5. Hot or Not?

Allow this to stand as a simple yet fun little experiment help me with my research people! Based of course on opinion- what is a females basic physical attraction to different body types...granted...this isn't a numbers game or a drawn out survey...simply a question of what women find desireable in body type and what men think women find sexy in a body type.
According to Science
A sexually attractive visual appearance in humans generally involves:
a general body shape and appearance sanctioned by the local culture
a lack of visible disease or deformity
a high degree of mirror symmetrybetween the left and right sides of the body, particularly of the face.
pleasing bodily posture
Hence, it is typical for a plastic surgeon to correct a perceived error of proportion (rhinoplasty- a nose job, breast augmentation, penis enlargement, pec implants...)Thus, the market for plastic surgery.
here are the basic body types...I would like to STRESS the word BASIC...i'm being imprecise for that same reason. Making generalizations are okay every so often peeps!
THE LINE UP!
1. Average guy body : What I mean by this is usually what we see everyday (unless you work for a fashion magazine) that one guy who cashiers at your neighborhood store...somewhat slender...size 32-36 waistline...no huge noticeable muscle definition with some stomach padding. Just look at my pictures on my myspace.
2. Slender with some definition (swimmers body)http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/cms/2004/large/Michael_Phelps_-_rs_964965_People_of_the_Year_-_lg.6765208.jpg : now in this case he is an olympian but is thin (nonetheless muscular) and not too strong (lifting weights) compared to the others
3. More definition and a bit stronger (lifting weights)http://www.nccu.edu/campus/athletics/jstfpr03.jpg : now with him he is much more defined and is "most likely" stronger (lifting weights) because his sport demands it...make sense everyone?
4. Big and strong (lifting weights)http://www.toccionline.com/creations/photofun/therock.jpg : now the rock is strong (lifting weights) but is not as defined or probably have as high endurance because his sport doesn't require it.
5. Huge and strong (lifting weights) http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/103727main_bodybuilder.jpg : it goes without saying that he is strong (lifting weights) but i'm sure he does not have as high endurance (in running for example) as some of the others. High definition and large body mass...because his sport demands it.
6. Pudgy guy (someone like the sandlot kid) http://videodetective.com/photos/767/032243_45.jpg : he is chunky and lack a lot of defined muscle mass.
So in the end
women...what is more attractive to you? Don't take sport into consideration...this is sadly a purely aesthetic question....based on looks.
men...what do we think women will tend to go for? what is our perception that women like the most?...based on looks
make your choice by commenting on it and putting your selected number. You don't have to say why you chose it but it'll be interesting to hear why...it doesn't have to be too serious
e.g. "#6 because there is more to love"
Disclaimer: It doesn't mean you only go for this...it doesn't mean you only like these guys...i'm just interested in what is eye pleasing for women. It'll be interesting to see what each other think. Please keep in mind that we also have to take into consideration the fast twitch and slow twitch muscles and compare those to the sports that each do. Also, I understand there exist different definitions of strong and different definitions of measurement...don't read into it. I can recognize this and I can also recognize that i'm being general..so don't get upset...just tell me what you think.

4. Songs

"In you a star is born andYou cut a perfect form andSomeone forever warm"
"Pride can stand a thousand trials,the strong will never fallBut watching stars without you,my soul cried."
"If you're looking for an open book Look no further, I am yours...So come outside and walk with me We'll try each other on to see if we fit And with our roots, become a tree To shade what we make, under it "
"How many times have you told me you love her As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth How long have I stood here beside you I live through you You looked through meOoh, Can't you seeAll along it was me How can you be so blind As to see right through me"
"You turn my head when you turn around You turn the whole world upside down I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked I'm stuck like glue You make me Make me hungry for you
"so sorry whisper all nightI lay here deep in silent plightmy head consumes the lighttoo much thought my life's evolvingI wish that I could buyanother world that's all grown upinherit sleepless criesI'd rather kill the tormentkill the torment"
"Wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking As we moved together in the dark And all the friends that i was telling And all the playful misspellings And every bite i gave you left a mark"
"My biggest fear will be the rescue of me Strange how it turns out that way Could you show me dear...something I've not seen? Something infinitely interesting...There's something about the way you move I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing"
"You're too important for anyone You play the role of all you long to be But I, I know who you really are You're the one who cries when you're alone...You think that I can't see right through your eyes Scared to death to face reality No one seems to hear your hidden cries You're left to face yourself alone"
"I sleep with one eye open so I can see you breathing (I sleep with one eye open) I follow your chest home Until I, (so I can see you breathing) I can see you, I can hear you breathe in exhale...you are the song I know"
"You'll be loved you'll be loved Like you never have known The memories of me Will seem more like bad dreams...You may feel alone when you're falling asleep And everytime tears roll down your cheeks But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet..someday you will be loved"

We can understand all that surrounds us

Because all the choices we make in our lives stem from our perceptions, we are, in effect, the focus of our universe...Every moment of the day, we have perceptions that evolve out of our experiences and influence all aspects of our lives. Understanding ourselves, our relationships, and our partners depends on our awareness and acceptance of these subjective perceptions. Only by understanding people's perceptions of reality can we fully appreciate them and the ways in which they direct and organize their lives.
Only then can we become part of the person's reality and in turn move from a shadow puppet hiding behind white sheets, to a fitting piece of their puzzled existance able to feel and understand what makes them, uniquely strong.
Be part of a person...not conditionally seeing them from the outside, in.
