    10-12% is my ideal Hubba hubba but my guy is more like 20% and he's the love of my life, I don't care if he loses all his hair, or goes grey or never looks muscly as long as he's healthy and respects me.
    I appreciate 10-20% hubby is around 16-18%

    Oh my! I think I'd be a bit traumatised by number one!

    A personality and sense of humor make a relationship work!

    ...Buuuut. If we're talking about attraction, purely physical, then yes. I do like muscles. :3 My boyfriend would know. <3

    This would be a better way to phrase the question.....I think.

    How does the physical aspect of men work for women?

    I tend to think on their list of "Likes"......the physical is prolly number 5 on the list....
    Would that be accurate?

    Nope, number 1 in the sense that it's the initial filter. If you don't meet a certain standard they have in their heads you have virtually zero chance of overcoming that.

    So you are saying the physical is number 1 on a woman's list?
    Hmm....

    I thought men were the visual/physical group.

    So lets say an average woman walks into a bar on a Saturday night. There just so happens to be 10 guys of varying level of attractiveness from exactly 1 to 10 on a scale of 1 to 10, and that's her personal rating, another woman might rank them another way... First, yes, she'd probably be interested in the number 10 first, but are there other women in there? Is SHE attractive/bold enough to go talk to the 10? Let's say she's a 7. She's more likely to go up to the corresponding male 7 but lets say male #7 is avoiding eye contact and male number 5 buys her a drink.... She takes male #5 home with her for the evening. So even in the bar scenerio attractiveness isn't the #1 factor.

    But then woman #7 goes to work on Monday. Meets new coworker who might be a #4. They work together for many months, going out to lunch, working late nights, one day happy hour turns into a date invitation, 2 years later they get married and live happily ever after. Here, personality and chemistry is number 1.

    Attracted for what purpose?

    Sex?

    To mooch off of?

    To trap in a relationship by getting pregnant?

    Please be more specific next time because the relationship of visible abs to the size of the trust fund is always at play here.

    I love muscles on men, but it isnt the most important!

    Physical I love a guy with muscles but not so much that he looks like a Michelin Man but without the fluff. I like a toned guy where it's natural with a lil more, but I'm not really picky about it. It's nice to look at tho.

    muscles could get me to turn my head, but not necessarily keep my attention.... the personality, wittiness and laughter keep my attention best.

    Quick wit and sharp mind are sexy.

    I suppose the package those two things come in does matter, because I would like someone who cares about themselves enough to take care of their body. John Candy and Chris Farley were hilarious, but ummm... yeah. No. :noway:

    I think there's another thread for men to discuss women's bodies. Just saying.. :)

    I think 30 looks the best on girls, based on that set of photos. 25 would be good if there was a larger waist to hip difference.

    I doubt that chart is even accurate... 40% looks like 35% just less toned.

    Yeah yeah yeah I agree with everyone else about personality and charm and such but if there are two guys that are completely alike in terms of personality etc. and one of them has muscle and the other is scrawny, I'm going with the muscular one. I like muscular guys. No, I do not find huge bodybuilders that attractive, but your typical guy with pretty strong arms, a 6 pack, and nice pecs I like. :smile:

    According to the chart on the previous page with pics of guys w/ different body fat percentages I like muscle as in a 10-12% BF. The 3% BF appearance to me is not appealing.

    If you make me laugh and smile, then I am all yours. However, I want a man who is active, not necessarily muscles per say

    most attractive thing about a guy is between the ears. the rest is all fluff.

    I looked at these pics a lot over the past year and then after going in and getting a bod pod assessment I realized that I have seriously flawed self image. I thought I was well in the 25-30% range and it turns out I'm just a little over 17%. This all goes to say that the people who want to know their body fat and rely on these images to self-diagnose may have a little body dismorphia. If it is available to you and you can afford it, try getting in a Bod Pod!
