I'm of the opinion that if you don't show a lot of skin, it's so much sexier if you show a little. Like two women wearing dresses: One's is like a bathing suit, one is full length with just a thin slit up one leg.
The whole spandex thing is unappealing - both men and women, for me at least.
I can't really speak for the guys, but I think comic books are being a bit narrow-minded.
