The rest I am not going into as that is a whole other can of worms in my psyche!

Having said that however I’m not going to be silly enough to say “Oh I much prefer woman with a bit of meat on them, something to hold onto and all”, because I believe that whatever you’re shaped with is what you’ve got to work with.
I spent years in high school trying to work out how the footy boys were so tall and hairless and muscular and Australian, while I was this robust hairy type.
Anyway – my thinking is that you should be happy with what you’ve got, and if you’re not there are some pretty simple ways to change it (diet and excercise and other crazy things like that).
