What's are appropriate Thai phrases to suggest someone has a nice slim body or is looking fit ?

I'm sure even most farang tourists have heard the word "bpoom bpui" used for fat. Not a phrase I hope to use with any boy I'm trying to pull.

That would be
ผอม pŏm (slim, skinny),
แห้ง hâeng (main meaning dry, in context of body very skinny, bony) and
ลีน leen (transliteration of English lean).

I tricky issue. Many a time I messaged a boy "Sorry, I like slim boys" as a polite way to say he is not my type, only to get a reply "But I'm not fat!" - well, regardless of what you think or what others say, you are fat by my standards.

Thank you. I'm intending to use the words for complements only. If I don't want to meet a boy, I try to avoid telling him why, as I have little to gain from that. Even if the reason were something he could correct in 5 minutes by using a razor or removing a nose ring, I still don't go there.

I've since noticed some of these words in use, having figured out where to look.

Same for me. If I'm turned off right from the start I stay turned off no matter what he does. For example, if he's got one of those scraggly mustaches, but shaves it off because he knows I don't like it, for me that doesn't help - I know he didn't want to.

This is along the right lines.

If the boy has a fit athletic body "kao dee maak maak" would work.

If he's slim (my type) "phaawm phrilao maak maak" works. If I want to compliment his ass as well I usually follow this up with "duit dee maak maak (sp?)

I wouldn't win any spelling bees in Thai so just pronounce them like you see them.
