    I am starting to get bigger and bigger in the arms and shoulder/back and getting veiny which I like personally. I have come to the conclusion the bigger my biceps get and the more fat I lose the more my veins show.

    I can see them in my neck, forearms, bi's and tri's and my jawline is getting very obvious. None the less I am just going to get veinier and veiner as the BF% drops so........I guess what I am saying is be who you are and as long as you are happy with the progress!

    I want a full 6 pack and V but I dont know if it's in me or not. I can feel the abs and V under the flab and I can feel the flab getting thinner and thinner but I dont want to end up with that bodybuilder bloated muscular stomach look......EWWWWW

    Sounds like a winning look, but truthfully, it's all about the personality. Bein jacked is just the icing on the cake!

    This thread is endlessly fascinating to me - it seems like I'll never figure out what women are looking for physically - yeah, I get the personality/smile/laughing thing comes first - but we're talking physical improvement on this thread right?

    In the abstract aman with chiselled abs is very pleasing to the eye. but you kind of get to thinking that hypothetical perfect abs guy spends a lot of time perfecting these abs, and loves these abs (and the rest of his perfect body more than he would have the capacity to love another person...

    I think its important (for men and women actually) to be as healthy as possible (of course). But in terms of relationships I have chosen because of personality compatibilty primarily, tall/handsome were a bonus! I'm all about serious fun!

    haha I thought so too, but a lot of girls aren't playing along;P Either that or maybe they just have a really hard time separating the two? I know I have trouble separating physical looks and personality if I KNOW the person. Either way though, you are going to get mixed answers because we are all attracted to different body types.

    Looks pretty good to me... now just throw in a lil cologne with that smile and personality and you'll hook anyone you want

    Well, surely you have your answer by now and are just milking all of this attention but I can't say I blame ya. My opinion is a strong upper body says a lot (triceps are my weakness...) Fit abs, not necessarily cut to a 6 pack but toned. Veins are a total turn off for me. I don't like the body-builder physique at all, especially the cocky attitude that goes with it. Even when you know you look good, don't act like you know it. Ugh. Just be real.

    What attention? I have no abs. I am contributing to my own thread and last time I checked it was an open discussion.

    I have to take a minute and laugh.... laugh hard at some of the comments in this thread. :laugh: #1 a physically fit body is attractive, #2 Nice abs on a man or woman are hot #3 a person who puts that much devotion/effort in to getting and keeping their body fit is HOT. However, everyone has a personal opinion about that is attractive to them. Some men like big bootys and others don't. Same thing. :)

    So I need to stop where I'm at, or what?

    You should do whatever YOU are comfortable with and whatever makes you happy. Who cares what other think of your abs...

    Or was this a self-promotional plug? smile. Good job. You've done well.

    Most of the women here are thinking alike, regardless of what they like, you need to do what you want. I myself prefer a toned body, 6 pack is nice, forget the veins, hard biceps. I like to know I am in bed with a man, not a hunk of concrete. Just sayin' :bigsmile:

    flat stomach with mild definition in the ABS (yes)
    chiseled abs, and vascularity (no)

    I usually go for someone who can make me laugh!

    Um, I can't speak for all of womankind, but I'd hate to be judged on the basis of how my stomach looks. Especially knowing that it's going to change over time.

    I agree! Personality is everything and someone who is pleasant for ME to look at. A caring and decent human being is attractive, obsession over looks is not attractive. We all age, lose some hair, get wrinkled, and live in frail bodies that are prone to breaking and disease and have the dreaded " morning face and hair". If you base EVERYTHING on looks, you'll get someone who also bases EVERYTHING on looks. Perfection is a transitory state to live in. That is my opinion. Best of luck to you.

    I agree whole heartedly with the sense of humour part, but the part that will get me every time is a guy with a great smile. There is nothing better than a smile that makes your heart melt, but a good pair of broad shoulders doesn't hurt either (I like a little meat on my men :P)

    That photo of little Asian-ish guy is NOT what I would strive for. For me, I'd rather have a guy with a gut than a guy that's that freaking skinny! But then again, I have a hard time drawin the line at what's "too much" muscle...

    Call me :-) I just ate that little guy for lunch..and I am just past the appetizer. LOL

    I can't stand visible veins on men. It freaks me out. I couldn't care less about a six pack either. It's all about facial attractiveness and personality for me. Good teeth, hair and eyes. I don't like the waxed look.


    I don't think many women want a man who looks like he will spend more time in the gym than having fun with her. In fact, not even a 10th of the time in the gym. There's not a lot of point in a look you can't maintain once you are in a relationship.

    Top on my list is if the guy is GOOD MAN. Nothing fancy, just a good man in the old-fashioned sense: kind, funny, thoughtful.

    Of course, abs are nice IMO, but veins, not so much... I'll take some great shoulders and nice forearms over a good set of abs any day. The V can be a little scary -- such as, will that hurt in bed??? LOL
