there are 3 types. not 2.
1 is fatter by nature (endomorph), 1 is muscular by nature(mesomorph), 1 is skinny by nature(ectomorph).
you can be a combination of any 3 also.
endomorph is sucky it is the most gay, it means your prone to being a fatass muscle does not come easy, fat comes easy.
mesomorph is a body of the gods, muscle comes very easy, even if you don't go to the gym, its like you were born to be muscular, fat stays off very easy.
ectomorph, aka skinny man syndrome, you are never going to be fat, but you are going to have to work your skinny ass off in the gym for 10 years just to look half decent with some muscles.
I do know what I'm talking about. Just because I didn't mention mesomorphs doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. Mesomorphs are the holy grail of body types (muscular build with moderate fat, and easy ability to add muscle mass).
I think most woman would go for a 5' 8" mesomorph over a 6' 2" ectomorph (unless the ecto tries EXTREMELY hard to work out).
The point being that looks, body type, and height are multi-dimensional. Height should not be the only consideration, because body type (meso, endo, ecto) and height have some relation, and body type is also extremely important to aesthetics and physical performance. I'd rather by an average height mesomorph than a tall ectomorph who has trouble packing on muscle. I'm a meso-ecto (somewhere between the two)
I think that endomorph might have been a poor example because it has the association with being "fat", but like I mentioned, there are some benefits to that body type (more of a meso-endo hybrid), such as strength, being stocky, and having big bones.
