Thanks girls for all your replies, they have been really interesting and refreshing.

Some of you have echoed the thoughts of my DW. I went through a stage a couple of years ago where I became dissatisfied with my 79kg body (I was starting to get a bit tubby) so in typical Rols fashion, I went all out with diet and exercise and ended up at 66kg before too long. DW said I was too skinny, and everyone else was saying the same thing (although for most of them it was no business of theirs). So I've jumped back up to about 70kg and DW is very happy.

I used to run a lot - started out to lose weight, and started competitively with a club - and running certainly strips a lot of fat and bulky muscle from you. These days I try and balance it out a bit more with running and gym work just to keep thin and a bit toned (I'm reasonably slight so I'll never be the hulk that's for sure).

It's so refreshing to see that normal women find normal guys attractive. I imagine a lot of women would be surprised to know that many guys see things the same. Why then, does the media perpetuate this stupid carry on about what constitutes an attractive body? Sometimes I read DW's magazines, and some of them say appalling things about people's bodies, particularly New Weekly.
