Ideal Woman (Hollywood especially): physically fit

I have to say that my ideal tastes have changed since I have been dating my girlfriend. She is a martial artist and former gymnast. She is a workout freak. I have a newfound respect for the in shape women of Hollywood. Does anyone else feel that they are more attracted to women who are physically fit? I am to the point where I actually am not that in to thin women. There is a certain amount of muscle mass then I definitely find attractive. There is also more respect from me in that regards. Anyway. How do you feel about inshape women? Preferred? No? What?

I like a variety but when they start going over 200 LBS less is better.

I have always been more attracted to physically fit women. I think most men agree on that and have for a long time. Simply walk into a strip club and pay attention to which girls get the most tips or are viewed as the most attractive, they are typically the most fit women in the club. The tall ultra skinny super model look generally appeals more to other women than men. Modeling is geared more to a woman's ideal of beauty, where porn/strip clubs are selected more to what men find attractive. This is a generalization of course and there are people all over the spectrum as to what they consider beautiful.

Part of the problem with that statement is that many with the "ideal" beauty, Hollywood especially, are not physically fit. Even more so among models. They have diets that make their bodies too thin, since the camera supposedly adds pounds. It is that ideal that is the major source of many of the eating disorders we see today.

As to the earlier comment of over 200 lb, less is better, while certainly entitled to their opinion, I have found women over 200, but fit and trim (by this I mean no flab. There are likely still plenty of curves) are hella lot more attractive than ones under that but with flabs or rolls. This of course exempts those who are over because they are like 6 foot something. They are going to be close to 200 no matter what.

Skinny is good, fit is better but not bodybuilder fit. Hollywood fit is rather hard to maintain without extreme discipline.

I like me a nice curvy girl who you can literally hold on to and then eat a good hearty dinner with.
