How much do abs matter on a guy?

[PrinceSoren]

When fooling around and a guy takes off his shirt and a girl sees abs; what does that do?

[Camallunt]

Abs are more important to younger women, as they get older they tend to realise how trivial they are and how easy it is to get a 6 pack when thin.I kid you not when 16 I had a 6 pack from masturbating so much and not eating much and only a little exercise.

Older women tend to prefer an overall fitness with upper body strength being a bigger focus than abs. My partner loves men with power behind them, she doesn't care for pure aesthetics so she likes my arms chest back and thighs being muscled yet likes my slight stomach as it makes me cuddly too. Half the girls I've been with at least were after losing the 6 pack and I get checked out a lot more now I'm of a stocky build as it shows without having to strip.

[PrinceSoren]

That's actually interesting. I just have to have a strong core but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean that there has to be a six pack involved. Very interesting observation you have there actually. Pretty profound.

[Camallunt]

A strong core is definitely good but it should be part of a package not the main show. A good body doesn't need to be naked to entice a woman, if you need your top off to excite her you're at a disadvantage.

You don't need to be big to be strong but there are certain muscles that when worked will re shape your body and make clothes sit better and when they come off give something far more exciting that just abs. As long as you work on flexibility and cardio getting a little extra muscle doesn't interfere with mobility either.

[PrinceSoren]

So is that what you recommend? The cardio and flexibility work to get those peak muscles working? Or attributed.

[Anonymous]

If we don't have abs, we wouldn't do smexy stuff like whipping off our shirts on the beach, basking in the lens flare effects, and strutting into the ocean like Old Spice man.

So no abs = no sexy = no confidence.

It's really not for the girls' sake. It's for our own sake.

[PrinceSoren]

Haha! Your explanation inspires me sir bro!

[Anonymous]

They look hot, but they aren't necessary for me. I mostly just prefer that a guy is in average shape - not too overweight. If I'm not in super good shape, I'd probably avoid flirting or fooling around with a guy with abs, because he'd be too good for me.

[PrinceSoren]

Too good for you? You really think that if you all got around to fooling around and he had abs and you didn't that he considers himself too good for you? Nah. He already has a heavy attraction to you; you know?

[Opinion Owner]

I think a lot of females try to avoid getting interested in someone whose looks may be too good. Probably guys do too?

[PrinceSoren]

Guys do...yes BUT it's because we figure that a girl who can never take off her make up and always has to look 'perfect' is high maintenance. There is a difference between lookin presentable and the allure of perfection. I like to look presentable too, that can be attained through wearing sweats and such occasionally. You know? High maintenance girls are a HUGE turn off.

[Anonymous]

It doesn't matter much at all to me. My boyfriend doesn't have abs but I love his body. He has strong arms and a muscular back which is way more attractive to me than abs are.

[PrinceSoren]

So many different answers but muscular Arms seem to be the theme here. Hahs

[Opinion Owner]

haha yeah, that's just what I like the most. Nothing at all wrong with having abs though:)

[PrinceSoren]

Haha I'm glad I asked this. I know I'm not the most muscular but I like my leanness and my abs, just wondering if girls did too.

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks for MH:)

[PrinceSoren]

Hakuna Matata. It really was. Haha I enjoyed your response.

[Opinion Owner]

Lol I'm glad:)

[PrinceSoren]

Haha thenk you for commenting and actually keeping up on the comments I posted. It explains your position better.

[melissa2]

I don't know, they're attractive. Not as necessity. As long as you have a flat stomach and some toning there you're okay. I find stomach fat to be s huge turn off.

[PrinceSoren]

That's what I was getting at. I mean, everyone has to have a little fat on them but not out of control. That's a lack of discipline to me. You know?

[melissa2]

I get what you mean. You don't have to be ripped by any means. Guys aren't supposed to be soft though, and I think if you're a healthy weight and reasonably fit then you're golden so don't worry about not having abs if you don't.

[PrinceSoren]

Hehe Nah. I have abs, I had that pic up but then I took it down. I just wanted to know a girl's viewpoint. I have sometimes six, sometimes four but like an 8 pack isn't incredibly important. Not even a six pack, I just want to always be toned there. How about you?

[melissa2]

Well then that's a plus! Personally I'm not a gym rat or anything. I'm a good weight (5"2, 105 lbs) and I have a flat stomach but no abs. I'm kinda opposed to abs on a girl.

[PrinceSoren]

That's actually pretty perfect and I say the same thing too! I always tell girls they don't need the packs...just a nice flatter stomach will do. Trust me, I'm no gym rat either. Haha The world is my gym. You sound like you have a pretty nice shape about you though. Very cool.

