Personally, I find that where you live may have alot to do with this.
West coast, land of sun, hot weather, fitness, body building, beach goers and surfers...
Midwest folks are a bit stouter in general.
The "Open" physique is much more realistic to me (as far as seeing a strong man), than the "midwest" look that we see on test (stout regular guy look)
I personally have that "midwest" physique... its hard to find clothes that fit
ME (they fit most the people out here) properly on the west coast. If you have a waist size over 34-36" you cannot go to the regular department stores on the west coast, not unless you plan on just looking at what all the body builder types with big chests/arms, and small waists are wearing. You have to find yourself having to shop for clothes at not so prestigious places like Target, Walmart, and Kmart, your typical clothing stores dont carry stuff for that "stout" look. Not even the big chains Sears, JC Penny, etc carry stuff that fits (they quickly refer you to their catalog ordering counter).
When I visit the midwest, I find clothes that fit at every store that sells clothing! Why? Majority of the regional population has a different body type, than those on the west coast.
Not sure what to say is realistic.
Other than that... this is a game, its a fantasy at that.
Id rather have the big muscle bound looking like guy on Open, than the test one.
If I wanted realistic, id turn off the computer and go to the park and do something.
The pictures above to me.. represent...
Open - Fit/Body builder/strong
Test- Everyday middleaged stout/chunky guy.
When I selected my body types in the game, I did so on Disney's advice picking what I wanted, and how I wanted to look. Now they are going to change that? Technically that just took existing players right of having their own customized avatar away by replacing it with what Disney thought was best. Major foul.
