I could be 10 pounds lighter, but I'm not a big kid, and I definitely lack back hair at this point in my life.

6'0" (I think, Im 186 cm tall), 190 pounds (86 kg), no fat weight to speak of; I inherited a great body from my father's line of the family, I get muscles in no time. After no exercise besides dice rolling and studying, I was among the strongest at the gym after two months 
That means, though, that I have a hairy back (the testosterone works two ways, I suppose

Well I am a girl and I'm responding anyways since the "girl gamer" stereotype is that we all look like wanna-be goths or nerds.
I am neither. I am what you might call, average to slightly below average looking. I blend in with crowds. I dress very "normal".
I am not thin, fat or freakishly tall or short. I am 5'5 and I weigh about 125. I will be the first to say I am not "ugly" but also the first to say I am not "pretty".
I just kinda am.
Most people wouldn't guess I played DnD by how I looked (although the numerous pictures of elves, dragons, faeries , wizards and unicorns at my cube at work might tip them off).
My boyfriend, also a gamer, you know him as MojoGM, doesn't fit any of the stereotypes either. He is what most women would describe as at least above average looking (this is based off every woman I know who has met him) and many would refer to him as downright "hot".
Most people wouldn't automatically assume he plays D&D (although the fact that he spends 2/3 of his work day writing our next game session and/or on ENWorld might tip them off...)
I'm not just saying this because I'm with him. He's just a damn good looking guy. We don't really "match" physically (he turns heads...I don't ; but I'm cool with that ), and we're happy. And that's all that counts 
Of course attractiveness is really just in the eye of the beholder. I know some women who dig scrawny pale guys, and some who really like tall, heavyset guys. I think it really just comes down to how you present yourself. And your attitude.
I tend to make my characters look average. I see no need to aim for the typical "sexy chainmail bikini look". Maybe that's just too much of a reach for me...

I swim, fence rapier, and often forget to eat (too much gaming), which is probably why I'm a slender 6', 160 lbs. According to the PHB if I was a player character I'd be on the low side of weight for my height.
Humans have a base height 58 inches, plus 2d10 inches. I guess I rolled 14 inches, since 72 inches = my height of 6 feet.
To get weight, you take that height roll (14) and multiply by 2d4. That's the extra weight that you add that to the human base weight of 120. I guess I rolled a 3 on my 2d4 roll (for 42 lbs.) to get 162 lbs--close enough to my real weight of 160.
I find it interesting that the max weight for a 6' tall person is only 232, and the minimum is 148. I guess that's heroic fantasy for you!
-z, happy to know that the ultimate question to life, the universe, and everything is "If Zaruthustran were a player character in D&D, how many pounds over the base human weight would he weigh?"

You've got me beat by an inch. I have an average build, except for the belly, which I am working on getting rid of. I didn't used to have one but a few years ago I thought I was too skinny and decided it would be a good idea to gain weight. 45 lbs later its time to go back the other direction.
