Oh, this one is easy! 
Here on MD as I see it...
For men who say...
Athletic / Toned - means they play golf and don't have any muscle definition whatsoever.
Muscular - don't have to state it, you'll see a pic with no shirt on.
Slim / Slender - usually honest about it
For women who say...
Athletic / Toned - generally another term for overweight, thick and they don't want to admit it. (Although I've seen a couple who were truly toned/athletic and looked really nice.)
Average - Anywhere from skin and bones to overweight, depends on their level of denial.
Few extra pounds - Usually overweight (see above) but there a few honest ones about this who didn't look bad at all.
Curvy - Once again, see the two up above. The few I've seen who were truly curvy and not the above categories have been quite voluptuous.
Full-figured , Big and beautiful - Honest about it and can be fun to talk to.

i'm full figured. i could've put curvy, because i am...but some people feel that means thin and curvy and i did not want to mislead anyone. i am FAR from being a twiggy thing and i am sometimes way too proud of that.

Thank you, Tink. I fall into that average category. Not thin, not fat, just average.

Tink, you are playing too much with the quote button!  Now go back and get the right quote with the right definition. 
(The whole point of what I was saying is that there are way too many women and men online who are in denial about their body types.  I find those who are honest about them to generally be more fun to talk to. Could it be because they have a more realistic view of themselves and not such low self esteem and insecurities?)
[And yes, I'd also say you were average.]

i must agree it great to have a perfect body to look at or even hold but in most cases they tend to be not that bright and the ones that are bright and good looking what do they need a dating site for,
most that i have come across are all in denial so i`v given up even looking at the body type now and just look at the picture and make my own mind up it easier.
plus im proud to be average and normal

i would`nt go with the thick may be mis-understood!.
i would go for slim/slender or average maybe even slim/average i use muscular covers a lot
but hay look at us none of us are perfect with tanned skin and a tight toned six pack and body, we may not win a mr universe contest but we are happy!

That is right court30 thanks! I'm looking good and feeling good. The years have not been too hard on me! I really don't look and rarely act my age.
