Man or woman, I want them to be over 6 feet tall and either skinnier than me (I'm 135 pounds) or a bit chubby.
And no washboard abs. It looks gross.
I'd definitely be inclined to go outside the box for their personality, but I draw the line at obesity.

I don't have a specific range. I don't tend to be attracted to people who are morbidly obese. I'm more concerned with whether the person allows their weight to interfere with their life than their weight in pounds. I like slender guys, but I prefer thicker girls over super-skinny girls.

That's unhealthy.

6 packs look a bit weird.

I don't like them, either.

Well, it's pretty safe to say this thread pretty much went off the rails :? To address the OP's question, I know I probably do have a preference for weight, but I can't (or choose not to) give an exact weight preference, as I don't think it should matter so long as the other person has a really good personality.

Slender guys just don't do it for me.


Dangit! Now I'll seriously have to reconsider going on that diet I had planned! :D

I don't mind 6-packs provided the chest/stomach in question is completely hairless. Fuzzy 6-packs look creepy.

A man with a well-muscled neck and shoulders usually comes with a 6-pack and it is the former that most causes the aforementioned reaction from myself.

80lb is generally only a healthy weight for girls who are 4'7" and shorter. i am sure there could be exceptions, or a person who is slightly taller than that who happens to be a bit lighter, but otherwise it could be extreme underweight.

How short would the person have to be for 80 pounds to be a healthy weight? O.o

EDIT: Nevermind, hyperlexian beat me to it. :P

He could be referring to scene type girls. Most scene type girls are very petite and short, he could be referring to those types of girls. Basically around the size in the photo below, you would be surprised, some scene girls are even slimmer.

*shudder* I know that's mean but a bikini top just isn't flattering on someone who has their bones showing. I know people under 5 feet tall that are at least 100 pounds and it works for them. I'd be worried about hurting them on accident while hugging. >.<
