Are women interested in men with muscles?

From a purely aesthetic point of view - muscles are good. Example:

as opposed to this:

I don't really like men with muscles, I usually prefer relatively thin boys, the ones that look like they never really workout or dance or do things that require some kind of good shape. Massive people scare me. But that's just my opinion.
Most girls find models good-looking while I don't. So, yes, they like some muscles, they usually even like a lot of muscles, they probably dislike bodybuilders because they take their muscles to an excess. It's universally accepted that strong men are appreciated by girls.
But this doesn't apply to anyone, and I think that since nerds have gotten cooler they've spread the idea that even unfit men can be considered good looking.

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

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.

Bitter is always amusing. Great way to run off women, but amusing

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

I thought men were the visual/physical group.

In an ideal world, yeah. But in reality, no.

Physical attraction is what initially catches your attention, but if the person is vapid then that quickly fades. If you want a relationship there has to be physical and mental attraction. If you just want a hookup I dont think that personality is as important.

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who couldn't stand to be in a relationship with someone they did not feel attracted to. Thats not even being rude, or superficial, thats just having standards and preferences.

I think the whole "looks aren't everything, personality is more important" thing is total BS. They are both equally important in a relationship

I'm attracted to a man that can make me laugh and smile, regardless of everything else.

Oh hai...Lmfao

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.

Totally agree with you on that.

I think the men who don't think appearance is important to a woman have never been outside of what is considered normal. Similar for the women who swear it's personality only mean it in the sense that it's personality provided the guy be within the range of normal. Every guy who's been fat knows this. And I don't mean 20lbs overweight. I mean like 300+ guys. You get treated different.

I appreciate 10-20% hubby is around 16-18%

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

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.

Do they have this same body fat picture chart for women? I'd be curious to see it.

miss_jessiejane

I'm kinda diggin' the 25% guy.

Number_44

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!

BranMuffin86

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.
