Guys, do you like women with broad shoulders?
Not bulky, but broad shoulders and proportionate to her body.

Apparently my husband likes them. I have broad shoulders (not huge, fairly straight) and he said he was attracted to them when we met - good posture and he's into fitness. He is pretty hyper masculine though with very broad shoulders himself with a tapered V shape so I would look feminine next to him even if mine were a little wider LOL. Honestly, probably broad shouldered guys don't mind them but I can imagine narrow shouldered guys might feel it undermines what they have so perceive them as masculine when compared to their more feminine shoulder line. Straight shoulders can highlight a waist, I suppose that's one benefit. Basically, depends on the guy. If it turns him off he's definitely not the right guy, if he likes them then he's the one! Probably not a bad filtering system...
I'm new to this and I couldn't figure out how to start my own comment, I do have a broad shoulder and I love them but sometimes I am a bit insecure because I don't know how guys take it but If I am not misleading myself I find them catching people's attention when I wear a boob tube (in a positive way) So I like to show them off and wear jackets, coats etc. My measurements say I am pear shaped but I look more of an hourglass. Sadly it's hard to get a perfect fit on tops :( Then I will feel abnormal but well, they are not going anywhere so I might as well own it💁🏽
Well, I have broad shoulders but I'm a small girl (5'3 and about 100lbs). I'm pretty insecure about them because I don't think they're proportionate but I don't think they're necessarily ugly. A lot of guys sound like dbags saying they're ugly tho. Do people even notice how broad a person's shoulders are?
I notice. A lot of guys do.
What? I'm also 5'3 and about 100 Ibs with what I feel are fairly broad shoulders! Waow..
@MeganTheButterfly Okay? That doesn't mean we notice in a bad way necessarily; it just means we notice.
@Anon-ymous1 oh no, I was just pointing out that mina and I share a body type. I thought that was crazy because I don't really meet a lot of other girls who are skinny small and have broad shoulders
Honestly, I prefer narrower shoulders on a girl (not a big fan of the example you give though). Maybe not too narrow, but slightly sloped -- it's hard to say what the ideal is without a lot of comparisons.
Broad shoulders is not horrible on a woman (as the first pic you showed demonstrates) but it is a more masculine feature. A woman will want other softer features to balance that out.
I should stress that I don't think broad shoulders ever look ugly on anyone, and people with broad shoulders look much better when wearing a suit...but broad shoulders do more for men than women.
I dont know why you got so many downvotes. I agree that broad shoulders are really attractive on guys (for me). I wanna say on women, I dont even notice the width of her shoulders.
@rozequarts The broad shouldered women got offended
YES, I absolutely love linebacker shoulders on my woman. Truthfully, I strongly have attraction towards bigger women, taller, broader shoulders, strong jaw lines, blonde hair and pretty feet. Those are my ideal features, beauty is only skin deep and fades with age so this is negligible but still a huge turn on.
This shoulders though, must be broad lol I love love love wide shoulders on my woman.
You literally just described me, except I'm pretty fit/lithe. I'm 5'8, my shoulders are broader than my hips, I have a strong jawline (but I have larger eyes and lips, somehow I make it look sharp and intimidating haha), my hair used to be blonde but I dyed it dark scarlet red, and I've been told I have really nice feet, and I believe I do as well, so that's saying something. (I'm not very fond of most of my features, but my feet are definitely a part of myself I like. Odd fact because why not: I can grab things with my toes.). I've always hated my toned, strong, physique, but this gives me hope that some man will love it. :)
Yes she needs to be built like a brick house so she can carry me out when I pass out on incense fumes

I was called a man by the man i wanted to be with most.
Pineapple has friends who would make fun of me when i wasn’t around and would call me man in front of him and encouraged him to not like me, let alone stop talking to me. Why did he let his friends encourage his feelings even if we were just friends? i don’t know why, and he shouldn’t have because it was clear to sight that i liked him as more than a friend and he made it difficult for everything to happen for each other. even our other friends encouraged it and everyone thought we were already together because we walked around talking to each other during school almost every period. i was mad because he made it clear after that he only wanted to be my friend so i got mad and unfollowed him of course in this generation that means we have beef so obviously he noticed that same week and asked our other friends but i made up a completely different excuse for them to tell him because i knew they’d tell him regardless of what i say because we’re all friends and they have big mouths. weeks later i made up with pineapple because yk i can’t hold a grudge forever, well i mean i can but i’m not going to seem like a bitch with the guy i like, we followed each other back. After that we become chill and started hanging out again like nothing happened because he’s chill like that, not till weeks after this my other friend stephanie who was dating someone from the “guys group” goes into the room during lunch and hears everything that they say. She told me they said “didn’t you used to like the man”. At that time i didn’t care about it as much because i could take a harsh comment. but the more that i thought about it, the more it hurt and hurt because that’s not the label anyone should be given if a female unless you have a full beard or whatever and i don’t. I went home that day and decided i wasn’t gonna take that anymore from anyone. i’d lose weight get a clear face and do anything to prevent getting called a man wether it be making my eye brows thinner, growing out my nails, wearing make up and crop tops, being skinny, laughing in a high pitched voice because thats what men call female, what they’re described to be. I couldn’t fit those because i had broad shoulders, a semi deep voice, thick eyebrows, i wasn’t skinny, i bit my nails for wrestling and it became a habit, i wasn’t short because my mom and dad were tall and i couldn’t fix it, my body is deformed, i’ve never had a boyfriend who actually liked the way i looked or tried to perfect me but couldn’t so they left. I’ll never be that perfect girl everyone expects or wants me to be. i even lost weight to feel somewhat pretty and i thought people would notice change as much as i did. i did lose over 40 pounds within 2 months during the school year but no one noticed and that hurt still more than ever because i did that and put so much hard work into losing some weight and lost some acne but nothing.
