What Women Want: Body Type

Just like we are always wondering what guys are thinking (which is usually sex, boobs, or sex), guys want to know what’s on our minds. What do we want? What do we like? What the hell do we mean when we curtly say “it’s fine” after we catch them chatting with a whore another girl at the party?Contrary to popular belief, they care what we think. Not only because they want to please us, but because they want to woo us, lure us…and get us into their beds.

So, we at CollegeCandy decided it was time to let guys know exactly what we like/hate/and dream about at night. So, vote, comment and pass this on to those boys in your life. And remember: unlike sex with most college men, this is all for you in the end.

Which do you prefer: the skinny boy, or the dude with a little extra meat on his bones?

    I don’t know how trim and slender is winning. These polls are always on interesting topics but have horrible choices. I would like to claim that I’m not shallow, but the truth is, I DO care about body type. I wouldn’t date someone overweight–and not just because of the way it looks (although, if we’re being truthful, that’s one of the reasons). An overweight guy most likely doesn’t take care of himself, and that’s unattractive.

    But the other options are trim and slender or beefy. What about in the middle?

    And, maybe it’s just my own insecurities coming out, but I could never date a guy who’s thinner than I am, so thin and slender is OUT.

    Agreed. I can’t stand those little skinny emo boys. Do you know how much their elbows hurt when you cuddle?!

    Hello. Trim & slender does not equal deathly skinny.

    At least not in my book, I’d take it to mean he’s slender and he’s got nice abs…I mean that’s what comes to my mind when I think trim & slender…

    I like “average” guys. I don’t like super skinny, or even skinny, but I don’t want someone really overweight.. I care about my weight, but I’m not obsessive over it and I want someone that has the same feeling.

    If trim and slender means they look like boy in the pic up there, then I am with Kristin- OUT. It’s unattractive, as are the pants that boy is wearing. I’m all about medium, since I happen to be a medium person myself. I also agree that overweight guys probably don’t take very good care of themselves. Also unattractive.

    I’m for either way. It doesn’t always mean a person is fat that they don’t take care of themselves. It’s a stereotype. I know many SKINNY guys who are just as gross and unclean as if they were stereotypically fat and nasty.

    Personality needed plzkthnx.

    I like tall (a few inches over 6 feet or taller is very attractive to me), skinny guys. They have to be athletically skinny though. Not just all bones. But I’m not really into guys with lots of muscles (although its always nice to look at) or that are overweight.

    I have liked skinny boys, muscley guys, and “squishy” guys. I care about the face more and as long as they don’t look unhealthy I’m good.

    I used to hate skinny guys because I couldn’t deal with a guy thinner than me, but he just has to be tallish to make up for it. Just don’t make me feel big!

    i like to avoid the hulk look, personally. i like limited muscles, but not to the point of an athlete. i always found athletes rather unattractive. that being said, if a guy is like a stick i dont like it. i guess im a middle-of-the-road individual.

    I think an additional category should be added of just “average”. For me, height is a really important thing. I don’t think one guy I’ve dated is below 6′. Overall, I like very tall men with average sized leaning towards somewhat slim build. But, I do not find sickly scrawny skinny attractive either.

Tell us what you're thinking...
