Which Type of Fit Man Attracts You?

A new study has found that women are more physically attracted to brawny men, especially for a fling. But when it comes to finding a long-term partner, they tend to pick a regular man over a mate with huge biceps.

So I am curious: In general are you more attracted to a man with a chiseled bod (Matthew McConaughey), or one who is more average (Matthew Perry)?

    definitely the average man. i feel like men who are way too chiseled and muscular must have too much time on their hands and they're spending it at the gym.

    I've dated both kinds, and yeah the Heman type is nice to look at, and have as arm candy, but the ones I dated were high maintenance and always concerned about looks, which included how I looked too. Average guys care more about substance than surface. My two cents.

    Sorry can't take a man seriously, when he goes running in Converse. He is going to need a hip replacement in 5 years at the rate. Real attractive.

    this is so unfair cuz perry doesnt compaer to mcconaughey! if it were two average guys such as Jake Gylenhall vs. Ryan Phillipe maybe i could choose. but i dont like either of the options so none.
    i like the average guy who doesnt take himself too seriously, but still works out cuz he wants to, not cuz hes trying to hard.

    i voted average man, cuz that's what i married. but, truthfully, i'd like something inbetween average and muscle. some definition is great, but i also like a guy who's not afraid to have a little soft belly.

    running in converse...WITHOUT shoelaces? I voted for average man...but I wouldn't go for "totally clueless when it comes to exercising man" as matthew perry appears to be.

    I like my guys to be in shape but not Super Muscle Man. That sort of freaks me out.

    Clearly the McConaughey type is going to spend a lot more time with the treadmill and weight machines than he will with me, so it's Perry-type all the way.

    Eventhough Muscle Man may provide security, I still think Average Man is much more better.

    OMG, I totally laughed at poor Matthew Perry with his white little legs and the I feel like I'm going to die look on his face. He is so cute!

    Average looking guy--gotta figure he'd spend some of his free time on interests other than his looks, and eye candy looses its lure once you want a conversation. I definitely like a guy who takes care of himself and doesn't engage in risky/illicit behavior, but he can't be too into appearance.

    I'm with rachelbojangles, tall, lean/medium build, with slight muscles = total hottie in my eyes. ^_~*
    Neither of the two males above are really attractive to me. *shrug*

    To look at- Matt M. To talk to Matt P.

    I see nothing wrong with a guy who is into fitness as much as I am, but agree that someone too into himself isn't attractive.

    neither!!! I like the medium toned man, I mean he has to be toned, I like a flat belly, but these muscle mans gross me out!

    i voted for average (with a little tone, if that were an option) . . . into fitness enough to not be a blob, but not so much that he'd rather be at the gym than with me!

    Matt Mc's abs scare me so Perry every time. I can picture myself running next to Perry and having fun while just looking at Mc would tire me.

    Ewww, the guy on the right isn't attractive, he looks fat and ugly in that picture. Maybe in a different pic, he would look better.
    I hate the bodies of people who aspire to be bodybuilders, the ones with way too much muscle. Bodybuilders aren't attractive, only the women can look half good. The average man is fine for me, just not the one in the pic.

    I do not feel this is a fair choice. The average guy should of been someone different. It doesn't matter to me I am attracted to different kinds of men. Some may be average or muscled that is not what I look at. That is just a lagniappe of the package.

    I don't care for MM anyway, but knowing the guy is more fit than me can be intimidating and I personally don't feel the need to go all fitness crazy with him. The average guy is more my type. And big muscles scare me.

    Of those two options, something in between. My husband's very fit and has nice muscle definition, but not so much that it looks like he spends all his time at the gym. I'm not attracted to guys who overdo it in either direction.

    I prefer healthy over anything. I have dated the athlete, the skin and bones, and the slightly pudgey. Right now, I love my boyfriend's body. He's healthy and not vain. He loves life and doesn't obsess over his ab definition. That's what I like.

    Between those two? Defently the average. Oh and if the average is anything like Matthew Perry, then I'm defently hanging on to him. LOL
