I like my men lean but not overly built. I'm not a fan of very muscly men because I find that intimidating. Though most men could probably overpower me if they tried, I don't want one who looks like he could crush my foot if he accidentally stepped on it. I think I know why I don't like men that are overly built. Because they look like "animals". I'm sorry but something about that first pic reminds me of a butcher's chart of where the prime beef cuts are! I prefer guys a little leaner because they "seem" (totally psychological I know) a little more sensitive and less menacing. But yes I know that there's plenty of big guys out there who just want a cuddle!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
