    For both of these.... I, hands down, prefer the before pic

    I could deal with either the before or after. lol

    Bringing back everyone to the topic of abs, I agree with every individual that abs, arms, chest, strong legs should not be a criteria to be with someone. If he's a knuckle head then no matter how fit he may be no normal girl would like him. To re-iterate I just wanted everyone's view about "does abs attract women/fems"? I don't workout to be a chic magnet and a set of good abs is not to impress anyone as far as I'm concerned but to make me feel good about my body!!

    Well that, impresses me!

    Unfortunately though, most narcissists're in denial; that they're!

    I don't believe that anyone implied, that you're a narcissist; I just said that "many guys (with abs), tend to be". I don't know you, to know; if that applies or not, to you; in particular though.

    My bad! But it has been an insightful experience to know how ppl think and react.. At the end of the day all that matters is a level headed person, nice body is always a plus!

    I wasn't judging. I honestly answered the question. I even made sure to clarify that personality wasn't correlated to body type. I have had visible abs all my life. I don't judge people for having visible abs. And people were just joking with me for a second that my answer sounded like a romantic comedy.

    I can appreciate nice abs but they're not a turn on unless I'm already attracted to the guy.

    Abs are attractive and are nice to look at, but don't mean anything if the guy with them is a jerk. Unfortunately, more often than not, guys with abs are jerks. Stereotypes suck, but they are stereotypes for a reason.

    Abs are nice, but there are many other features that make someone hot to me. Abs don't really rank on the list.

    So better question.. What other flavors should I make my abs taste like to attractive the ladies? [/quote]

    Chocolate. Nutella. Pumpkin spice. Bacon. [/quote]

    All. Of. This! Except I'd like for my bacon to be uncured turkey bacon! <3

    All these sort of questions come down to taste :confused: I'm not all that into visible abs...I guess I just prefer more a every-man look lol.

    So you're saying I should make my abs taste like peanut butter?

    That's exactly what she's saying

    So better question.. What other flavors should I make my abs taste like to attractive the ladies?

    My preferences: Chocolate, chai tea, queso.

    But only during fall... Then back to chai

    Chai is my fave...
