I have seen alot of these types of videos on youtube, where they will poll woman and ask them to choose between a muscular and "regular" body, and overwhelmingly, woman choose the latter. However, they are lying through their teeth and don't want to be appear shallow.
In reality, lean and muscular (Rinaldo, Fight Club Brad Pitt etc.) is the ideal body type for both woman and men. With muscle though, there is a point of diminishing return, where it becomes excessive, and subsequently grotesque.
I have been bodybuilding for 17 years, and I can honestly say that I attracted the most attention from the opposite sex when I was between 170 and 190lbs (at 5'11), I was extremely lean, but still big enough where I could fill out a t-shirt. Fast forward to when I stepped on stage at a peeled 235lbs, and LITERALLY everyone thought it was disgusting (minus black woman and gay men - who for whatever reason, prefer more muscular guys). I distinctly remember taking off my shirt and having a girl go "EWWWW" because of the vascularity.
With all of that being said, money and a good personality trumps pretty much every physical feature.
