i am not androgynous.

who's with me?

seriously, a number of women i know complain about the perfect women on the television. it's really no different for men .. skinny underwear ad guys irritate me. my bones are bigger than that. i'm not fat -- i could lose some rubber around the middle, sure. but i'm also one of the strongest people i know, in terms of what i can push/pull/lift relative to my body mass.
i can understand an appreciation of the beauty (cause it's beauty) that the skinny androgynous guy posesses. but is it attractive? does it make your pulse quicken and your thighs sweat?
so here's the question: women, and i'm in particular asking the sexually driven women of this fine forum, which do you find more attractive? masculinity or androgeny? discuss. danke.

masculinity. I like my men to be men. I love big cchunky guys with juicy butts especially *drools* I even like skinny guys with no butts but I want my men to be men! Not the kind of person you look twice at because your thinking "is that a guy or a girl?"

I want a man who is able to manhandle me in bed when I'm in the mood. Those guys in the ads may be nice looking in the face and may even have a couple of muscles here and there but I wouldn't give most of them the time of day. I am a very solid girl and I want someone I don't have to worry about squishing. I also like for a man to look like a man.

I like men to be masculine

I have a friend who is very androgynous. He's absolutley beautiful in the face, but he's got such a slight feminine body that I always wonder how the women he's with don't snap him like a twig.
I'll give my husband as an example. Sure he could tighten up the belly a little, but he's decidedly masculine. Broad shoulders, large strong hands with thick fingers, a good firm tush, solid thighs and strong calves. He has a thick chest and a chiseled profile. Aside from his being short he's pretty much got it down in my book.

Another friend of mine is going through a similar thing right now. He's put on a few pounds around the middle and he's convinced that now women won't be interested so he's gone gym crazy trying to tone up the body to the point of underwear model status.

I agree that I like to feel like if I was in the mood my man could pick me up, toss me over his shoulder and have his way with me. A bit neanderthal in the day of the sensetive new age man, but none the less a popular ideal for men. Besides,what woman wants a man who's prettier then she is in a new pair of undies?...LOL!

i want a man that i don't have to worry that i might hurt if i hug him to hard. i like my men to be men.

so i guess that i would have to say that i agree with the rest of these fine ladies of lit.
