I haven't experimented too much with female bodies though I'm not opposed to trying them at some point. I use the Ruth 2.0 RC3 body (not the head) for multiple reasons: it was made in Opensim, it adapts easily to my own skin and shape, the huds are very user-friendly and detailed, and my complexity stays around 70K. In SL I've always been a Maitreya girl :-)

For my male dance partner I use Gianni, since the Roth 2.0 male is absolutely horrendous. Gianni looks great and the hud is decent. The legacy hud was too clunky for me.

I still prefer my trusty Athena and LaraX bodies, but I do have a collection. I use Lara and LaraX in SL as well. I don't like the extreme bodies with big hips etc. My fellas seem to prefer the Gianni. Thank you for all of you hard work! Not just avies, but decor and landscaping!

I am quite happy with Gianni--the best HUD I have worked with. There are lots of outfits and accessories--but I'm always looking for more clothes! and between the HUD and alphas I can also find a lot of non-Gianni clothes I can make work. Not bad, but trailing Gianni a lot, I'd say Legacy Athletic is my other body choice, again because the HUD is pretty good.

I'm mainly a Reborn girl but agree with Ms. Marpil. If I really like an outfit would get the body to wear it. ;)
Big thanks to everything the community brings into this world for us!! ♡♡♡

Always prefer perky because look more natural.
"Classic" look like silicone implant.

I have the classic Legacy body and the perky one. I prefer the perky one. Thanks, Aurora, for all you do for us.

I use Gianni and tried Legacy many times but can't find its good side yet. In Sl I use Gianni too and I truly believe it's the best body for normal size men.

I realize i am in the minority and that is ok. I use jake because that is what i use in sl and that is what i am comfy with. Clothes are really a pain in the butt to find...BUT...i find that i won't wear 95% of the mens clothing i see. I base my avatar after me in rl, my traits, preferences and in many cases...ideals. (ikr hard to believe that less than 100% of men have washboard abs for 100% of their adult life, right? ;) So basically, take my input with a grain of salt. But thanks so much for the variety of high quality skins, body hair, etc. I assembled my look, but Aurora made most of it possible! yayyy tytyty

I have been using only Legacy for about a year. And thank you for everything Auroa, Slow.

I use toned skin tattoo if there is issue with skin which these days are rare cos skin packs have head skin tattoos for blending and I don't use perky body

I have all the bodies, and the truth is that I don't get complicated with the clothes, if it's nice and I like it I change the body because the shape and the head fit for all of them and except for the reborn body I use a shape configured for it, but being in opensim that everything is free, I don't tie myself to a single body nobody notices the difference when I change them because when I keep the shape I always look the same :D thanks for asking Aurora, a hug and thanks for all the things you bring and the effort you make, I love you 1000 ♥

In SL and OpenSim I always used Gianni, simply because the HUD was better and more complete. For men I like a masculine body, but nowadays I find the Gianni too bulky (specially the arms). The hud is a very important factor for me and works a little differently in opensim. So I might consider switching to Legacy.

For female body's I prefer the Reborn body. It's so versatile.

Personally I don't use perky versions, but I know that quite a few of people do. From my female friends, I would say around 10-20% uses either Legacy perky or Athena petite. Gianni: never used it myself :)) but in my male friends group I do see the same shift Hicks mentioned: It's still popular but because of more and better clothes becoming available for Legacy m, many of them are moving to Legacy m.

I used to use Gianni but since the reset I switched to Legacy, I use a complete avatar that I customize after adding my own details.
The advantage of having a full avatar to start with is that we don't have to struggle to match the head and body skin.
