment OP, not directed at you at all

    put three guys on the street- one skinny, one average and another ripped.
    The ripped guy will get more attention because he stands out. Caveman instinct has led women to want a protector and strong mate- ripped guys look the strongest and most capable of protecting.
    Not only that, you could argue that a guy who is ripped (not bodybuilder size, but is packing) shows some sort of dedication and hard work because it's not easy to get a body like that and it requires a healthy lifestyle which a girl would be more happy to be involved in.
    Nope, I'd take average. Your caveman argument might work, but you're forgetting some women actually value other attributes than just dedication to the gym, and also I don't think I'd fancy someone who totally at the other end of the physical spectrum from me!
    I'd probably take the guy marked as "athletic", even though I took think he is particularly athletic looking!
