Hi I'm back in SL after being gone for nearly ten years, and whoa, mesh has changed things.
I've dragged my boyfriend back in with me, of course.Since my boyfriend isn't as keen on SL as I am, he doesn't care what body he gets, but I do. I have specific preferences on how I like a guy to look. I shopped around a bit and the male mesh bodies are so far very offputting; in particular, they tend to have a triangle shape with the shoulders'chest too puffed-up and the waists too small for my preferences, and muscle shaping down the arms is overdone... I can put up with most of this, I guess, except for those thinning waists. What I'd like for Jon would be a stocky male body, sides just about straight down from armpit to waist, not tapered-in like what I'm seeing in the stores. I don't know if once we buy the mesh body we can reshape it ourselves, but I don't want to throw good money and then find out these bodies don't alter very well.
What store should we visit to buy Jon the body type I'm describing? Or, if I have to help him reshape a mesh body himself, how is that going to work without looking bad?
Also, where are we gonna want to go for his skin, since I don't want to have to look at any extreme washboard stomach lining shadows on him, either?
I've included pics of non-waisted men, as best I could find on the internet, to try to show the type of stocky sturdy guy I like. Minus the excess washboard lines of course lol
Thank you all so much for your understanding...