[melissa2]

Thanks! What do you mean by the world is your gym? Are you really active?

[PrinceSoren]

You're very welcome and like, I'm very physical. You know? I like to work with my hands. I don't mind chopping wood, moving bales of hay. I'm always climbing something whether it's a hill, or a tree. I walk/bike over 8 miles a day. Stuff like that. It sounds more intense than it really is. Haha How about you?

[melissa2]

You're one of those with a lot of energy! Eh I'd say I'm pretty average. In the winter I spend a lot of time curled up in bed but once it gets warm outside I base all my activities outdoors but I'm not particularly active.

[PrinceSoren]

I guess I do. Haha I'm honestly a big kid and that helps a lot. Like I love jungle gyms and swings too. XD Do you live in a cold climate? Like when the winter comes is there snow? Basing your summer stuff outside though is a pretty good idea. What do you do in the summer?

[melissa2]

That's awesome lol. I'm in Tennessee, so our summers get pretty hot but our winters get cold as heck. We get some snow and a lot of ice. I can't stand the cold at all. During the summer I spend most my time at the pool or at the lake, kayaking, swimming, cliff jumping, etc.

[PrinceSoren]

Thenk ya. *takes a bow* haha You get the two extremes. I'm not a huge fan of the snow either unless I'm watching it from inside, sitting in front of a fireplace, drinking a hot chocolate. XD Okay, your summer activities blow mine out the water! Haha I feel so inadequate. Haha

[melissa2]

I feel the exact same about winter! And do you have lakes around you? You should look into it. It's fun :D

[PrinceSoren]

Haha Two peas of a pod we are. :P Umm...Well there are oceans. I live in CA. I think lakes would be more fun. Are you more of a aquatics person or land lover? Hehe

[melissa2]

I'm so jealous! I'd love to live in CA. I'm more of a water person. I love the ocean.

[PrinceSoren]

Haha! Well until I get my car up and running you and I are experiencing about the same amount of the ocean. XD What's your favorite water sport?

[melissa2]

Oh I see. And I suppose swimming, because besides that and kayaking I haven't had much experience with water sports.

[PrinceSoren]

Kayaking sounds awesome. I've never done that. How long have you kayaked?

[melissa2]

Just did it the first time two summers ago!

[PrinceSoren]

Oh very cool. Are you a fast learner?

[melissa2]

Depends on my interest level lol

[melissa2]

Kayaking is very easy though

[PrinceSoren]

Haha So I take it that your IQ for water sports is high? Hehe

[melissa2]

Nahh lol its just simple: row! And don't tip the boat.

[PrinceSoren]

Haha For sure. What about rafting? Do you think you'll try that?

[melissa2]

I'd try it!

[PrinceSoren]

You gotta lemme know how it goes. Haha I think you'll really enjoy it.

[PrinceSoren]

Fair enough. (:

[knotme]

Abs aren't important to me either, but you do have to have some definition in the arms and a nice ass

[PrinceSoren]

Hehe Girls are all about the butt now huh? Haha

[knotme]

Yes a nice ass on a guy is just bitable

[knotme]

You are lite by the way, what kind of performer are you?

[PrinceSoren]

I sing and dance in a band. So the leanness helps with the movement and the affect of it all. You know?

[knotme]

Yes I understand

[PrinceSoren]

When you say light...what do you mean? Haha Like too skinny?

[knotme]

Yes you are skinny, but it all depends on your frame as well.

[PrinceSoren]

Like height?

[knotme]

Your height is fine but in proportion to your height its lite to me, but your are a performer so its functional

[PrinceSoren]

Yeah. I s'pose. I just like the leaner look but still muscular...if that makes sense.

[knotme]

Yes I does. XD

[knotme]

I just looked at your avi your body is fine.

[PrinceSoren]

Shucks well thenk you! I was beginning to get a little worried. Haha

[knotme]

no worries

[PrinceSoren]

You mean 'Hakuna Matata' ;)

[gingerrr]

I'm not much of an ab girl. I love a guy with strong, well toned arms though...and a nice ass.

[PrinceSoren]

Haha What makes those better in your opinion?

[gingerrr]

I don't know. I like the idea of a guy wrapping his arms around me because it makes me feel safe and secure. As far as having a nice butt, didn't realize this until I kept staring at my crush's ass haha. It's all preference honestly. I also think super buff/body builder type guys are a huge turn off. I just want my guy to have an athletic build.

[PrinceSoren]

So then it's a security thing. I get it. Hehe Is it the bigger the arms the more protection or do you believe that a lean muscular guy, you can feel that way with too?

