Men don't need a great physique to impress women

I would have to say I am attracted to more of a normal guy than a ripped guy. But that's me!0

Just don't grow your hair out like the dude in the second picture.
whatever! I love long haired men. So badass!0 -
I can't say that I WOULDNT like an extremely cut man, because I haven't been with one... yet. haha :blushing:0

TBH a lot of women say a good body doesn't matter but the reality is, since I became the size and in shape I am now I've had miles more interest.
I agree. Any woman who says they don't like the bod is a lllllliiiar!
I get the personality piece, it's important in the long-run.0 -
Is that Super Jesus?
That made me laugh out loud.
I much prefer Ryan Gosling's look to Super Jesus.0 -

I have to agree here. When I was in highschool at 115lbs. I barely got a second look and was written off as the nerdy geeky funny kid.TBH a lot of women say a good body doesn't matter but the reality is, since I became the size and in shape I am now I've had miles more interest. I'm certainly no more confident, I don't show off, I just potter about doing no more than I did... but these days I get stopped in the street and chatted up by women and also gawped at and asked questions by men... so for me the difference is quite literally night an day.
Quite hilarious that the generalization that a BBer will spend more time in the mirror than a woman tho. Thats like saying all people who are overweight eat cake every day. Even if they spent time in front of the mirror, how is it any different to you wimmins LOL?
After high school and 30lbs heavier, the same girls that I had interest in, but didn't have interest in me, became interested when my physique changed.
To this day I'll still get hit on in the gym and I'll keep accepting the compliments.

Agreed. We are professionals.
The reverse is also true. Women shouldn't sculpt themselves to please men. A lot of men prefer no muscles and big boobs. Yeah, I don't give a crap. Thanks.
loved that honesty!!0 -
Thanks nutandbutter. Dammit he's ripped. That's a lot of dedication0
-
I like this too!0 -
ryan reynolds is just perfect for me!0

i would want a inbetween the Ryan R look and the "super jesus" look. Women say that the body doesnt count, but come on!!!! it does, like a guy saying that he like "eyes" as abest feature, COME ON MAN!!!!
lol, cant believe I just wasted 30 seconds of my life to post a reply to this.0 -
Do i Really need to write my comment twice.. yet another man deciding on what women like.Clearly, he's pretty much right about this. It also said "most", not all. :drinker:0 -
I'd ride pic#1's horse but ride past #2's.0
-
Also, I know I am in the minority but I like men w/ hair on their chests. Do not like the waxed look. It's too weird.
YES! Me toooooooo. I don't like it when my man looks prettier, smoother and has better eyebrows than I do.0 -
The only thing about the Frank Zane pic that I don't like (other than the Speedo) is that his triceps just look over-developed to me. Maybe it's the angle of the photo. Certainly I recognize and admire the amount of hard work and discipline it takes to achieve a body like that, and I'm the type of person who takes cues about a man's character based on things like that ... not so much the body, just the apparent work ethic.
Ryan Gosling ... I can't even go there because he looks exactly like my brother.
Alex O'Loughlin ... I think it's more the Navy SEAL/Hawaii Five-0 persona than his body, but I would do that man every way but wrong.0 -
I prefer my man big and cuddly. Not one for the ripped look.
Seriously though, I was so in love with Seth Rogen before he got skinny. Why is it that some people don't looks as good whenafter losing weight.. and aren't as funny.

I think the responses to this thread have proven me to be correct.0 -
This is very hypocritical of me but I find this dude way too thin...(this coming from the woman that looks like a 10 year old boy in drag and is fervently eating over 2100 calories to gain weight).
Super Jesus isn't my cup of tea either ....I'm either attracted to kinda chubby guys or a lean athletic build with bigger arms. A bit of a belly isn't a turn off.
I have a very specific type I guess. Kinda funny since my physique isn't attractive to most men.0 -
I don't care much to be honest, if he's got a broad strong back...ooooohhh yeah me likey. Whether he's a twiggy little guy or a big bear I don't really care. My bf is a twig, no muscle what so ever but I love the guy lol wouldn't change him for anything X30
-
Is that Super Jesus?
Ha ha. Hilarious. He grosses me out. Seriously I don't like that look. First one please x0 -
I'm all about a nice face. Don't really care much about body, as long as he is bigger than me (haha) and cares about his health. Of course, personality supercedes everything else.0
-
I wouldn't say he is either. Honestly, he kinda looks like a guy that only does chest, arms, and abs. The fact that most women actually prefer this look is the reason I never have to wait for the squat rack.
I don't know that MOST prefer it.. I SURE as hell dont! Keep hitting the gym

I prefer #1, but as long as the guy has a few nice features, I can usually find something attractive about them.0

:laugh: @ Super Jesus
I'm waiting for someone to get offended at that..but omfg its so :laugh: :laugh:0 -
it means they prefer a man that is a hard worker and his body is the production of hard work thru his job, or life style. meaning, he most likely has working man hands and a great 6 pk from working the land and such.. the body you get from that is a completely different style of a body you build in a gym. usually more lean and sleek and pure muscle. they dont bulk, there is no ripping veins and muscles. its more of a pure man look.
What does that even mean?
and i agree, i prefer that look too!0 -
There are alot of guys that work hard but have a gut. That man you seek is pretty rare.0
