    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...

    its my preferenceso get over it.I cant help what I am attracted to

    I've known girls that like that....I've also known girls that don't like that.

    How will I ever know how to look with all these opinions.

    Yeah all those opinions just get in the way.

    Disregard females, acquire gainz.

    IDK but I figure for the men who are muscular or trying to get there will not care that some women think they will look "GROSS".

    As somebody who now deliberately avoids the opposite sex and also social siuations (pure hermit!) as a result of repeatedly being called 'gross' for the way that I look, this thread has been a bit of an eye-opener.

    LOL that doesn't happen to fit people. Nice try though.

    Errrr....yes it does. Why? Because you have to be the kind of guy who the OP is describing before you're deemed anything near fit. I haven't been near anybody in two years. I left the online dating scene with my tail between my legs after receiving unsolicited abusive message after message. Nice try? Get your facts straight first.

    Because the former is generally allowed but the latter is a certain strike.

    Community guidelines (all hail!) are serious business.

    So this thread definitely took a turn that I didn't initially see coming.

    I think there's definitely something to be said for people watching their language when describing their preference in what they find attractive in other people, but at the same time, I think there's also something to be said for people being allowed to like what they like.

    I don't think that the OP should be jumped on for stating she prefers slimmer and what she refers to as "normal" men (although the choice wording of normal maybe should've been avoided here, considering when we all read the word 'normal' we more than likely have a different image in mind, and the other problem with that word is that it ends up excluding a massive section of people, and you've now sort of called all of those people 'abnormal' which can be taken in an offensive way, even if that wasn't the intention to begin with), but obviously when it comes to the internet, our words really need to be carefully chosen, in part, because when a person reads a paragraph on the message boards, there's zero tone behind it so we have no idea how to interpret the way that the OP is saying anything, and it's hard to tell when a person is intending to be offensive.

    Anyways.

    So what have you been doing the past 2 years?

    Going to the gym to try and look better and I'm awaiting a psychologist appointment to work on my self-esteem (deep rooted issues way beyond the scope of this thread.)

    I feel you man. Good job. Glad to hear you are bettering yourself and not falling to the other way. I kind of have similar issues. Self-esteem and self confidence is definitely one thing I need to work on.

    I don't think that the OP should be jumped on for...

    I think it is rather common for people to transpose the words normal and average...which is what I think the OP did.

    Americans tend to be less than precise in their choice of words, in a way that can be considered merely careless or indicative of long practiced social injustices, or anything in between the two extremes...

    I can understand the backlash, though. Such is life on the interwebz.

    I guarantee you he doesn't walk around in his underwear all day. He wears clothes. And fitness is not always evident in clothing.

    Furthermore. I have never been obese, but I took a heck of a lot of mocking when I was growing up and it scarred me badly.
    People can be jerks... and they single out whatever makes them uncomfortable... from a scar on the face, to extreme good looks. It doesn't matter. They attack what makes them feel weakest, in an attempt to better themselves.

    Please do NOT minimize the fact that this man has stated he suffers from scars just because YOU don't see them. It just makes the scars hurt that much more.

    Mark Wahlberg was described as being in the "gross" category, yet the photo posted is what I would consider "average" for a man.

    So, again, I'm not sure what she meant by "normal." And I'm American.

    Well if you think "normal" In the US it is a 5'9" man with a 39 inch waist that weighs 200lbs with a BMI of 29. According to this article: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/10/this-is-the-average-mans-body/280194/

    Lol yeah..think I'll go for the muscley dude!

    Yea, it's not really cool to call people gross. I haven't really read back and looked at which comments were provided by the OP across the whole thread, so I was maybe too narrowly focused on the first post.

    ETA: you know what I mean about American English, though, right? I mean, how many different ways do Americans use the word "hard" for example?

    Guy #2 is extreme enough that steroid use seems likely, which means he's got "roid rage" temper tantrums, no nuts, and inconsistent sexual performance.
