Squigs me out. I couldn't handle dissections for my bio labs, and that really all I can think of when I see people who body build. We once watched some old 80's human anatomy vid in high school where this body builder would pop out different muscles as they talked about them. I only made it half way through before I had to leave class.
I guess I'm an extreme case but once you pass this link level of muscle I find guys decreasingly attractive. Usually, this is not a problem however as I'm a distance runner and it's disadvantageous for runners to bulk up so most the guys I train around/ know fall into the lean category.

Body building is unattractive and intimidating to me.
I like tall, slim men. If people like to take some care of themselves and go to the gym that's absolutely fine. But 6 packs, all that kind of thing, I don't find attractive.
This is my idea of attractive link
He obviously takes a bit of care with his appearence, as does this man (sorry about the picture...) link
Nothing more than that for me. More than that and it's an obsession and is unattractive.
Im a workout fanatic, so I lift weights occassionally, and now I'm starting to bulk up, so I hope my girlfriend doesn't mind. I'm fit/atheltic built, but I'm going into a little muscular as time goes by. =( she said she finds muscles gross and preferred a chubby guy.( she thinks its cute) Wish me luck lol
I think some people just do it because it's rewarding. It feels good to work at something and see it pay off, especially when it's something that makes you feel good anyway (exercise).

Too much or too little exercise both have their own pros and cons. Too much exercise can sometimes look unattractive to some of people and can cause some health problems, while too little exercise can cause obesity and different health problems. A little definition and being healthy can't really go wrong and looks good in most peoples eyes. Of course, when you are working with your appearance, you should only aim to make yourself happy.
There's a point when it gets to be gross. If you're just weight lifting and not actually trying to compete as a bodybuilder you should be fine. It's just that professional bodybuilders look almost unnatural and more than likely on steroids, but toned and tightened muscles are attractive. I think what you're going for is probably just right. I mean it would take some heavy duty commitment to get to the point when it is unattractive.
I think muscles are hot but if there's too much it just looks gross like this...

That looks disgusting and he looks like he would crush me during sex! D:
link <----- NOT OKAY!
I like a guy with muscles as long as he's not obsessed with his body and just trying to use his muscles to validate something he feels he lacks. Like if it gets to a point where he's not spending as much time with me because he'd rather go to the gym and work out when he already has muscles and looks good, I'd be annoyed.tight muscle and definition = great. super huge is disgusting in my opinion. I'm sure some women love it, but I've yet to meet a girl who was into that look. if it looks like you spend all day at the gym, then you're way too big for me.
The bigger they get, the smaller their penis looks.
I like it but to much of it is sickening to the eye
I like the "fit" look...basically where the person is toned. Not bulging muscles everywhere...might get crushed! lol
I don't find too much muscle attractive, Everyday work out muscles are fine.
Muscle is good, but there is definitely a limit. Your physique looks pretty good right now.

It is okay
