Re: On guys: Very Slim (borderline skinny) vs. well built (muscular)?Oh, definitely slim/skinny.(Original post by Amwazicles)
I didn't want to embarrass you in case you didn't know
I have genuinely never noticed the strange lack of eyebrows before
He has quite a prominent forehead I guess, so I wonder if the shadow of that makes him look like he has more of an eyebrow than he does
And I agree, they're not quite as impressive
Spoiler:ShowBut they are pretty good
So, where do you stand on the well-built/skinny debate? (seeing as we're still on this thread
)
Am so myself, so anything muscular would make me feel ridiculously weak and puny.
EDIT:
Oh, honestly! I'm not a huge majority - there's nothing to worry about negger.
Appearance matters very little to me on the whole

Re: On guys: Very Slim (borderline skinny) vs. well built (muscular)?Yeah I think that's partly my reasoning too(Original post by Lily Academia)

Plus the majority of guys my age are on the skinny side, which is good

Well built, all the way. Wouldn't want to be worried he'd break! And there is nigh on nothing that beats nice arms.

Spoiler:ShowIt's nothing to be ashamed of

Without wanting to get off topic, how do you feel about Matt Smith (the current Dr Who)? He has some impressive cheekbones.
He's also pretty lanky/skinny (and generally
), if we're on topic
Spoiler:ShowHe's amusing and all, but I always preferred Tennant. I'd feel slightly like a paedophile with Matt tbh, he's a little childish (in the nicest possible way).
Not that Ten's muscular, but he's cute and has epic hair

Re: On guys: Very Slim (borderline skinny) vs. well built (muscular)?I find it almost impossible to choose between them to be honest(Original post by Jess Holly)

Both in terms of looks, and general character in the actual show too

Re: On guys: Very Slim (borderline skinny) vs. well built (muscular)?Both are brilliant actors; I really like the different characters they've brought to the role. In looks though, it's definitely Tennant. Probably because he has eyebrows?(Original post by Amwazicles)

What are you, obsessed with eyebrows or something?!
I understand....
Spoiler:ShowBut you're wrong
. Nah I really don't think I could choose one over the other in all honesty.

Re: On guys: Very Slim (borderline skinny) vs. well built (muscular)?I see your point.(Original post by Lily Academia)

Possibly not

What's up with all these girls liking skinny boys?
a) horrible hungs
b) not being able to defend you if needed, or even carry you probably
c) "The act of sex, while encompassing any number of emotions, is an inherently physical act. If a girl is choosing a guy for a hot night of passion, what girl wouldn’t choose the beautiful sculpture of a man with abs of steel, rippling pecs and bulging biceps over the beer-bellied guy who looked like he could have posed for Picasso, with jiggling love handles and hair growing out of places never before thought possible?" -

b) Why would I want him to defend or carry me? Hes not my servant
c) Because some of us dont find the look attractive -
Re: On guys: Very Slim (borderline skinny) vs. well built (muscular)?I'm not talking about stick-thin, I'm talking about very slim/borderline skinny. You can still be strong and very slim. Whilst very slim people are obviously less strong than a person of a rugby build, many very slim people are very physically fit.(Original post by neverlander¾)

Re: On guys: Very Slim (borderline skinny) vs. well built (muscular)?it's actually more to do with being skinny.(Original post by greenwhale)
you don't need to be at all muscular to have a 6 pack -
Re: On guys: Very Slim (borderline skinny) vs. well built (muscular)?a) Maybe you just haven't met any skinny people good at hugs(Original post by neverlander¾)

b) Firstly skinnier people often have a higher muscle density than those who appear well built. Therefore they are proportionally stronger. Also martial arts tends to help for things like this
c) Source?
Yeah personally I'd rather be over-skinny than over-muscley. I've never been with anyone who had a problem with my weight (aside from one time when I lost near 8kg due to illness). I'm skinnier than I want, but I'd rather be that than too well built. Plus in the end interesting conversation tends to matter a lot more with those who I'm interested in so it's not a massive hit on my confidence. This said, I know many girls who like muscley guys, it's just a personal preference thing, like long/short hair.

I just did the same and didn't realise how hot Matt actually was!
