    I think men and women are very similar in their 'often wrong' views on what the opposite sex finds attractive. They pick up a magazine and think they have to look like that guy/girl in order to be attractive.

    I personally prefer someone with a bit more meat on them. Just an average build not overweight but by no have loads of muscles just toned I suppose not totally defined.

    Saying that I think everyone has their own preference. And remember looks are not the most important thing. Some people also like intelligence :)

    Definitely cut with medium muscles and a low body fat percentage and NOT at all bulky! I'm not into bulky guys at all.

    This guy is super hot and can pull it off, but any bulkier than this and it's a major turn off for me.


    I generally go for guys with a build more like this:

    exactly what she said to a T. I'm not into bulky at all either.

    100% agree

    Now I see what we are talking about. #2 here is way to thin for my tastes.

    That's kinda tough. I would like bulky and cut. But I'm not sure that's what you're asking. Not sure if bulky means chunky in this question.

    But I'm sure my man prefers me more cut and less bulky. LOL

    Someone with enough muscle not to drop me and someone with smaller bobbies than me, all that aside someone who is healthy and has a sense of humour is all it takes. In answer to your question, I think you have it about right, not too much cut but just enough bulk.

    YES! I think being really cut means long hours in the gym and kind of ridiculous eating / drinking habits, so I wouldn't like to hang out with someone that nuts for very long. I am nuts enough for both of us in terms of food and calories and weighing things out.

    I also think being funny trumps a guy with a rocking bod any day of the week.

    This is starting to get amusing. I'd prefer to have a relationship with an intelligent, caring, and insightful man. Sexy comes in many forms!

    I prefer when a man looks like he doesn't spend all of his time in the gym, but his body comes from physical work.
    However it's done, that's your secret. Like it's a woman's secret how we're so hairless. :wink:

    Aha!!!!! LOVE this! Agree 100%!!!!!!!!

    I don't know what the difference is between cut and bulk, but I don't like giant buff guys. Yuck.

    Ideally a man like Arnie in the Conan days, but failing that I would rather a chap that is huge and bulky than a dude that is more slender but has loads of definition. I am assuming bulk to mean muscle and not fat btw. Fat does not float my boat!

    My man has broad shoulders and muscular arms, chest and legs. (and a really really great butt) :tongue: I honestly don't care about a 6 pack. It looks great w/a shirt off but to be honest I like to have a strong back to support me and strong arms to surround me. He is more "bulky" but not chubby. That's perfect for me!

    As long as he's got strong arms and no gut, I'm happy :)

    i think you can look good either way. :3 my bf is personally bulkey>lean. but he's not tall, and has square hips, so its befitting. not to mention all his muscle build is either natural, or from martial arts.

    Really? Personally I find both those men too small. And I don't mean muscular wise, I mean build wise.

    THIS is a man for me!! . :love:

    I like a guy with muscles but mostly I like a man who is just built like a brick **** house. Broad chest, broad shoulders...tall. YES YES YES.

    My bf now has a 46" chest and he doesn't even work out. I just want to lay on it all day hehe :heart:

    On a magazine cover I like it more cut/less bulky.

    For a guy that I'm with I would be really happy that the guy is healthy and cares about himself!

    a tad bit more bulky & slightly less cut makes for a good cuddle..strong but soft at the same time. :D I wanna see some nice muscles, just not too many.

    Posted already but got missed:

    What's wrong with bulky and lean?

    We body builders seem to have a bad rep - why is this?

    The reason I say is I never had as much attention from women til I got bigger. Is it always a case of what this thread goes or does looks and personality go hand in hand?

    Personally I don't mind and it's really going to vary from person to person.. Like some men prefer women with bigger boobs, smaller boobs, big booty, skinner/larger/curvier it just comes down to personal taste. I think whatever works for you and makes you happy and healthy is great. I don't think it's right of people to make fun of bodybuilders for wanting to be physically stronger/fitter etc. There is a stereotype however, that guys who spend loads of times working on their muscles are dumb/meatheads. Of course, a stereotype is a stereotype and not applicable to every guy.

    Physically, I actually prefer sort of chubby guys, not too big, just a bit on the chubby side and taller than me. I also go for guys who are smart and funny and personality trumps looks a million times over for me.

    Does anyone know any Body Builders (BBers) that are dumb meat heads or is that just a pure stereotype? Most BBers I know are as soft as you like and chatty and friendly giants. Just sayin' :happy:

    As I already said, Arnie a la Conan is the ideal man. In the real world though, such gents are in short supply and you need to be a pretty stunning female to attract one. Also, I believe there is a perception that body builders live in the gym and have no time for outside pursuits. It takes a lot of work to get that big(assuming they are not ultilising chemical help), so it is like a vocation. The strict diet and exercise regime probably wouldn't allow for going out on the rip on the weekend, although this may be a misconception. Not to mention, how would you meet such a man? I certainly wouldn't approach one in the free weights area, eventhough I have really wanted to ask some questions about form and isolation exercises - imagine how much more awkward it would be to try and chat them up!

    My perfect body is actually where you're at in your pic, too many muscles really put me off! though, any less muscle/tone doesnt bother me, just as long as their healthy :)

    I love all men! Just got out of a relationship with a body builder type, but, I like the cut look too as long as they're not too skinny.

    Most women misunderstand what stunning is. A good body only goes so far...
