    Same here especially the body builder type.I find it gross. prefer guys who are not fat but in between, more like average size with a flat stomach.I don't like guys with big belly either as I find it a big turn off. I also don't like when guys are too skinny.so basically a guy who is average size and look nice without those big muscles

    Aren't you a peach? :noway:

    Or not...

    Because she referred to body builders as gross. Preference or not, the wording is everything.

    It's fine to have preferences. It's not fine to call anyone "gross."

    I feel as though if gender roles were reversed in this post, a lot more people would be offended. XD

    I have dated a few girls that said they "hated muscles/bodybuilders". They were the most insecure, attention seeking, controlling people to be around. Had one girl try to tell me that I couldn't wear tank tops in public because 'everyone' looked at me. Same one made a scene in a restaurant because the waitress smiled and talked to me for "too long". I said "yeah, I am the one paying the damn check so to the waitress you mean nothing." Also, the women that say they hate the muscles the loudest are the ones that secretly desire them the most. I forget my psychology, but there is a term for that.

    Yikes...and you say you attract insecure girls? I can't imagine a woman with a healthy self esteem putting up with that ^^^
    The waitress LOLed pretty hard.

    Even *kitten* and bullies get a few laughs now and again.

    Let's review:
    You a) in a classic case of misogyny, assumed that the waitress recognized your masculine bread-winning abilities and factored that into her strategy of securing the best possible tip by catering to you alone

    and b) in even more misogyny, assumed that your date was completely uninterested in picking up or sharing the tab

    and c) in a move of utter and complete nastiness, insulted your date in front of another woman who is paid to provide the both of you with service

    But she just can't get on in the world...what with how jealous and insecure she is about your muscles. That beeyotch. You deserve better.

    I was wondering when someone was going to pull the misogyny card. Glad to see MFP didn't disappoint.

    I'm glad that it wasn't just me who noticed. Yet the very title of this thread has man-shaming at its core.

    oh misandry it tastes so good

    She finds a body builder type gross. So what? Perhaps it's not the best choice of words. Would "unattractive to me" have been better or is that a no-no as well?

    I think phrases like 'gross' and 'turn-off' might qualify as blatant body-shaming.

    You really need someone to explain to you why calling someone's body type "gross" is not acceptable? Really????? :noway:

    Saying a particular body type is gross on a fitness site where many of the people are body builder types or striving to be is just in bad form. What if I said overweight chics are disgusting?

    I've noticed more muscular guys have nice veins. I bet phlebotomists like muscular guys.

    'Unattractive to me' is stating a preference.
    'Gross' is attacking the person for looking that way.

    Ok...imagine if somebody posted the following:

    'Same here especially the BBW type.I find it gross. prefer girls who are not fat but in between, more like average size with a flat stomach.I don't like girls with back boobs/cankles either as I find it a big turn off. I also don't like when girls are too skinny and flat-chested.so basically a girl who is average size and look nice without those big rolls and folds.'

    People would be offended, and who'd blame them?

    But given the entire post I even question what they believe a bodybuilder is or what they think one looks like to them. For all we know they think the Stay Puft Marshmallow man is a body builder??? With words and phrases like "not fat but in between" "like average size with a flat stomach" "big belly" "too skinny" and of course the piece de resistance "basically a guy who is average size and look nice without those big muscles" They potentially described every man walking on Earth (depending on ones perspective)

    Come on people, you all know what she means by "normal" ; fit and in shape but not a body builder or overtly muscular. It's not rocket science.

    To answer OPs question, you aren't alone. I personally find muscular men unattractive, particularly when they have have bulging veins on their arms/necks. It's just a personal preference. Some people like big, muscular, herculean, men. I prefer slim/average weight (healthy for their height and body type since apparently "average" is this horrible grey area nobody on here seems to understand) and in shape, but without the rippling muscles or 6 pack abs.

    I hate it when people dont look normal.

    Too much muscle, fat, skin and hair. Thats bad. It has to be perfect. You know, like in between all that other stuff. Then its good.

    What looks normal? Yeah she made that up off the top of the dome. Women hear all say that vascular look is unattractive which is technically under body fat % range for men. Veiny look takes really low body fat%.
