I think a toned, lightly tanned back on a woman is a sexy feature. Also toned and tanned arms, and... oh screw it, men really got the fuzzy end of the lollipop when it comes to body aesthetics!
This brought back such a memory...
When I was nineteen, I worked at Marine World Africa USA, a theme park close to my home. When people asked me what I did there, I always said I trained the orcas, but in truth, I worked in one of the fast food restaurants, taking orders and serving various hamburgers, fries and soft drinks. I worked the main restaurant, which was where the employees came to get their discounted lunches and I frequently worked the employee window.
One day, this guy walked in, wearing a sleeveless black wetsuit. He was one of the park divers, in charge of cleaning out the dolphin and other tanks. He walked up to my window and all I could focus on were the most gorgeous sunburnt shoulders I had ever seen in my life. The rest of him was quite pretty as well, but those shoulders!! They were glorious!
Later, I told him that I fell in love with him because of his shoulders. Oh yes, we fell in love , a true summer romance: sweet and messy and life altering. With one particular residual effect: a set of well toned, sunburnt shoulders still makes me go rrrrowrrr!!

I inspired a post? Excellent!
Part credit for the funny line (the fuzzy end of the lollipop) goes to the writers of "The West Wing" - it's a Josh line :D
I started typing an explanation of what I meant, but realised that I'd rather make my point in my Blog.
I do get the shoulder thing though. I think for me it might be more a back thing. Except if it's hairy. Or a hairy chest. Ooh, CSI quote!
"Well I like a hairy chest, but I'm not about to bop a 6 foot weasel" ~ Catherine Willows ("ep "Fur And Loathing").
Excellent episode, that one.
Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century with my skin. A porcelin doll in an era of sun-worshippers. But then I think of all the modern amenities I'd be missing out on: indoor plumbing, air conditioning, electricity, tampons...then I don't care so much.
I've found the exception that proves the rule. A man so gorgeous (in face and "oh my" in the nude) that I concede God made an exception.
Romain Duris. Buck nekkid at the start of "Pot Luck" (original title "L'Auberge Espagnol", we see him from the side, and then we see a full back shot later in the film.
I was drooling.
However, Romain aside, I still think women's bodies are better looking than men's. As a rule.
Mikey had/has those muscular shoulders and the first time he took off his shirt I knew I would marry him. He does have a hairy chest, but I kinda like it...not hairy backs though and that seems to happen to a lot of men as they age. The hair falls off of their head and grows down their back.
