How about same sex (from a lady)? Shakira.

tinyfaery's avatar

No such thing. I have varied tastes.

I love some meat on thier bones. It makes them feel like a big pillow. Ahh so nice..

average.

gottamakeart's avatar

I’d have to say good muscle tone and not too hairy is a good start…...

I think men are supposed to have a Shoulder-to-Hip Ratio of >1.0, and women are supposed to have a Waist-to-Hip Ratio of < 1.0, and both sexes are supposed to not fluctuate too much from bilateral symmetry.

On a guy:
Tall- 6’1–6’5
Muscular- Hardly any body fat
Big hands and feet
Nice posture- Think male dancer (ballet, contemporary, etc.)
Can a mention the penis? No? ok

On a lady:
Average height- 5’4–5’8
Soft, plump breasts (34D) and ass
Lower than normal hip to waist ratio (.5— .65)
Small hands and feet
Slightly toned body, overall
Good posture as well

@Facade that last unmentioned male detail, lets just say “not like an acorn” never looks OK.

dpworkin's avatar

@Facade Have you ever seen a woman with a .5 WHR? I have, and it is quite bizarre. Such a figure would be a real outlier. A survey of 300 Playboy Bunnies and 121 Film Actresses showed a mean WHR of .68.

Facade's avatar

@gottamakeart I’m gonna need more than that lol
@pdworkin Mine is .66 .64 (just calculated) and I’m not even in shape. I’ve seen it, and I like it sue me :P
And playboy bunnies don’t butter my biscuit at all btw

It’s hard to say; I have been attracted to plenty of different body types, but usually it’s similar to what my current boyfriend’s body is like. He’s not that muscular, no six-pack or anything, but he’s thin and athletic. He’s also not that tall, around 5’7”, and other than that, I don’t have too many preferences as long as the person’s hair is short and my boyfriend keeps his hair very short. For me, in terms of unchangeable looks, it’s more about the face.

gemiwing's avatar

I don’t know about ideal. It really depends on personality and face more (for me anyway). I like people who don’t look like everyone else.

gottamakeart's avatar

@Facade unfortunatly, I’ve seen “acorn” on an otherwise handsome and muscular guy, he was an art model, (and he flirted with ALL my female classmates) AND he smelled like a farmyard. .... it was sad, yet, an unexpected ego-boost for me.

….I’ll just say “average” equipment is OK as long as it works and is well kept.

mclaugh's avatar

A guy:
-Tall(above 6’)
-Toned, muscular or kinda slim, “fat” guys turn me off.. sorry if that offends anyone, its just personal taste.
-Dark hair and dark/piercing eyes(I hate the whole blond hair, blue eyed thing…so overrated!)
-As for the equipment, I don’t care, as long as it’s not microscopic and he knows how to use it.

DominicX's avatar

I hate the whole blond hair, blue eyed thing…so overrated!

Yeah, well, overrated things are usually pretty good to begin with—that’s why so many people like them. ^_^

blond haired/blue-eyed guy here

mclaugh's avatar

awwh sorry, im not saying its not attractive, im just saying thats not my usual type. lol. im sure youre super hot! :)

filmfann's avatar

Rachael Weisz It helps that she looks exactly like my wife when we married.

fireinthepriory's avatar

I have a hard time with coming up with an ideal but here goes…

For a woman, about my height (5’4”), with a well-proportioned hourglass body. Nicely shaped legs, ass and shoulders… with a little bit of muscle. (And not too skinny!) I prefer smallish breasts to really big ones, like a B cup would be ideal I suppose. I am also particularly attracted to redheads.

For a man, uh, slightly taller than me… and… I don’t know. Average size, not too muscular or too skinny… Huh. I can’t think of what else would be attractive to me. I don’t find many men attractive for their bodies. Especially not blonde men. Can’t get past that… No offense, @DominicX! Course, I don’t think we’d date anyway, since – damn – can you tell I’m pretty gay here or what? Oh, and I’m pretty sure you are, too. ;)

And in conclusion, basically none of this actually matters to me, not in a significant way anyhow. I’m mostly attracted to personalities. The body is all gravy.

