I've always been getting bad impressions of girls at sea when it comes to abdominal muscles ! But I'm still not sure I mean, what's so bad about the muscle of a male belly? It's also the most difficult muscle to work on and highlight ! and the most of guys have a just a bigger chest and some hand muscle I want an answer !!!
WTH told you that? Well I can't speak for all girls/women but I personally do.
I don't think that it's so much that girls don't like guys with abs or aren't fond of abdominal muscles... I think it's more so that they aren't fond of guys that let it go to their head, become conceited, arrogant, and/or full of their selves much like many girls do about their self as well.
I found an article once (if I locate the link I will post) that studied women’s eye motion and time spent on a particular part of the male body. Most dwell in initial contact was the abdomen. I didn’t specify six pack per say but that women subconsciously gauge a man by his gut. It indicates general overall health, high activity, basic common sense stuff. I will say that if I meet a male or female with a gut I become immediately suspicious of them being lazy or not being in control of their life. It might not be true but is an immediate association I have. I gauge my own health by ab ridges (11-12%b-f) and I don’t care a bit if a women like it or not. Forget the scale if you are bulked. The gut is the gauge. I like to be able to run 10 miles casually without much thought of it, press and squat much more than my weight simply because it makes me more physically functional and can do a strenuous job/activity if need be e. g.. The only reason I can think of why a girl doesn’t like your ab muscles is it challenges her and maybe shames her because she might be pathetically overweight and reminds her of that fact. If a woman accepts a guy with a gut she is just more comfortable with that and I wouldn’t expect to see her out on a run or in the gym anywhere in the future. A healthy guy gut I think will attract a healthy girl.
So you're saying in your experience women DON'T like ab muscles? Well, everyone is different. That's the boring and true answer. If I like a guy a lot, and the chemistry is amazing, then whatever his body is is what I'll like. But just walking on the beach or whatever... ya a cute, sexy guy with abs is a cute sexy guy with abs :P But I've also seen guys that have great bodies and abs that I just don't find appealing or attractive, and then it doesn't matter either way what his abs look like, you know? To me it's all about energy/general attraction. But a nice body is nice to look at. Anything that's not overly chiseled and superficial looking is what I like. So maybe if a guy looks like he spends all his time trying to superficially look good (as opposed to, for example, being a hot surfer or dancer who just HAPPENS to have nice abs because of his lifestyle) then I will be less into it.
How about nobody cares except immature girls or lustful women who ogles after every guy she finds sexually attractive to sleep with? The problem is girls who get's how you guys think don't care. There is nothing interesting that a girl who lifts weights can do too. These girls know your trying to make them lust after you and that is a turn-off. Any guy who does that, I ignore them. If you're getting bad impressions it means it's overrated and every girl knows what you're doing. You're not being natural or original.
I don't know.. they look good to me lol I mean if a guy has abs then that's cool but its not mandatory. If my boyfriend gets abs thats a plus but for now he has a squishy tummy which is fine too. Listen okay.. women like abs just cause you don't see us openly drool over them like guys openly drool over boobs and butts, doesn't mean we don't see it. We do. media.giphy.com/media/RPy735iPkz60w/giphy.gif media.giphy.com/media/WDtmAkcDn5aCY/giphy.gif
1. a lot of guys that train to that extent seem to be full of themselves and want to show off their bodies (I can't stand arrogance... like to the point that I think it makes people look ugly) 2. I think lean, not super muscular guys look best. Just a preference.. of course it actually depends on the guy. 3. sometimes these guys are veeeery insecure. they need assurance from everyone that they look good and they constantly work for it, but it's never enough. (I don't like this type of person, because I really can't stand someone that needs attention 24/7... and also because that person is more likely to cheat... so long as someone will affirm their self worth)
Abs don't do anything for me personally, I don't really know why since it's just my preference. I prefer guys who are well built in the sense that they look a bit bigger, but not to the point where their muscles are super defined (gym rat alert). Like he's allowed to have some fat on his bod. I like guys who are like... soft but strong? If that makes any sense. I. e. most normal healthy guys who work out but whose lives don't revolve around their body fat %, what they eat and how much they can lift.
I don't think it's bad, just not my type. I like guys with a bit of a belly but also a little bit muscular. ☺️ I guess you could say I have a specific type. I think this guy is attractive.
maybe they don't like the cockiness or the foul sense of superiotity he has over something so mundane. maybe it indicates to them overconcentration to superficiality and not striving for inner growth and maturity. maybe some other girls have the problem themselves, and because they feel lazy/inadequate/ chubby, they want a man towards whom they don't feel inferior/ lower level.
I think girls realistically prefer guys who have defined muscles but aren't rock solid. I thiink most girls don't like it when guys make a big deal over their muscles or make them a focal point in their lives.
Why are the muscle men not so likable? We don't build this body for fame, but for the future girlfriend I hope you appreciate this more. You have no idea what pain and fatigue and time we spend on the GYM
I like nice arms and shoulders more than abs.. abs are nice too.. but usually the guys with these kinda abs spend 3-4 hours at gym everyday.. I'd like to be with someone who is fit but also can have fun and just chill with me instead of spending all the time working out..
well, as far as I know a lot of girls actually like that, so what are you talking about?:)) personally, I prefer guys who aren't very muscular, but as I said.. there are plenty other women who like the opposite. After all, it's a signt that you've been working hard to get in shape so it's something that should be appreciated. Don't worry;)
When they see guys that look like that picture, at least they know the guy is a complete moron. Intelligent men don't need to work out 6 hours a day. And don't tell me it is only 30 min or an hour a week. That might be once you get to that point. but to get to that point means you live in a gym. I can't stand spending even 30 min in a gym, complete waste of time. I rather go walk around my neighborhood.
