My theory is that women often associate a muscular physique with arrogance, low IQ, uneducated, and being financially insecure. As soon as you break down that barrier and showcase that you are successful in other areas of life as well, they become instantly attracted. That is in regards to long term prospects and dating on an emotional level. Women often want to just fuck you when you're built like a GI-Joe, and then never talk to you again.
I find a massive disparity with reality and what I read on here. Another theory of mine is that they become insecure about their own body. They assume that you'll see them as unattractive and cheat on them with better options. Little did most know, I was a bit of a chubby chaser at times when I was in college.
OR... they have had a bad experience with some meathead in the past. Or maybe they are just of the minority of women who just don't like muscle even though being fit and possessing high amount of testosterone is universally and biologically attractive.
