Guys: Do you think the best body type is along the lines of "toned and defined, but not big/bulky"?
Girls: What do you think is more appealing in a guy's physique?

[quote=XDanerer]Sorry for creeping, but i'm a 100 and 200 breastroker and my frame like...that of a sprinter, just not defined :S[/quote]
Still pretty good though haha
[quote=poepienee]Not yet I'm now close to Taylor Lautner's body so it gives you an idea[/quote]
It took Taylor Lautner ~9 months to get up to where he was before Twilight Eclipse. How close are you exactly?
[quote=Celyfaye]Yep, used to swim competitively year-round. HHATED summer section, darn meter pools.[/quote]
Cool =]. I think the only event I ever hated my coach for was when he put me in a 500m freestyle event cause he needed a person and I'm weak at long distance =[ Most of the girls I know are breast strokers xD I hate meter pools too, you're not along

[quote=standknight]Haha that's cool I'm a 100m IM type of person LOL.. Are you in a year round swim team also? [/quote]
Yep, used to swim competitively year-round. HHATED summer section, darn meter pools.
[quote=Celyfaye]more like 100/200 yard breaststroke, haha ^_^ I hate meter pools, since my advantage comes from my turns... even though meter is what big competitions are all about...
I know breastroker tend to have a smaller upper body, and have a very slightly smaller frame than most. That picture happened to make me look a little more like a monster than usual [/quote]

I heard women don't care about looks, it's all about personality.
That's obviously false. It's all about 6pack and size of you know what.
[quote=standknight]You look like a 200m free styler. Correct me if I'm wrong? o:
@Vanna: Yep! Feel free to add me whenever you get a chance [/quote]

IMO, girl swimmers aren't as typically as good looking our shoulders are too wide. Like [url=http://s996.photobucket.com/albums/af90/JenniiixD/?action=view&current=5b870244.jpg]this[/url]. As you can see, my shoulders are REALLY wide.
But ya. Like I said, guy swimmers are usually very hot.

@sonikuboy: honestly the way people get worked up and fight in the comments is just as much a draw for me, entertaining stuff.
but yeah, it can be pretty awkward

[quote=PriRO3]I like a swimmers body.
Honestly, I just don't want a hanging belly.
Those. are. disgusting.
o_e[/quote]
YES YES YES Swimmer bodies <3 <3
A swimmer's body is by far the most ideal body type for a guy. Being a swimmer myself, I know that swimmers and athletes that do water polo have better bodies compared to other sports athletes.
If girls don't like toned, then I've been wasting my time. Haha, sike.
I definitely think defined but not physically bursting in every way is the greatest.
Cam Gigandet definitely...
What about Sean Faris vs. Cam Gigandet vs. Brad Pitt?
Yeah, that sounds about right. Well, a slight mixture of the two.
[quote=poepienee]I can't believe how skinny you guys like.

dontdoit! [Unless you want a female companion that looks like this http://steroidanalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/2637se3.jpg]
HAHA.
i like skinny guys
big and bulky is disgusting, i cringe when i see those body building contests.
@sonikuboy: I'll just take both for best results
I love guys with bodies that are strong, but I don't like the whole "large muscle" idea. I find it rather creepy.
I just like a fit stomach and overall good physique.
The best is when someone has well-defined cheekbones and collarbones.
...I think I'm a bit odd -__-
[quote=sonikuboy]I think id rather have Jake Gyllenhaal.[/quote]
Me too. But still, RYAN REYNOLDS. -Drools-
Which is funny, because i'm a fan of just the average body.

[quote=tanyaleannel]I like guys who are a bit toned, but not too big. Guys who have like super muscles scare me a lot, and i feel like i would be crushed. A little bit taller than me, nicely toned arm muscles and chest is perfect [/quote]
What do you mean by chest?
[quote=Celyfaye]They're still the sexiest. I love all your body parts.[/quote]I love me too. <3

[quote=andrewkai]"Toned and defined" may be construed as over-muscular and "ripped" which is not healthy nor attractive. Weight-lifters who seek "definition" and who seek just to enlarge their muscles might be mentally ill. It's body dysmorphic disorder, in the sense that they think they're too small and need to be "defined."
A healthy male body is height-weight proportionate (a BMI of 19-24), about 14-17% body fat (this is the recommended healthy average), has continuing and appropriate sexual gland functions that produce appropriate adult characteristics, and has proper and appropriate hygiene.[/quote]
Hold on there, Einstein.
First off, toned and defined is popularly known as somewhat muscular with average to slightly below average body fat, and it is not, ever interpreted as big and bulky. When you say weightlifters want to get DEFINED because they think they're small, you're saying they want to lose fat because they don't have enough muscle mass (hint: that doesn't make sense).
I'm also glad you decided to point out the averages for body mass index, as it just goes to show how much of a tool you are. Many football players in the NFL have BMIs way above the average, simply due to their muscle mass, with cardiovascular performance many times better than yours. So how is it, then, that you call these people unhealthy? Furthermore, since when did your BMI being out of the range, excluding the extremes, have anything to do with malfunctioning sex glands? Even more absurd, I thought, was that it would affect their HYGIENE. LOL.
Lol this is quite a weird conversation o-o
Too all the girls~
honestly, who thinks [url=http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af90/JenniiixD/Lean_swimmer.jpg]this[/url] body is perfect? I'm like drooling just looking at it hhahah.
@ the person who said I was into swimmers: well obviously, since I am one myself
