For the ladies: How important is it for you that a guy be in shape?

By in shape I mean:

1) not fat

2) toned

3) to the point where he does not get winded, walking up a few flights of stairs, going for a walk in the park etc.

4) some muscel definition

etc

In other words, the kind of guy anyone would look at and say to themselves: "He definitly works out."

I don't mean someone who wins body-building competitions on a regular basis, just someone in very good shape.

Thanks ladies!!!!

    This is going to sound really shallow, and in no way do I mean to make it sound shallow, but yeah, a guy being in shape is important to me. I mean, it shows me that he cares about himself enough to want to look the best he can, and that he physically can do it. It tells me he's not lazy, and that he has some sort of motivation. Also, for me, I'm active myself, so I need someone who's going to be active with me. I can't have a guy sit around on a couch all day and not do anything because he's lazy. That just doesn't fit my lifestyle.

    I like men to be able to go out for a walk with me. Or go hiking.

    They can have meat, but the less "man boobs" the better.

    Eat healthy and running/some other cardio is a good way of maintenancing your body.

    It's fairly important--a nice bod on a guy is sexy, but better a nice guy who's not in perfect shape than a Mr. 6 Pack Abs who's a complete jerk. That having been said, I'm not willing to date a guy who is obese, no matter how nice he might be.

    I see guys with big muscles and most women are turned on by it but it doesn't really turn me on. I would like to have a guy that is shape but it doesn't mean he has to have a six pack. I am fine with a guy that has a little bit of a gut I think it can be kinda sexy. You don't have to be muscular to be in shape.

    he needs to be in ok shape, not an abercrombie model and a little fat is ok but i nice face is a must if he is a little chunky

    and he has to dress to fit a larger frame

    a guy with a hot body is fun but if he is a jackass it won't last long

    If it's just an extra 10-15 pounds he needs to lose...then no it's not important.

    As long as you love the person it shouldn't matter how toned they are. Just as long and he treats you right it's all good. If a guy does have some buldge it's ok, just not super fat, cuz thats just not healthy.

  • ok,

    its definately a plus if a guy has...er... a nice body. but to me, if 10 is a must and 1 is 'i dont care' probably a 3.

    short answer but i hope it's helped.

    semi-important. I don't want someone who's lazy and not active. But some stockier guys are attractive too, its important to me what their personality is like.
