Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI just read something about this the other day!
First, personally I like muscles and being toned, but there are guys whose biceps are the size of my head and all of the ones I've encountered have this ego with deeply rooted insecurity which is a scary combo.
But for what I read, more women are actually attracted to toned, strong lean guys not really big, steroid looking muscles because of evolution and survival with a mate. Toned guy would be able to run and climb quicker with a higher endurance whereas a guy who spend all of his time weight-lifting would actually have a lesser chance of survival. Nowadays, the ideal mate body image is more based on societal standards rather than survival and the threats are different so girls are more likely to find either attractive.00 Reply

I'm definitely one of the girls on here guilty of saying I don't like the heavy body-builder type. My rationale would be that 1.) the dude would spend an extraordinary amount of his time in the gym, 2.) he would likely be on a health kick so he might judge me for eating junk food, and also 3.) the possibility of roid rage comes to mind.
At least for me, my preference for body types would be toned, slightly fit, or even a bit fluffy lol.34 Reply
Asker+1 yHe "might" judge you, keyword might. He "might" have roid rage. Not all of them do. Actually most of them don't. If you want to hug a toned and bony guy like me then you would be very uncomfortable
Asker+1 yNo I'm healthy, but women do not like my body type. It's the reason I can't get a girlfriend, or a girl to sleep with me, or a girl to even be attracted to me. I know it's a fact and most girls cover it up
i actually do prefer skinnier guys. All my crushes/boyfriends have been quite skinny, and I've just never been as attracted to muscly guys. My friends don't get it, we'll be watching TV and they'll be admiring Chris Hemsworth and Ryan Reynolds and guys like that, but I don't think buff, muscly guys look that nice, definitely prefer skinny guys

+1 yI do like muscular guys, but most of the time, they always come with a catch. In my PERSONAL experience, most muscular guys I've met are so full of themselves that it turns me off completely. I could go on and on about this aspect alone, but I'll just leave it at that...

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yHate to tell you man, but each woman has her own type. I'm a really skinny guy myself, and I've never been wanting on the romantic front. Maybe you should chill out.

Asker+1 yYes, but the attraction to muscular guys is almost universal. Every attractive girl I've seen so far is with a muscular guy.
Opinion Owner+1 yA man doesn't have to be muscular to have a relationship. He may have to be interesting or decent, or to have something that makes him bearable.

Asker+1 yThe bottom pic is my definition of muscular. The top pic is more of a toned out look, but he's still skinny and unattractive (body wise) to most girls.
Asker+1 yI've met a girl who wouldn't date me unless I was above a certain body weight and below a certain body weight
Opinion Owner+1 ywell she was clearly not worth it, please tell me you didn't date her lmao I don't like big guys the muscle proportions kind of weird me out
I don't find the 1st guy unattractive body wise -at all- he's lean and fit = perfect
Asker+1 yNo I didn't. I didn't plan to she was only a friend, but she was very attractive and told me that. The fist guy is too skinny for most girls they want someone who looks like they can protect them, not someone who looks like they'd ditch them in the event a fight was gonna break out
Opinion Owner+1 yyea no.. I'm not sure many women think like that, let's make a poll haha link a picture of a muscular guy and I will pick one of a lean/fit guy and let the girls of gag decide 😝 also I've got a pink upvote lol
+1 yI've never been attracted to a muscular guy. All my crushes were skinny or average and my boyfriend is skinny. I don't have anything against muscular guys, anyway ☺

I just don't feel attracted to them, I can't choose something like that and I'm not intimidated by muscular guys or muscular people in general
Asker+1 yWhat are the traits a skinny guy has that a muscular doesn't?
- +1 y
Why you can't believe or accept that exist girls that doesn't find muscular guys attractive?
Asker+1 yBecause I can't believe them. Most of he attractive women I've seen are with muscular dudes and girls say they don't like them so they can hide it
- +1 y
Is it possible, that this thought of yours is the consequence of a rejection by a woman you foud attractive that chose a muscular guy instead of you? And made you believe that all the women on earth are liars and only want muscular guys? Because trust me I wouldn't have problems admitting that I find this type of guys attractive. People have different tastes, it really happens, and I truly prefer skinny/average guys
Asker+1 yThat has happened to me before, every time I've asked a girl which was over 30 girls. And girls lusting over muscular guys is almost universal. You see it on tv and in real life. It all boils down to biology

