Ladies, are abs important for a guy to have?

Question

becks3 · Accepted Answer

I find overly muscular guys not that attractive sexually. I do look at them in awe because I admire the hard work and dedication they put in but for a partner I would prefer a mildly trained partner or just normal figure.
I find it attractive if you can see a little outlines of abs but just mildly. The guy in the pic would be pushing it for me.
What I find very unattractive are overly trained Popeye arms and legs. Like when you can see the calves.
Abs are way less important than men think mostly. They focus to much on this one thing. A proportionate figure is much more important. Which you can also train for.
The most physically attractive atributes for me in a guy are broad shoulders and maybe a bit of pecs would be nice but I'm not really trained myself so I'm not in a position to demand anything lol.

It's attractive yes. But is in no way necessary and definetly NOT the most important. Everyone is different so obviously this is just my opinion on it. To me the most important thing is personal care. That includes multiple things such as: shaving, good hygiene, no extremely unhealthy weight (so not morbidly obese and not skin and bones either) and a bunch of other factors.

In a sense i guess having abs shows someone takes good care of themselves but I know abs are not always there even if someone takes care of themselves.

Hope this helps a bit.

Abs aren't the most important. I don't find guys with abs but biceps and pecs weaker than mine attractive. You don't even need to do abs specific exercises to get them, you just need low body fat on your belly. Exercise is to make them bigger which would indeed increase the chances of them being visible, but a person who naturally has low body fat there could get them with minimal effort.

A balanced physique is hot. The guy in the pic is hot because he trains his whole body and he would still be hot if he gained a bit of fat and his abs wouldn't show as much. Would he be hot if he had no other muscles showing other than abs? Everything has to look balanced

I think abs are a bonus when dating a guy, but I wouldn’t date a guy just because of his abs. On a guys body, I think the most important thing is a nice defined back. I don't know why. But I go crazy for a guy with a nice back 😂😂😂 I like the V shape in the swimmers backs. Other than that, I like a decent jawline too

Brains are better than abs. A lot of guys with defined abs spend too much time working out to get them there. All that time at the gym would mean they don't have as much time for you. They also tend to be more arrogant about their looks because they know other girls like abs.

Can I share a phrase from my country?)
A man has to be just a bit more nicer than a monkey!

It means: your behavior and actions are much more important in relationship, than your ouside look.

I like big guys (to be taller and wider than me), I love abs as well. But no one of my exes had it, neither my boyfriend now. I have 6 pack, it's enough for me😁

LunaS · Answer

It's not important, it's just nice to look at. I don't like when a guy is super buff either. The guy in the picture is hot too cos his abs go well with his arms. Honestly, as long as a guy doesn't have a big belly, he has a chance with me.
I usually find eyes or a smile attractive in a guy, before I get to know his personality. Abs are a bonus

sapphireruby · Answer

I prefer toned, though I wouldn't mind a little pudg. The problem with abs is they're to hard (or it at least they look it) I want to spoon with a guy not a rock.

Hamsteroids · Answer

Nahh when they’re THAT defined like that, they’re actually kinda gross lol I prefer a nice V Line on a guy than abs tbh

Anonymous · Answer

it depends on the person. my two closest friends prefer “dad bods” over abs any day and i personally like abs. it’s not a deal breaker for if a guy doesn’t have them though so i wouldn’t stress too much about having them

HOAAH · Answer

Physically, just be in shape. I am not that into abs, but they are nice to look at. My husband is too skinny to have abs but he works out.

haleysalvigione2 · Answer

Yessssssssssssss abs are so hot everyone I’ve been with has had abs the one I’m tryna get with now has like abs on abs on abs

likelyOK · Answer

It's very sexy but definitely not a requirement. I don't think abs are as easy for guys to get as people think, carbs are def a factor

Felinegirl · Answer

Visible abs aren't important, but strength is to a degree. I love it when a guy can pick me up with ease.

MissKittyz · Answer

It isn't important just a bonus honestly lol yes, abs are sexy but I can be with a guy that doesn't have any.

northerngal · Answer

Nice to look at. I enjoy a nice flat stomach on a guy... but its not a show stopper for a guy I am in a relationship with.

TheLockofaHeather · Answer

They are definitely attractive but not imprortant. Plus there are many other attractive body types. It all depends on the girl and what she likes.

AngelAimée · Answer

I honestly do not like abs. I think they are weird looking. I like muscly but not completely ripped.

happyhedgehog · Answer

Nah, I'd say it's more important to have a skeleton and a nervous system and all of his internal organs. Mmmm, that's what makes a man.

CubsterShura · Answer

They aren't necessary, but a nice extra if he has them!

Harmseygrace · Answer

No. I find them kinda ew, especially v lines. A bit of fat is much comfier for cuddles.

smiledoll · Answer

Loredey · Answer

No, it looks nice, but it's not a must. I think, it's more important for a guy to have brain😌

evansmal · Answer

Not at all. Rather date a guy with a good personality than a good set of abs.

ALackey · Answer

Absolutely NOT. I don't have em so I wouldn't expect my partner to either

Hurlyburly · Answer

Nah not important at all. Might be nice to look at but that's pretty much it xD

Sel226 · Answer

Its aight, its more important that he's not a douche lmao

Teahappy · Answer

No way. A must have will have to be that he is humorous.

xyz94 · Answer

Not really, broad shoulders are most important body-wise.

tara987 · Answer

It's nicer to have abs than not but they aren't everything.

Miyasee_ · Answer

I don’t like abs. This doesn’t feel natural to me. Even disgusting if t it’s too much. Being not too skinny and not fat is important for guys to be

Andéersin · Answer

I will not speak for all women but for me: Hell yes.
