I know that but i was talking about the supposed ideal type of body that women want.
There is no one type.
I have several female friends who strongly prefer tall, skinny guys. Yes, skinny. Not built. Think Janet near the beginning of RHPS: "I don't like men with too many muscles."
I've known women who like big, bulky guys and prefer a football player's build (running backs, presumably, not linebackers). I've known others who are only into legs and prefer soccer players or bikers (we're not talking motorcycles here). Some prefer basketball players. Some, gymnasts. Some, yes, swimmers.
I've known women who prefer men to be much taller than they are.
I've known women who prefer short men. Bearded men. Bald/-ing men.
Yes, there are women who like big, muscular guys. Not all of them. And they certainly don't agree on which muscles they prefer to have extra-large.
So if someone is surveying a thousand or more women on their preferences for male body types, they'll need to average the results and NOT just take the result that has the most votes. The whole survey idea is pretty stupid anyway, as I said earlier. If the guy onscreen is sweet and nice and charming and articulate, his exact build and even his looks won't matter as much as SatEl suggests the moviemakers think is important.
Not that we'd turn down some great screen views of an on-screen hunk, of course. But watching brainless eye-candy isn't nearly as much fun - as appealing, shall we say - as watching someone with all of those other qualities but less than an "ideal" build.