I don't mind it tbh but it'll depend on how bulky the guy's muscles are overall. I prefer leaner muscle because I'm on the leaner side and I prefer to go for hikes, bike rides, play scrimmages at the park, etc. I don't even use the gym. Heavy lifting and body building can be impressive but the bulk can hinder movement and that's not cute.
Okay then. Like I said, it'll depend. I like a guy with a good range of motion all throughout his body. That means from his ankles up until his shoulders. Some body builders are hindered because of their muscles. I don't know how you train or what you train for.
I know that everyone's body is different, though. I don't mind the gym. I've just never been or needed it so if my boyfriend spent several hours a week at the gym, it would be otherwise free time I may want to spend with him.
I mean, it's not like I have to eat bland nasty food. I eat a balanced diet and season my food like no one's business. I taste good, fills me up, and energizes me.
Like I said. I do cardio. Just outside the gym. I also don't mind the gym either. My brother used to go hard (he was ripped) and I'd hang out sometimes (we had some friends who worked there). I just don't need the gym myself.
I live in a city too. I do sit ups, squats, lunges, planks, arches, and different yoga poses. I also borrow my brother's weights occasionally. I usually do it in my bedroom tbh. And then I'll go for moderately long walks/jogs occasionally. I know that some Cities may not be as safe or the weather may not be ideal, or something, so do whatever works best for you.
I don't think it's the fact that the guy has abs. like you said abs are hard to get. a lot of time in the gym. in my opinion (with the few expections) most people who all there time trying to get and the showing off their abs have very little substance and are usually pretty full of them selves. nice to look at but terrible to interact with.
It depends on the girl. Some girls like guys with lots of muscles because they feel protected. But then there are some that don't. You just got to find the right person. Also some girls like guys with muscles, but not to much. So for me I like guys with not a lot of muscles. The belly muscles make you look a little weird. To me. I like guys with belly abs but not too much. makes it look weird. So maybe that's the problem. But different girls like different stuff. So hun you will find the right girl who would like you for that. Because different girls like different body structures.
If they have a great personality, why would the fact that they have muscles deter you? I think people have double standards like girls are okay with seeing Jack Efron shirtless but don't like hugging someone who's basically a rock but then again aren't "Greek God's" in books usually carved out of stone?
For one guys that do have a nice midsection tend to show it off too much. And for good reason though, it takes a lot of work
Also girls tell me they most often prefer a jelly on the belly cause it's more comfy for them to rest on Rock hard abs gives her a rock hard belly to rest her head on and that's no beuno for the misses it seems
Guys with abs like that are usually douchey in my opinion. For me, I enjoy dad bods. They're not bad-looking in my opinion and the guys who have them are usually funny and kind and I value that more.
@KingOfMaise Its not every guy obviously. But most I've seen with abs ARE actually like that. Me personally, I dont even like abs that much, regardless of personality.
Hate em. My boyfriend has a bit of a tummy and I love playing with it. When I lie down on it, it feels so soft, like a pillow. He also looks more manly then men with muscles. But this is just my opinion
I love men with abs but most of them are very cocky about it. I like a confident man but there is a fine line between that and cocky and most of them cross that line
I love 6 packs & defined abs.. It takes hard work & dedication, which are traits that I enjoy.. However, when someone is full of themselves because of their appearance, it's a total turn-off.
I was merely asking for your opinion on why you feel girls don't actually want it on their boyfriends, thats all. also I looked and couldn't find the poll unless it was the what kind of guy do you like.
I dont really believe that they dont like it. I mean if the guy is fit and has abs, it looks good, not bad. I guess they are just lying a bit to themselves kinda like when guys say they dont like thin girls. Its just to basically "break against social constructs" or some shit like that. People dont want to feel like they have a shallow perception of beauty.
You don't have to believe me, but I really don't like it... to the point that it might disgust me. Overly fit guys just tend to look bad to me. I would be generally okay, so long as the person in question isn't a douche.. but no, personally, l think simply lean and not super muscular looks best.
Honestly they are impressive because I know it's hard to work them and get that pack, but it's just not something that calls me. I personally don't find a '"fit" body sexy. Some girls I know also feel intimidated by guys who have muscles. Maybe they think the guy might be too full of ego.
I prefer a softer middle to cuddle. Like, I would take a dude with abs over an overweight guy for sure, but I much prefer what they're calling "dad bod" these days.
Girls don't like it if you're obsessed over your body. The fact that you have abs implies that you might be because they're very hard to get and to maintain, so girls are just cautious about that. In and of itself, they're a turn on of course.
are you like, talking about them or is it something they find and then they're repulsed? if you're talking about your abs that sounds like a crap conversation
dude chicks dig abs I don't have any I'm pretty flabby lol it takes a special kind of lady to want me but ya chicks dig a dude who is well toned at the very least girls love muscular types too but I can't speak for all women but that's how life be
Its ok for them to like it... its only if they expect it bothers me. Kinda like when a female expects a hard-working man and you find out there lazy asf.
I don't like it when guys are "too" muscular in any area. It's kind of the equivalent if a girl who wears "too much" makeup. Like you're trying too hard to impress others. That's just my personal preference though. Everyone is different.
