What Kind Of Body Type Are Most Men Attracted To? One Twitter User Conducted A Poll To Find Out

On May 1, the user @biocompound tweeted a photo of a thin girl to discuss how guys would "prefer" her body type over "the normal BMI + augmented boobs and bum."

The post was seen nearly half a million times, dividing users on the platform. "9% of men prefer this body type (can’t find the study but remember the exact number). It’s a niche," wrote @nfofifnn in the comment section.

"False," @fredgiblet added.

Luckily for the social media audience, one account was determined to find the truth. @GathererSkull posted four images on the platform (and, let's just say they're definitely intended for the male gaze) for male users to choose from. One was the thin girl, a second is of volleyball players with fit and athletic physiques, a third was of a small-waisted, curvy woman, and the last picture displayed Kim Kardashian with her alleged BBL.

Unfortunately, the titles given to these options are objectifying, but we will go over them for educational purposes. Of 18,729 votes from nearly one million viewers (a relatively good sample size), 69.7% voted on the "Midsized volleyball PAWG." The first image, "90lbs gaunt elfwife," received 10.4% of the votes. Kim's "Fake thicc BBL" got 3.1%, and the "Dummy thicc TruPawg" got 16.8%.

Sorry you had to read all that – but I figured other ladies would be curious to see the answers. The problem is, Twitter does a great job of keeping users in an echo chamber. The tweet would have needed to go viral to get a better sample size. That, unfortunately, did not happen, but the results are still impressive. The verdict? It seems like the majority of men gravitate toward women in the healthy weight range!