[gingerrr]

Yeah, plus I like cuddling so I think that is why I go for arms. Lean and muscular guy can have the same effect.

[PrinceSoren]

Gotcha. It seems like it's more of an emotional connection with you then.

[gingerrr]

Yeah. I'm more of an emotional girl. Part of the reason why I'm a hopeless romantic, I guess.

[PrinceSoren]

You're not hopeless! Haha just a romantic which is totally fine. You seem like you can make great emotional and physical connections. (:

[gingerrr]

Okay, maybe romantic moreso than anything. I probably can haha.

[PrinceSoren]

Haha See? You probably have a lot to offer as well. I guess patience here, is key.

[gingerrr]

Patience and to break out of the weird shy spell I have going on with the guy I like.

[PrinceSoren]

Definitely do that. Give him some kind of a notion that definitely can't be mistaken for anything else. You should be snatched up by now. (:

[gingerrr]

You're not the only one tells me I shouldn't be single haha. I'm working on it though. It's easier said than done :/

[PrinceSoren]

Haha Don't I know it! How long have you been talking to this guy?

[gingerrr]

Well we met in September, but haven't started to actually talk until November.

[PrinceSoren]

So you have a few months under your belt. Make your move girl! Haha

[Bubbles40]

A guy doesn't have to have abs for me to be into him. But if he does that's definitely a turn on.

[PrinceSoren]

Okay, so definitely something good to have then.

[Bubbles40]

It is, as long as you're not too buff, it's all good.

[PrinceSoren]

Thenks Bubbles40. I guess it's about finding that thin line then. Haha

[summerburst]

I don't care if a guy has abs or not as long as he has a nice overall chest.

[PrinceSoren]

Hmm...so like Thor or...less? Haha

[Dzindzer]

If he has a six pack I wouldn't complain, but I am much more into his face and thighs. :)

[PrinceSoren]

Thighs huh? Why the thighs?

[Dzindzer]

If you ask me a have slightly fuller thighs so I prefer guys with fuller thighs too. Then I won't be thinking too much about what he thinks a about my thighs. Also big thighs on guys is soooo sexy.

[PrinceSoren]

I think the 'thigh gap' thing is too underrated. Trust me, as long as you have a nice butt most guys and that's 99% will not be focusing on your thighs. XD

[Troian]

It can be a turn on but...I'm more fan of a guy with broad shoulder and strong arms than a abs fan

[PrinceSoren]

Hmmm...that's fair. Very fair. Ha

[Anonymous]

I don't know... It's nice I guess, but I don't care.
For me it's mostly upper torso and arms that I notice.

[PrinceSoren]

Upper torso...like chest?

[Opinion Owner]

And back.

[PrinceSoren]

Wow! Back too? Girls notice a lot of stuff! Ha

[Opinion Owner]

But we don't care that much. Men care about looks more than we do. Which is why we obsess over our own looks a lot more.

[PrinceSoren]

Is that so? But then what about all the guys who say that we like it best when girls have no male up and sweats/ yoga pants on. As long as they are healthy, that attracts me the most.

[Opinion Owner]

That is competition among women against other women for prestige of the imagined position of the "alpha female". Source of girl on girl hatred.
Women can't read men's minds and they rarely believe men mean what they say, because women rarely mean what they say. So the only way they think they know how to be desirable is to look at other women and be like them, only better.
Women sorta-kinda know what men want, but at the end of the day, they are just looking to other women for clues.
Women also have no idea what they want in men either, let alone themselves. For example a single guy is ignored, a taken guy flirted with. Women look to other women for what is good.
Bottom line, women don't know what they want and they keep asking other women to tell them.

[PrinceSoren]

So there really is no "individuality" is what you're saying. Or it is at least become more and more rare. I like to think of myself as an individual. I mean I pretty much go against the grain in every aspect that a majority of the world socially sees a black guy. This is unforced however. I just like what I like and how I am is how I am. You seem to be far enough away from the proverbial eye of the tornado that you can see the destruction and choose not to get too close. Every time I'm with a girl as a friend a girl does pay more attention, I've noticed that. It drives me nuts. You seem to be an individual though, a true one. Is that fair?

[Opinion Owner]

I don't know about individuality. I sometimes wonder if I am just as influenced by the world as everyone in some other way, only I can't see it, so I can never know.

[PrinceSoren]

I like your way of thinking. I really do. You're very objective.

[musicbrain5]

Abs are not terribly important to me, really. I like strong arms and a nicely toned muscular back on a guy.

[PrinceSoren]

The back is honestly something that I hardly ever even consider. Wow, I didn't even know.

