Im not an expert on muscular body types but after so much interest on another poll I did, I wanted to get a bit more information. It seems a lot of people like fit/muscular women but the range is quite broad in what each person sees as attractive. What kind of fitness level do you like? Photo examples are encouraged :)

Kinda difficult to know exactly what you're referring to in some of your options. Perhaps some visuals would help distinguish them from each other?

But based on your descriptions and going off what I interpret or imagine them to be from my own perspective, I can dig everything except Body Builder and Ms/Mrs Universe.

My ideal preference is probably(?) something more than Lightly Toned and less than Seriously Fit, but again, it's difficult to be exact without some kind of visual reference since our definitions of these might differ.

I think this kinda only has 2 options, fit and bodybuilder. and lacks the typical model girl who only starves herself (no muscle definition).

fit ftw!

There's a big difference between art and reality.
In reality I'd prefer them as fit.
Only in art can I find someone like the Amazon in Dragon's Crown hot. (And I do.)
To me it's the act of taking something I don't like in real life and making it hot that makes it great.

To me the most immediate turn-off is not the size of the muscles but rather the shape of the breasts at least as far as your typical "muscle girl" search on a porn site is concerned. A lot of muscular ladies look like they barely glued two hemispheres to their chest with this sharp edge like they're about to pop off. Visible blood vessels and the extreme bulk end of bodybuilding (the type of stuff which is called "hyper muscle" for drawn art) are also a clear no-no. Below that it's more a matter of context, overall body shape and so on.

Good tone, good definition, not too bulky, not "shredded", and not vascular(i.e., veiny). Retaining some softness and having breasts that don't look cartoonish or bolted on. Smaller is fine.

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

Whatever bellow body building type. Not especially because of the muscles, but because I prefer my girls to not try hard to looks like a man. And, due to the fat reduction, it's what tend too happen when a woman try too hard to be fit or pure muscles.
Plus, there's something missing in your list, that focus exclusively on fitness, and not on the effective muscularity. Look at sport women by example, most of them have as much muscles than a body builder girl, but also, except for sprint and long running, more fat.


Here's a sample:
[Veronica from Pale Carnations]
I really like the game, but always have a problem with this character. I like her personality that is, with Rosalind's one, the best and deepest. But I really dislike the model, that is way too unrealistic.
She's fit without a gram of fat... except on her boobs. Not that all fit girls have to have small boobs, but with those muscles, her boobs are around twice smaller than they would be otherwise ; what obviously would make them enormous. With smaller boobs, she would have felt less weird.
Plus, her face also have too much fat in regard of her level of fitness and a little too small. But, more important, this face is also way to soft for the feeling carried by her body. In each CG where she wear the collar+bow ties, she looks like some Frankenstein's experience, where the body and head of two different persons were put together. It's, relatively speaking, common in real life to have this kind of unfitting combination, but in a game it's something that can be controlled, and therefore should be. Whatever if you decide to add imperfection to your model, to make it looks more realistic, the model should still be a coherent set, what isn't the case here, alas.

IMO it's best if the game has all types of women present. Having only muscular type or closer to plump ones (preferably something in-between) is boring so a little bit of everything is optimal IMO. The game that is best in that regard is Pale Carnations IMO: https://f95zone.to/threads/pale-carnations-ch-2-update-2-mutt-jeff.50281/

Here's a sample:

I agree about the inclusion to multiple body types. Having regular and bbw girls included makes for a good contrast aganst the FBB bodytype. If they are all muscle girls than the only way to have/ add stronger women is to power creep until you get to a body that is immersion=breakingly unrealistic.

Variety is always better if the scope allows for it but this is just nonsense. No need for a woman to be physically stronger unless you actually want a she-hulk or have a very specific story beat reliant on it. If she just needs to beat someone up then make her an active MMA fighter or something, those definitely can mop the floor with bodybuilders or marathon runners in a straight fight. And if muscular girls are the main focus then you're just diluting the content and wasting dev time on things other works deliver in better quality already.
