We have stereotypical expectations of these looks - they are probably programmed in from a young age, really. Think about it... in Hollywood, who's the dependable type, the nice guy (or gal)? The boy next door look, the loveable schlub. Who's having all the irresponsible (and hot) sex? The muscley one. When we're looking for a partner and not just some sex, we look at a broader picture, just like men. I'm not a physically perfect specimen, but Q wants me anyway - he wanted a partner, not a toy. But if he were out at a club (ok, stop laughing, it could happen!), what kind of girl do you think would get all the attention?
It's all in how we advertise ourselves. And a man who's bothered to get muscley is advertising.
