Girls - how important is a ripped body to a guy?

[Anonymous]

I want to hear honest answers how big of an importance it got, let's say that the guy already got the right face, the right height/weight and the right shoulder width but isn't ripped.

I've been working out and I've noticed that gaining muscle mass in arms and chest is much much easier than it's getting a sixpack. I'm slowly getting there but it's extremely hard without any additives - like steroids! And all that hard work seems meaningless as soon as you wear your shirt on, so I wonder am I just wasting my time or do girls really think it's something important to have.

Plenty of girls, even pretty ones go for average and even unattractive guys anyway so perhaps for me as a guy focusing on appearance won't really help a lot anyway?

It's not SUPER important but I love to be with a guy whos ripped. It feels better when you hug his arm and its thick, not skinny like a girls. My baby stopped working out so his arms are kind smaller but I love him ripped or not. So it's def not a deal breaker.

Not important at all. As long as he is in a healthy weight range. I actually think this link is way too much, it's nice for a guy to have a toned upper body but I don't really care for a six pack.

ya whatever way you come is fine. abs are nice but definitely do not make or break the deal. stay in shape but don't kill yourself over your physique.

It is about as important as a hot girls body. The eye candy is great, but they are also aware that in reality most people aren't shredded so as long as you aren't excessively fat or skinny they are okay with most "average" bodies

Only shallow girls only care about how guys look physically, if you're confidence and personality us all that matters, man. Hopefully you're working out and stuff for yourself. I could care less if a guys " swole " or not lol. Try to show off your personality and not your body.

A firm/hard stomach is nice.. it doesn't need to be all cut up.. but if you really want it work for it! Don't just do it for girls.. do it for yourself! :]! it does look awesome.

That's the point, stronger arms are more convenient but I see no reason why should I have a sixpack, there's no real use of it.

I do expect girls to take care of their appearance to be more attractive to me so I why shouldn't I take a step towards them instead of just demanding?

[AudiR8]

? ? ? ? ? What's with people always doing things for other people? Do it for yourself! If you want it, get it! If you don't, then don't! Simple. Don't do it solely because you think girls expect it, be happy and do things that matter to YOU!

I do not care if a guy is "ripped". Bulging muscles are actually disgusting.

Being toned is great, but if you're "ripped".. ew. And if you're not really all that toned up, it's fine, too.

[Asker]

Well, I think the same way that muscles popping out look disgusting but hey - I'm a guy and I'm straight, how could I know what women like? Some say they like it, others like you say otherwise

[britannny]

Yeah, for some reason, a lot of girls like that. But most girls aren't going to be any less attracted to you if you don't look like that.

[Asker]

Well, that's true. Thank you for the answer!

It would be a plus if you have 6 pack abs but it`s okay if you are not ripped just toned and healthy is fine. Attitude is also more important.
