Of course, I'll admit I prefer my women fit with a pretty face, but I don't think that's shallow; that's normal. My idea of fit doesn't mean perfectly tight and toned either. People aren't meant to be stacked with six-packs and lacking even an ounce of fat. My g/f complains about her slight belly at times (fer crissakes, ya don't even notice unless ya look carefully), but I think it's sexy. Concave stomachs don't do anything for me! I prefer for bodies to be in good proportion. Ladies would probably agree that having a bust too large for your frame isn't fun.

Fortunately for me, my g/f likes her men tall, robust, and doesn't like em skinny. I have gotten a bit overweight lately with all the studying and desk-jockying of late, but I got some exercise videos from home and what's left of my weight set (dad, the jerk, sold the rest when I wasn't looking). I shall remedy my girth for myself and for her aesthetic pleasure in short order.

Nothing wrong with a slight gut, but if you start to move toward beer-belly range you should fix that for your own comfort and health if nothing else. Not to mention the self-esteem benefits it provides for most folks. Myself, I'm pretty comfortable with who I am, but I prefer to look my best and I also sleep better when I'm not as large. Oh yeah, the bum knee doesn't like the extra padding much either.
