Are muscles not attractive these days?

[Anonymous]

Growing up everytime there was a hot shirtless guy my mom or female friends would act crazy and then there was fitness magazines and girls on social media acting thirsty over hot guys.

But now its almost like girls aren't attracted to the male body in the slightest and most prefer dad bods over a lean, muscular physique (probably because it makes them feel less self concious about hoe they look)

But yeah so are muscles just not attractive anymore?

If ur using every possible supplement and traning wrong ur look like shit. Womens are attracted to nice body and not muscular body and that means no matter how much muscle u got if they look nice they will be attracted. Bodybuilding is art. Many people mistaken that bodybuilding is physicall working. Nope. I also did before only traning and i got muscle. but i looked like fat bulky piece of shit. Since i started working with my brain i look much better and lets say girls are crazy about my body. This can't be explained maybe one day ull understand but working out is not just pumping muscle, its all in ur head , once u realize how it works ull see that it can't be exaplained. I bett 90% guys in gym dont even know proper form for exercises and thats reason why they look like shit ad why womens are not attracted to them. Every guy who is super lean and for example jeff seid, connor murphy they are not just pumping reps, its much more and thats why they look good.

slim/lean/muscles is the way to go because 1 it makes your jawline stand out when you are slim and 2 clothes look better on slim people. obviously skinny people can also do this which is why a lot of girls like skinny guys too but if you can have some muscle definition and still stay slim you will be doing good for yourself.

[Hunterb]

Yeah maybe so but it looks like you don’t even lift

[Hunterb]

Skinny guy wears a medium meanwhile I wear an xl snug af

[realraphzy]

@Hunterb yeah i get that, tbh big muscles mostly get attention from other guys lol. girls think differently than guys and i'm sure many appreciate it when a guy takes off his jumper and he is unexpectedly lean. you have to leave room for imagination that's what makes it more hot in my opinion

[Hunterb]

Most girls don’t like veins and shit just have a six pack visible and you can have both 15-20% with a six pack is best look and best for recovery

[realraphzy]

but you can be quite buff but still muscular like connor murphy on youtube. i think that is the max bigness you would want to get and defined like that.

[Hunterb]

Eric bugenhagen is what I’m talking about

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb that is scary!!! I worry about arguments with guys that look like this.

[hsshannah96]

A guy with that much would have me scared for a while when I first meet them... if they raised their voice I’d go place something in front of myself!! Hahaha

[Hunterb]

He’s a nice guy from his channel a little too intense lifting in his basement though

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb ah. At first I will be nervous but if they showed they weren’t going to get angry at little things and were loving and gentle I’d be ok. I wouldn’t just go up and talk to them though if I liked them that’s for sure.

[hsshannah96]

Oh yeah and no taller than 6 ft. Taller than that and I’m on my tiptoes to kiss them

[Hunterb]

This guy is 6’2 235 lbs no steroids he has a pretty wife and kids

[Hunterb]

He’s actually in the wwe as well professionally wrestling background

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb oh cool.

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb so I guess these guys are capable of being kind and caring and not only think about themselves

[Hunterb]

Yeah I’m trying to replicate his physique but I’m short 5’8

[Hunterb]

Yeah never judge a book by its cover

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb oh. Yeah my first ex was 5’9. Perfect kiss height. Be happy you’re not too tall. Hurts our legs less

[hsshannah96]

With my second ex I’d jump a bit to kiss him

[hsshannah96]

I’m 5’5

[Hunterb]

Seems like a lot of girls like taller men your the first one I have seen say something like this

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb well I care about the guy not hurting his back. Lol. I’m affectionate and it’s easier when they’re not too tall

[Hunterb]

Haha good for you

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb sarcasm?

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb ok whatever. I don’t mind if they’re tall I just stated what I prefer. be that way

[Hunterb]

No sarcasm here 😬😬😬

[hsshannah96]

@Hunterb oh ok

[Hunterb]

We all like what we like I don’t judge

They are attractive, it's nice to see a guy works out, just not to much, for example six packs are not attractive.

[Buckzor]

You don't need to workout to get a six pack, how are muscles attractive, if you just sold a whole group of muscles as unattractive? How are abs any different from chest, shoulder or back muscles?

[Asker]

So muscles are attractive but 6 packs arent?

[Opinion Owner]

Not six pack as muscles, you know when guys in gym and they exaggerate.

[Opinion Owner]

* when guys in gym work out and exaggerate

[Asker]

What u mean guys exaggerate lol?

[Buckzor]

What? A six pack literally IS muscle, everything you see on a person is generally muscle lol? Obviously apart from fat covering the muscle.

Exaggerate what? No idea what you mean

[Anonymous]

Big muscles are more a masculine power fantasy than something women look for in general.

[Asker]

So its kind of like big boobs for guys? Its sexy but not something ideal for a partner irl?

[Opinion Owner]

It's something women in general aren't that interested in. Men aspire to being muscular because they want to feel powerful.

[Asker]

So women just srent that visually into men?

