Are women more attracted to bulky men or lean muscle, what type of personality also?

[Dewreck]

Just curious. This will probably sound bad. So I lift in the gym to help my physical appearance and confidence because I feel that's all I can do to get my foot in the door with women. I was wondering what qualities you look for and physical body type out of curiosity? I've been told I'm a better then average looking guy as well.

Big bulky

Lean cut

[AbbyKay]

leeeean tooooooned muscle is hawwwwwwt! im into like a soccer player or swimmer body. not wrestler or football player so much. and i like a respectful guy who is mellow and a bit of a nerd and who's funny. oh and i love a guy who can dance. its soooo hot when a guy knows how to move ;) my last crush was a king on the dance floor oh lawdy

[itsamemacy]

Personality here, not really as much of a looks person, it doesn't matter if they're lean or muscley :)

[Roostah]

Despite what women may say. Studies don't like:

www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a22977-girls-on-tinder-do-smash-a-lot

Women like muscular guys.

[Roostah]

Studies don't lie

[Eric644]

actually many studies show that women are not attracted to bulky men and find them repulsive, lean muscle not bulk muscle

here is one of those sources where women said bulky men grossed them out

@Eric644 Yeah all that is BS. Do not buy into what women say but what they do. Women like guys who are fit. Not talking steriod level fit but Usian Bolt physique.

[Eric644]

they like lean fit guys like Micheal Phelps or Bruce Lee bodies, they do not like the rock or Hulk Hogan bodies

[Roostah]

@Eric644 Yeah they actually like those bodies too. Again women often say they don't like muscular guys but they secretly do.

[Eric644]

yeah, but lean muscular bodies. Girls will gag if you show them pictures of Hulk Hogan or Lou Ferrigno. Muscular for a woman means lean, cut, has abs (think abercrombie mode). Power lifter bodies just don't attract women

[Roostah]

@Eric644 Power lifter (Jeff Seid).

[Eric644]

dude, trust me, women eye the guys wth the model physiques or the MMA physiques, maybe the leaner body builders but power lifters and bulky body builders usually do not attract women

[Roostah]

@Eric644 Yeah i'm not trusting your oppinion. My personal experience of women's action (not words) show that they are very attracted to muscular guys. Story on gag even showed up a week ago about a bodybuilder sleeping with a girl in a 9 year relationship who has a kid with some guy (who probably believes like yourself that women aren't into muscular guys) she sees at the gym.

Also from my personal trainer who I'm good friends with and has photo, text evidence to back this up, has 3 somes with rich, 18-20's girls who use him as a sex toy, a bunch of other girls and has a a hot girlfriend.

[Eric644]

I doubt that, the hulk hogan physique is not desirable to women, maybe to women at biker bars

[Eric644]

I said lean bodybuilders, those who are bodybuilders but still have a lean physique, yes they do well, but the bulky men that look stubby, stocky, have no neck, and have veins popping out everywhere is just not attractive to women

[curious111]

*sigh* at least you can fix the problem.. i look like a child even tho i'm 22 wtf. lol

[Dewreck]

What do you mean?

[Dousj]

All it really takes is not being out of shape and having a great personality.

[AleDeEurope]

Bulky, that's what I've seen.

[Dewreck]

Yeah I'm at 165 now my goal is 180-185

[ChocoLada]

Not true, lean and toned guys like you are perfect ;)
Bulky guys are nothing special 😒

[AleDeEurope]

@ChocoLada I don't know, I usually hear the opposite, and see girls go for the opposite :/

[ChocoLada]

Girls who like bulky guys are mostly empty headed, they don't know what's good for them ;)

[Eric644]

nope, leaned and toned is where its at, bulky only gets you praise from other men in the weightroom, women don't find it attractive. It s mostly bigorexic men who are telling you this, not women.

[AleDeEurope]

@Eric644 That's what I see women going for though. I'm not talking about extremely bulky, though, like a weightlifter, those don't get many attention.

[Eric644]

I think the bodytype that attracts the most women is like a swimmer's body, or a lean MMA fighter, think more like Bruce Lee or Micheal Phelps and less like Hulk Hogan or The Rock

[ChocoLada]

Yeah, @Eric644 is right, I dislike too huge guys like The Rock, but I like lean and toned guys like Bruce Lee, or you @AleDeEurope ;)

[AleDeEurope]

@ChocoLada I guess you guys are right then haha :P

[pezzonovante88]

@ChocoLada So true!

[TheSpartan]

@ChocoLada That's because the Rock uses steroids--lots if them.

Bulky, non-steroid using men look vastly better than "toned" guys.

[Eric644]

@TheSpartan
toned looks better than bulky in my opinion

[TheSpartan]

@Eric644 Define "toned" and define "bulky". I think the best look is body of s great warrior--someone who can smash in another's skull.

[Eric644]

@TheSpartan
bulky= Lou ferrigno, Hulk Hogan, The Rock

toned= Bruce Lee, Micheal Phelps, model physique

[TheSpartan]

Bulky is always better, despite what women say.

Women aren't very good judges of what constitutes a good male body, so take their opinions with a grain of salt.

[Eric644]

what is being asked though is what women find attractive, women don't find bulky attractive

[TheSpartan]

@Eric644 Yeah, but why should he care? I feel infinitely better, more self-confident, and just happier being "bulky" and strong than I did when I had the "swimmer's body".

[Eric644]

for me its about looking good, being lean helps me attract women and I look great in a suit, plus im only 5'7 so being bulky would make me look stubby and stocky

[TheSpartan]

@Eric644 I'm 5'7, too, though.

What do you mean when you say bulky, exactly?

[Eric644]

meaning, looking like the hulk or mr universe... yuck

[tayoker]

One girl attracted to who you are better than millions attracted to what you have.

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Women prefer lean,
I say fuck it, i am going to be happy with my bulkiness

[Eric644]

dude, stay lean, girls like lean muscle better

[Prettygurl12]

Google Olympic swimmers.

That is my ideal.

[MovingSinGirl]

the gentleman personality, the nice guy