Edited to add: I forgot! No chest/back/etc hair on my ideal guy. I find dark and thick body hair to be icky. Yep, should probably stick with the ladies, huh?

holden's avatar

My perfect man: around 6’ 2”, 220 – 240 lbs, brunette, deep green eyes, hairy ass and chest, thick, auburn sunburst beard, caucasian, freckles on shoulders and back. Russian and Scotish flavors.

dpworkin's avatar

Are these people we are discussing, or paraphilia?

pinkparaluies's avatar

I saw such a person shopping today.
Probably 6’1. Lean muscle. :)

Facade's avatar

I’d like to add “well- groomed” to my list. Yep, pretty picky

ubersiren's avatar

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. drool

wundayatta's avatar

Ah, so many perfect bodies! Different skin colors, different face shapes, different eyes. I’m not very imaginative. Long legs, hourglass figure, very firm muscle tone, high cheek bones, luscious lips, eyes that show passion and interest, a low, sexy voice. I think I like bigger breasts, but not too big. They should stand out firmly and be enough to grab a handful. The more sensitive the better. Same is true for her pussy: easily stimulated, prominent labia, plenty of folds and creases to tease—sensitive, but not too sensitive.

If the women are going to comment on our apparatus, then I certainly am not losing the opportunity to comment on theirs!

I almost had her once, but I couldn’t hold on.

RedPowerLady's avatar

I just popped in to see if anyone would list something other than the typical media-portrayed norm. Hmm…

Like anyone prefer big or voluptuous women over stick skinny women?

Or anyone prefer plump men to skinny men?

Perhaps someone prefers women with really really short hair?

You know those type of things.

casheroo's avatar

My tastes vary greatly. Honestly, personality has much more to do with it.

dpworkin's avatar

I’m crazy about my middle-aged, plump, short girlfriend.

pinkparaluies's avatar

This wth ratio thing is amazing. Mine is .78

eupatorium's avatar

@pinkparaluies, hip measurement… when you’re trying to find that, does that refer to the widest part? Waist is easy, but I’ve never been sure what the ‘hip’ measurement refers to exactly..

As for the question… on the surface, I like the typical, lean, tall, muscular. However, when it comes down to really liking someone, I tend to like really quirky guys. My friends are always like really? But that has more to do with personality. They tend to be average-looking.

Facade's avatar

I thought we were only talking about the body, not the personality…

casheroo's avatar

@Facade For some, at least for me, personality makes a person attractive..not just the body itself. I find many different types of men attractive, but no certain “type”

nxknxk's avatar

What @DominicX said.

And though I’m not at all picky when it comes to hair color, something about short, dark hair just kills me.

Jack79's avatar

Same sex? Bold, really really fat guy with 3 arms and one leg, hopefully stinks and has most of his teeth missing. If only there were more of these guys, there would be more women for the rest of us :)

Opposite? Shakira sounds nice, generally curvier than the average model. Monica Belucci, Angelina Jolie, Hollywood is full of examples.

asmonet's avatar

Skinny enough you kinda wonder if he forgets to eat.
But defined enough that a thin shirt shows what he does have off.
Also, lankiness. I like long legs and arms. If a cave man could have the best weapon in the land using your femur, I’d do ya.

If I’m going chicks, I’m a big fan of hip bones and shoulders.

Adagio's avatar

If we are talking about our own bodies, a healthy, ambulant body would do me just fine thank you very much.

Facade's avatar

@casheroo Yes, personality adds in attraction, but that’s not what the OP is asking for. Do you see what I mean?

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

Nobody’s body is perfect. Unless you’re looking at an airbrushed picture of a model. But personally I like a slightly toned body on a man. Too muscular grosses me out. I also prefer dark hair, dark eyes. I tend not to like blonde hair, blue eyes.

