ideal male body/physique in and out of spandex

what is peak male aesthetics in terms of body/physique in spandex, and out of spandex (naked)? for many, it might be the same exact answer, but for others, there might be a different answer dependent on if it's one or the other for example, imo, the ideal male physique naked, is something like Brad Pitt in Fight Club, good size, but not too large, shredded, balanced and proportioned muscle however, in spandex, my absolute favorite body type is a slim upper body with mild muscle mass and a muscular lower body with some thickness to it

> in spandex, my absolute favorite body type is a slim upper body with mild muscle mass and a muscular lower body with some thickness to it So, a cyclist/speed skater? This is a great question, BTW. I'm with you on the "in spandex" side, but naked I'd prefer a much more androgynous look or even femboyish

hmmm, i thought there'd be way more replies to this topic than 0 replies!! (edit: i got one reply while i was typing this, yay!) well, i'll answer on behalf of you all judging from the most popular pics on this site, i do see a pattern of popularity in certain features these are the physical traits i've observed as being popular: >low body fat % >popping cut abdominal muscles >pecs (though this one doesn't seem to be a requirement) >slim waist >average male/masculine shoulder/waist/hip ratio (the golden range actually looks closer to average than anything overly masculine or overly feminine) >bonus for curvaceous butt + slim waist combo >if skin is showing, then vascularity is big, visible veins on forearms and hands on a related side note, here are popular traits of pics that aren't related to body type:   >fully erect penis in pic >penis size, clearly bigger gets more votes >high image quality/definition >good lighting >degree of shimmer on spandex >presence of clear cut jawline >if face is shown, then the standard types of attractive faces are obviously going to attract the standard mob of attention >good pose >and i know there's some agism going on, but i guess that's natural and understandable, the same exact pic (showing body only) will get more up votes if the profile displays a younger age, you know it's true, just keeping it real, and i ain't happy about it but what can i do lol it is what it is

ah interesting, i see from your profile that you're straight, so the preference for femboys makes sense, because your general preference aesthetically is likely for the feminine or androgynous as for me, hmmm, if i were to give an example of the ideal lower body in spandex, i'd vote for... hmmmm Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 4, THAT lower body, with something like 25% reduction in upper body muscle mass

Rather than text, let me use American actor Justin Hartley as my example of ideal male physique. He stars in current weekly USA TV series, "TRACKER" playing Colter Shaw (finding missing people).

Generally, my favourite part of a man’s body will always be his pecs. In spandex, I think of track cyclists like Chris Hoy, though the biggest turn on for me was Craig MacLean who had the muscular upper body but also huge arse I dream of. Nothing hotter than a thicc butt in cycling gear 🥵

    Agreed indeed. While we all have favorite muscle fettishes like pecs & glutes, the best beauty is an over all balanced physique. Craig Maclean is a spectacular specimen of Total Wow, body magnificent masculinity.      A waist divide, with only great above, or great below is common. Same is true for one feature. The guy who has it all is most admired, an elite, most rare HUNK!
