Give me muscle any day over a very thin gaunt appearance.
To me, its kinda strange (granted this is coming from a BB'er so its not as if my perception of the human body is anything close to "normal") that a body which looks quite frail and does not *look* (I am sure some of the VS models are pretty tough) like would not support survival in any environment much tougher than a ritzy mall would come across as so attractive.
This is not to say that they are not attractive. Some of them are down right delectible, but I guess I'm a bit like a woman in a sense, when it comes to what attracts me. When I see a female physique that is muscular, I see a strength (physical and mental) that is MUCH more attractive than a thin one. Seemt like from a darwinistic standpoint, this is what a woman should look like - strong-willed which manifests in her fitness.
OK, nuff of that. The VS women are hot, but, IMHO, there are many MUCH hotter (just really thinking physically now) women who post here, for instance, or who you could find at your average health club.
