    So upon talking with most of the girls I know around 90% of them say that lean muscle and a guy having rippling abs is just pure gross!!!

    I somehow think that these girls re misguided and just are not used to seeing a well built guy...

    Do the girls here agree?? If not what is your ideal guy??

    I know that there is more to a guy than a 'hot body' and that his personality plays a huge role... But who wouldnt want a guy with a hot body?? Am I right???

    Ummm yep I think you are right..... I love abs...especially the V. Well build and defined are great too and definatley get my attention. However they are not necessary at the same time, if he has a great bod but a horrible personality it doesn't matter how built he is....he is still an as*hole.

    I might be in the minority on this one but I love a muscular guy. Somebody who can pick me up and pin me to the wall. :blushing: Skinny guys scare me, I'm afraid of breaking them.

    Confidence and personality play a big role too. Have the confidence to come and talk to me. And the personality to keep me interested. Looks matter less at that point but I'm honest enough to say they play a role.

    Lean and toned is desirable, even muscular to a point, but not if the chap in question spends more time in the gym creating the muscle than doing anything else, and definitely not if that's all he's capable of thinking/talking about. Obsessive behaviour is never attractive, nor (to me) is excessive muscle - gently defined, yes, "ripped" , no thank you. Narcissism is a definite turn-off, and there's a big difference between taking care of yourself and spending hours a day in the gym.

    My boyfriend is skinny (5'11" and 155 or so pounds) but he's one of the strongest men I have ever known. I mean, you really wouldn't look at him and think so, but he is!

    Interesting - for me, this is the upper end of what I consider attractive - it's almost too much. Just as well we all find different things appealing!

    Its good to see what girls actually think about it all... I will be honest and say it is shallow to only look at someone for their defined physique as there is more to someone then how their body looks, but I do have to say that it shows that the guy takes pride in himself and that he looks after himself...

    But being huge and muscular beyond natural physiques just looks utter ridiculous ..

    this is more the physique I am looking to achieve

    According to bb.com woman choose their life partners in the following order:

    Confidence> Money > Looks > Height

    How true that is I don't know....sucks to be a shy poor ugly manlet lol

    Height is a complete and total deal breaker for me. Or was, when I dated.

    Matthew McConaughey, Taylor Lautner, Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, etc... YOWZA!!! :love:

    Arnold Schwartzenegger/PROFESSIONAL body builder types not so much. :noway:

    Also, I think a guy can look fantastic, but have a lousy personality/attitude/air of superiority which makes him unattractive. Keep in mind, too, that, as a rule, women are more insecure about their looks than men (whether they want to admit it or not), so some of the reasons women site muscles as a turnoff has more to do with their insecurities about dating men who (in their mind) are in a more attractive class of people than they are. I know, I've been there. It takes alot of confidence and an attitude of self acceptance to date someone who turns heads everywhere they go...and that goes for BOTH sexes.

    I think if they're too ripped it gets gross. I personally like it when they have strength, I like when my man can pick me up and make me feel tiny :)

    If only he didn't have facial hair. Otherwise, that's pretty close to perfection :)

    I don't like muscle, even standard muscular guys like Taylor Lautner are a turn off for me. Aside from the aesthetics of muscle definition being just gross, I find it vain and off putting that someone would put so much effort into their appearance. I know that seems pretty hypocritical being a member of a fitness website but that's just how I feel regarding the opposite sex. I like men who are naturally attractive. As in, don't need to manipulate any part of their appearance in order to be hot. Face is the biggest decider for me on whether or not I find someone attractive, looks-wise.

    But, that's just my personal opinion.

    Every little thing we do basically manipulates our appearance.:tongue:

    This picture confirms without a shadow of a doubt that I am not gay (not that there's anything wrong with being gay mind...)

    I must be the only person on this thread who is far more interested in the strapline than the pic which says "The 6 foot 5 actor works out twice a day, six days a week." With that amount of effort he deserves that physique.

    Also, I like how at the beginning of the thread lots of women said that they wouldn't want someone who lives in the gym but presented with the evidence of what that achieves the jaws (and the underwear I'm guessing) started dropping soon enough...

    That Brad Pitt look is pretty nice, but I think I like it more because he is covered in blood and looks a little crazy
