Ladies, which level of muscularity do you think looks better? [W/ Pics]

Options
I'm currently trying to put on more muscle mass, and I can see that my body has changed.
I put on about 5kg (11lbs) before from the first picture to the second.
I think I want to maintain my current body shape, as the extra weight is definitely helping me lift more.

I'll try to maintain my current body shape (Pic 2) regardless of the comments, but I'm curious to see which people prefer ;)

    I prefer #1, but it really should come down to what YOU prefer. Either way, great job!!

    I prefer #2, because I dont like it when the guy is thinner than I am!

    But, its whatever you want. Its your body, and everyone has different preferences.

    2. But I also find it more appealing when a man can actually move some weight. I struggle with the same thought process. I want to be tiny and lean but I also want to lift as much as possible.

    I love your shoulders in #2 but overall prefer #1 not because of the muscle definition but because I prefer that lean look with some muscle as opposed to more in your face muscle.

    Don't define yourself by what women think of you. If this were a woman posting her pictures and asking men what they prefer, people would say that it shouldn't matter what men think. It matters how you feel about yourself :) so I prefer whichever makes you happier.

    This, but 2.

    ITT: Just be yourself. But yourself when you're #2 is better.

    You're sexy in both. Number 2 looks best. Woman love muscles. Always.

    How do YOU feel about #2? Is it realistic for you? Maintainable? Do YOU feel attractive?

    Thanks for all the feedback, everybody.

    Yes, like I mentioned, I will work to maintain my current shape (photo 2) regardless of what everybody thinks.
    I was just curious which one people preferred ;)

    I have always been happy about my body image, but I do prefer my current look.
    Thank you all! Very much appreciated.