i will forever be known as the “man”
EXTREMELY unattractive. It's a very masculine trait, and being only second to hip width, can make or break the woman. It's not even about how fat or skinny she is. It's about her skeletal structure. If she was blessed with a perfect very wide hips/narrow shoulders and naturally thin waist structure, then a massive range of bodyweights can look amazing on her. I literally have mini crushes (of lust, of course) on any passing woman with wide hips and barrow shoulders (of course, if she has a moderately good-looking face, too). Most men will prefer what I told you, but I'm sure some guys out there like broad shoulders, especially if they're not terribly broad for a girl. If you're a girl that was cursed with structurally wide shoulders, you can workout your lower body and bulk it up, which will kind of balance out your physique and make it a bit more feminine.
Cursed? In your opinion, you're not the only guy on the planet, wow. Extremely rude, you could have just stopped your line of thought before you got to that point. I'm pretty sure there's some women out there who will never find you attractive.
@4365438754 spot on
Narrow shoulders! I'm sure you've heard of the waist-hip ratio and how almost all guys have a strong preference for a ratio around 0.7. I think the next most important ratio is shoulder to breast size. It's better if the shoulders are small compared to the breasts. For the guys who are less into big boobs, the shoulders should be small compared to the hips, butt.
i agree with that.
but hourglass requires wider shoulders, or else it's just spoon/pear
by narrow sholders you mean women who look like frail birds with extreamly poor posture and a caved in chest...you men shoulders proportionate to ribcage.
Oh, frail birds with caved in chests for sure! LOL! No, I think the key is that the shoulders be no wider than the hips, and preferably a bit narrower. (Keep in mind we're talking absolute IDEALS here for one guy--not the minimum needed to be attractive to the male species). For me I like it if the breasts clearly flare out as wider than the shoulders. Why do you ask, anyway?
the hourglass/pear shape thing is determined by fat composition, to be honest.
If a woman's bust and bottom are the same or similar measurement she is a pear.
So if her chest (over the boobs) measures 36, her waist is 24, and her bottom is 36, she's an hourglass. A woman who is 32 over the chest, 24 in the waist, 36 in the bottom is a pear.
I think with a small waist and broad hips it's beautiful and feminine because that's what creates the most desired figure; hourglass. As long it's not as broad as a male. My shoulders are kinda broad, it's what makes me a defined hourglass rather than a pear.
Honestly, I prefer women with broad shoulders over average and never find women with narrow shoulders attractive. It isn't that shoulder width is a deal breaker but for the most part, girls with diminutive shoulders are usually petite in other ways or have a diamond body plan which turns me off and therefore I stick with girls I prefer. In actuality, I love girls with an inverted triangle body plan... when a girl has a broader pectoral girdle than pelvic girdle. In fact, for me, the most sensual part of a woman's body is the "triangle" so to speak where the vertices are a girl's neck, shoulder and nipple. Nothing drives me wild like worshiping this area by tracing my tongue from a long neck, sexy clavicle, broad shoulder, toned upper arm, delicious armpit, sexy serratus anterior/side boob area, to a supple breast and perky nipple, then back up
What strangers on the internet think is irrelevant. Are you really asking if your broad shoulders makes you unattractive? Cuz if you are you're being beyond ridiculous.
For one thing, you can't change it.
For another it makes very little difference in your overall persona or 'look'.
No, just find a guy that likes YOU just the way you are. It's like asking if a guy would date a girl with small tits - it's just not relevant to anything.
To be honest - I like women with broad shoulders - no need for big boobs - I just have a thing for them shoulders :) ... also if you can clearly see the clavicle bone. Just too sexy it is ;)
I'm indifferent because sometimes broad shoulders are nice if they are a little bit soft as its more comfy to hug the partner but other wise it doesn't really matter much to me.
Not sure what you mean. To me they all look about same. Only difference is her organs background, or race. Each location women built different. Just as men are too.
It doesn't bother if the rest of the body is feminine. Preferably slim. If you have broad shoulders and at the same time you are on heavier side, you start to look like a man.
Yes. In my experience, a woman with broad shoulders has a tendency to be big boned in general, which potentially makes her more likely to be able to swing the cane harder when she beats me.
Broad shoulders on a female are Very attractive! It is one of the most physically attractive qualities a female can have. Narrow or small shoulders are a turn off for me. Females with broad shoulders should dress in a way that shows them off as often as possible. Broad shoulders on a female are absolutely sexy and beautiful...
Just be honest and say you’re gay.
See, there is a reason I'm saying that the vast majority of the elite celebrities are secretly gender inverted.
Genuinely don't care what her shoulders are like, i care much more about the other area's of her upper body such as a nice facial structure, nice hair and nicely shaped breasts.
If the rest of the girl is pretty. I know some pretty girls who play volleyball and they have broad shoulders.
i like my broad shoulders. Tops and jackets sit well on me, despite being 5'4
Those look good on girls with broad shoulders. A lot of guys don't like it but I do.
Yours look great
As a male I really like broad shoulders, as long as it is because the girl is fit. I can't see your examples anymore, because I guess this question is old, so I can't comment on the shoulders you have posted. I really find Jordan Hayes extremely attractive, as well as many gymnasts and swimmers.
well most guys can't be picky about it or else he will look bad and judge for it.
I'm wary of "women" with wide shoulders. There are a lot of pretenders out there.
It's OK either way. It's not something I pay attention to.
It’s not something I think about but u wouldn’t mind to be honest
