Guys' Body Fat Percentage?

Almost every girl on the planet is worried about their weight. But as a guy, I worry about mine sometimes too so ladies I want your input on this. Using the links below what's your ideal, and at what point is a guy no longer attractive to you (looks only). I won't say where I am (no looking for a pity party), just your thoughts on the matter for guys.

  • 11-19 in the first link. Though I'm not a huuuuge fan of 11-12, it's basically on the verge of being too muscly for me, but still kind of acceptable I guess.

    In the second link, I think builtfat and ottermode look the best. Bearmode is OK too. I'm not all that into muscles really. I like it when guys look naturally healthy and as if they only visit the gym every once in a while. I'm not a fan of huge muscles because it gives off the impression that the guy is obsessed with going to the gym and all that crap, which I'm not all that into.

  • Every girl is different and at the end of the day personality can trump weight - I once had a crush on a guy who was 270 easy. That said, my ideal is probably in the 13-19% range (skinnyfat to builtfat) Over 30% I start to lose interest. A lot of times it's connected to fitness too - if you're bigger but play sports, go hiking, etc. and are in fairly good shape, it's not as big a deal as it is if you have trouble participating. But that might just be me since I'm fairly active.

  • Going purely based on looks...

    On the Athlean-X chart, I find 8%-19% attractive. The two guys in the beginning are way too big, particularly the first guy. I'm not attracted to any of the types from 20-40%. My favorite would be between 11-15%.

    On the Male Bodytype Chart, I'm attracted to Ottermode, Athletic, Skinnyfat, and Builtfat. Not attracted to the others. My favorite would be a mix between Ottermode and Athletic.

  • First link, I have to say the first four guys are near impossible to look like. They may be on steroids. I don't think it's a good idea to look at those charts.

    I think it's best to try to eat right and exercise to the best of your abilities.

    If a woman only wants you for pure looks only, she isn't worth your time.

  • Wow that second link is everything wrong with society. The same mentality that makes pretty girls think they are fat. That "builtfat" one. Who the F would call that fat? The first link is science and way better.

  • 25-30 is perfect for me.

  • In the first link, 11%-24%

    In the second link, I find Ottermode, Athletic and builtfat most attractive. I actually really like the look of the builtfat look but not a lot of guys have that. I assume it takes a certain body type to have it.

    • As a clearcut Builtfat man, thank you :)

  • 11-24% in the first link and skinny fat, ottermode, and builtfat for the second link.

    Like someone else mentioned, personality def trumps the looks if you are looking for a long-term relationship.

  • For me anything between 10% and 20% is near damn perfect, up to 30% it's good enough. Above that... well, I don't really get to pick and choose, but that's not exactly how I imagine a Prince Charming.

  • Well...Id say mine is pretty good.

  • I think 8-15% on the first chart, and Ottermode, Athletic, and Builtfat on the second. I asked my wife, who's an 8/10 hottie, what she likes (honestly) and she said Ottermode or Athletic ONLY. Damn, I gotta get to work!

  • 11-19% = good

    Ottermode - Athletic = good
