Are women interested in men with muscles?

Thank you, I love my abs.

Show me so I can love them too... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I like some amount of muscle, but it's not a deal breaker if he has more or less than what I like. For instance, I tend to date men who are unusually tall or short for no other reason than geeky guys who share my interests tend to fall outside the normal male body types. In short, I have my preferences but I'll never turn down a good person who shares my interests because he's too muscular.

Why do all these very sexy healthy and fit women say muscles don't matter because when I was large no one ever looked at me and now they do when I am now in fairly good shape. I think some women might be lying because or that is what you are suppose to say.

Because you have this dismal outlook.

You can be tall, dark, and handsome, but if you open your mouth, and "dumb" falls out... FORGET IT!...all is lost from there.

It is nice to know you take care of yourself, but being able to carry on a valid conversation, and being able to laugh at the small stuff instead of "raging out over it", being thoughtful of others, and understanding, is always more important to me at least.

probably lying lets face it people want attractive and if you aren't in the middle of the bell curve whether male or female you only are attractive to those who prefers looks outside of the norm. Life isn't fair just the way it is.

We look for people who are the best looking to mate with to have good looking healthy babies.

Because there is a big difference between being obese, (not saying that you were), and being at a healthy weight, but not obsessed with a competition body builder physique.

I would dare say that most women like for men to have enough muscles to be able to move furniture around and carry them out of a burning house, if need be.
We also might look at pics of body builders and admire their hard work they put into getting that chiseled body. But when it comes down to dating, living with, or marrying a man, we usually choose someone who is a bit more well-rounded in general, and has more to offer than chiseled abs.
I dated a semi-pro BB many years ago, and altho he was pretty to look at, all he ever talked about was body-building related subjects, and he was constantly comparing his body to other BBs. He was the most insecure man I have ever known, and had to have as many women drooling over him as he could. The required constant affirmation of how good he looked, got old very quickly. He also hated that I had better calves than he did, so would frequently point out my flaws to compensate.

For most men to get to that point physically, their number one focus has to be on themselves. This doesn't make for a very good relationship with their women.
It also has gone past the point of looking good for women, and has become a competition with other men.

So moderation is a good thing.

Yes

Do I want someone who is rock hard and bulgy and veiny? No.

Do I want someone who is not lazy and has a similar activity level as me? Yes.

Ummmm.... well of course. We need someone to be able to pick us up and throw us over his sholder.

My female friend told me women are very peculiar. You could be a stud with a great personality etc but they still may not like you.

It's all about the pheromones

Best response ever

:-P

jjennyb4

No, I very well doubt most women do. It is just disgusting.
My goal is to get disgusting though.

Go ahead and get disgusting

This just shows to me how different body types makes a difference. My fiance is @ 12% and looks NOTHING like that. He is lean. I'm assuming its because he doesn't LIFT, but he plays sports. He's lean with some muscles, versus bulging with them.
