i kinda want to take a poll on what women like more a guy with big arms, back and chest with a spare tire or lean body with a six pack and a smaller frame?

    For me it all depends on how tall he is. I think guys that are up around 6'2-6'4 can rock the bulk, but shorter guys look better on the leaner side.

    I cannot do beer guts!
    Big no no!!!
    But otherwise I like lean/skinny or big muscle.
    Only exception is that guys with big muscles if they have an arrogant attitude because of the muscles.
    For some reason I relate big muscles to big arrogant egos and I can stand that.. such a big turn off.

    Frankly for most guys your body won't give you a choice. I'm built tall and very lean. Nothing I can do short of juice will give me anything other than a lean look, despite several years of weight lifting and eating very big. I simply don't have the big round shape to my muscles, despite having plenty of tissue.

    The trick is in being happy with what your shape is after you've made it the best you can.

    if your asking do we take it you are struggling to attract women ???

    Truth is different women are attracted to all sorts of different things but the one thing none of them can resist is a good listener !!!!!

    I agree. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) can totally get away with being big, but that look doesn't look well on a shorter guy. I like guys who are cut, but still look like they can run. That "top heavy body building" look is not for me. It's a turn off if guys can just "lift weights" but get winded walking up the stairs. I think the following guys have great bodies:

    Hugh Jackman
    Ryan Reynolds
    Channing Tatum
    Daniel Craig

    It's all about personality for me.

    Answer to your question - I'd probably take the bigger guy with the spare tire rather than a lean dude.

    First answer = my answer mostly.

    Most guys can look good with the lean look but only taller guys look good with the bulky look (only my personal preference).

    I've never really considered a partner based on looks. Good to look at is, just, good to look at.

    I've been in both categories

    I was the the 6'3" 242 lbs guy with guns and some significant muscle mass for more than 20+ years as I trained as a athlete.

    Now I trimmed down to 201lbs because of health reasons I can't carry that weight and function normally. I no doubt lost a lot of muscle this year but I have to admit I feel healthier & I think my body still looks like I can bring some thunder for being into my forties.

    Interesting topic OP

    I'll hang up and listen now....

    I like leaner bodies... not into the "huge" muscles :p (definitely toned, and good muscle tone though, not just skinny)

    ... based on pure aesthetic, the latter. However, if the first guy can make me laugh and the second one can't, then I'm going to be more attracted to the former.

    I don't necessary like the body builder look. I mean the competitive guys. I like a strong healthy bloke. In some men, that is naturally lean and skinny, or lean and big. Some guys carry some stomach, but are active and strong. They look better than a larger guy that doesn't do any activity. You know how a week into to healthy eating and exercise a guy can just be more attractive ? Mostly though and this will seem 'safe' but a guy that is happy with himself, eats mostly good food, doesn't do any drugs , just is attractive. Whether it's as a friend or more. I naturally would love to see my husbands abs.......
