From my point of view I have no target to impress women I have chosen to drop the fat as a way to get my health back. If it turns out it helps with the ladies then thats a good side effect!
I'm not really familiar with the term Husky so I would consider myself chubby still but much better than the very very fat I used to be! I work with a guy who is absolutely ripped and I would love to get that way one day but purely so I can take a picture to say 'Look at me' and then I would hit the cake to get back to a more normal sustainable level of body fat. I see the way he eats and the time he has to spend in the gym and just think 'not a chance!!'

I love it when women posts pictures of guys who actually likely put a TON of time into the gym and would be considered "junkies" as examples of dudes who are just fit and normal.
Hate to tell you this, but the guy in the pic above is not typical for just "fit" guys who are not "gym junkies". Not even close.

He spends at least 4days a week in The gym and his diet is on point! He lives for fitness!
And take sub10% body fat ladies. That's not easy!0 -

Reminds me of the dudes who want a girl that looks straight out of a Victoria Secrets catalogue but still thinks she should be "down to earth" and able to throw down and eat like he does.
Ok dude.
If somebody looks in exceptional shape, chances are they work really hard to stay that way.0 -
I usually date women who are a little fluffy, my height or just a hair shorter. I like to be wrapped up in someone bigger than me. I care much less about my partners body fat than my own, though. I say just workout until you feel content and happy with yourself and meet the person of your dreams who loves and accepts you at that place.0

Lol and she can't spent too much time at the gym, and doesn't obsess over her cals/macros!
You know someone who can have fun and just relax.0 -
You guys think I've got a shot at this body if I just hike and hit the gym maybe twice a week for 15-20 minutes? I'm not trying to be bulky like those bodybuilders and I don't want to become a gym junkie! Doable?

Yes, he's "doable"... wasn't that your question?
(Actually, in all seriousness, he's too beefy for my taste. But I'm an outlier that way00 -

Yeah if you go to the gym more then 2 times a week for 30 mins you end up looking like this. Its such a common mistake, a lot of guys walk in to a gym, stay there for over 30 mins, then they get to big to get out the door. They are stuck there for the rest of their lives. Very sad.

So true. It's bad enough that sometimes we have unrealistic expectations for ourselves, but then for others, too? Not realistic. Similarly, guys generally like a woman who is in shape and STAYS in shape throughout the relationship but then don't like the time they spend at the gym instead of with them (or maybe that's just my experience).0