[Opinion Owner]

Women look at men's faces, their hair, their hands.. Body wise personally I prefer skinny guys. But in general I think the most popular is just being average-ly lean, a guy who looks 'normal'

[Asker]

But skinny guys are ugly? The male body looks so gross and boring eith no muscle

[Opinion Owner]

Not an objective thing; hence I was so careful to highlight when I was generalising. I definitely do think what you've said there demonstrates the divide between how men want to look and what women are attracted to though, 'cause I don't think I'm that uncommon in liking skinny guys

[Asker]

I think that women just aren't that visual and dont really experience lust or attraction based off physicality.
The female body naturally has a nice/ sexy shape (hips, boobs, ass, legs etc) where mens without muscle is just a skinny, noodle arm board lol

[hsshannah96]

I don’t mind but usually the guys with lots of muscle are full of themselves.

[Asker]

So you dont really care how guys look?

[hsshannah96]

I care a bit more that they aren’t a dick

[Asker]

So girls just genuinely aren't attracted visually/ physically are they?

[hsshannah96]

We are but we want their personality to be amazing. If that isn’t nice then we’re out. (If you find the right girl)

[Asker]

I don't know i think girls can find a guy hot but ifr what I've seen and heard they aren't attracted or desire men visually like we do with women.

[MarieBauder]

Oh muscular guys still peak a woman's attention. ;)

[Asker]

So you still find it attractive?

[MarieBauder]

Absolutely.

[Asker]

Do you think the majority of girls still find it attractive?
Cause years ago it use to seem like every girl loved a muscular and lean looking guy but now the amount of girls I've heard who say they hate guys that workout or the dad bod is so much hotter etc

[MarieBauder]

Yeah, that might be true but there still are women out there that like the muscular form.

[KAF87]

Yeah um... Post only a shirtless pic of a ripped chest with 8 pack and set your age to 24 on POF. Tell me how many messages you get.

Women still want shapely men. Maybe not 90s track and field, steroid fitness men like they used to.

[DoctorWize]

If the guy is too fat or too muscly, he is a turn off.

[Asker]

But do u actually feel attracted to a lean, muscular physique?

[Pamina]

A bit of muscles looks great, but anything beyond that looks ridiculous.

[Asker]

But is it attractive? Or just something that looks alright?

[Pamina]

I don't know how much clearer I can say it than I just did...

[Asker]

Point was does it just look good or do u actually feel attracted to a hot body?

[Pamina]

I don't get what you're asking. If I consider something a "hot body", that pretty much equals attractiveness. The word "hot" would kinda give that away.

[Pamina]

Also, I'm straight. So when something on a man looks great to me, then obviously that means I find it attractive. I thought that was pretty much self. explanatory.

[Asker]

Well many women can find a guy hot or attractive but in actulity feel no sexual or physical attraction since their not as visual as men.

[Pamina]

I don't think they'd use these words then though. And while women might not be as visual as men, generally speaking, threy're much more visual than guys like to think.

[Asker]

Tbh i kinda feel like men over estimate womens attraction/ visual nature, hence how most guys go to the gym and try to get buff ony to realise it doesn't make a difference in attracting women really.

[Pamina]

It's really the other way around.

And sorry, but your gym example doesn't work. The reason why it doesn't work is because most women dislike the look of buff guys.

[Asker]

When i say buff i dont mean the cloudy steroid look, i mean muscular, lean and in shape.
Most guys workout or start working out to inpress girls but wuickly realise it makes fuck all difference because i just dont believe woemn are that visually attracted to men.

[Pamina]

They are. The difference is just that they don't act on it like guys do, mostly because of social norms and pressure. But women do lust after guys merely because of their looks. It's just, they won't do anything about it unless the guy's personality is also attractive to them.

[boggboss]

They do like musicals but don't require a guy to have them

[Asker]

I don't know seems like they dont even like them these days

[boggboss]

They do lol

[Asker]

Hiw u sure lol?

[boggboss]

Vary sure like I said just because a guy has muscles don't mean she will go to them but having them is nice

[Storm_Soldier2377]

The only physical traits women really seem to care about is height and face. Not even weight seem to be really all that much of an issue.

[Hunterb]

I only ever hear this shit online not even once do I hear girls say this irl

[Storm_Soldier2377]

"this shit?"?

Clarify please

[Hunterb]

Tall guys who weigh 140 lbs are not attractive

[Storm_Soldier2377]

@Hunterb they are more attractive than fit, short guys though.

[Hunterb]

No they aren’t they are skinny af and look like a dead fish and have no power in bed

[Hunterb]

I don’t care if girls like big muscles or not I like having them and I’m married to the iron.

[Asker]

Fair enough lol

[alice55]

In my country they prefer skinny guys in general.

[Asker]

What countries that?

[alice55]

France

[Nandor]

Many guys have it now so its not as impressive

[Asker]

Not many guysbhave genuinely good physiques that sre aesthetic tho. Either too much body fat or too little muscle. Hard to find a genuinely nice body.

[hsshannah96]

Not sure about that. Most of the guys I meet are long and lean or chubby and have dad bods
