Is muscle more attractive than fat?

I know this is kind of a weird (and likely controversial) question. It's like asking, "are eyes more attractive than hair?" Eyes are definitely attractive and some people are naturally born with stunning eyes. I'm not one of them, but several of my family members are blessed in this way... and it is passed down from my wife who has very beautiful eyes. Hair, on the other hand, is also attractive... if managed properly and in the right places. Now, I'm not a big fan of my naturally curly hair, but whenever I've had female hairdressers cut my hair, there always seems to be admiration... sometimes even envy. That hair on my back, not so attractive though.
Back to the muscle vs. fat - It's a similar concept. If managed properly and in the right places, fat can be attractive. There is a happy median of just the right amount (and this is a personal preference for individuals). I admire muscle too, to a certain extent. When a guy takes off his shirt and is totally ripped, I do admire that and I appreciate all the work that has gone into making it that way. I notice "runner's legs" too. Runners notice others who run and appreciate all the work that it took to get that way. When overdone though, I don't see the attractiveness in bodybuilders. Honestly, very few people find that attractive. But fat is important too, in all the right places that define a masculine or feminine body. Even the face needs a little fat to enhance beauty.
