Well, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

As a college girl...the survey sounds about right.
Although it might sound right, personally it's not my preference.
A lot of my friends are actually guys since my major was male dominated (architecture) however I do have some lady friends.
My girlfriends have said they enjoy a guy who's in shape although it puts more pressure on them to stay in shape and feel as physically pleasing and their male counterpart which I do understand.
I worked out pretty regularly all year and consider myself to be in pretty athletic shape.
As many of you know, JStrider is my man and while we we're both very athletic in high school and still so now, myself more than him, we both like to try to stay in shape for one another as much as possible. Not to mention it helps keeps our sex life awesome as well, being fit = great sex.

Back to my point, He's not a gym monkey or a frat brother worried about impressing the sorority girls. He stays in general good shape and does not let himself go extensively.
I go to the gym more than he does, but for some unfair reason he can NOT go to the gym for weeks and hardly show at all, and if I stop going it shows within a few days. So because of that and my job, I make it more of a priority to go. I've been talked to at the gym by the body builders but they never really catch my eye. I'm happy being athletic and toned instead of conforming to impossible standards that sororities impose on their members.

So as a stereotype, I believe the bodybuilding fraternity brothers are meant to be with the thin, perfect bodied sorority girls. They both have priorities of being in shape for their stuff so go for it. I have a life outside the gym, so does James.
And I do believe that looking for someone similar to yourself is true.
James and I have a lot in common, and we get along great. We're not completely ripped but that's ok with one another however we do make sure to keep the other in check when it comes to being shape.

So as a college girl and having read the survey...I would say it's unrealistic to how life really is nowadays in school...each person has different taste, but I know for a fact some guys spend more than 4 hours every single day in the gym, not giving them enough time for a girlfriend, let alone a real relationship. Usually they view their body as #1 instead of their girlfriend.
I wouldn't want that kind of man in my life.
