If you win a mesh body, which one would you choose?

[Marianne Little]

It is a meshbody survey over at Seraphimsl, and when you complete it, you fill in your SL name and have a chance to win a mesh body of your choice.

I wonder, what would you choose, and why? It is one male and one female to win.

I start: I would take the female Legacy, since I have Maitreya Lara, Meshbody Classic (free), Slink Physique and Belleza Venus.

[Amanda Dallin]

I don't see myself changing my everyday body from Maitreya Lara but if I won one I'd choose Legacy too.

[Blush Bravin]

I wouldn't enter because I already own the only body I will use.  

[MirandaBowers]

Always have been a Maitreya user. Tried Belleza for a period of time but it just never stuck. I agree with probably wanting a legacy body. Although, I would be interested in a male body for myself to create a male avi for photo purposes.

[Janet Voxel]

I...kinda....own them all already? 
 

I tried them all, I always go back to Freya. It’s funny that that was the last of the big three I actually bought, fell in love with it instantly.

After looking at the list, I think I would try the Eve body, don’t have that one.

Looked at the list

[MrsSeren]

I think I would choose male mesh body; purely for blog purposes but if did decide to go female; it would be one of Belleza ones.

[Lillith Hapmouche]

Chance to win... haha, yeaaaah.. in ExMachina's recent "10 out of 100" raffle, I let all male alts enter day by day and none of them ever won. Lucky me.
If I had the luck to choose, probably Belleza or Signature Alice.

As for the survey, I do miss the option to name bodies not mentioned in the list, like Ruth 2.0 and that other raffle body which can take Maitreya clothing.

[ClariceRose]

I love my Maitreya but would also love Freya to use.

there's an 'other' option at the bottom of the male list where i wrote in the Roth (i think it's fair enough to define my premium account as my 'main' for the time being). he's happy enough with the Meshbody Classic for now but if i could have one for free i'm thinking probably Belleza Jake?

[Tess Falworth]

I would probably choose Legacy, as I like the look of it, but I honestly don't see my self wearing it more than I do Maitreya.. or Freya. Both of those have been my go to since forever. 

[Cougar Sangria]

I would gift it to someone else.  Won't switch mesh bodies.  Already have the best.

[Maitimo]

I wouldn't switch from the one I have (Maitreya), even if it was free. I'd probably get a Belleza Jake for my alt. 

[Jordyn McGregor]

Not that I will enter, but Legacy as I already have all the others.  My M-Alt would like a Gianni though.

[s2Pandora]

I have all the bodies I want on my main, and also some I don't care for. Would go for Belleza Freya for an alt, though.

[Cinos Field]

I also own the ones I want (Regalia, Maitreya, both Slinks) so that leaves... Probably the Belleza Freya, for photography?

 

 

Legacy would have to be more than free.

[DeepBlueJoy]

TL;DR version.  I like my Slink Physique body and I'm sticking to it. If i ever had to change, it would be ebody, b/c both of these bodies can achieve decent normal proportions.

I own Slink Physique because after trying all the major bodies and many, many, many minor ones (and building shapes for each of them) before i bought the Slink, I decided it was by far the easiest to make look like a normal, well proportioned body.  The breasts and curves and crotch gap all look like a normal person could have them.  Some of the other bodies look like cartoons, even especially when you try to proportion them like real humans.  Some of them have a ridiculous bias toward huge hips and breast melons, and if you make them anything but emaciated, you cannot have NORMAL width shoulders or arms that aren't skinny sticks.  This is not a look I have any use for.  Those proportions, if they existed in reality, would result in a woman who could barely lift anything. Weakness and uselessness in a woman is not sexy to me. Many SL bodies are biomechanically improbable.  Some are just impossible and look deformed.

None of my friends have huge heads, tiny shoulders, and flipper hands with giant rears and 'headlight' sized melons...😜🙃

Nope! It's unlikely I would change my body.  The only thing about the physique that I am less than thrilled with is the way the alphas work on the HUD.  I wear some 5 size mesh b/c I do a lot of fantasy/unreal stuff and some of those clothes were made by people who are long gone from SL and unlikely to update and some of them are exquisitely made.  Unlike some of my friends, I don't resize my body. I created a body to reflect my 30 year old self - though I was more athletic than I look in SL. 

Sadly, there is NO body or skin combo that I've found that looks like a female, feminine, ELITE athlete. 

Apparently, we must all look like porn stars on steroids or fainting maidens who cannot lift a pebble.

Unless someone creates a body that can have muscles (but isn't a muscle bound fugly weightlifter body) I'm unlikely to change.  I actually stayed with my system body for a long time because I could make it look more muscular, but after a while, I wanted a smoother less jagged look.  When i wear my fallen gods skins, I wear the male part of the body skin with the woman's head applier - one reason I'm not all that turned on by BOM for skin.  Most 'normal' male skins don't work as well, however because apparently, the SL male is supposed to be part monster!

If I bothered to buy another body it would probably be the ebody.  Runners up would be some of the better Altamura bodies (my alts have Altamura or ebody) or Belleza.  There are several that I would never buy, either for weird proportions or unreality or for the lack of quality of their HUDs. 

Ease of use matters to people. Realism matters to some of us too.

[Unpronounceable1]

Like others have said I really like my Slink Physique, but would enjoy experimenting with a Legacy. I haven't dared invest in one because of all the reports of extra stuff necessary to buy, and the lack of clothing options.

[BeckyGY]

Maitreya Lara. I want it so much.  I have an omega skin and I found out that it works with Maitreya but not with Legacy. *SAD STORY*

Could not have said it better.

 

[Panteleeva]

i will choose Belleza.

[Bree Giffen]

I’d choose Maitreya. I shop a lot and it’s always supported by merchants. I have two avatars with Maitreya but always need more.

It is sad! But does it have a skin named BoM in the pack? You can use it on Legacy, if you activate the small "BoM" button that is hidden in the HUD. It is videos on Youtube that show Legacy with BoM, and you should be able to find out where to turn it on from the videos.

[Aislin Keynes]

I’ve been looking for Belleza Jake for an alt, can someone send a link on where to find it?  SL search can be such a pain.
