Slim, skinny, mild build maybe?

Average/mediocre build.?

Buff/ripped/bulging muscles?



or maybe to some it doesn't matter?





I myself am on the slim side being 5'9" tall and roughly 140 lbs. I've found that a lot of women like guys taller and bigger then me.
 
"...or maybe to some it doesn't matter?"


I quoted you. For me, it doesn't matter. I look at the qualities a man has, not his body type.
 
Different women have different preferences. Me personally I like slender guys, even ones who could be described as "petite", though average height is fine too. I know lots of women who have different preferences than I do.
 
I have preferences, but I've dated and slept with skinny, chubby, short and tall guys. Personality and a handsome face is more important to me than body type.
 
I like toned and defined muscle. I'm not a lover of the body builder look.
But really it wouldn't matter if he wasn't.
 
As you can tell from the answers so far, most women will date outside their physical "type" if they even have one. As a man you should stay in shape, be well groomed, and dress well. Your charisma and confidence will take care of the rest. You'll never be universally attractive, but women will take into consideration your personality and game. When a female says she likes a guy to be X tall, Y hair color and Z skin, disregard. Let her reject you outright but don't reject yourself based on some laundry list.
 
I like an athletic build. Don't really care for defined six packs or the Hollywood hunk type of body, super defined and cut . What I find sexiest is the body of a man who is physically active, who likes do play a sport, hike or swim or whatever, keep in shape, a naturally normally fit body, nothing exaggerated.

Having said that, in the end of course other things can compensate for the lack of such physique while the physique alone can't compensate for the lack of inner qualities tbh.
 
i guess i dress normally, i don't spend a ridiculous amount of money on designer shirts etc.

I just get decent t-shirts and nice jeans, and sometimes i wear a hoodie, but i don't ever look gangster, my clothes do fit.


I'm fairly active, I have a job where i'm always walking/moving doing physical labor.

I don't really work out, i know i should, but i get so tired sometimes that after work i can't bring myself to do it.


I have a pic somewhere, I'm not like sickly skinny but i'm a smaller guy.

I just don't seem to attract many women in my area, they usually go for the taller/bigger built guys i've noticed.

I agree with this, build or body type doesn't matter. (Male or female)
A person’s character and personality are key. It is possible to be the prettiest woman or the most handsome man and still be ugly. The way someone carries himself or herself, the way they speak and treat others are important to how I view someone.
Ultimately, looks fade; character and personality, while they may change, they are more enduring.

Oh and confidence is sexy. :D

My "physical type" is short (under 5'9) and stocky. He doesn't have to look bulky some rib meat is nice, veiny forarms and hipbones are sexy to me. But I agree with HoldYouDown personality widens the scope on dating possibilities.
 
I've been with the petite man, to the morbidly obese that I'm still surprised it worked out, to body builders, normal guys, strong men types and literally anything in between.

That said, I prefer the thicker men. I don't like bony prominences on men. I like something to hold on to. But a pretty face and a good personality will get you into bed a lot easier with me.

I love the fact I'm a curvier girl, and love that the thinner and more muscled men love the fact I'm soft too.
 
Priorities for me:
1) makes me laugh
2) makes me cum
3) has a reasonable body
4) gives me space when I or he needs it
 
If I had to choose I prefer an athletic build but not super bulky. However like other people have said personality is what matters most.
 
The funniest spectacle I ever saw was 3 good looking women acting like teens around Liberace in line at Disney World. He was old, gay, looked ill, and the ladies were hysterical.

Women are hormone slaves.

i guess i need a new brain then problem solved.
 
variety

It seems as though women like variety or don't really have a favorite type. I'm a very muscular guy. Even in my middle age - 6'1" and around 220. I lift and do other workouts regularly and I don't think it has gotten me any extra action in the bedroom short of a couple of older women who were intrigued by a younger muscular guy. Those relationships usually start by me having hands on me at first meeting and being in bed within hours. I'm all arms, shoulders, chest and ass. Looking back on it, while it has rarely gotten me laid, once in the bedroom I've had many women young and old take the time to run their hands on my chest, arms and ass and make comments about how they like them once I was naked. So, that's nice. I just work out because I like it and it contrasts my professional life very well.

In short, it certainly seems as though women warm more to a guy who is a good talker and gives them nice attention - vs. taking on a guy based on just physical presence...as evidenced in the comments by the women here. And, it's nice to hear from the ladies (good question).
 
I love it when a man is taller than me (I'm 5'7" which is tall for a woman). That said, I've found guys shorter than me really hot. So it depends on the man.

Of course, a big, tall man makes me feel small and vulnerable... and that really does work with my submissive nature and desire to be overpowered.
 
Lean. Muscles. That's what I like. But, it's not necessarily the point. I'd date a super funny chubby dude, or an awesome skinny nerd if I dug him. What I like physically matters, but personality awesomesauce supersedes body types, any day.