Oh my god... So that means I am an alien? I always knew that but now I'm sure. Thank you, now I know that I am the only female alien (with human appearances) that don't find muscular guys attractive. I must say now, that your planet it's quite bizarre. There are a lot of stubborn people and that's now what I wished, by the way.
Asker+1 yHaha very sarcastic. Most girls do at the end of the day like muscular men. If that wasn't the case I would have a girlfriend by now.
- +1 y
Maybe, if you weren't so stubborn about something you'd have a girlfriend if not even a harem
Asker+1 yI'm not stubborn I'm avoided because I'm skinny no attractive girl in her right mind would want to date a skinny guy
- +1 y
But I truly love skinny guys!!! My crushes in the past, my boyfriend and my everyday taste in guys can prove that. There's always an exception, don't generalise
Asker+1 yOk I isn't say there were no exceptions. I'm saying that most girls like muscular men and that is fact
- +1 y
I don't think so, but where are the proves of this fact? Are there scientific/real biological studies that proves that? However, it may be because a lot of muscular guys maybe are more confident with their self-image and more likely to be extroverted, but it's just a supposition, I knew and know a lot of guys without a muscular body that are confident and many girls find them really attractive. The personality of a person, is also another fundamental aspect when we talk about what we find attractive, so a beautiful personality will always more chances to attract possible partners. But anyway I know you'll probably stay with your opinion, and at the end it's okay if you really think most girls only like muscular guys, become a muscular guy it's not so difficult. Now I should sleep it's midnight where I live and I hope you'll have a nice day/night

Asker+1 yHow would muscles ruin that?
Asker+1 yAnd skinny makes you squeezable? That's like squeezing a skeleton. And this is coming from a skinny guy
It's like how a lot of guys say they don't like big boobs, little waist and a big butt.
Someone with That kind of body is too much effort.20 Reply
+1 yBecause it's ugly. We like guys that are skinny, slim or chubby that's it.
21 Reply
Asker+1 yHow is it ugly? That's a straight up lie because otherwise, they wouldn't be attracting some of the most attractive women I've ever seen
Muscles are used to hurt people. I'm afraid of it because what if we get married and then you suddenly get mad at me enough to hit me? That would hurt. A skinny guy hurting me would still hurt... but at least I can defend myself. If a muscular comes at me full force, I wouldn't be able to bring him down. I hate muscles cos I learned that people who are proud of their strength use it to hurt and control people.

Asker+1 yThey don't have to, it's just that most of them do because they want to feel protected and have someone to cuddle with. They won't feel very protected against a guy who weighs less than them

Once again, how do you know that they want to feel protect? And truth be told, it's not like they can't feel "protected" with someone that looks physically weak.
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI think muscle is attractive.

Asker+1 yYeah kind of. I'm tired of girls saying they don't want a muscular guy, but then go and date a muscular guy and it sucks even more for me because it's impossible for me to gain muscle I've been working out for a year and a half and I'm still skinny
- +1 y
It's not impossible. Eat more, get enough protein, and do heavy weight training. Shaping one's body isn't impossible for anybody, you just need to do it more intelligently and continue to be diligent.
Asker+1 yI eat four full course meals everyday from the cafeteria packed with macronutrients and still can't gain the weight. I've tried every trick in the book the only thing I haven't done are steroids and I'm considering those
- +1 y
I mean, you can keep convincing yourself that your body just works differently than every other human body in the world. But it doesn't. Sounds like you have an extremely high metabolic rate, not uncommon for skinny guys, but there's a healthy way to achieve what you want.
Asker+1 yI did the healthy way and it isn't working. So that would mean it's unachieveable. I ride a bike to my classes every day, but that's not burning a whole lot of calories and I can't avoid riding my bike to my classes.
- +1 y
Biking isn't the way. That is great for burning calories and dropping fat, but will do basically nothing at all for building muscle. You need weight training and protein.
Asker+1 yI do weight training and protein, everyday except Sunday, and all the compound excercises too. And I eat enough protein and calories to surpass my needs everyday
- +1 y
Good. Now keep at it, keep adding weight, every single day if you can. This isn't some crazy mystery man. Keep lifting and lifting more, keep up the dietary needs, get a decent night's sleep every night, and keep at it. Eventually biology will win out. If not, you're some freak of nature and you need to be locked in a lab and studied for the rest of your life.
Asker+1 yThat's not true. There are plenty of conditions out there where it makes it impossible for some people to gain weight and I don't know if I have one of those conditions or not. I've been working out for a year and a half and it only toned me out, not made me bulkier.
- +1 y
When you say that, I immediately assume that you're not increasing the weight you're lifting frequently enough. See a professional.
Asker+1 yI am, but strength does not equal muscle growth. You can be skinny as hell and lift heavy weights. I do it all the time. People look at me weirdly when they see me squatting 225 and I'm only 5'8 and 132 pounds.
- +1 y
225 isn't that impressive on squats. Keep at it man. Persistence and determination are key. Temper tantrums about how girls are liars are unattractive no matter the body type.
Asker+1 y225 for a guy my size is though. And it doesn't matter if they find that unattractive because I'm already unattractive to them anyways because I'm skinny
- +1 y
225 for a guy your size is not impressive.
