Why do girls like muscular guys?

[Moose19]

I'm not muscular but not too skinny and i'm a footballer (soccer) not professionally so i'm thin, why do girls like muscular guys?

[happycactus]

Every body type is okay by me...
I also think muscles are hot because they show discipline and activeness - I work out a lot, too and I think it's awesome when people are fit and sporty.
That boy I'm crushing on is actually pretty thin and doesen't exercise, though. When you start liking a person, the physical appearance becomes soooo irrelevant!!!

It comes down to a prefernce. Most girls who work out they find attractive only guys who are muscular, athletic, not something over the top, but to have a good body. While girls who dont work out at all or less fitter they usually dont put to much importance on a guys body, but both would be ideal. Perspective from a girl who works out daily.

Why do guys like boobs? Because they don't have them. They're a sign of femininity. Muscles are a sign of masculinity. Women, being feminine (for the most part) are attracted to masculinity. Muscles don't need to be huge body building type muscles, but as long as there are muscles and they look good...you're basically set.

I don't. A little muscle is fine, but I don't like it when guys hang out at the gym like every other day. That's too much. Looking healthy is great and all, but I want you to look normal too.

Personally I believe it has to do with the drive to go to the gym regularly and then of course what comes after. I work out 5 to 6 days a week for 2 hours each session. An hour weight and an hour of cardio. I get attention from women my age group and younger women. I turn 48 in a week. Guys who go to the gym usually are driven and focused guys also.

Girls who like muscular men like them for similar reasons. They like the aesthetics of an in shape body, they like the strength that comes with it and they like how it is more masculine.

These questions were asked many times. My answer is the same. I prefer a man which takes care of himself. Being muscular doesn't mean always good looking. Because there are some people , exaggerating it a lot.

Fairly muscling and healthy look are my fav.

Generally, it's the abs. All girls salivate at ABS. Then again, it could be your own confidence. Muscular guys know they look good, even if their faces aren't the best, they know their body's are that good. So yeah, just think about it.

He can take care of himself and if y ii u talk about sex. Like... he's great to look at naked. Strong to carry you and overall just makes your horny♡♡♡

[Dzindzer]

I am not into too many muscles but I want him to be fit. It shows me that he takes care of him self. I am not much into abs, I mean I don't hate them, but I am more attracted to good muscular thighs.

Strength is a symbol of manhood. Dudes with muscles look strong.

I assume that's the logic anyway. I could be wrong.

[LenoreBeadsman]

I don't like them for example but I think it's a thing connected to society standards of beauty maybe

[Anastasiya00]

cause it reflects physical strength, obviously, so makes them look more masculine, and to me can also be dominance and protection

[MasqueradeMassacreTM]

Not all girls like muscular guys. I don't. I honestly don't find myself attracted to them. I think it's gross, actually.

[sherlocked]

I don't like muscular men. I mean they are ok but too much is like...too much. The more normal you are, the better.

[bellegirl16]

We're hard wired that way. I have no independent control over it ;)
But too muscular is bad. Usually footballers have niiiice bodies!

[Anonymous]

it's like why do guys like girls with nice body :) I just find it really attractive if a guy is muscular. Might be because it seem to me that they appear to me more like a man.

[knotme]

It's nature, he is meant to hurt and protect, and fit is the body type that goes well with nature

[Red_Dragon]

A lot of girls like just regular guys. Most girls don't want a muscle head. Just a fit guy at most.

[kaili]

I actually dislike muscular guys. I like guys with thin or normal body.

[Anonymous]

I like anything from thin to athletic. Its fat guys that I'm not attracted to. Men should have hard bodies not soft pillsbury dough boy bodies. That's not hot at all.

[Phoenix98]

Muscles are a sign of masculinity, discipline, power.

[meibay313]

I don't like muscular guys LOL I like guys with some fat (?) :) too much muscle scares me!

[genericname85]

you can´t generalize it like that... girls have personal preferences too.

[MeatPuppet]

Because it is a normative standard in Western culture. In East Asian, skinnier men tend to be viewed as more desirable.

i don't know. i never have. my bf is a soccer player too. he's very thin.
