Woman who don't like men with tons of muscles

We all have a preference, some women like men with big muscles some don't. A lot of women say they get hit on by these guys, and reject them. That's a good example.

Like for me, I don't any one who's at least 5'9" with a modeling contract, blonde hair, blue eyes, longer than shoulder length hair, clear complexion and athletic figure.

less of a joke than you think....

men talk about what they are attracted to in a woman ALL the time... why so much bashing when women do it.

And hey, how about we remember that it's actually beneficial for men to hear that, hey, i don't need to try to compete with the guys on roids by taking roids too because girls don't actually desire muscle that much.

i'm one of the ones who has turned down muscle... for various reasons. one was an arrogant d*ck who thought i'd melt at the thought that someone so hot would want me.

Instead they want Brad Pitt and competing MMA fighters. LOL

i think that if you bothered to read what the women were saying you'd see quite a consensus of 'looks don't matter that much' even for those who prefer less muscle. seriously, that is a good thing to know. the vast majority of women are not holding men up to some impossible standard.

i'm not seeing much of a reason to cry in the comments here.

Yup...I see I'm not the only one who finds him sexy.

I have the big cuddly teddy bear type and I LOVE him but I'll be honest... If this gentleman were to walk by I would look twice or three times... Ok, I'd probably stare unabashedly and drool but DAMN. The dedication it takes to look like this man...

I love the big cuddly teddy bear type! But really, any type is my type - personality plays a much bigger role in men who I find attractive.

lol

I find it interesting that so many people think body builders have some kind of personality defect or issues. Is this from personal experience or a common stereotype? Not trolling just curious. Personally I have found most tuff guy with attitude problems were the Strong/fat bouncer kind of guys. The few body builders that I have seen around seem to be pretty cool but I dont know any very well. Never had any experience with the roided out meat head kind of guys though so I have nothing to go on there.

Long Raven hair, doesn't matter on what body frame.

For me, anything from this (not him, just the figure in this picture):



to obesity.

Any more muscle is a turn-off, as would be any thinner.

My fiancé is morbidly obese, and of course I find him incredibly attractive.

I'm just curious... But if your fiance were to lose weight, and become healthy and fit, would you find him less attractive?

Sorry for the delayed reply. As long as he didn't build muscle beyond that image, no. Of course, I want him to lose weight. Whilst I find him very attractive now he's not healthy at all. There's more to it than the way it looks, and I'd like not to be a widow at 45. I'm desperate for him to lose weight. Unfortunately, he's not.

Edit: I should add, I'm not so shallow that I'd let any extra muscle end the relationship, but I've made it clear (in case he ever does decide to get healthy) that I don't find more muscle attractive. He's promised not to go there.

I'll be sorta attention whorey and put myself out there for judgement, granted this pic is from November and I think I've made better progress since then.


:drinker: Go ahead...give your opinion if you want, I can take it.

You need nicer carpeting in that room.

My wife and I joke about who's attracted to who, TV wise... And she's attracted to "Jason Morgan" on General Hospital.. He's a muscly guy... I'm NOT!! But she loves me the way I am. But, I'm STILL GETTING IN SHAPE!!! It'll only make her more attracted to me!

I'm not going to deny, I don't have a clue what specifically causes my 'disgust' (I use that word incredibly loosely, sorry!). The veins that are visible, the skin being pulled over sharp muscles and not soft and gently rounded. The physical side of it is definitely the main turn-off.

But, on an emotional level, my own experience of men with muscles has been split. However, I have known a lot who are gym focused, who think their muscles mean something about who they are, who are the rude, abrasive and shallow type. Also, people who take powders and special drinks to get the way they are. That's not attractive.

All interesting, because the worst and most aggressive person I've ever known was obese, like my fiance.

Of course, my opinion is just one. There are people out there for everyone, and a lot of people go for that. Hell, I'm a hypocrite as well. I'm still overweight at the moment, but fitness and health have been a big part of my life for nearly a year and a half now, and I am noticing a little muscle on my own body. I think where I eventually want to be (toned, with definition though not loads of it) is probably beyond what I'd find attractive in the opposite sex. I'm not saying there's any logic to my preference for men without big muscles.
