What Men like in regards to Women's fitness

I can't speak for other men, but I find women without makeup, working out, hair flying all over, muscles gleaming, attractive. (I edited the post since I definitely did not mean to offend any women or guys. Sorry!).

    Doubt you'll get a lot of responses from the post - what you do not like, a lot of people do. Consequently you've alienated a lot of perfectly good looking, interesting women.

    One mans wine, is one mans poison.
  • I can't speak for other men, but I find women without makeup, working out, hair flying all over, muscles gleaming, etc. magnitudes of order more attractive than make-up, botox, large enlargements, no muscle, etc. When I tell women this, they think I am lying or nuts. I always get, "men like big boobs (enhancements)", "men like women in make-up", etc. Am I the only guy that thinks like this? If not, who the hell convinced women that all men like this fake, cover-up crap?

    You should know that there's a pretty wide range of tastes when it comes to what men like. These threads are started all the time by someone meaning well, but inadvertently body shaming or insulting some group of women or another. Best to just say what you like, and avoid saying what you don't.

    Thank goodness you like that because I always laugh at the ladies that come in the all make-up-up'd and little outfits that you know they aren't sweating in at all!!! I workout to workout, and yep I sweat, But then again when I'm running my miles for my 1/2 in May, I'm going to sweat!!! Thanks I love men like you!!!

    I know what you mean.

    I've never liked the Calvin Klein model-types. While all my friends drool over the latest muscle-bound hunk on TV I prefer chest hair and a podgy belly. :laugh:

    *disclaimer: No offence meant to any muscle-bound hunks on here. :wink:

    Yep.

    Men's taste are so varied that nobody should ever feel like they have to look a certain way to be attractive to someone. Sure, many girls feel that loads of make-up and surgery is what will make them attractive and to me that's sad, just be who you want to be I think. If that means surgery and make-up then fine, if that means more natural then that's fine too. Being happy in who you are I think is the most attractive thing.

    I prefer to be natural, no make-up. My boyfriend prefers that too. I know guys that are the opposite.

    I know you have good intentions, but I personaly dont give 2 sh*ts
    When I work out, I look the way I want, and I find appropriate. I'm not dressing for you or any other guy and no girl should.

    *clapping* agreed. I do things for me. I don't care what other people think. If I feel comfortable that is all that matters.

    Ya know, I never really cared about a women's fitness. Now that I realize how hard it is to acheive it I think a 6 pack on a women is really hot.

    just last week I replied to a post where the girl was trying to decide if she should get a boob job because she had had a baby and her boobs were droopy. I told her to leave them be! I told her that I believe that there comes a time in a man's life when he can truly appreciate a more mature woman's body--more padding on the hips, slight sag to the boobs, etc. Hubby has told ME that he doesn't care WHAT my boobs look like as long as there is enough there for him to bury his face in :blushing:

    Frankly, I hate when my hair is in the way... I think it's annoying.

    Other then that, I don't care in the slightest what people think of me when working out.

    Haha absolutely, I think I look my worst when i'm working out. And I don't care either. We're lucky to have our own men who think we're attractive and sexy no matter what. But I suppose not everyone does yet.

    Make up, no make up, hair flying all over, short cut hair, muscles, no muscles, big boobs, small boobs pretty much every woman I see especially if she has some confidence does it for me. They are all just beautiful creatures.

    Must say though bubba42511 got the Yoga Pants right, Yay for Yoga Pants!

    you should like a person for who they are, but a great personality is the key for me, not what they look like.

    I'm sure I'm in the minority, but as a woman, I could not care less what men find attractive.

    I'm a sweaty beast at the gym, with no makeup, my hair all tied up (even my fringe pinned back) and to be honest... I am too busy working out to worry what people think I look like while I'm doing it.

    However, I'll admit, sometimes I feel a bit insecure next to all the girls with their hair and makeup done who don't appear to sweat, so it's nice that some guys like girls like me too.
  • I'm sure I'm in the minority, but as a woman, I could not care less what men find attractive.

    Same, I do what makes me feel good about myself, I don't look for outside validation or welcome unsolicited opinions on my body/appearance, no matter if they are positive or negative.

    To expand on my earlier post-- we women are bombarded every day, everywhere, with images of what men find attractive about women. I know the topic is of great interest to MEN but it makes me want to hurl.

    Don't feel bad! Be brutally honest!
    I hate how quite a few women are 'fake' now-a-days. I wish they could just be natural and accept their bodies. I know women find it hard. I do too. Incredibly hard. But I wear eyeliner and red lipstick at most, do a lot of weights (not overly heavy as I don't want to be another Jodie Marsh!), and accept that I'd rather be a little unattractive naturally than being a barbie doll. This is so true and well said! xx
