Well I've dated guys who were very fit, even a bodybuilder or two, and also guys who just went to the gym a couple times a week or something, so I'd say for me, while it's a bonus if a guy's in good shape it's not a must-have.
A nice body is not the only thing that makes a guy attractive - his face, whether he's fun, intelligent, has goals/ambition, a sense of humor, is a masculine type of guy, is a gentleman, etc. it's the combination of all that that's important to me in attraction.
As an example, I went out with a guy two weeks ago who had muscles, abs, the works, even a pretty handsome face, but the way he was with me on the date just turned me off completely. Any attraction I might have felt - killed. So I definitely didn't agree to a second date.
Now obviously not all fit guys are like that, I've dated some great guys who were in amazing shape, but the point is if he thought all he had to bring to the table to be attractive was his ripped body - nope, sorry not enough. In contrast if he wasn't in the best shape but had other good qualities I value and find attractive, I'd still be interested.

I'm probably neutral for the most part. A guy who has a lot of muscle will not have any advantage over a guy who's leaner. I like how someone can look when they're moderately built, but anything excessive is unattractive in my eyes.
Lol I am hella jacked and I pull extremely fine, Don't ask this on internet. There are "dadbod" girls who are too insecured of their own bods and they wanna be center of relationship and prettier one so they go for dadbods who they know won't ever leave them lol and then there are actually confident chicks who go for anything they think they are hot, On internet you mostly gonna find em cos confident chicks are out there "hunting" lol
Women who work out, are generally attracted to men who work out.

Attractive... I like it that a man makes some effort to look good!
I spend hours doing my hair , make up , choosing outfits everyday and I'm always watching my weight and or dieting etc... So it's nice to see that the man also tries to make effort, it doesn't necessarily mean that I want him to be ripped AF though...I like buff guys just not the ego that usually comes attached to it. I would prefer an average body with lean muscle but a little bulk is fine too. The Hemsworth brothers look pretty perfect to me though :P
workoutinfoguru.cyberpanthers.netdna-cdn.com/.../chris-hemsworth-body-in-thor.jpgif a guy is too ripped that is a sure fire sign for me that he is shallow, cannot handle societal pressures well and doesn't take care of his personality or education much, which are things I personally value most. The grand majority of girls seem to like it though.
I'm pretty neutral. I can appreciate a guy who works out but literally all my past crushes were naturally skinny guys who didn't really work out much.
Blagh. I like smooth stomachs, but when there's muscle definition, I just don't find it as attractive.
Vote A = I am a physical fitness freak who TOTALLY luuurves HUGE ripped-muscly-shredded guys.
HAF x 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000I think most like athletic builds but a large amount of them don't like body builders or dudes that look like their veins are about to burst. I also see some complete babes on my college campus walking around holding hands with dudes that are really scrawny. I think the face matters most of all. Because those scrawny guys facially were pretty handsome.
I definitely appreciate a guy who works out and has a nice body. Don't get me wrong. I mean who wouldn't?
But it's a turnoff if a guy is so into getting "swole" that he spends more than two hours at the gym every day. That's just too muchI love fit bodies, I have a thing for abs, but it doesn't mean I don't like normal bodies. A challenging mind turns me on more than a ripped body.
It used to be my weakness when I was really fit myself. There's something primal about wrapping your hands on a guy's bulging biceps.
I prefer scrawny and lean men. So it's not really attractive for me to see muscular men. Though I think it's great they're exercising, hopefully for the health benefits.
They don't need to work out, although I appreciate the mildly muscular, but really as long as they take care of their bodies and are healthy, I don't have a problem
It definitely is not on my list of must have/do. I don't go, I don't expect him to. It would be a nice bonus I suppose. Neutral.
I think there's a direct correlation between physical attractiveness in women and desire for physical attractiveness in male partners.
was that controversial? yeah, that was controversial.They can be attractive. Being fit and healthy is good, although being totally muscular is not a turn on for me.
Looks aren't top priority for me, but my range is slim, average, chubby, and muscular (not super ripped).Meh, a guy doesn't need to work out to be attractive to me.
A guy who works out to maintain having a nice body 👍🏽
LOL at the guys who voted Ew. I find them extremely attractive.
Its okay... I love it if we encourage each other but when I am jogging you better leave me alone!
I'm not into muscles myself. Then again, I ain't into guys.
