How Muscular is too Muscular in terms of physical attraction for the opposite gender? How Muscular do you want to be?

Question

I was watching Batman vs Superman with my friends and she says Superman (Henri Cavill's) body was too muscular for he taste, on the other hand I find it quite attractive and not too much.

 
Do you simply prefer the toned look (1)

 

Or decently muscular (2)

 

Or really muscular? (3)

I like all the girls you posted. However, for the girls you posted, I don't think #2 and #3 are that different (just maybe slightly more definition on the abs in #3).

My favorite is generally #2 range. I like Shakira.

For me "too muscular" is when her biceps are starting to get bigger than mine and I'm starting to suspect steroid use. It's more about mass than definition for me when a girl is "too muscular".

None of the girls you posted have that much muscle mass, they're just lean and fit.

I loveeee when a guy looks slightly SLIGHTLY pudgy like cuddly and like he can give s nice warm hug. Maybe old chris Pratt? I mean I would definitely consider a guy I was into even if he was ripped, or even skinny. One thing that bugs me is when they have horrible posture. I hate the slumped back and when the neck curves over forward. I really don't like seeing that.

The last picture isn't bad, I love lifters and I want a lifter, if I lift he better lift, not only is it great for your stamina or your sperm (gentleman) but it's also great for your health! You are almost never sick of flu, cold! Dopamine is released so yay brain! I think muscles are great as long as they are natural!

I love a toned and muscular look on both men and women. Especially women. I would like more muscular girls than what you posted, actually, those are just very fit, not necessarily very muscular girls... Its kinda unfair that you posted bodybuilder type guys but just fit girls...

<3 Muscles. SO many muscles.

FakeName123 · Answer

I don't find any appeal in being muscular nor toned in a girl. Being fit? Yes. Being actively toned? No appeal. I prefer her to have natural curves all around. Her butt is supposed to jiggle when I slap it and not be firm from too many squats. No point nor appeal in that.

Levin · Answer

Not too much? Women are full of bullshit. To my mind, Cavill or whatever he is called was eating something like 6000 calories a day to maintain that body, was working out perpetually, making himself sick eating way too much.

Lao Tzu said it all 2500 years ago.

According to Tao,

Excessive food,
Extraneous activity,

Inspire Disgust!

Toned for me.

2 or 3.  This, for example, is too much.

I heard a poll that showed most women prefer slightly muscular and lean guys to bulky and big around.(E. G. they's choose a 5'10 175 lb 10% body fat, over a 6'4 300+lb lineman). Personally I like thin girls but for them to be healthy as well (not underweight) which means I'd prefer a stocky but healthy girl over a underweight or anorexic one. I think being healthy is more important than anything. I don't let my preferences get in the way and can always make exceptions

The toned one for sure... that shows (mostly true but not always) that this person has a fun life outside the gym as well while he/she takes care of herself not only for the looks but to stay healthy and fit..

I want them to look like they don't enjoy tasty food, are anal about every mouthful, obsessively count calories and macros, and they spend hours in the gym every day putting in maximum effort! Anything less is unattractive and not good enough for my dick.

Tbh, I want to be the big buff one in the relationship... so the decently muscular look would be ideal. If I could design my perfect guy (I'm gay), they wouldn't be too skinny and they wouldn't be too muscly. But I really don't care. I mean twinks are cute, right?

For guys: I like toned, but the guy in the decently muscular would kick the ass of toned guy. I think if you are tall and long legged decently mascular rocks.
For women: I just love a little chubby Venus figure with long legs.

I prefer the toned look. Everything more than that just makes me think they're one step away from beating someone to death because they can't control their roid rage.

AleDeEurope · Answer

I prefer the toned, though some "decently muscular" girls look great too. I actually find all those girls attractive, even the very muscular xD But most of the time, very muscular isn't a turn on.

LittleMissCuriousity · Answer

As long as it looks natural, I love it! Some people look natural with more (or with less). If it looks like an ad for protein drinks or a gym, it's too much.

Anllela <3 <3 <3 I think number 2 looks the best on both genders. To maintain number 3 requires fairly clean eating and time - depends if you feel the tradeoff is worth it.

EmmaElaine2000 · Answer

You can be too muscular my personal opinion is when you get real veiny and you can see your veins fold out from your arms you've gone a little too far

Jxpxtxr · Answer

Between toned and muscular for both genders for me, just not overly lean because that just looks gross :P

Felinegirl · Answer

what you just called "toned" is pretty muscular already in real life and what you called decent or very muscular, I'd both call gym rat/ too bulky.

Cmasterson · Answer

IN regards of how I like the opposite sex, I'd say my boyfriend is like #3 in the arms and I love it.

TayTay21 · Answer

Anlella Sagra is so gorgeous. I want muscular but slim for myself, muscular and thick for my man. Superman looks amazing.

SirenDep · Answer

All options seemed fine! I'd say I aspire to reach 2. I'd mostly prefer 1-2, but it depends on the person

Phoenix98 · Answer

Honestly however muscular you like is fine, personally I like the decently muscular and the very muscular opinions best for the women.  And pfft Henry Cavill to muscular no Henry Cavill = goals
