Do muscles make a man attractive or they don't matter?

Question

AiahZ · Accepted Answer

I've never been into muscles. I'm a very lean, kinda muscular girl myself because I play a LOT of sports. And I prefer a similarly athletic build on a guy (not that I exclude guys who aren't lean). But I think muscles are a lot more important to guys. Read the studies that show the difference between the average woman's male physique ideal and the average guy's. Guys like powerfully muscular builds. Women (tend to like) healthy, lean builds.

But, hey, you do you. Don't let anyone tell you how your body should be. There're women out here who like all different kinds of male bodies. ;)

For me if the face isn't there, it doesn't matter. Women have all different preferences, but for me I don't care too much about muscles, it may look good but a soft body is nice to cuddle with. But he can't be too hairy or too short.

the male vision of an "attractive muscular male" has way more muscle than the equivalent female vision.

by the way i find it quite funny, yeah arnolds physique won't be achievable by most due to his genetics but ironically despite his perfect hero chest, he never managed to build decent looking abs xD

Trust me it definitely makes a difference. Don't get too swole though. Its like girl being fit and slim, or girl being too thin.

You'll notice a difference yourself if you get yourself fit. It has amplifying affect. Its like asking would you find girl who is fit and slim hot?

arabgoddess · Answer

Nope! They aren't a turn on for me.. I think it's the hair that makes me Melt!

Saccharissa · Answer

That's a nope for me personally, I prefer something soft and cuddly.

WalterBlack · Answer

I think women like men that are somewhat muscular. However, being obsessed with bodybuilding or spending more than 10 hours a week at the gym is probably going to be a turn off for most women.

thenewgirlll · Answer

They matter to me. It used to not, but now I find it sexy when guys workout and take good care of themselves, I do the same and I expect the same. It’s hot.

Flower7 · Answer

They are very attractive. I really like to see muscles. I wouldn't want a guy to be too skinny or scrawny.

anonbrunette99 · Answer

I’d say it can be a bonus, like it’s a bonus if a girl has a nice set of boobs or butt? but it really doesn’t matter to me

glutendan · Answer

Keep in mind that girls drastically underestimate how much muscle is a lot. I've had friends who were absolutely ripped and girls said he had just enough muscle. They dont seem to grasp the size/leanness problem

UnknownGagsUser · Answer

As long as you look fit. Muscles or no don't matter

KungfuCyborg · Answer

More like this. Fit, not freak.

Commander_Red · Answer

Some muscles are okay but honestly, I don't like men who are buffed up. I feel uncomfortable. A normal amount of muscle is fine. I could care less if he has abs or not.

ragingumbreon · Answer

muscles like the ones shown make me uncomfortable but muscles in general I don't really care about either way

Prime_Sol · Answer

So, must girls can't handle a guy that really works out and looks good. They are instantly intimidated. Which doesn't make the man less attractive, but most girls are too insecure to be with him for any long period of time.

Liz_thorne · Answer

To an extent. I think it's more important to actually look fit and healthy than to have big muscles.

Mayfair · Answer

To be fit matters ofc but not necessary to have muscles like arnold

Hannah_98 · Answer

A decent amount is good, but not as much as the picture. Too much in my opinion

Briana_1998 · Answer

The best I ever had was with a guy who was just toned. Not muscular, not chunky etc.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

girlinthemirror · Answer

uDontKnowMe06 · Answer

dont matter... but too much muscles will be creepy so uh.. you want a guy who's warm and nice... not the one who looks like he gonna take you to the boxing ring lol

Aya17 · Answer

They definitely make men more attractive. But if a girl just likes a guy because of his muscles then that ain't right y'all.

MorticiAddams · Answer

I've never been a fan of the overly muscled look, but like all things image related; It is totally subjective! Beauty is a matter of personal taste!;

StockholmEwan · Answer

This really depends, I've met girls who liked buffed guys and some who don't. Most girls however like a guy who's fit and keeps healthy.

Majito · Answer

Depends on the guy. Some guys look better with diffrent body types. Just do what makes you happy, you'll eventually find someone that likes you as you are.
