Girls, Why do so many girls deny their attraction to muscular guys?

[Anonymous]

I've always heard girls say that they're not that into muscular guys, but I've learned the truth from experience. A muscular, outgoing guy will *always* succeed with women. He won't get all women, obviously, but those guys never lack female attention.

I was at a beach weekend when I was a freshman in college, and there were 5 guys and 5 girls in the house. We kept seeing this guy who was staying in a nearby house who was really muscular and lean. He wasn't bodybuilder freaky or anything, but he was physical enough to be in a magazine. All the girls went crazy when they saw him. They constantly looked for him and made a point to go down on the beach and talk to him. He ended up having sex with two of the girls in the house, and the rest of us got a total of no sex that weekend. Once the girls saw that guy they seemed to look at us differently, like he was a man and we were little boys. That was my lesson in how girls *really* feel about muscular guys.

I've worked to get more muscular over the years and have found that girls respond to me better the more muscle I gain. Girls I meet go out of their way to touch my arms and shoulders now, something they never did when I was a skinny guy. So why do y'all deny what most guys know is true, that y'all feel strong sexual attraction to muscular guys?

I won't deny it - I'm attracted to musles.

I believe we are just programmed ri be attractes to muscles and there is biological reasons why this would be the case, firstly in primative times men had to be hunters and protectors and secondly men with muscles have higher testosterone levels so more fertile and higher sex drive.

Much like men are attracted to breasts and hips.

I agree. Most girls are like eh if you ask them, but introduce them to a muscular guy who's confident and outgoing and it's a totally different story. Girls have considered me attractive since high school, but I get about double the attention now from girls than I did when I was 18. The only difference is that I went from 170 pounds to 210 pounds, most of that gain being muscle. Girls just seem to respect guys with muscle as men more than they respect skinny guys.

No I think the respect is still the same - respect is earned by being a goos person. But yeah I believe women are just programmed to have a sexual attraction to guys with muscles and we can't help that it is just the way we are.

I would say because even if girls like muscular guys, we don't rule out a guy because he isn't muscular. It isn't a deal breaker, and personally, I don't want to make a skinny guy feel bad, or like I would not be interested in him just because he is not muscular

I am not denying it... I actually am not attracted to guys that much in the first place but any guy that I am attracted to (including my boyfriend) is not muscular. I personally don't see the desire in cuddling with a brick wall. Just because you have some asshat friends doesn't mean we are all like that.

There's a difference between being attracted to a physical appearance and wanting to have a relationship with someone. I don't want to be with someone who spends a lot of time at the gym because I think that's vain and I hate being at a gym. Personality is far more important to me than a muscular dude who may or may not be as dumb and dry as a post.

A lot of girls have self control and won’t sleep with a guy just because people they think he looks good. My friend had a boyfriend and thought all other guys were ugly, even the hottest of all men was ugly to her. And she did not sleep with him until they were married.

OK look. We like the smart fun nice boys. We do. But, they hardly get our attention because they don't go out of their way, like the muscular boys, to do something to attract our attention, such as paying attention to what they're wearing or memorizing our favorite coffee. It's all about which boy is attractive due to THE EXTRA THINGS THEY DO TO GET OUR ATTENTION.

I don't! Muscular guys are totally fine. The ones who are muscular and lean just look so badass, like they're sooo much more masculine than other guys. Defined abs and chest on a guy are the hottest things by far.

[complicated_soul]

I am not attracted to too much muscles. And even of the guy has the perfect body, I don't think I will ever make an excuse like that to hangout with him.

[whatthehellwasthat]

We like to look, definitely. But personally, it's a bit intimidating to be with someone more fit than you.

[ChooChooHaha]

you can be muscular, you just also have to look real (at least to me). I think too muscular is creepy and artificial looking.

[Walette]

I think it's because they look like 'real men' for a lot of girls.

[Asker]

That's what girls say to me now that I'm more muscular, that I don't look like a boy anymore.

"But I'm not gonna feed to their ego. I'm the lady give me the compliments."
