Hey Girls I'd like a female opinion on something

So out of curiosity, do you prefer the big and bulky look on a guy or the bodybuilder fitness model look? Pretty much every girl I've talked to about this does not like the extremely over sized juiced up look.

    Everyone is different but to me a little bit of muscle is sexy but too much isn't.

    I like a guy who looks like he has his priorities in line. Meaning that he doesn't look like he eats, sleeps, and breathes the gym. :smile:
  • Some guys can grow big muscles by doing a lot of high rep exercises, but won't gain very much strength. I'm sure some girls will go more for the look over the utility. Personally I'd rather be strong than look like I'm strong.

    Looks are far less important to women in general I would say. Look fit and healthy, but be interesting, make me laugh, show that you have a caring side and will be a good dad, and have some interests and opinions. Meat heads don't impress... Says the married for nearly ten years mum of 2 with a baldy hubby! What do I know :-)

    I like a guy who looks like he keeps himself in shape and doesn't spend every waking moment working on how he looks.

    To me certain bodybuilder types send out a signal of "hey, look at how self-absorbed and vain I am!"

    Not sexy.

    And let's not even talk about the balloon look some of them have going on. I prefer a guy with a beer gut to that, honestly.

    Of course that's my personal opinion based on taste and preference. Which is what you asked for, eh? So there ya go. :smile:

    Now, having said all that, I really like a guy who works his tail off for his family, throws his strength into the ring to protect those in his care, is faithful and loyal and has integrity as well as a sense of humor. And more than a couple brain cells to rub together so you can actually have an intelligent conversation with him. That's what I married anyway, and I'm quite enjoying it. :drinker:

    I'd rather be with someone strong than someone who looked strong, I think!

    Dislikes: Men with huge upper bodies and pencil legs, men with hugely thick necks, men who walk like a gorilla because their pecs and biceps are so tight and overworked and their muscles are totally imbalanced

    Likes: Men who work out, men who take care of themselves. Men who like their own body and are happy with it. Men who seek out health & fitness in whatever way they enjoy. Men with a brain who aren't total meatheads. Men with balanced muscles that look like they used their body to actually do something and not just for looks.

    Basically I supposed what I'm getting at is, if there is a particular look that you find looks good on you and makes you happy, then there will be women who are attracted to it and attracted to you because you are happy with yourself.

    Can't tell you about girls tho. Not a lot of girls in this group. Just women. Haha :wink: :tongue:

    What she said. I really do not prefer the Arnold look.

    I think the puffy,bodybuilding steroids with man boobs looks gross.

    Men with thunder thighs and squat *kitten* are pretty appealing.

    I have been out with an ex squaddie who then began steroiding up to grow. I do not find extremely muscley as attractive as lean and fit. But then none of my boyfriends have been lean and fit LOL! Pfffffft!

    I like men period!!

    I like a guy who is doing what is in his power to look the way that he wants himself to look. And who isn't concerned about the things that aren't in his control.

    Because that's what I am doing myself -- doing what I can and letting go of the rest.

    Yes, that's where I like to see a bit of muscle. Forget the biceps!

    Happy medium. Moderation. I like a guy who looks active... By that I don't mean looks like he pumps iron 5 days a week, but looks like he can run, lift heavy things or play a sport. Lots of guys who can do those things have more bodyfat than the bodybuilders prefer & don't have a visible 6-pack, but I think they look fine. Good arms/shoulders, and some calf muscles. A little belly jiggle never killed anyone.

    I'm not into guys who are skin & bone, and look like they can't carry a sack of potatoes. I'm also not into the blown up oompa loompa guys with huge pecs & tiny shirts being eaten up by their armpits. I imagine guys who are that bulky are rock hard & it would feel like you're cuddling up to a giant boulder.

    And the super overweight thing, no... The guy shouldn't look 6 months pregnant, like he'd keel over if he had to run or that he eats enough to feed a family every day.

    Most ladies like the NCR Physique division. That is the perfect body. The body builders are interesting but not sexy at all IMO

    I mean I think this is true, for partners.

    If you are asking what I would most like to lick all over with no intention of any kind of relationship? Mmm.

    I mean. I guess we should clarify what you mean in terms of those bodies as well.

    Because a LOT of what people call gross (not cool by the way, those guys work very hard for that and they are proud of their bodies, it may not be to your tastes but I doubt they want to be told they are ugly) is guys who are supremely dehydrated, did a carb loaded pump immediately before, and then are flexed and posed in a way to make their muscles very visible.

    NO ONE looks like that all the time.

    SO NOW I WILL JUST LEAVE YOU ALL WITH THIS MESSAGE.

    Oo, this turned fun.

    I like this:

    I like the added knowledge that he can turn around and take somebody out, if they messed with me.

  • This is my new favorite thread.

    Sorry dude you probably didn't know you were going to spark a thread full of topless hot men.

    I find all of these guys pictured extremely sexy... but really don't expect that out of a guy in real life, because these guys get paid to basically be attractive for a living!

    ANYWAY.. thought I'd share this.

    And he has a wicked sense of humor and is kind of a goofball which I'm apparently really into.
    (also either this background is green screen or he face planted on to the deck afterwards)

    @Tameko - love that you chose the avengers.. I would take them and RD Jr too!!

    You say here that you'd rather BE strong than look strong. So do that. Find a girl who likes you for how you like yourself, instead of catering who you are to please someone else. Good luck!

    I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell women who ask this question of men:

    Might as well ask girls what their favorite color is. Everyone is going to have a different one. Go with the girl you prefer. Find a girl that like you for that, and yeah that other thing called personality.

    For life partners, I'm not bothered so long as they're stronger than me, and ideally take a, larger size in pants.

    For drool-candy, Kevin Smith in his Ares days would do me just fine.
