Muscular or Skinny model look?

funny thing - i strive to be lean and muscular for myself, but in a guy i hate big muscles!! i like a guy carrying a bit of weight actually, even a bit untoned! i don't know why... its a strange thing i only just realized after reading this thread!!

Hmmmm.....where are you meeting those women? Everyone likes someone that appears attractive to them and most have a preference for a certain 'look'....but with the exception of some really air-head people (think the recent TV chick who divorced in 3 months AFTER getting the mega-rock and million dollar wedding) don't we all want substance underneath those looks.

I digress....in answer to your question, you look great where you're at, and a little more in the cut department will obviously put you in the unbelievably hot category. I don't know why you're worried about what you're weight will be, though...that confuses me but maybe I'm missing something. I think you should go with how you feel and the weight at which you feel happiest when you look in the mirror.

No matter what, you were blessed with fantastic physical attributes that you're clearly taking good care of....it's win win win win win all the way around!

Example:

Ulisses Williams...His name is Ulisses for christ's sake thats aesthetic as ****.

Whoa! Nice looking guy. I'm fine with that amount of muscle on a guy and also fine with less (I used to like them really skinny). A bit more muscle would be okay, but I don't like the muscle bound look. I've seen a few body builder guys try an aerobics class with us fat ladies before, and watched them give up and leave ten minutes in, gasping for air.

Muscles are nice, as long as they're muscles you can use and not just for show. The poor guys with the show muscles don't seem to be able to do much with them except pick heavy things up. Sometimes that type of muscle is nice to look at, but since I'm working out too now, I want someone who not only looks good, but can go jogging with me!

He also has to have a lot of other qualities (primarily intelligence) or I couldn't care less what he looks like, so all you weight lifters, don't forget to develop those minds along with the muscle, please. Stupidity and ignorance negate all other attractive qualities.

Women like guys with long flowing hair.

Actually, a lot of us do!

What girls don't realize is that to look like a meat head you'd have to be on roids. To reach your genetic potential naturally is extremely hard and takes at least 5 years to achieve of consistent hard work and dedication.

The Nichkhun in Coke Zero commercial look -- a combination of both.

muscular as long as it isnt steroid freak muscular. personally i love muscular arms, and its all personal choice, but skinny doesnt do it for me. healthy, with muscular arms, haha, does it for me. plus you have to be happy with yourself and thats what really matters.

I suppose I like a man that's somewhere in the middle. I don't dig the scrawny type. I like a man who looks like he works on cars and gets dirty. I like a man who has some lines on his face that tell a story and callused hands. Oh, and none of that waxing crap. How the hell that ever got popular for men to wax their chest and their treasure trails and everything else off is pretty ridiculous. I like a man who looks like he can jostle me around in the sack. 'Nuff said.

Whoops. Sorry about the double post.

This. I guess it's not the skinny look but he's not crazy bulky either.. just the right amount of definition and muscle..

I call this the 'middle aged guy who focuses too hard on one muscle group and now has a disproportionate and soft looking body' look.

Personally I like a bigger built guy. My BF looks like Brock Lesnar, except not quite top shape. He didn't get that way from working out at the gym, just from working. My 5'6" and medium to large frame, even at my highest weight, he makes me feel like a little petite thing. I love that. I don't feel like some giant. When he was in perfect shape, in search and rescue training with the fire department, his shoulders just barely fit to crawl through the enclosed spaces in the training course with the gear on.

But, as other people have noted, it's all personal preference. How do YOU feel, and how do you want to look? If you are wanting to appeal to girls, well, as you see here, girls are all different in what they prefer, the thing is finding one who likes you just the way you are. Don't change for someone else.

When I first saw this, I thought you meant Jay Cutler, the Chicago Bears QB. And I was very confused as to what exactly you meant. Because I am pretty sure you have more muscle than he has. But now that I know which Cutler you are talking about, I can answer this. My boyfriend has some pounds on him. But his muscles are definitely there. I love him how he is, but it's always nice to see some nice, slim, cut man meat walking around. If I think you would be able to protect me, lift me up (even at my weight now) and be able to move things in the house around because I'm too weak, then I'm all for whatever body style. But anything like in the professional body builder status, no way Jose. Weird looking.

I guess I have to say skinny because my husband is skinny, but if we get attacked, I think I will have to fight for his life and mine.

I didn't ask you to drool over him. Works fine for me and millions of women. Don't see anything soft or disproportionate there.

Go 300 on our *kitten*.... I think far left (michael fassbender) is the best, Gerard Butler's look is a BIT bulky for my preferences and far right is a little too muscle-y thick for me haha



If I encountered any of these bodies though, I would be in awe..... The confidence pulls it off