[musicbrain5]

A lot of guys work on their pecs and abs, and they let their backs go soft.

[PrinceSoren]

This is true. A strong back is also great just for physical health. I think girls subconsciously might look at a muscular guy as a sign of a provider as far as physically. Am I wrong?

[musicbrain5]

Yeah and also on the subconscious level, women will generally determine that he has good genes for reproduction.

[PrinceSoren]

Hmmm...what about a work ethic? Can keeping your body healthy show signs of someone who is disciplined and not lazy?

[meibay313]

"What? Did u photoshop it?" Haha i know flat abs are hot but i dont care that much as long as you look down and if u can see your toes ;)

[PrinceSoren]

Are you asking if I photoshopped my abs? Haha

[meibay313]

Yes.. And whenever i see too awesome abs i say that to people lol

[PrinceSoren]

I promise you those are real. I don't know how else to prove it. XD I think, thenk you though...I think. Ha

[meibay313]

haha awesome :D

[PrinceSoren]

Thenk you much miss!

[bubbletrouble]

I think its just an added bonus really.
Abs make a woman wet like crazy but its not a requirement.

[PrinceSoren]

Haha But it's definitely a turn on?

[bubbletrouble]

Yes its a turn on.

[PrinceSoren]

Haha Glad we got that cleared up. So abs a plus. ^ :P

[Amberly94]

Abs are everything. Jk but when my SO cuts for summer I love them<3

[PrinceSoren]

Haha! The cuts? Like the v-shape?

[Amberly94]

cuts, like cuts carbs/body fat from bulking and building August - January:) but yes, abs and the V are much more defined.

[PrinceSoren]

Okay. I get it. Haha So then you're a pretty healthy person yourself?

[Amberly94]

mhmm:P

[PrinceSoren]

Very cool. Haha Only for those months or all year round? :P

[Amberly94]

I stay lean all year. I have no need to bulk or increase size.:) I do kill it during the winter to look best during the summer tho.

[PrinceSoren]

That's how it's 'posed to be. You keep your summer body all year round and you're good to go.

[Anonymous]

Doesn't matter to me cause I love my BF...he has a belly on him...I actually have stomach muscles and a bit of a six pack developing...

[PrinceSoren]

I guess that would be the opposites attracting. That just means that you see more in him than the physical attributes which is awesome!

[guitar-guy06]

They matter most. I want to get more in shape and work out more and soon have more build abs.

[PrinceSoren]

So you're going for the all around healthy look?

[guitar-guy06]

Yess, new year resolution!

[guitar-guy06]

Oh I thought I wrote, "they matter To most" not that they matter most lol hahahaha sorry.

[PrinceSoren]

Hahaha! XD Hakuna Matata sir bro. Is that your sole reasoning for it though? 'Cause girls notice?

[guitar-guy06]

Hahahaha it seems like it tho huh lol nah just to be healthy

[PrinceSoren]

There you go! As long as you are doing it for your first!

[guitar-guy06]

Yes that's right, my health comes first that's the most important thing.

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

Abs at +2 Sexy Score.

[PANDAmonium]

Thats just minimum, occasionally adds more

[PrinceSoren]

For girls?

[thatbuffedkid]

Those are bones, Not abs bruh. No offense

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

Ouch. XD

[thatbuffedkid]

I am js for the bro. Sooner he knows, better. I recommend a year on MISC

[PrinceSoren]

I'm really not offended. Haha I'm a performer so it's better for me to be leaner. Thank you for your suggestion though, sir bro.

[thatbuffedkid]

I just didn't know how to make it sound less meaner, Believe me. I am never mean to fellow bros ha

[thatbuffedkid]

Bulk up like 7 pounds and see how it looks. won't take your abs away

[PrinceSoren]

No worries my dude. I'm 5'9" 135-140 and proud. Haha

[thatbuffedkid]

I see you on path already. Since when you liftin?

[PrinceSoren]

I actually don't lift. It's just how I'm growing I guess.

[thatbuffedkid]

Damnn bro. Well you should start lifting then there would be more crowd for you than already is to perform in front of if you #nomwatmsayin

[PrinceSoren]

Hahaha! Maybe. Haha Good advice. I guess I'm just in like with my being lean. Haha Self image stuff probably.

[thatbuffedkid]

Nothing suits a bruh better than what he think suits him.

[PrinceSoren]

Amen to that! Haha I take it you lift?

[thatbuffedkid]

Duh. Look at em guns baha but as I said. Bruh in his own always adds in points for him so to each his own

[PrinceSoren]

Gotcha my dude. Haha
