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.