DominicX's avatar

Man, lots of blond-hate goin’ on today… :(

I don’t seem to have much of a preference in terms of hair/eye color. My boyfriend has light brown hair and green eyes. Perfect combination for me, but I’ve been attracted to many different hair/eye color combinations.

gailcalled's avatar

My SO is perfect; 11 lbs, sleek, springy, very little body fat, enough white hair so I can see the Lyme ticks and a perfect 14” 14” 14”. He likes to be active when I am and also shares the need, when possible, for a short afternoon nap.

He eats the cluster flies on my windows, provides free heat, likes to snuggle (sometimes) and needs only one cashmere sweater to lounge on.

RedPowerLady's avatar

@gailcalled Hey you got me there until I figured that out :) I didn’t read the last paragraph and was confused for quite a long second. LOL

gailcalled's avatar

@RedPowerLady: This is one way of deconstructing a question that I think is silly of minor interest.

eponymoushipster's avatar

I like a lady who doesn’t crap her depends. – Gus

Dr_C's avatar

The deschanel sisters, and of course Allison Stokke.

Also a fan of Shakira and Bar Rafaeli. Not to mention Stephanie Seymour.

RedPowerLady's avatar

@gailcalled good call, i’m all for deconstructing this one

Facade's avatar

@gailcalled How very respectful and mature of you.

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

@DominicX Awe I’m sorry. I still lurve you!

DrBill's avatar

I like mine short, no more than 5’2”

gottamakeart's avatar

I do have one male celeb I’m just fixated on lately “Francois Sagat” : French Pornstar/Artist has a tattoo on his head. Can’t get enough of him.

Allie's avatar

@Dr_C Hey, woah, that Stokke is pretty hot. Not gonna lie.

I like men. I like tall men (taller than 5’10’’ because I’m 5’9’’). I like light eyes. Light hair versus dark hair – I don’t really care. I’m not into a lot of muscles. A toned body is nice, but muscle men don’t turn me on. I like a guy who has short/mediumish hair… so I can run my fingers through it and play with it. I’m a huge fan of nice shoulders, arms, and hands. I like broad shoulders, strong arms, and not-stubby fingers.

Mmmm… and I like this man.

Jude's avatar

When talking about men; I like ‘em pretty. Gael García Bernal ain’t too shabby. Not overly muscular, pretty eyes—yeah, that’ll do.

asmonet's avatar

@DominicX: It’s cool, dude. We’ll be blonde and fabulous together and we won’t let them in our beautiful club.

MacBean's avatar

Women: Something like this or this

Men: This.

I’ll look at anything because I think the human body is awesome and fascinating. But those pictures represent what I like to have to work with.

asmonet's avatar

@MacBean: You got love for the chub wubs!

…Me too.

MacBean's avatar

@asmonet: Well, playtime stops being fun when the toys get broken!

asmonet's avatar

Love it, and you.

jrpowell's avatar

She (probably not safe for work) would be about ideal.

casheroo's avatar

where’s the love for the small boobie girls?

asmonet's avatar

Oh! @johnpowell reminded me.

I pretty much think Buddy Holly is my ideal fuck.

I do not want to delve too deeply into that. I like guitar playing, nerdy, lanky boys wearing glasses.

I want them to fix my computer, write me a song and then let me fog up their four eyes.

Jude's avatar

I like small boobs and a nice arse/hips on a laydee.

deni's avatar

5’8” – 5’10”. Thin, not lanky but lean. Still strong enough though…nice arms. Oh god arms are so important.

this makes me long for my jew, who is too far away from me right now :(

asmonet's avatar

lurve for your jew.

DominicX's avatar

@ItalianPrincess1217 Aww, I know you do. :)

@asmonet And it will be the most awesomest club ever. :D

asmonet's avatar

high five.

jrpowell's avatar

I kinda look like Buddy Holly.

eponymoushipster's avatar

Gus is my way of dealing with an answer that is silly not ideal.

asmonet's avatar

@johnpowell: Why do you think you reminded me, tiger?

rawr.

mattbrowne's avatar

My idea of a perfect body is an imperfect body with a person inside who is full of charm and smiles and self esteem.

Of course there are scientific findings and they have to do with our evolutionary heritage. But our rational mind can overwrite them.

dooj's avatar

The perfect body is one that makes me happy that I love my woman.
