Is there such a thing as being too muscular?

[Anonymous]

I bench around 250 and I look pretty toned for the most part. Is there a point in which I should stop bulking up?

[springdragonfly]

yeah... I can only answer for myself. I definitely like men who look like they live a healthy/balanced but not obsessive/vain lifestyle. Toned as in "i stay fit" is attractive. However, when I see guys that are super bulky, I always just think they must be obsessed with their physique and I find that sort of investment of time and effort in gym-going or exercising out of vanity and not just to stay in shape makes me wonder why they don't have other hobbies and pursuits in life, or whether they are just over-compensating for certain other physical attributes.

I think if you are wearing a shirt, it should be vaguely or occasionally apparent that you are physically fit. Your muscles should NOT be making your shirt tight or on constant display.

Yes. I think once a guy bulks up too much, to the point that he looks disproportionate is a bit much.

If anything, you should bulk to the point that your height, and bulky-ness, look good.

See how small his head looks? That's not cute

some guys look nasty if they are that big and not tall enough. But 250 for a big dude might be just perfect ;)

I kind of want to see how you look

Is there a thing as being too muscular? Yes. But benching does indicate bulk. It indicates strength. Once your arms start to get in the 20's (inches) and your thighs in the high 20's and even 30's then you being to become too muscular. Even still there are some girls that love that much muscle, but your average girl, not so much.

Firstly, why are you anonymous?

Secondly, you gotta show pics, even I can lift 200-250 but I am not muscular so much. There are people who lift 100-150 and they are double my size. All depends on genetics and BMR

[Asker]

Haha I don't even look big in my picture.

I think yes. To me I think when you are rock hard everyone its not attractive.

[Anonymous]

Yes. I think most women are turned off by overly muscular guys.

[Jay_el]

[Anonymous]

yes. I myself am not attracted to bulk.
