Do girls like guys with big bulky frames? Or just guys with girly bodies like the Backtreet boys?!

[Anonymous]

Do girls like guys with big bulky frames? Or just guys with girly bodies like the Backtreet boys?! Serious question! Because I was a college football player and heavy duty weightlifter for a couple years and I got huge (6'2'', 290lbs of muscle). Over the past 3 years I lost a lot of weight, maybe 250 now, because of back injury and can't lift as much weight. Definitely less bulky but still BIG(not fat gut wise, just big arms,shoulders, chest) Do girls like guys like me or what? What's ur feeling? Or do girls prefer girley men with pencil necks and toothpic arms!? Can they be intimidated to approach me sometimes because of my stature? Thank you.

I think there is such a thing as too much bulk, but from what you're saying, given your height and everything, it doesn't sound all that big. If you were giving Arnold Schwarzenegger (circa early 80s) a run for his money, I would say that you were too big. But, from your description, it doesn't sound like you are nothing but muscle on top of muscle on top of muscle. Where your muscles have muscles.

For my own personal tastes, I like a guy who is toned but not overly buff. I've dated guys who are lanky with little muscle mass, and it kinda bothered me that I have more muscle that he did. I've never dated a guy who is solid muscle though, so I could say either way. But I do like a guy to have some muscle mass, but not 100% solid.

That is just me though.

That sounds great! I think guys can look hot in a lot of different builds. The tall lanky ones and the big brawny ones both!

If I had to choose though, I’d say big and brawny is better (as long as it’s not just a load of fat; muscles are good) I stay fit and have fairly muscular legs (not hulk Hogan, but pretty toned) so it’s a little bit weird if my legs are bigger than his. I am a pretty petite girl, and I've never had a problem approaching larger guys. My last boyfriend was 6'6" and muscular (and sooo hottttt). So just keep working out—there are girls out there for ya ; )

Good luck!

In my opinion, bulky is better. We want men to look like men! However sometimes when guys are too big they start to look kind of fat instead of muscular.

i like guys who I feel aren't too big and aren't too skinny. I've mostly only dated skinny guys or a little build nothing too extreme. I don't approach guys, that's just my thing though. I am not intimidated but just prefer the guy to approach me. it depends on the girl

Depends on the girl. A lot of girls really like muscular guys, while other girls like "backstreet boy-like" guys. Personally, I don't really like a guy who is insanely muscular, a little muscle is ok, but too much is a turn off. But then again I'm one of those people who go for the thinner/no muscle guys hahha. But I think in the end all that really matters is your personality.

I have no idea what you're talking about because I love and like a man who has an awesome personality.

Personally, bulky is definitely better. I like those kinda guys better than the thin, lanky kinda guys. As long as it's muscle, it's good.

DUDE YOU SOUND SO HOT.

I have to say I don't like the whole hulk thing. Its a total turn off but he has to have some muscle. it really depends on the girl and what her preferences are. But you have to have a good personality.
