How big is too big?

in Chit-Chat
So I'm bulking until January. I still have some definition in my abs but not as chiseled as it was. However, my back, chest, traps, and arms are all getting pretty big. I have had several guys tell me I"m getting "too big". Now I'm not trying to look like Mr. Olympia or anything just add some size to some areas. So I guess my question is more aimed at the females.. When is enough enough?

Oh P.S. for the ones with the dirty minds....Is there a such thing as too big?

    I'm only answering the non dirty question ;)

    I think all women are attracted to different body types though, so really, you should go by how you feel about your own muscle mass I would think. I can tell you personally I like guys who are toned but not "giant". Muscle definition = good. Bulk = not.

    You look great from what I can tell though!

    Thank you for not having creepy here are only my abs picture also.

    When your head starts looking tiny compared to your body.

    No, there is no such thing as too big...at least from what I have seen

    I'm with Sadie ... Every woman likes different things, just as men have their preferences. Personally, I don't find super-cut, 6-pack men all that attractive... I like broad shouldered, solid teddy bear men.

    Must. Refrain. From. Jumping. In. Gutter...

    *deep deep calming breaths*

    Okay...now that I've channeled my sweet and innocent side...Yes, a guy who is all rippling muscle and popping veins is NOT hot to me. The competitive body builders do not look good. But give me a tall man who has some muscle definition and I am in instant lust...

    Jumping back into the gutter...in other things having to with the male body, my short answer is NO. HELL NO.

    1. Too big is when you feel you are too big, not others.

    2. When it hurts.

    When you look like you suffer from shrunken head syndrome, you're too big.

    I've seen some toys that have intimidated me at the toy store, but I've never met a guy that looked like that, so when it causes pain it is too big.

    As far as muscles go, you should do what you want. It's your body. If you want to be big, be big!


    As for the other one, in my opinion, yes it can be too big.

    I don't like when the neck is larger around than the head. That's gross in my opinion, but to each their own.

    As for question 2, yes, there is such a thing as too big.

    For the question 2, this is really a preference thing for women. Something, in fact, I have never had to worry about.

    But, if you find that you are well endowed and need to understand if your woman can handle it, short of starting to sing "I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped......"

    Just try and look for subtle hints. See how her expression changes.

    Below is a good visual cue to know that you might be slightly too large.

    Yes for both. I like muscle and meat on a guy. I dont like when guys have muscles on top of their muscle lol. I like a 6 pack, muscular arms but anymore than that would get scary. As for the secong question, I say 10+ for ME is too big. I prefer 7-8.

    You would.

    All "natural" birth, and there are STILL men who are too big for me, even after having a 10 lb baby. :flowerforyou:

    And for OP: I prefer a cut look to a bulked look on men.

    Well, without a picture of yourself right now, I couldn't answer your question.

    As for the other "dirty" question: Yes, there is too big.

    I cannot tell if you were being snarky with me or not, but I am assuming you were.

    For question #2 it depends on the woman. While there is a lot good prep can do to ease things in regards to girth, there is also actual body limitations to take into account for length. Men are different sizes and so are women.

    From a female perspective... I like men to be really big. Like Hulk Hogan big - I think the ripped look is sexy.

    You can have the nice cut arms but you better be soft in the middle. That's how I like em.
