    I presonally do not like men with huge muscle and I don't really think skinny boys are attractive either.

    It's all in the wording. The topic is "woman who don't like men with tons of muscles". If a guy posted "Men who don't like women with tons of fat", there would be a sh*tstorm. Now it would be perfectly acceptable here for them to post "Men who don't like women with tons of muscle." There is a definite bias on this site against muscle already. This topic just adds to it.

    I see more bias against people without a lot of muscle. How many times a day do you see "cardio makes you look good with clothes on, lifting makes you look good naked" or something similar?

    yea, but the difference is that's true.

    I'm sure they both are true, since we are talking about opinions.

    This is a very recent MFP phenomenon. And only the most zealous of lifting-junkies are saying that. There's plenty of runners/cardio bunnies who look good.

    I'm obese. I'm not muscular. But it's an obvious shot at people who are. And seeing as I wanted to lift more weights and become stronger, I will eventually become "muscly" or "bulky" or whatever people want to call it. So apparently I'm ****ed if I do, ****ed if I don't.

    Lean/athletic/ripped are fine

    if they look like some of the guys on World's Strongest Man or bigger (Bodybuilders)---no thank you.
    They look like they're made of plastic or leather. Big turn off.

    I don't like muscly men at all. David Tennant is my ideal man, and happens to look a lot like my husband.

    I don't find myself attracted to overly-muscular men, but I absolutely admire all the hard work they put into their body.

    My boyfriend is tall and lanky, but if he toned up just a wee bit, he would be irresistible

    I find myself attracted to men that are ......men. Yep, I like men. All shapes and sizes. That about sums it up. ;)

    I like a man who looks just how my husband looks - whatever that may be at any given time - because I love HIM.

    I love Adam Levine from Maroon 5, and I have bigger muscles than he does probably. But, he's still HOT!

    It is my opinion that women who say they don't like 'muscley men' only say so because a 'muscley man' hasn't taken interest in them.

    You're opinion would be wrong. I've had "muscley men" take an interest. I prefer teddy bears. Thank you.

    No you're not!! No matter what your shape or size there will always be someone that doesn't like it. That's just the way it is.

    I'm sure there are some that wouldn't think I "look good naked". But the only person whose opinion on it matters to me thinks I do.

    I've always been attracted to men who are lean with a little bit of muscle, or average-built. I do not think a ton of muscle makes a man more attractive, especially if the muscles are bulging out of their clothing. I like a strong man, but not one who looks like they could break me in half with their bare hands.

    I second the poster who said they like Adam Levine. He is very attractive.

    I'm not criticizing you , but an opinion is subjective by its very nature; the person who voices it can be wrong or right regardless of the other possibilities , (unless it's 6 sigma that's pretty much as certain as it gets:laugh: )

    I like big, tall men that are muscular (I LOVE to feel super tiny compared to them), but aren't all cut up to where you can tell all they do is go to the gym and stare at themselves all day. To me, some fat on a man's belly is better than 8pack abs. It's "manlier" to me.

    What I love about my husband is that he is big, tall and muscular and he got those muscles from doing real work...Working on cars, working on our house, construction work...stuff that has a purpose beyond vanity(obviously working out has health benefits, but honestly that's not the thing that motivates most people to work out, looking better is) That, to me is so much more attractive than a meat head who lives in the gym.

    why is this conversation in the fitness and exercise forum and not the chit chat forum?

    People need to know what they're supposed to be aiming for with their training. You should be taking notes as to what people on the interwebs find attractive.

    Some people in life just have low standards for what they like, it's important to raise your standards so you're happy.

    Sorry I miss posted in the wrong forum, and I wasn't trying to hurt the feelings of dudes that have big mucles, I just wanted to point out for the dudes that don't its cool there are woman that dig that, there's no need to be a**'s

    And it makes me sad :(

    Tall and skinny with lean arm and stomach muscles, but mostly just tall and skinny.

    ...or they don't like 'muscley men'
    I find that many (not all but many) extremely muscule-y men are compensating for something - height, personality, wallet size, penis size. A lot of the time they are very self absorbed too. I don't really mind muscules, I just mind the personality they usually come with.
