This is directed at men and women. Do you like the look of a man with muscle? I mean toned is ok on a man, but all that flexing and oiling and checking themselves out in the mirror, I find kind of feminine. And I don't want my man to be more feminine than me.

    I like bones. My dream guy has a thigh gap.

    Maybe it is the secret dominant rager that lies deep within.

    I mean, I like my husband, but his huge, bulky muscles are just so hard and bulky. :flowerforyou:

    As long as he's not all bulky and masculine looking. Because that would be gross.

    I like men with meat on their bones. The body builder type turns me OFF, big time.

    I like lean and toned as well as a little "meat on the bones." Actually, I find the ones smack dab in the middle most attractive. So they can cuddle like a teddy bear but are still strong! Haha!

    I tend not to think of professional body builders as attractive.

    I'm going for the long, lean look of the dancers in my head. That's why I do only pilates and yoga.

    Bulging muscles and huge veins turn me off. I prefer a more natural look. Wide shoulders with a nice chest in between is what I prefer.

    :laugh:

    I like him fairly in shape and have a weakness for defined chest and arms. I can hug my husband and just my hands overlap so he's perfect for me. Or I have T-Rex arms.

    whatever makes him happy.

    but you DO realize the first guy is in a competition, right? he isnt that lean year round...you cut down for the contest.

    If I can break out a magic marker and trace all of the veins in your body, you will be a grand work of art that will never see the inside of my bedroom. Ditto if your biceps are bigger than your head. I like a man with definition, or without, as long as I don't have to be worried about breaking him, or him, me.

    Basically, if you've got the cuddle and the stamina, bring it on. Hypothetically, of course.

    TBH they're all sexy! Skinny, plump, tall, short, bulking, leaning, bulging muscles, lean muscles ... Men are just sexy. And the older I get, the more I appreciate them all! ;)

    Yes maam, I realize this. This is my personal opinion of what I find attractive in terms of muscle, and while I do like muscly men, I am turned off by the bodybuilder type.

    I like them all. Some people say I like them too much, but they don't know me or my life!
