If given the choice - what would your ideal body be?

[Nicolette]

Of course, I'd have a XX body and be at least 5' 9" (same height as now). That means I'd be a cis-girl and in today's times I wouldn't want to be a short cis-girl. It wouldn't affect my passing now would it! I don't have a real preference in the shape department. Perhaps Cameron Diaz's body.

As we're talking pure fantasy, I'd actually prefer to be a posthuman: sans corps, pure consciousness, boundless and able to flit across the galaxy at will.

[bojangles]

Would like to have been built more like my dad...big manly arms & hands and powerful chest.
But, then I would have missed putting my tiny hands in all the right places. 

[Seyranna]

The one on the right except at 5'4

[Jennygirl]

The one on the right except at 5'4

YES

if I wasn't born with the skinny gene I would happily be a curvy lady for the rest of my life

[Alexia77]

The one on the right except at 5'4

Using that image, I'd say between the one on the right and the one in the middle. Knowing my genetics, however, I'll probably get the one on the right and I don't mind.

[Noyemi K]

I already pretty much have a body that I hope will feminize well (wide hips and thighs and a relatively narrow waist), but I wish I were shorter. I'm just around 6' and I'd rather be 5'3"-5'7". Being plumper wouldn't hurt either; I've always liked the chubby little gals with the cute faces.

[Tossu-sama]

Well...
If I had the complete freedom of choice, I wouldn't mind looking like this.
But I highly doubt I'll ever get to that kinda shape, not with this patience.

But then again, I'm one of those with the skinny gene mentioned here so it's difficult for me to gain weight or anything...
That's why I'd say my ideal body type at the moment is pretty much this.
Well, my arms aren't that faraway from that so I'm on my way there.
...Just lacking abs. Most likely forever. XD

[Lady_Oracle]

My body type is like the model on the left but with wider hips and slightly broader shoulders. Hopin hrt kills whatever muscle mass is left asap. But I'd like a more petite nose and wavy hair, instead of my crazy curls. High maintenance hair blows for a lazy person like me. Also would like my stretch marks to go away and a few scars I have. Other then that I'm pretty ok with my physique.

[Wild Flower]

But I guess I'll have to settle looking like my mother if I transistion, since that's what people say that's who I look like.

[Simon]

I like Taylor Lautner's physique but it's just a basic muscular build really.

If I could pick anyone that I'd like to look like it'd be a younger Mel Gibson. I like very masculine features.

[Sara Thomas]

... but with boobs...

[Elsa]

Ruta Gedmintas from Lip Service!

Love her look!

Used to love Alizée's look and wished that I look like her - then I realized that she doesn't match my personality and I wouldn't wanna look like her...
I still find her attractive though.

[John Smith]

I'm torn. Part of me would love to be tall and thin, another part of me would love to be shorter and slightly muscular. Either way, I'd love to be a little taller than I am, and not fat. XD At least I can work on the "not fat"-part.

[Ribbons]

5'7 to 5'9 and fat. Not over 250 but still large.

The cute, chubby guy type.

[Ms.Behavin]

Oh, just 30 years younger wound do just fine....

[A]

Good afternoon guys and dolls (and Regina),

If given the choice to have any body you wanted - what would your ideal body be?

What would you look like?
Cute, childlike and innocent, yet elegant. Though even though I admire elegance, too much of it doesn't feel like me. If I could choose, I would most probably be Asian. Eye colour isn't a big issue, hair can be dyed, and naturally super-straight hair is awesome. And most of all, little to no body hair is AWESOME in capitals.

Would you be 5'4, 6'0, or 7'0 ft. tall?
5'4, maybe a bit shorter. But I wouldn't mind being taller (but not super-tall), as long as I were thin. Thin and taller with small shoulders and all is nice too.

Would you be svelte, curvy, fat, or buff?
Svelte. I wouldn't hate to be complaining about how hard it is to gain weight, and the smallness of my breasts. Though super-thin with no breasts at all, that would be too much.

Delicate bone structure or larger, well-made bone structure?
Delicate, whaddya think? I'm not into extreme things, so I don't have the slightest use for large bones anyway. I don't ever do anything that could have the slightest chance of breaking them.

Big features or small features?
Small. Well, large eyes are good. :p

And so on. Describe in your own words what your choice body would be. Is there a celebrity whose body closely matches your ideal? Or anything to provide a good visual of your description?
All genders please participate.
Anime characters are a pretty good description, hehe.

I already predict half the answers (especially from the ladies) will be 'It doesn't matter, so long as it's a genetic body of my target gender.'
Actually, whether I'd prefer to be a genetic female with masculine features or a really girly-featured male is up to debate in my mind.

But if given a choice, would you really choose 'Random' - whatever body Nature happens to pull out of the pond on your turn?
No.

Or would you select the body you feel best suits you? Or even the one you would love to have?
Of course. Though I would probably leave some parameters random if allowed to. Eye colour for example.

Detailed answers are much preferred.
I've dreamed of having a delicate, cute body all my life. Maybe even as much as being a girl. Though mostly they intersect.

[Adam (birkin)]

I think I'd like to be about 5'7" (I'm 5'4").

I'd like to have a head that's less rounded, and hair that didn't get so bunched up in the back when it gets long.

I think that's pretty much it though. Well, no chest and a penis would be nice too of course, but those (the height and my head shape) are just the superficial things I'd want changed.

[Kevin Peña]

and a rounder butt

Sprinting, bike riding, vinyasa yoga, or lower body weight training. Take your pick. 

[ErinG]

Rose Rollins aka "Tasha" from The L Word

I'd love a body similar to her's, sexy yet strong/ functional

[Emily Aster]

Aside from actually being physically female, I'd like to be a bit shorter. Not too much. Maybe 5'5". Wearing heels right now it a bit of a nuisance because even the smallest ones make me feel like I'm going to hit my head on the doorframe everytime I try to walk through.
