a question for the ladies
Ladies, I need your expertise.
How important is men's overall body!! size to you?
Do you prefer a somewhat skinny, yet really lean and toned body, or are you more into shirt-popping, bulky guys? Or something in between?
Just wondering how much opinions differ here. Thanks.

Personally never really cared up until I started lifting. Now I find bigger, bulky, muscular guys more attractive..Probably because I have respect for them achieving that look and know how much effort went into getting there now that I've gotten into lifting myself.0

No shirt-popping, thank you. Just healthy and active with a nice smile.

Honestly body size doesn't matter much to me, aside from checking a dude out from afar purposes.
But for the sake of your post, I like a body that's big - and not necessarily bulky or muscular. Just big in that a hug envelopes me and makes me feel safe/secure.0 -
I couldn't care less.0

Personally, I like larger than average, not skinny, but you'll find opinions from one end of the scale to the other. So, bottom line is do what makes you happy, and the right girl will be attracted (and if she is really the right girl it won't matter what you look like).0

Couldn't agree more....My husband is a big strong safe teddy bear and I love it!!0 -
so, what you're saying is, I should hit the gym hard every day no matter how much pain and physical anguish it causes me? Because, God know, I've been looking for the wrong girl my whole life ;-)Personally, I like larger than average, not skinny, but you'll find opinions from one end of the scale to the other. So, bottom line is do what makes you happy, and the right girl will be attracted (and if she is really the right girl it won't matter what you look like).

As long as you don't skip leg day, that's the important thing.

Insecurity is defiantly not attractive.0

It does not matter to me, honestly. If I like someone, I just like that person... But I seem most attracted to skinnier guys or average guys, but that's just my experience so far. I'm not sure if it's a pattern

I have no idea what a Birder is! Is it...a fan of birds and bird watching?
It's from a haiku I liked.
Furious flutter/awakened hummingbird heart/hello, hello love.

An ideal body type?
A man with some muscle is enough. A man with a lot is good, too.
Muscle in general shows effort, ability, and power.
If he has extra weight but you can see strong calf muscles or strong arms then it's all good.
Personally, I'm way more worried about integrity and personality in a man.

Definitely not skinny. Something to hold onto is nice and gives us a view to admire. Confidence and humor trump it, though!0

oh, how disappointing. I always think muscular calves are so ugly, both in women and men.

Lol... It was an example of how even subtle areas show power.
It doesn't have to be crazy muscular. Just strong looking.

Really?? How can you not have muscular calves If your working out... It just happens...

Buff! Think Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Yes, please!0

It's more about confidence, personality. I went out with a guy who worked out a lot, had a great muscular toned body, but he was a doofus. So I left him for my husband, who hardly ever works out. In saying that, he's of a healthy weight, not super toned but has got good muscle tone. As long as the guy weighs more than me it doesn't really matter how they look..0

Well, maybe muscular is the wrong word. I just don't like big calves.

It all depends. Sometimes the personality can make/break how attractive someone is physically, I think. My boyfriend isn't super buff, but he lifts and runs (though he hasn't ran in a while) so he's got muscular thighs, legs and arms, they're just not bulging. He's at a healthy weight, I like how he looks 0
