Girls... Is muscle a turn off?

Well you already know that my ex dropped to 2% body fat for his fights... and that I preferred him with a bit of meat on him...

Muscles are awesome... but you don't want their arms bigger than their head... nor do you want them on steroids to achieve the look...

So muscles is a turn off if it's not in proportion...

Also, if you're going to have big arms... please don't neglect your legs. Twigs are not a good look.

PS. I work with soldiers, pilots and navy seals... some have the hottest bodies (ie. clearance divers... *DROOL*...) of lean muscle... but when they open their mouths you go "did you just say that?" such a loss...

Muscles like in Rugby player I say....

Piri Weepu.. what a gorgeous lower backside ^^... and Sonny Bill Williams? Yes please ^^

i was flicking through this thread and was just thinking "rugby players" to describe (part of) my preference

every year there is a black and white art photo calendar produced called "Dieux Du Stade", it started out as nudes of the french rugby team but has spread out over the years to include other nationalities/sports but the french still make up the core.

oh. my. word. at a purely superficial level, these photos are both beautiful (in the aesthetic/art sense) and very very hot (to me:). And the really lovely thing is while there are the very ripped guys, there are some who obviously have much higher body fat%s while still being strong/fit (they are top sports men after all) and some all the way over on the stereotypical bulky/hairy/somewhat battered rugby player side and **all** of them look beautiful. (there are a number of truly hilarious poses too. along with some poses that a more puritan minded sports profesional would have a heart attack at the thought of:)

Hilarious!!!!

Height> Confidence >Looks >Money

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

I am glad I'm not the only one who feels the same. Like last night at the bar, I saw this really cute guy. When he came up and talked to me, he said he was 5'5, and my heart just sunk...there are plenty of shorter girls who would be attracted to him at his height, but I just couldn't see myself with him since i'm 5'8.

Another person who has the perfect body, because he has a great body but his muscles aren't bulging:

I agree!

This is hot....



This is not....

I prefer muscles than no muscles at all I suppose. As long as the muscles are for the most part not illegal (gross). Muscles are hot to me.

I have mixed feelings really. I think that fit muscular guys CAN be attractive.. But personally I like uber tall thin/lean men (or so my track record says)

I vote for muscles. Body builder is too much. I personally do not like skinny legs either, so don't forget about your calves. There is nothing I hate more than I guy with 25 inch biceps and 12 inch calves. :P

But seriously, I think the best look is something that looks like: I work hard and I am strong because I do a lot of activity, not because I am hanging out in the gym to get more size. Defined shoulders, chest, and limbs. Think beach volleyball player or a swimmer or some tennis players. Basketball players and soccer players are a good choice too.

LOVE! And, by all accounts, he has the sweet disposition/strong moral character to go with the good looks. Too bad he's eleven years younger than me. I feel like a perv for even looking at that pic. LOL

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???

I love looking at a guy with a hot body! I think muscles are VERY attractive! Even women with large muscles, they catch me looking at them in the gym but it is not a sexual attraction with the women, just admiration! The guys, however, it is a mix of admiration and instataneous attraction :blushing: It shows that that person cares enough to work hard and does not envy a day of sitting on the couch watching TV endlessly and lives life fully!

I agree!

This is hot....



This is not....

Definitely agreeeeeeeeee!!! If you are so big where you can not put your arms around me or put your arms together to hold a baseball bat then wht would even be the point?? Talk about a vomit attack!

I like a nice toned body with some definition. I can do without all the neck muscles and stuff.

lean muscles and rippeded abs a turn-off? On what planet??!!?

I, personally, have always liked a guy that was a little thicker.. BUT I think that was because it made me feel a little bit better about myself. Currently, my fwb is a twig, and I feel awkward being out with him cause I know I'm one of those people that will point out a couple like us and how it doesn't look right...

1546mel

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

hot!

He is too little! I need a little more meat and age on him! he looks like he is just out of high school. :ohwell: maybe im getting old!

"Hot body" is subjective. I like a well kept man. Someone who takes care of himself but isn't overly preoccupied with that. I've dated all body types (overweight, body builder, tall and thin, short and thin and average) I'd have to say that that overweight is not for me, it represents a lock of self control/discipline. That being said, overly body conscious can be annoying as well. I guess it all comes back to happy medium ... not too much one way or the other.

HOWEVER, good teeth and hygiene (oral and otherwise) are a MUST! :bigsmile:

THIS is a turn on.




THIS is not.

**This** I think muscles can be very sexy... But I dont like a triangle body... All upper no lower. Twig legs on built upper body makes me want to vomit. Gotta have toned legs too!!
