I 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.

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.
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
I 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...
I think girls like guys with an athletic build.. Not so much bodybuilder.
A guy who hits the gym
With his buddies every once and awhile..
Has a slightly noticeable six pack?
Plays a sport like soccer maybe..
Guy is also 6'2
Brownish Blonde hair,
Hazel eyes..
Oh wait, I'm describing myself.. 😝😅
Hate 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.

fitnessrxformen.com/.../...ULDERS-JEFF-SEID-FB.jpgI'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 ☺
We're not lying ,, HUGE muscles are not attractive to us. A normal amount of muscles are attractive to us. Huge muscles don't scare me ,, I just don't find it hot
I just want someone you can hug like a Teddy bear. Muscles kinda ruin that
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.Because it's ugly. We like guys that are skinny, slim or chubby that's it.
I like muscular guy's but therrs a point where it's TO much and it's just gross
I'm fat and get plenty of girls, they like passion and drive like everyone else lol
I don't like someone who is completely jacked. Them being fit I am attracted to, but not huge muscles. Lol
Muscular guys are fine, as long as they don't have too much muscle.
But why they have to be attracted by muscles? It's not like I have to be attracted to something just because everyone else is.
I think muscle is attractive.
Maybe women say that because a lot of the time it comes with arrogance. I don't know, I guess, to each her own.I love muscular guys!! Makes me feel small and protected
