Muscular or Skinny model look?

EuroDriver12

What do you like? When a guy is big, muscular and cut(NOT like Jay cutler big or anything but decent healthy size)? or that skinny lean model look?

Im in my pic 210lbs and goal weight before i start cutting is 225-230... do you think i would be getting too big? mind you once i cut ill prolly drop to 190-200lbs of muscle...

muscular and cut

I like men that fall somewhere between the two. If you get too bulky, you'll look like a meat head. Too skinny, you'll look like you can't protect me. Just my opinion on what I like in a guy.

I think muscular is better, just as long as its not scary muscular.

I think you should decide how YOU want to look and not worry about what others like

I personally think you look great as you are in your profile picture, I don't like skinny 'model' men, I like a bit of buff, but too much puts me off. And again, personally, I wouldn't find you attractive any more muscular than you already are.

But everyone is different, so I guess it comes down to how feel good

Muscular!

I love a well defined man, not one "pumped up" to extreme.

This, except I don't really care if a guy can protect me or not. I can take care of myself. But for purely aesthetic reasons, I like a guy who's lean and muscular, but not huge. I'm not into the bodybuilder look.

I have struggled with the same issue and resolved to just strive for health - and let the body size cards fall where they may.
I have seen and experienced the big mass builders turn to slugs given enough time.

My goal is to shoot for the waist size I wore at age 20: pants size 32, and to get there I had to sacrifice mass, but that is what's the most fit and healthy. And most ladies who judge male beauty don't much favor huge, puffy guys for the most part.

im 33 when bulking and if i cut a little im 32 or less the pants n belts that i wore when i was skinny fat dont fit me anymore but i weight like 40lbs more lol

I don't really care for either of those looks. I like muscle but I do not like a guy that looks like he spends hours in the gym or obsesses over body fat %. I like a guy to look like he enjoys eating and drinking but also is active enough to have muscle not be fat. I like (and luckily have) someone that looks like they enjoy life without obsessing over their looks.

I like something in the middle.

But honestly it depends on the person underneath it all. Women aren't always as shallow or into looks as men can be at times.

I think huge and muscular is so unattractive.
These are my ideal body types on guys, although any more muscular than the first one, and it would be a bit too much.

(Zac at the end is nice, because he doesn't have a super chiseled six pack, but his abs are nice and tight and toned with little body fat on top of i)

Personal preference, I like the thinner/leaner look on guys. Not scrawny, but not muscular. However, the only thing I really don't find attractive is guys with big necks and arms so big that they can't touch their hands to their sides when their arms are down without bending their arm! I've seen a good amount of guys at my gym (on a college campus) that seem to only focus on their arms and chest and it looks awkward, to me at least.

yeah first pic is roughly where i want to be around summer if he was on a 6'2 frame he would roughly be 195-200lbs...

Thin, muscular and cut. Not big bulky muscles. I like when you look at a guy and you can tell he's in shape, but you're pleasently surprised when he takes of his shirt and you see some sexy abs/definition. So I guess that's a balance between model and bulky.

i agree... you have to have proper vision to look good and i have seen ALOT of ppl to go to the gym n say i want bigger arms so they do arms all week long lol then they look like gorillas... i dont have that problem though and i very easly notice imperfections or muscles that are slacking and i fix them...

If he is in my bed, I prefer a leaner, toned man. My husband is pretty much spot on with that I like.

Now if he is on the movie screen or tv, I don't mind a little more muscle bulk.

I like all of that too. My partner, however, currently has zero interest in fitness. Oh well, I still love him all the same. But I'll admit, I would love it if he would take an interest (and by that I mean do it because he wants to and not because I nudge him into it) into getting in shape.

I'm glad to know I am in the 5% then. I married a guy with no money and no job and am EXTREMELY happy!

I like guys who look like they're casually super fit because they're active and outdoorsy (surfing, skateboarding, sports, snowboarding, hiking, etc) rather than looking like they spend many hours each day obsessing over their body and muscles.

EuroDriver12

I watched a documentary called the science of sex appeal, and they did a study where they did polling on the streets and they had a guy's photo and his occupation (it was made up) on a sheet of paper and they would ask women to rate him on a scale of 1-10. When they compared the ratings to the ratings that didn't include occupation, they found that men who had higher paying jobs listed scored higher than they did in the first poll and men who had low paying jobs listed on their page scored lower than they did originally.

Who cares what someone else prefers. I like the way I look and that's the only opinion that matters.
