Everyone will have a different answer, I know, but... what type of body do you girls like in an 18 year old lad? As in skinny, slim and toned, bulky or lots of softness? I'm doing a bit of weight training to get biger and just wondered what people find attractive :)

Getting bigger is always good, it shouldn't be too much though. A natural atheletic body is good. Let's say for example a swimmer / Michael Phelps type body. I'm working on it and get checked out by pretty females a lot more than I used to.

PerhapsNot agony auntI am a woman and I'll be very blunt with you here. Most women like tall men with a decent amount of muscle of their bodies. Sure there are some females that prefer the sight of a slimmer man, but those women are in the minority. Most women like to see broad shoulders that taper down to that perfect V-shaped waist, muscles and abs. Luckily for men, women aren't as shallow when it comes to looks. If I were you though, focus on working out and eating healthy. It should not only cover a healthy, over all appearance, but it will go miles for your health.

Tyedyedturtle agony auntI don't like super toned guys. I find lots of muscles to be unattractive. I find skinnier men very hot, but I also really like averaged size men. My current boyfriend is average with slim arms and legs. His tummy has just the slightest bit of cushion. I find him sexy and adorable just as he is and love snuggling with him, lying my head on his soft tummy. He is so comfortable and lovable. Bottom line: you don't have to be a textbook definition of Adonis to attract a woman. There is a woman out there who will love you exactly as you are and you will be her personal Adonis, with or without the muscles. Just be you and let your personality shine! Sounds cliche but it is true. I put more weight in a good sense of humor and a sharp intellect than stellar model looks any day! :)

VSAddict agony auntI like a guy with muscles. He doesn't have to have abs or a flat chest, but I like that. I prefer any size guy that's not too fat or obese. But maybe I'm that way because I m more into personality, but the looks still matter to me in some way.

Odds agony auntThere are chicks who dig skinny guy, chicks who dig bodybuilders, and everything in between, but I have yet to meet a woman who won't absolutely melt for a toned butt, toned abs, and a V-shaped torso (best viewed from behind).

Focus on getting your bodyfat % to the 10-12% range, if you can. That's mostly diet, but exercise is important too. Most of looking good is about tone, not about bulk.

Body types per definition aren't as important as the way you look after yourself. Any woman is happy as long as you keep healthy, work out (no need for extremes, just the regulars to stay healthy and fit), and are stronger than her.

Xx-Scorpio-xX agony auntEveryone has personal preferences but for me personally I like slim-ish but i think a little tummy is adorable and a lot more comfy to cuddle! :D I don't particuarly like muscles though most of my friends like guys who are fairly toned.

Love_is_all_youu_need agony auntMe personally, I prefer a man to have broad shoulders and be fairly toned.

But to be honest, there is no need to change your appearance for the sake of attracting women! Be happy as you are :)

So_Very_Confused agony auntyou do realize that everyone finds something else attractive.

I do not like uber skinny or very muscled guys. Other women want that body builder look... there is no set look that folks like

A male reader, serenity80 United Kingdom +, writes (12 August 2011):

Depends on the girl. Some girls go for the slim/skinny guy, some like average, some like some muscle - some like tall guys. In my experience it's been much better to have some extra muscle to show you that you work out and take care of your body. e.g., defined biceps/triceps, neck (traps), biceps chests and shoulders. The pinnacle is showing you look after your body by having a defined six pack.
