How important is it for a guy to have a good body?

[Anonymous]

what do you think ladies? I want the honest truth, no lies to make anyone feel better. does a guy have to have a good body to be dateable? and what is acceptable for a guy's body? and when is it a turn off? I'm really wanting to improve my physik so I'm wondering. will I get noticed more if I work out and get a good toned, fit body?

It depends, are you wanting a physically fit girl to not worry about your appearance? You can't expect someone who takes the time to keep themselves in shape to take notice of you when you don't. If that's not important to you, it's definitely possible to find a good relationship with someone and not have a toned body. It really depends on what you're looking for.

And yes, you will get noticed more, but sexually. You'll still have to pull your own as far as personality if a relationship is what you're looking for. Again it depends on what kind of attention you're trying to get.

Not really. I mean, I like skinny guys, I like chubby guys, basically anything but obese or overly muscular. The face is way more important to me. I have weird taste, though, cause I find a lot of guy's bodies that everyone else seems to love (Taylor Lautner, for example) kind of meh, and prefer skinny guys, or even guys with a bit of a belly, haha.

in my opinion it is important for guy to have a nice body, he doesn't have to be buff just not fat or to skinny anythink else is good. and yes you will get more notice if you work out, I didn't think body was important till I met a guy that had a nice body and if hadn't that body I woould of never notice him

There are many benefits to getting in shape, more attention is one of them, but good health, preventing injuries and better quality of life should also be your motivation if you want to stick with it. I definitely get more looks, especially at the beach, its a very noticeable difference. I feel a lot better with more energy too. Check out bodybuilding.com for all the info you'll ever need.

I don't want to say it's important to me, but it sure does help. Couple a decent body with a good personality and you're highly desirable. Work on pecs, abs, and butt. No girl can easily resist a charming guy with some good but not overwhelming muscles (and good butt). Visible through shirt "man boobs" are a complete turn off.

As long as you're healthy that's all that matters. Healthy to me would be that you eat right and exercise so you're taking good care of your body. That shows me that you're a responsible person.
