When most women say they don't like "really muscular" men, what they actually mean are misshapen freaks who piss out pure dianabol and die off by 45 to a heart attack.
But in plenty of cases what they describe as "toned", "not too much" or even "ideal" are actually men who have been lifting for 5+ years and sometimes have been on steroids for half as long.
When I was younger and I'd say that I was lifting for 2+ years a lot of women would immediately go like "eek, I don't like guys to be too big!" only for them to say "ohh this is totally fine!" after they've actually got to see me.
Most women simply aren't familiar with what it takes to be a certain level of muscular, they have this idea that looking like Hollywood actors is the result of 6~ months at the gym, whereas in reality it's often the result of years of lifting and frequent steroid use.
Most dudes will never even attain the "too much look", because in women's heads it's generally the extremes.

Do you really think all women have a secret plot to lie about what they find attractive? Why would we do that? Some people like muscular guys, some people like chubby guys, some people like skinny guys. Personally I’m most attracted to guys who are pretty average or even with a bit of extra weight to guys who are toned but not overly muscular.
You keep bringing up male strippers - not a single woman I have ever met have had any experience with male strippers. I’m sure real ones probably have all sorts of different body types, and the ones in films are usually very muscular like the photo you posted which is why you’re referring to that. I think generally male strippers are more of a thing for gay men rather than women.
You keep asking why, you don’t understand why women don’t prefer this body type etc. but that is probably because you are a man who isn’t sexually attracted to men. These types of super muscular guys appeal to the male gaze, not the female gaze - it’s basically what men think a man should look like, not what women actually prefer in most cases.
But of course all body types can be attractive and everyone likes different things, so some women will love this and others won’t
Dear Lord, how I wish men would understand that women don't think like them.
Anyways,
this is attractive, purely as aesthetic, he is beautiful.Seth Rogen, as an example, is obviously not that beautiful looking like the first guy BUT and this is the main thing, he is still attractive as he has an attractive personality and he looks like a decent guy who knows how to treat his woman. Nobody ever said that chubby guys are the most attractive, as you claim in your question, but nobody said it either that they can't be attractive. Love and attraction come together, and as there is love, there is attraction.
by the way female strippers all have the same figure too, and surprise, all kind of women find boyfriends, from 40kg to 400kg.
I will never deny, I would grasp for air, if pic 1 passed me but it doesn't change the fact that I am in love with my best guy friend, pining over him for years now and he has the same body as Seth, but a slightly bigger manboobs. I don't care, he is the most amazing guy I have met, and I would choose him even if pic 1 would queue in front of my door, with Zaf Efron.
The consensus is that most women like a dad bod, those that are super muscle really but so attractive. This is funny to me because you know we automatically assume it was the muscular guy since they always swooned over them but apparently it isn't

No, lol.
I find muscular men attractive.
I used to find it unattractive.
Then i liked a guy.. turned out he was ripped. Afterwards i started appreciating that body type and now it's become my preference.
A lot of my friends don't find the guys i like attractive and think their bodies are "gross" or "too muscular".
There are girls that prefer chubby guys and skinnier guys, just like there are men that prefer skinnier women and chunkier women.
All of the men I've dated have been absolutely attractive to me.
Try accepting that we each have our own preferences instead of claiming that we're all liars.Muscular and strong to some extend.. but the ideal that you posted is not for all women. I have been with men of various body types, I know what I prefer, and it is not that man.
First of all I like a man that is not much broader/taller than me, and I am petite and thin. Feels much better cuddling when I can easily reach around him and so.
And a layer of fat on top of the muscles feels the best. Hint of muscles look nice, but the ripped look is ridiculous to me. Especially big protruding thighs, biceps, neck and chest.I think a lot of women say this because they haven’t been with a muscular man for instance me I always say I like chubbier guys but I know if I had a man that was muscular toned it would be a whole Nother ball game and I would literally probably hump his arms😂
I agree with the statement but not the photo, he isn't natural.
When most girls say "dad bod" they don't actually mean a beer belly and manboobs like a lot of dads have, they just mean a heavier set, does lots of manual labour type body.
Toned is best for most guys and girls, not outright muscular or unfit. A nice healthy middle ground where you can make out some definition but they don't look like Schwarzenegger.this is sooooo true. Women jus play semantics. What skinny to some friends is not skinny to others.
FACT: The videos of guys catching girls staring at the gym when they take their shirt off is always of a Greek god never a skinny guy becuase no girl drools over skinny guys.
women who say they are attracted to skinny guys are the same ones that say they like short men.
All you girls who think I’m wrong, suck my clit bitch I’m based.Generally? No, you're right. The majority of women prefer a toned man, although that doesn't mean they won't take a bit of a dad bod, or more than that, if he's a sweet guy. I like chubby guys most, but I also have a chubby kink, so I don't represent the majority, I know that.
It doesn't matter how you become muscular. If they do it too much, they will become unattractive to the girls. The girls can only be with a guy, who has the brains, who is funny and has a great sense of humor, just like me, not just brawn power alone. Guys, don't be brawny be brainy like the girls.
Hate to brake it to you but different people find different things attractive... extremely muscular men are more a male gaze thing than a female gaze thing...
I don't even like that much! It looks weird to me.
But generally speaking, you're right. He has to be YOWZA! but real looking.First of all... I hardly think ALL male strippers have that body type, though I can't pretend I have any expertise in the area. Second of all no, that's not attractive at all to me.
I really like tones body types… not muscular like the photo or anything like that.
Women do find that attractive, but I don’t think it’s a secret.

Cool pic from the past old-school style of bodybuilding yes I do believe they might wanna guy that’s in shape but I’m not sure how much in shape they want them
Fine really muscular men _____ ? in a location or possesing some quality or trait?
All the guys I know from the gym that are really ripped all have hot girlfrinds.
Steve Reeves most likely wasn't all natural, either. We just didn't know much at all about steroids back then.
Science does say women find strength attractive. Even the ones who say they don't.Yea, beef cakes , they won't admit it. And if they start seeing one , they will say it is because of something else
Muscular men is what other men see as attractive
I have found that women love to sculpt their bodies also. Gives you confidence voice and balance
My ideal is a slender muscular.
