What type of boys do girls prefer, skinny but strong, or muscular but weak?

[Diego202]

There's boys who are skinny and look weak but are actually strong at lifting or fighting, and then there's boys who are muscular and look strong but are actually weak at lifting or fighting. If you had to date one, which would you choose?

Why fighting? Is that important in a relationship? Is the fighting ability a condition needed to be in a relationship?

Neither body type is interesting to me because I am simply not interested in dating and thus, the looks and appearance are not relevant to me.

If I was forced to date though, then I would chose a person that does not put emphasis on his looks but more in his intellect. That what is important to be because a person that prioritizes his intellect over his body is automatically a winner. No need to fight physically to achieve that.

Some girls prefer their BFs having fighting ability to feel safer, but I get it's not always the case. As far as body type, the question was intended without setting personality as a variable. In other words, imagine both boys have the same exact "soul", and your selection would only depend on their body type.

Depends on the gal, I guess. No one wants a guy who is *actually* weak, but some guys don't really work out in a way that's physically productive, they just work on looking good.

[Diego202]

Yes. The point is to see whether girls prefer a farmer-type boy with a skinny but useful body, or a gym-type boy with an aesthetic but less useful body in terms of lifting or fighting.

If I had to choose between those two, the first one.

[Diego202]

If both were strong, would your selection change?

Do you have a rwading comprehension problem?

[Diego202]

I do not have a "rwading" comprehension problem, as it's possible you could have chosen the first guy because you care about strength and not looks. Since I'm not a psychic, and you didn't explain the reason behind your selection, it's perfectly reasonable to suspect your answer could change.

[Abbycado]

Yep, you’ve got a reading comprehension issue d

[Diego202]

Care to elaborate?

[Nikki1989]

Neither. Both extremes are unattractive.

i dont get the big deal about being strong, like are you a boxer or what?

[Diego202]

Strength and looks are some examples of traits that girls look for in boys. The point is, all else (personality, height, etc.) held equal, to see if girls prefer strength or looks, assuming they were mutually exclusive.
